    I’ve moved around with podcast apps, especially Castro, for a while but I think I’m going to stay on Overcast. The app is great, and fully featured. Marco really cares about the user’s privacy as some podcasts try to add analytics and such to their feeds. While there is ads displayed if you don’t subscribe, but these ads aren’t intrusive and are actually quite useful, as they’re ads for podcasts. Just about every feature is free, which is great as well. Edit after the rewrite. I really like the new now playing screen, it’s really lovely. At first, it needed a bit of getting used to, but most of the time I use Overcast is not in the app. Either way, the app is as great as ever, with a new-looking polish on it that makes me happy to keep subscribing.

    Used to be great but refuses to play anything over airplay anymore which is the only time I used the app. All other apps work fine with airplay.

    Switched from Apples podcast app a year ago. Non-invasive adds, excellent UX
  • Burned by recent update? Try it again!

    Been using Overcast for YEARS, and like many others, ran into some issues with the recent major rewrite. However, all the issues for me have been fixed and the developer has been extremely active in getting the App working better than ever. If you left in frustration recently, it’s time to come back!

    Since the big update this past fall the app has gotten way more attention. It’s adopting new iOS 18 features and feels like it’s more up to speed. It’s always had excellent audio quality and smart speed. But I’m glad the app is moving forward again.
  • Doest work 🤷🏾‍♂️
