Thanks for fixing the streaming bug

Great app. One other thing would be great if fixed - the user interface. It’s very hard for stupid peeps like myself to navigate between podcasts, and even episodes within a podcast. Can you simplify and make more logical the user interface? Suggest doing exactly the opposite of what Apple Podcast does. Less flash, more functional. The app apparently doesn’t track you which is great. Thanks

Can only access rubbish

Waste of money

Much better than Apple Podcast. Thank you!

Thank you!

Great app, very stable and trouble-free

As above

This is a great app

don’t worry about losing podcasts you have partly listened to, it remembers for you. I won’t go anywhere else

Sadly declined in quality - randomly deleted my entire library

I started using Overcast several years ago and for a long time it was the best app out there. Sadly no longer. It is glitchy and annoying - every time there is an update some new unexpected error occurs. For example - sometimes a podcast mysteriously stops updating, even though new episodes appear on the feed. Or sometimes a podcast stops downloading and restarts… continuously. Why? Who knows. Meanwhile, other apps are out there and are getting better with new features. Out of loyalty I have stuck with Overcast (I don’t really care about new features anyway), but since it decided to DELETE my entire podcast library and refuse to re-download any episodes from my subscribed feeds, I have decided that enough is enough. I literally have an empty app with no downloaded episodes and no ability to download new ones. I’m sure I could fix this by redownloading the app, but why would I do this just to have it happen again. It’s time to move on.

Please fix issue

This has been a problem with this app on iphone since years ago. When I press “play” to stream, nothing happens other than the “progress wheel” turning and it never stops. Can you please fix? I really want to get off apple podcasts. Thanks Addition: can the user interface be simplified? Can get lost in the interface. Although it looks nice, not easy to navigate

Cràp

This app leaves me on loading with most podcasts unable to play. When I finally do get one to play I cannot cast it to any other speaker. Useless Worse than google podcasts and that’s really saying something these days.

Amazing app

So easy and wonderful to use - I’ve been using this app for years and it’s fast and well thought out. Thanks for such an awesome app! 🙏🏻

Terrific

I found Overcast when my iTunes podcasts went wonky. What a lifesaver! Love it ❤️
