I’ve used this app for. years. It WAS way better than apple podcast app, spotify, etc. i USED TO love it.
Sadly it “updated” recently. Awful. Putting aside the ridiculously jumbled UI they introduced, it
Now wont play until it downloads, so makes it sllllooooooowww. Sleep timer is hidden away.
If its not rolled back in a week Im out.
2 stars cos grateful for what it has been. One star for what it is now.
Arguably the best Podcast client gets even better
Update: Excellent, high performance refresh to an already excellent app. Happy to be a subscriber too.
Continues to be excellent, with significant improvements and further battery life optimizations, plus added features for Patrons (dark mode etc). Still my favourite podcast client for ANY price, and I've tried MANY. Excellent defaults, and superbly well considered user experience. Marco shows how good boutique software can be.

Easily the best podcast app - not even close!
still the best
Smart Speed has saved me over 1,200 hours in the time I’ve used Overcast – here’s to 1,200 more! 🍾🥂
Update has broken the app
Since the rewrite, playlists are not working correctly, in particular the priority ordering settings within playlists. This has made it hard for me to use the app as I used to.
Incredible new version! So fast and fantastic to use.
Love this new update! Just awesome all around.
Awesome!
Rewrite makes the app so buttery, love the way you can go back after and accidental seek.
Update is a shame
Previously a very good app, the current update has removed the most useful aspects. Can’t just click a Bluetooth accessory to start a new podcast and no streaming. Endless episodes of ‘syncing’ that won’t progress unless you leave the app running. Such a shame because now its mostly useless.
My favourite podcast app
My everyday podcast app, probably my most used app. The recent update modernises the app setting up for a great future for overcast.
The best podcast app
Been best in class for years, and I’ve been a paying customer for years
Recent redesign improved performance, reliability and UX modernity. Looks good. Feels faster.
Requests;
- chapter note icon would be great to make bigger, so I can see it under my fat fingers. Would prefer it on right side per previous muscle memory of old design
- ability to delete a podcast while playing (current flow to delete from the now playing screen is hard to figure out. I rarely listen to the end of some podcasts which bundle in ads at the end)
- clearer ability to see all of a show’s episodes from the now playing screen. Current redesign I can’t figure that out
Overall this remains the best and definitive podcast app, across any OS. That one person makes it is all the more remarcoable. Highly recommended despite minor nitpicks above
