Overcast

I used to love this app. But since the overhaul, it’s been buggy as hell. Episodes that I’ve added to queue are not there and missing.

The new updated app is already perfect (after some updates adding missing features). It really is the best podcast app! 🥰

When I first opened the updated version of Overcast, I was initially surprised by the new design. It didn't take long, though, for me to get accustomed to it. I understand that not everyone is thrilled about having to adapt to a new design in apps they use daily, but after using it for a bit, I can confidently say it's a change worth embracing. Marco has mentioned that this redesign is part of a broader plan to ensure the app's development continues smoothly in the future. If this change helps secure the longevity and improvement of our favourite podcast listening app, it's a no-brainer for me. I believe in giving this update a chance, as it could mean Overcast will continue to serve us well for years to come. And let's be honest—if you find yourself unable to adapt to these changes, there are other podcast apps out there. But for now, I'm sticking with Overcast and I am optimistic about what this and future updates will bring.

The app works great once a podcast is being played, but getting it to play is a challenge sometimes. Managing episodes and keeping track of what you have or haven't listened to is a chore, not only due to confusing design, but also bugs present for multiple years. After losing even some of the functions to the rewrite, I'm afraid I'll have to look for something else.

Overcast is best in class of apps for listening to spoken word because of the ingenuity of its custom audio engine that allows skipping through silence parts. This feature combined with higher than normal listening speed is great to ingest lots of information in even shorter time. Personally I miss some UI features that were removed during last rewrite of the app, but I still use Overcast everyday. I also hope that many missing features could be reintroduced to app and I am looking forward to that.

I really like the new design, great job!

Does what needs to do flawlessly, gets out of the way. Giant pluses: voice amplification and pause elimination. Love it.

The new redesign of the app is absolute disaster ! Every simple task (star, play next, move to queue, info about playing podcast), which took in the previous version just one clic, now takes two and more clicks and the time for managing the app is much longer. I am very disappointed from the new version.

Love the new Design ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Smart speed is an amazing feature. Great, understandable UI.
