  • How did I miss this app?!!

    I am an avid podcast listener. When I switched over to an iPhone years ago I was so sad to lose Podcast Addict. I couldn’t find a podcast app that I liked back when I made the switch so I very reluctantly used Apple Podcast. I eventually got used to the annoyance. Now, it’s all changed for the better! Overcast does everything (yeah everything) better than Apple Podcast. I wish I found this app long ago but I’m so happy I found it now :)

  • Has become unusably slow

    I really like a lot of features of this app, but it has become unbearably slow, it’s excruciating to use. Every tap has at least a 5-10 second lag, the app regularly crashes and can take like 30 seconds just to open. It’s gotten to the point where I just can’t stand to use it anymore, which is particularly frustrating as I can’t seem to find a replacement that has all the features I want that this app does include, if only it worked. I tried to contact support and never received a response. It’s a real shame, but it is broken now and is unusable.
  • Great podcast app!

  • Plays well

    The player works well once you build a queue or a play list. Honestly building a playlist is a pain. Adding all 34 episodes of a podcast that need to play in sequence and as a set… totally manual and a pain.
  • The SMART SPEED feature is beyond five stars

    The SMART SPEED feature allows one to speed up the playback without speeding up everything. It varies playback speed, in part, by decreasing dead spots in the audio. I have found this way easier to follow than simply speeding playback.

  • Great podcast app. Great replacement for Google Podcasts

    Overcast is GREAT! I'd been using Google Podcasts for several years and really like the ease of selecting, organizing, and choosing my time and method for downloads of the podcasts I subscribed to. With Google Podcasts having gone away in April of 2024, Google was pushing the move to YouTube Podcasts. YouTube podcasts user interface is terrible, IMO, cluttered with video, hidden controls, having to flip through multiple pages to change between podcasts....not at all intuitive and a chore to just listen to my podcasts. I did a search in Perplexity for a free podcast app that managed podcasts similarly to Google Podcasts that was iPhone compatible. Top of the list was Overcast, and it's even better than Google Podcasts. Highly, highly recommended!
