Fantastic but buggy
I’ve been an Overcast user for years and years, it’s been my podcast player for most of my adult life and I have had a 5 star review on this bad boy since the beginning. I love this podcast player.
I’m downgrading the review to a 3 though because lately the app feels like it’s become much buggier. Audio often stops playing even while the podcast ticks down. Swipe actions also often trigger interaction so deleting episodes first plays them. Download failures, there’s a memory leak on the search screen where if you search, exit, and open search again you get your old search.
It’s still a great podcast player but it doesn’t feel all that reliable anymore. I hope it’s temporary and I’ll back here again with a 5 star review in a few months!
(EDIT: the feature that showed that podcasts would play via headphones apparently got dropped. I now have to tap the airplay button before hitting the play button always when listening at work. I’m starting to think I’ll be using a new podcast app next year)

Legit info delivered in an engaging way
I love this podcast. These cats deliver evidence based skincare info that I find so useful when choosing products I use.

The best podcast app
I fairly regularly try others and keep coming back to Overcast. It tells me I’ve saved hundreds of hours of listening time by enabling the Smart Speed feature.

New iOS broke the app
I've been using Overcast for at least 10 years and have loved it. The last week, since the iOS upgrade the app has been unusable. It freezes immediately after opening it up and the app sometimes will start playing on its own without any touch or even an accidental switch.
Need a new app, or even better, an acknowledgment that Overcast needs/is getting an update soon!

Shameful
And the developer knows why.
