Poor reliability
Downloading larger episodes frequently fails even on fast / reliable WiFi connections, very annoying
8 year listener. This app is great
I listen to a lot of podcasts, I love this app. There are a lot of little settings you can play with to suit your listening tastes, and the feed layout is very intuitive. I particularly like the smart speed feature, which has saved me 430 hours of listening time by just taking out spaces/ pauses between words.
The developer is always adding new features and tweaks to make the app better. I like the autogenerated transcripts so I can seek to a moment im looking for.
Highly recommend this app for podcast enthusiasts, of for people fed up with loud, annoying, unskippable Spotify pre-roll adds (for a service that you pay for). Overcast is so much better

Once-great app feels vibe-coded and brings flaws to the fore
Per my original review, was “highly intuitive to discover, sample, subscribe to and play podcasts”, “easy on the eye” and “potentially addictive”. But seven years is a long time in tech, and bloat has since set in. Podcasting has now matured to the point where player core functionality is easy to nail down. Five tabs ought to do it: Suggested (by OvercastGPT); Subscribed; Played; Saved; Disliked. Marco (nice engaging chap with heart and head in right places) and Overcast needed a step back and refresh, but this release rather misses the mark. In recent months, various features work and then stop working - almost as though the code itself were non-deterministic, somehow…

Great podcast app
The best podcast app
And now Overcast is what is should be.
Glad Marco finally turned his hearing ears on. And which Ai assistance has fixed the worst edge case bugs I’ve had trouble with for a long time.
Thanks friend, you’ve earned this rating.

Stable release
Reliable and stable.
Causes storage problems
I finally deleted this app after having it installed for some years. Doing that freed up 50gig of space on my phone!!! That’s around 50% of my entire phones storage. And that’s AFTER previously deleting all downloaded podcasts. Truly moron-level programming.
If this is Apple’s “editor’s choice “, it’s pretty obvious that that endorsement system is totally bogus.

No podcasts
Downloaded the app but there’s no podcasts. Search returned nothing! So I deleted it 🤷♂️
Doesn’t Even Work
See title. Maybe I’m inept, or maybe this app is completely busted. It won’t search. At all. This makes it completely useless.
Too many ads recently
I have loved this app for years, but in the past couple of months I am getting multiple ads what seems like every 15 minutes. I get the need for revenue but it is annoying and the ads are LOUD.
The best value and the best audio
Overcast offers a premium experience at a lower price than its competitors, all while keeping the best parts free! Its smart speed feature is unmatched, and unlike other apps where silence trimming is obvious, Overcast’s is barely noticeable. It’s a well-designed and thoughtful app.
The transcripts are a fantastic bonus. I love the ability to transcribe private feeds, a feature unique to Overcast. The design is both attractive and user-friendly, and while it initially took me time to appreciate the playlist-based organization, I’ve grown to love it. I’m definitely sticking with Overcast!

Once great app has failed
Daily podcast are not consistently downloading despite having background refresh enabled. More often than not I have to manually download the show.
Streaming is just bad. If the show isn’t downloaded and I try to stream, it’s unreliable. The show will start to stream get about 2 minutes in then just drop. The app then automatically jumps to the next podcast.
Used be a great app but I’ll just use Apple’s native app

Skips to the next episode every time
I’ve been using this app since 2015 and have been holding on for the last year hoping you’d fix the bug that causes every non downloaded episode to skip to the next one 30 seconds after it starts. I’m done waiting, it’s so annoying and makes the app unusable. Get your s together overcast
What you are wanting
For the first time in a long time I feel like I actually downloaded effective freeware from the AppStore, the subscription isn’t needed for all the features aside from history, which I wouldn’t use AND EVEN THEN I may buy it in the future because I am so appreciative of this product, it can download from any rss feed and as I want my podcast files downloaded en masse I had previously been downloading from pc rss downloaders (gp*der etc) and then transferring all of those files!
Not only does this stop me from having to do that, instead letting me download them directly to my phone (if you want to install all episodes of a show mark the whole thing read, then unread) but it also automatically generates well timed transcripts!, previously I was quite inconvenienced by having to do that on my pc with whisper

Perfect
Used this app for years now, does all the automations you would expect, makes podcast management simple.
Best podcast app
I initially had issues with the app crashing and not skipping to the next podcast episode. Then I figured out it’s best to let the app download podcast episodes so I’m not streaming them. Once that was resolved, the app stopped crashing and it skips to the next episode. One complaint I do have, however, is I have to scroll through hundreds of episodes each time I want to go to the next episode in the series, as opposed to being sticky like Spotify.
