Overcast

De app werkt erg soepel, zelfs op een iPhone 4S. Donwloaden, terwijl die afspeelt, is een goede keuze en gaat erg snel. De app is goed ontworpen en de smart speed functie is soms erg handig.

Overcast is configurabke, stable, and it does not advertise content i have not subscribed to. And I like that it syncs state between iPhone and iPad.

Basically looking for a pocket casts alternative, but find myself unable to overcome te lack of manual control of / finetunng‘the playlist’.
I keep hoping it will get implemented one day though .

Fantastic app, since recently I can’t use the digital crown on my Apple Watch to adjust the volume…. Is this a known problem?

Every time I open overcast, it keeps showing 2 episodes from a year ago for all channels, because I never listened those. Which I don’t want.
Don’t keep suggesting old episodes, and allow me to mark ALL as listened. I want to clean up the stuff but cannot because it keeps spamming it library with old stuff.

De beste podcast speler voor je iPhone. Doet meer dan alleen maar de basics. Ik ben vooral blij met voice boost en smart speed.

A good app that does everything you want from a podcast app in a simple way.
Build on open standards for podcasts it is the only app I would use for listening to podcasts! Highly recommend.

Veruit de beste app voor het beluisteren van podcasts. Super duidelijk en veel opties. Perfect!

I have used Apple podcast for a long time but this one is a whole other experience.
Try it, it’s free.

When I want to download all episodes of a playlist sometimes some (recently added) podcasts disappear from that playlist.
I like the app because of smart resume and voice boost. What I don’t like is the inability to select multiple episodes to delete or add (to a playlist) all at once. Basic functionality, IMHO. And why suddenly a submenu Add to, when there’s plenty of room on my screen for all my playlists? An extra step to fill my playlists.

The only thing that I miss is the ‘Mark all as completed’… I’m back to overcast premium after trying other apps.. but this app is simply the best for my Apple Watch.

Great app but the audio quality sounds slightly better in Apples podcast app, are you playing the highest quality audio from rss feeds? m4a instead of mp3? Horrific Apple Watch app, doesn’t synchronize and keeps on hanging and not downloading. Trying to use it when working out, very frustrated experience. Either do it good or delete the app cause this is just horrible. You are clearly not using the app yourself otherwise your quality is better. I know the sdk of watchOS has issues but then just delete the app, this is completely unusable. Audio just stops after random moments, podcasts are not updated for weeks, progress spinner is spinning forever. Deleted the app and reinstalled, nothing works. Absolute garbage piece of coding Marco. Terrible quality. You’re so critical about quality about everything and everyone , and you release this.

This app is better then the Apple podcast app.
Too bad it lacks podcasting 2.0 features like value4value (basically, pay to listen instead of listen to adverts).
For podcasting 2.0 I would recommend Breez. So that’s what I do: all the podcast shows that are on the upgraded version I listen to on Breez. All the shows that haven’t upgraded yet I still listen on Overcast.

This one has everything you need in a podcast app. Even uploading your own audiobooks when you pay for the premium version. Can recommend it highly.

I love this app and switched, because it gave me more options to sort my playlists from old to new for example.
It's a little difficultt to add or remove a podcast from a playlist though. Could be simplified.

It keeps downloading old episodes, again and again. Very annoying, please fix :-)

Also, when playing from playlist In Progress, adding an episode with Play Last doesn’t work. The Queue playlist is made/used instead with only the current episode and the added one.
