What was I waiting for?!

I’ve been so hesitant to switch from the Apple podcast app. I don’t know why, misplaced loyalty I guess. With the last update, the Apple app became so frustrating, as you all know. Overcast came highly recommended, so I tried it. Wow. The main difference is that Overcast has common sense. It’s simple, but intuitive. I learned my way around quickly, and even found new podcasts to listen to. I was afraid of/too lazy to learn how to use a new app, but within 24 hours I had most things mastered. Love it. Highly recommend!!

ZERO Customer support

I have asked repeatedly and urgently for help. My phone is filling up with history and politics podcasts downloaded by Overcast I need to transfer them off the phone onto my PC and then unto an external drive for long term storage. I can find no way to do that and no matter how many times I ask no help with the problem is forthcoming. Shame to spoil a good app with such poor customer service but as of this last month that’s how it is.

Best app. Better then Apple’s

Buy it and support the developer, Marco. If podcasts are your best friends, this is the app for you. I remember when podcasts were around before iTunes even supported them. Had one myself from the mid 2000s–2014. Simple. Not flashy. Reliable. And beyond that, features that are icing on the cake like smart speed and voice boost. I subscribe to, just counted, 82 podcasts and listen to over 3/4 of them consistently. The smart speed has saved me 360 hours of my life according to the stat in my settings. Can listen to most podcast at 2X and a few of them at 3x and the audio sounds great with being clippy or distorted. Hope Marco stays at it for many years to come.
