A powerful yet simple podcast player, with features such as Smart Speed, Voice Boost, and Smarter Playlists to help you listen to more podcasts in more places, try new shows, and completely control your experience. Note: ...
Ive come from Pocketcasts where for each podcast you can choose how many seconds in the podcast can start from good way to skip the intro fluff To be fair I upgraded due to the smart speed but I think Pocketcasts has that too now              Needs an intro skip
Today I purchased the OVERCAST app to show my support for the ethics of its developer This developer removed another carefully crafted app from the App Store when it was discovered that it posed potential harmful unintended consequences 48 hours after release Based on the excellent performance of the Ghostery app also by this developer Im sure 499 spent on OVERCAST will prove an excellent value                 Ethical purchase excellent developer
Simple interface great user features I love the ability to share specific episodes can even start at a particular point within an episode and easy navigation of the app The only thing of note is that it only supports audio podcasts If you watch video versions of podcasts youll need to use another podcatcher for that                 Very Nice App
Best podcast app Period                 The BEST
Thank you for this its both beautiful and a pleasure to use                 Simple Elegant The best
iPhone Podcast was updated in iOS 9 and its usefulness went downhill instantly Overcast is very simple to use and has all the right features you need to search for and play your podcasts Not complicated and not festooned with fluff Thanks folks for doing this                 Thank Goodness for an App That Works
Thanks to the developer for prioritizing this sync fix We appreciate your time and attention What do I love about Overcast Smart Speed and the priority playlists Those are the best reasons you get and then paytounlock this app Theyve absolutely improved my enjoyment of podcasts wherever I want to consume them I wouldnt mind streaming support but until thats baked in its only a minor annoyance to wait for a complete download over cellular while on the go                 Really clever features autodelete works for me
The app frequently fails to download podcasts and most recently after failing to download one it crashes every time I open it It was pretty nice when it worked but Id rather use an app thats more stable        Inconsistent downloads and crashes
Ive tried a halfdozen different podcast apps without question this is the best                 Best of breed
Love the design controls and features Pleasure to use It is powerful but stays out of the way and doesnt complicate the act of listening Love that the nextprevious track buttons skip or jump back within the current podcast                 Awesome podcast app
Ive tried them all instacast downcast castro apples podcatcher rss player this is hands down the best                 Great
I love this app Best 5 bucks I ever spent the all saves time by accelerating silences I love it                 Amazing app Literally saved you time
I have close to 10 years of history with the Apple Podcasts app and the task of tracking playedunplayed episodes manually has been the major factor that has kept me from switching But the slow atrophy of Apples native podcasting was greatly accelerated with the release of iOS 9 What was once a pain has now become completely broken and nonfunctional 10 days after the release the incremental iOS update did nothing to fix Podcasts Message received Apple So when looking at replacements Overcast is the clear leader With a cleaner interface and the attention to detail in usability Im ready to take the dive and migrate                 Bit the bullet
Smart Speed has saved me 23 hours in listening time Go ahead and pay for it now youll thank me                 Best podcast app ever
Simple and effective Love this app                 Love this app
It was a little confusing at first to figure out this app But I got the hang of it after a few days Plus who cares its a free app with thousands of podcasts                 Pretty awesome
Overcast to me is the app that all podcasts app should aspire to be Love SmartSpeed since most of my favorite podcasts run at least 2 hours Way to go Mr Marco                 Love this app
Like others said I should have switched sooner I just wish SOMEONE would offer full right or left hand controls to make it easier for small handed people              Way better
Like the interface easy to manage Extras are worth the cost                 Best Podcast App for Me
Better more reliable and lighter than Apples podcasts app                 Great app
I really enjoy this app Recently I have gotten more into podcasts at work and this app has made the experience better There are a few things that I would like if the developers are looking for suggestions stats like how many minuteshours Ive listened what Ive listened to on what days etc ability to make a playlist with only selected episodes For example one episode each of my choosing from 5 different podcasts So I dont have to open up the app and scroll through my list of podcasts each time I want to listen to something different better suggested podcasts I would love a related podcasts section in each one so I can find others that are similar to the ones I like And improved suggestions from Twitter sometimes I get suggestions in Spanish what makes the app think I speak Spanish I love the smart speed feature but it can make some podcasts sound super choppy and like the people are speaking way too fast All in all a great app              Improves the podcast experience
Loving the Overcast App Easy to use and plays well                 The Podcast app
By far my favorite podcast application But the real shining moment is the in app purchase for smart speed and voice boost Simply amazing Do yourself a favor and get the app and the in app purchase                 Fantastic
The title says it all Great attention to detail All the features I need                 Fantastic
Best podcast playing app available right now Ive tried all the popular ones and this one is the best                 Really nice app
Overcast hits on all the simple things you want and takes care of all the complexity in the background Smart Speed and Voice Boost are game changers The colors and UI are clean and the UX makes sense Not much higher praise I can give Marco                 This is the best podcast player Ive ever used
I absolutely cannot live without Overcast I heavily rely on the smart skip feature which speeds through pauses and I thoroughly enjoy giving my money to a developer who makes bad apps                 My favorite app on iPhone
from the ever worsening Apple app                 Welcome relief
There is much to like about Overcast It has a clean well thought out interface that the developer is know for I really enjoy easily being able to access to show notes for each podcast complete with the ability to click on links Apple watch support works well also                 Solid Podcast Player
Have used several podcast apps and have been frustrated by bugs lack of features and poorly designed interfaces Overcast is simple intuitive and easy to use With the increasing number of great podcasts I needed a way to organize the 40 or so that I now listen to I use the paid version so that I can create and manage lists of podcasts by category                 Enjoy the Overcast
No hype it is just the best of many good apps                 This is the best podcast app available
The smart silence feature is worth it alone The CarPlay integration is great                 Love it Really well thought out
I love this app Best podcasting app in the store                 Best App Ever
The premium upgrades are worth every penny                 Perfect
Great app but smtg wrong in last update with Apple Watch its draining my battery Battery usage is 71 in past day and I havent listened to any podcasts at all Ill change my review after the bug is fixed     battery usage crazy
I heard of this when my native Apple Podcast app ceased to work after ios9 upgrade and I searched for solutions Its great Ios91 did not fix Podcasts Btw the Apple app issue affects those who had multiple subscriptions The app tries to update the library then crashes This app is so good so far that I dont care if they fix the bug                 Replaced my broken podcast app
The app is nice and I enjoy the audio balancing feature Better than the Apple version But downloading any podcast makes the app completely unusable until the download finishes Have this happen with many downloads and it gets very frustrating Also giver users a choice to use the system San Francisco font instead of the light and airy one thats hard to read           Decent
A great podcast app particularly if you pay 5 to unlock everything download over cellular I run and drive to Overcast almost daily The UI is straightforward and capable but not spartan like the majority of early watchOS apps Its well thought out and works nicely on the iPhone the Apple Watch and in CarPlay but I cant wait for a watchOS 20 version that runs natively and supports uploads to the watch I still dont know why Apple doesnt offer better podcast support on the watch All the better for Marco I guess              Looking forward to Watch OS 20 native version
It is the best Pay for the features you will never go back                 Best podcatcher app
The smart speed and voice boost paid features are amazing Streaming would be awesome if it was an option Its understood that its probably pretty hard but its really nice when on wifi to not fill phone space              Great app except no streaming
I absolutely love this app I unlocked it This app is a part of my day everyday and it is a pleasure to use                 Love this podcast app
I love this app                 Best podcast app ever
Probably the best podcast app Free to use I donated money to maximize its features without hesitation Its design is sleek and simple and its features like smart speed really solidify a positive user experience                 5 Stars
Before this app was released I tried many times to be a podcast listener but all the other apps I tried put too many obstacles in my way Now I can enjoy podcasts without friction                 The only way I can listen to podcasts
Im an avid podcast listener and I just dont get the hype I bought this after hearing a Tim Ferriss show and for the first time feel a little dumb for buying it Yes I get the speed up function but to be honest Im not worried about those few saved minutes Also try listening to Lewis Howes sped up and youll want to rip your ears off I also hate searching for a new podcast if you select one to download youre brought back to the main screen and will have to search again to be brought back to the category you were just in Not impressed and Im going back to the Apple app        Wow not impressed
than Apples Podcasts                 So much better
Best podcast app Ive ever used                 Best podcast app around
I tried downloading a single episode via cellular only to watch it completely fail and start over after passing 80 downloaded It appears if something interrupts the download which donuts take much it just starts over from scratch Ive been waiting an hour to download a single episode which is now on my 4th attempt to download I have to keep the app awake front center until the download completes No idea why it works fine on WiFi but gets clumsy on cellular     Careful Downloads Easily Interrupted
Its free but it works It does everything you need a podcast app to do and no issues what so ever So simple its a musthave                 Fantastic
Great app Does exactly what it says on the box and adds some very cool features like voice boost                 Pretty simple and usable
