@marcoarment Wow. That's a lot of people running on a beta OS already.

@kevingamin they did just make it way easier to join a beta, that’s probably why.

@qeweyou Excellent point.

@marcoarment Time to make the minimum iOS 17 then!

@pauldecarli Thank you! As a person running the iOS 17 since WWDC I’ll take that as a complement. 🤓

@marcoarment Here it’s already 5.7% : 3.0% 🙂

@marcoarment Wow. I assume your users are more techy than most but I’m amazed iOS 15 is that low. I know people upgrade fast but still.

@marcoarment I assume those are 2nd and 3rd place of most used OSS?

@mgangelov @marcoarment Given that 14 isn’t supported by Overcast anymore, I’d guess so

@marcoarment If the iOS usage falls, perhaps ask if Apple’s losing market share. Both Apple and Microsoft products are becoming more unstable over time in my experience.

@DarkMatterZine @marcoarment it’s an iOS-only app, so 100% of it will be iOS no matter what.

@chucker @marcoarment Oh that’s a shame. I don’t know what it is but I am not a fan of putting all your eggs in one basket for multiple reasons. I mean, look at the shit Threads is getting for not being available on browsers.

@marcoarment any idea why the watch app has crashed and when uninstalled won’t reinstall in the past two Overcast TestFlights?
Show threadFLEEECYJul 23, 2023
@marcoarment Does Overcast Beta crash in CarPlay for iOS 17 like it does daily for me on iOS 16? That might be a good reason to try the beta!
Show threadMike TaffetJul 23, 2023
@Fleeecy @marcoarment I can only speak for the version in the App Store but I’ve been on the 17 beta since it came out and I use overcast CONSTANTLY in my car. CarPlay has been fine with Overcast in 17. Then again, it was fine on 16 too.
Show threadFLEEECYJul 24, 2023
@miketaffet @marcoarment I assume the released version isn’t crashing, but the beta is making the whole app crash every time I exit CarPlay. I hope this gets sorted before release! 🤕

@marcoarment there’s a non-zero chance that a number of Overcast’s users are dogfooding Apple employees.

@marcoarment I'd be curious as to what the macOS usage is. As someone who is still on Monterey because Ventura's system settings is so awful, I hope we don't lose Overcast! (Still having a smidge of hope that preferences improves in Sonoma)
