App Store
@overcastfm @marcoarment I hear it’s good — you should install it!
@overcastfm Congrats! If that's the first time Overcast has been App of the Day, it's long overdue
@BenRiceM you realise it’s not selected on merit right? Ad placement has been a thing in the App store for a little while…as much as Marco’s rants on the subject would have you falsely believe.
@overcastfm wait till they see the whole new SwiftUI redesign… in 2024?
@overcastfm Can’t wait for the update. I am guessing interactive widgets in ios 17 is on the cards? 🙂
@overcastfm I’ve been using Overcast for many many years, even got grandfathered into the no ads version (but I still pay). I gave Apple podcast a spin again recently, as it had been many years, and it is quite nice too, but the dealbreaker was different speeds for different podcast Shows. Way to go Marco.
@overcastfm ...saves you hours of time by automatically skipping all the empty pauses it does!
@overcastfm makes me happy to see really great apps still featured in the Game Store. Smart Speed has saved 875 hours for me!
@overcastfm Well earned! Overcast is basically a system app at this point in my mind. My phone would feel broken without it.
@overcastfm well deserved! After trying many other apps, and occasionally going back to check, I have kept Overcast as my one app I’m happy to support with my yearly subscription. It is money very well spent imho. Thank you, Marco!
@overcastfm how fast did you turn around that art? I wonder if your latest podcast prompted this.
@overcastfm Congrats @marcoarment! Well deserved. I look forward to hearing about the impact on Under the Radar.
@overcastfm well deserved, but could we have a web player? Pretty please?
@Xerxes11 I have a web player! It's not very good, but it exists: https://overcast.fm/
Overcast

Podcast player app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

@overcastfm wow! I’ve had this app since 2009 (I think) and I never knew that.
@Xerxes11 I launched in 2014, but thanks for being such a long-time customer! The web interface has been there since the beginning, and has been equally disappointing ever since.
@overcastfm oh go on! It’s functional, and continues to be functional all these years later, that in itself is a huge achievement 🙌
@overcastfm congrats @marcoarment !! Its great to see Apple feature apps that are considered a competitor to their own.
@kais @overcastfm @marcoarment they’ll feature any app as long as the developer pays the advertising space.

@overcastfm Congratulations!

Do you expect to support episode graphics soon? Like these, in Apple Podcasts:

@overcastfm

Been using it for years. Love it. Switched from Apple's podcast app because, at least at the time, Overcast was far superior, with a lot more features.

@overcastfm

what good is your time savings if you sell my preferences to unscrupulous buyers who know to hike the price on those do-dads I keep hearing referenced in my podcasts?

tell me about your real #privacy policy!

@overcastfm about time! easily one of the best apps on my phone for quite a while now
@overcastfm Looking forward to renewing my subscription this month, thank you for a fantastic app. I'd still love to be able to download an entire feed at once though, only because it takes an eternity with VoiceOver as the focus jumps a lot.
@overcastfm hoorah!
Well deserved Marco. A well honed and polished app. Perhaps the polish is akin to a Nicola Benedetti performance
@overcastfm I've been using Overcast Premium to listen to audiobooks. For podcasts and short books the playback position reliably syncs between my iPhone and Apple Watch. For long audiobooks the playback position never seems to sync between phone and watch. Known issue? Workaround?

@overcastfm "Featured in the App Store!" -- so well-deserved.

Such a fabulous app. Thank you.

Such an excellent approach, outlook, and vision, as described in article "Info for Podcasters" (/podcasterinfo) and in "Contact" (/contact).
