@overcastfm holy heck Overcast is faster now! It needs a 6th gear in the gearshift.
Thoughts
1. The app startup speed is significantly faster. My thumb is barely off the app icon after starting Overcast and it’s ready to go
2. The added Starred playlist is something I’ve wanted for a long time. It beats making my own playlist.
3. The current downloaded podcast episodes at top of main page is easily navigated and looks fantastic!
4. Did I mention the speed of operations of Overcast?
Yes, there is some new muscle memory needed but I don’t often change settings so it’s a non-issue for me.
I like the layout, the playlist addition down to episode selection option along with high priority. ATP must go first every time a new episode drops.
Marco, your hard work over the last 18 months has been time well spent and I appreciate the effort. I’m glad you’re staying with Overcast.
@overcastfm I have encountered a few issues
1. The banner on the app shows seven episodes but I have none. I’ve refreshed with the server twice.
2. In the current podcast filter it shows the three podcasts that I used to download episodes then delete as a test but they shouldn’t be there
3. The playlist icons used to turn grey when they were out of episodes. Now I have to check each playlist separately to look for new episodes or use all episodes playlist which also doesn’t turn grey.
@overcastfm I deleted and redownloaded the Overcsst app and watched the Syncing bar. That seems to have fixed the banner and current list of active podcasts with episodes available.
Ok. My nitpick is the playlists themselves show should some indication if a new episode is in that playlist. I liked that the playlist color greyed out when there were no episodes. Good simple indicator.
