OvercastJul 31, 2024

Update 2024.8 is now in the App Store!

Fixes:
- A bug that sometimes reset episode order in playlists
- A bug that could lose playback progress
- Launching on visionOS
- Siri suggestions for playback
- Siri support for playlists and podcasts by name, e.g. "Play my Queue playlist on Overcast" (now works from HomePods, too)

@overcastfm breaking the “play next” functionality is a big loss and really frustrating this day-1 user. I don’t understand how I get the “play next in queue” option to appear and it is immensely frustrating. This app has always been the easiest to use, and now there are too many steps to replicate prior functions.

@KevinBell @overcastfm I’d like to see this fixed, too - often, when I’m out on walks, I’d finish a (selected) podcast and then just want to listen to whatever was available. A simple click of the AirPods did it. Now, nothing - I have to pull the phone out and do it “the hard way.” (Tongue firmly in cheek as I can remember olden days 😄)

@MichaelPorter @overcastfm I am legit looking at Apple Podcasts as my new player with the frustrations this update brought. Never thought I would say it.

@KevinBell @overcastfm Hang in there, Marco rewrote the entire app… He’ll iron things out.

@KevinBell @MichaelPorter @overcastfm Get ready for a whole new set of frustrations with that app.
