Jason Martin@overcastfm YEAH!! When streaming was removed, I didn't think it would affect me much at all. But I found that it wasn't downloading in the background consistently, so when I wanted to listen to something, I often had to wait for the full download, which depending on the strength of my connection could take a while.
So this change is much appreciated.
sjhaddow@Jasonact @overcastfm Same. I listened to, and agreed with, the rationale but then within days got bitten by it. Was in a patchy area for mobile signal so had to sit in a supermarket car park for 10 minutes while the latest episode of ATP downloaded (it had been available for 12+ hours but hadn’t downloaded in the background), so I could listen on my 2-hour drive home. Deleted Overcast after that, but will happily reinstall now.
