New minor update now in the App Store (2025.6):

- Improved background refresh
- Double Tap support in the Apple Watch app to play/pause
- Minor bug fixes

Not an exciting one, but good nonetheless!

@overcastfm Are you ever going to fix the issue with adding non-subscribed, non-priority episodes into priority playlists? They ignore priority and date rules in the playlist and just add to the top. This has been going on 11+ months, since the tenth anniversary update.

@overcastfm great thank you!

Can’t wait to see overcast and liquid glass come together in the fall!

Any update on the AirPlay 2 bugs?

@overcastfm just received a notification of a 50% subscription price increase? No word about that? 😢
@kwyxz @overcastfm That was announced last year, along with the reasons.
@overcastfm I’m really hoping it fixes the watch sync issues so that I can change my App Store review from a five star ā€œcould be betterā€ review to a five star ā€couldn’t be betterā€ review.
@overcastfm Not an exciting one?
Did you not write "Double Tap support in the Apple Watch app to play/pause"?
This is awesome!
@overcastfm Is the longstanding bug that’s been present since last July wherein the Home Screen widget doesn’t display podcast art for automatically downloaded episodes without an app force-quit ever going to be fixed? At this point my assumption is this bug is never going to be fixed as it’s been reported with every update via multiple channels with zero response (which also makes me šŸ™„ when I hear complaints on ATP about Apple bugs never being fixed and Apple never responding to bug reports).
@overcastfm Home Screen widget still not working properly on iPhone 16 Pro Max either. Since the widget is continuously visible on my home screen it has been a constant reminder since last July that the app has outstanding bugs that are still yet to be addressed. Also reported via Test Flight feedback.
@overcastfm Double Tap support? Yes, thanks! This was one of my main wishlist items for the app. I’m happy it’s finally a thing. šŸ™‚
@overcastfm Finally! The Apple Watch sync has been pretty bad for me since last update.
@overcastfm love Double Tap support
@overcastfm Syncing between devices seems broken in this release (?) I updated my iPhone and iPad to this version of Overcast. Overcast data no longer synced between the two. I tried doing a ā€œrefresh all dataā€ on my iPad; that didn’t do anything. I deleted all Overcast data from both devices and fully deleted the Overcast app from my iPad. I set up everything on my phone again. I reinstalled on my iPad and Overcast doesn’t even see any profile available; it gives me the screen to log in or add.
@overcastfm this broke sync between iPhone and iPad for me. Both on latest non-beta iOS versions and post Overcast updates on both
@overcastfm Thanks! Just noticed I had totally forgotten double tap existed.
@overcastfm Why when I try to download some podcasts I’m getting a ā€œno space leftā€ warning when I have nearly 800 GB of free space available on my iPad Pro? Also reported via Test Flight feedback.
@overcastfm This update has completely broken syncing between iPhone and iPad. Also reported via Test Flight feedback.
@overcastfm maybe forget about the opacity in the latest iOS beta for a moment and check out the syncing in overcast … it’s broken.
@overcastfm unfortunately sync between devices seems broken
@overcastfm ipad syncing and iPhone syncing completely broken for me.
@overcastfm "...but good nonetheless!" Well, I can't agree. I couldn't care less about double tap support. But I care much about syncing, and something in the release broke that completely. As many other reported as well.

@overcastfm This seems to have broken syncing between my Apple Watch and iPhone. Latest episode of @atpfm has 24 minutes left on my watch but on the iPhone, it's still unplayed.

Also, a few episodes of another podcast show "Download Failed"

Both of the above conditions remain even after overnight on chargers for both devices.
