Recently saw Overcast mentioned here. Tried it out and it’s exactly what’s needed. Much better than the mess Apple Podcasts has become.

- dangoor 8y agoPlus Smart Speed is fantastic. I can listen to podcasts more quickly without actually speeding up the speech.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI am already nervous that Overcast will add more features/redesigns and add social media until it turns into a mess like most other tools. Seems today's product development paradigm redesigns a project until the initial simplicity is gone.
- dangoor 8y agoOvercast's author, Marco Arment, seems pretty clear in his design approach for Overcast (I listen to Accidental Tech Podcast, on which he's a host). He's pretty resistant to things to don't help the core experience of listening to podcasts. For example, he's put a bunch of time into the basic audio features and making watch playback work well, rather than lots of flashy GUI things.
