Currently paying for Overcast, but the recent changes (2-3 months ago?) are just annoying. They removed the ability to arrange items in a playlist (it has to be by date now), OPML export is gone, can't get to a podcast from an episode in a playlist... and so on. All of this was working fine before the update. When something is working well, what is the point in needlessly "improving" it and making it worse? I just don't get it. Gonna switch to Castro, though it costs 2.5 times as Overcast

All of these are fixed in the latest version (possibly just the beta that is about to be released to the store). That includes OPML export (which remained available online but has returned to the app), arranging items (always possible throughout, but there were some new sync bugs that had to be worked out, IIRC), Go To Podcast (click the three buttons, last option in menu) from an episode, etc.

  If I drag/drop and change the order, it gets reset if I add another item to the playlist (this was as of yesterday, don't know if they fixed it in today's release) Haven't checked today. Glad they put OPML back Edit: Just checked the ordering, it seems worse now. About 2-3 months ago (forgot when these features were broken), if I added an episode to a playlist, it will add it at the end of the playlist, the episode date didn't matter. Which I what I liked, as I can reorder the playlist however I want. Now I don't even know what order it is adding - it is no longer by date, neither is it at the end of the playlist.
