Since the SwiftUI rewrite, I have had showstopper problems with Overcast that made me move to Apple's Podcasts app. It's meh, but it plays podcast episodes reliably.
Overcast's streaming is utterly busted. And the UI state gets confused (enabled in UI turns into disabled in functionality, etc)
And it's not just me. :-(

Note that, two of those items that are crossed out are still being experienced by end users.
From listening to him discussing his Overcast rewrite on podcasts, I feel for him. It feels like he's really struggling to make Apple's frameworks work reliably. Moving to SwiftUI might have been the wrong move.
