The price change goes into effect tomorrow (November 21).

New subscribers from then will pay it.

Existing subscribers will pay it whenever their annual subscription renews next.

New for Overcast Premium:

Listening Stats: See your top podcasts of the year and share these fun images!

48-hour History & Undo: Accidentally seek too far, leave your phone playing, or delete the wrong episode, podcast, or playlist? Just undo!

And after 8 years, I'm finally raising the price to $15/year (previously $10). I try to provide a HUGE surplus of value over time, far greater than what I charge, so when I eventually ask for more, it’s a no-brainer. I hope I’ve achieved that for you. 🧡

(Note that the playlist-order-resetting bugfix only works if ALL of your Overcast devices get the new 2024.10.2 update, so go find that infrequently-used iPad or whatever, and update it too!)

The 2024.10.2 update is out now. It's a little one:

Delays and high error rates on the servers today.

Working on it! Sorry about that.

(Nerd explanation: I made the latest app version’s sync engine a bit TOO aggressive at syncing changes. It was fine during the beta, but at full deployment, it's hammering the servers so much that some are actually saturating their Gigabit ports! Rushing an app update out today to alleviate it.)

Just posted a new TestFlight beta with these updates:

If you'd like to join the TestFlight beta, there's a link in the app, near the bottom of the settings screen. Hop on!

"Move" will remove it from the current playlist.

"Add" copies it.

OPML export will be in the next update. Almost made it into yesterday's, but I wanted to do it better.

The previous app would generate the XML server-side. But what if my servers are all down, or there's some horrible disaster and my back-end service is gone, or you launch a very old version of the app on a very old device that can't communicate with the current API?

The new version will generate the OPML entirely on-device, even if it can't reach my servers.

It's on my list. I tried to do this last week, but ran into a HUGE blocker.

(Nerd explanation: SwiftUI’s .contextMenu doesn't cooperate with content inside of List cells, and that entire root screen is a List, with the Recents area being a cell containing a grid of all of the entries.)

So I need to find a different way to do it, if it's even possible, without a big restructuring. Maybe in a future update!

The new "Include in Playlists" feature on Podcast Settings screens has been one of the most-requested Overcast features of all time. (Really!)

It's a huge time-saver when following a new podcast if you maintain separate playlists for different sets of podcasts.

See the bottom of this screenshot:

Plus a bunch of bug fixes, including:

Finally, the app may now prompt you for ratings. (I held out for 8 years… it's time)

I'm tweaking Episode Limit enforcement again.

In the current version, it will not delete episodes that you've manually added, even when they're past the limit.

By popular demand, in the next update, Episode Limit will ALSO not delete:

This will generate new complaints that it's "not working”. But believe me, the feedback is worse now!

This feature is so hard to align with people's expectations in practice.

No. I think the latest layout makes the most intuitive sense:

I'm still tracking AirPlay bug reports — that setting shouldn't be necessary, but it feels like AirPlay has changed a lot, especially in iOS 18, and I’m still working toward a universal fix.
