@overcastfm Any chance of adding some help or guide information? I’ve been a paid user for many years and literally have never been able to make a playlist or get any of this functionality to work. It’s me, not the app, but I just don’t get the model. Would love a function similar to “Play Next” in Apple Music, which does just that, no playlist etc required. Add to Queue seemed like that’s what it would be but isn’t.

@overcastfm

If you manage to return the application to the Russian AppStore, I will definitely leave a review and rating.

I love this attachment and it's my number 1 podcast player. So it's very frustrating that it disappeared like that.

@overcastfm took a couple minutes as the App Store app kept closing the review dialogue, and even crashed on me 😅 So much for the functional highground 😏

@overcastfm can you explain how/when Overcast deletes episodes? I have it set to delete when completed but under Manage Storage I see podcasts with no unplayed episodes listed and using significant space.

@overcastfm Any chance of fixing the watch app. Can’t manually download episodes anymore - pressing the download icon does nothing. Know you’ve send it has a fraction of the users of the main app but to those of us that use it all the time it’s incredibly frustrating.

@overcastfm I really hate refactored Overcast since it broke the order of episodes in the All Episodes playlist and support ignoring email about this bug.

@overcastfm done! Another feature I love (don’t know if it’s new) is resetting the sleep timer by squeezing my AirPods. Really great if I set it to 10 mins and listen with one AirPod in in bed: if I’m still awake and notice it pausing, I can continue for a bit super easily, and that repeats until I actually fall asleep.

@overcastfm My main use case is listening via the watch app when out running (leaving my phone at home).

Not able to download and listen to paid-for Substack podcasts on watch app. This used to be ok but stopped working several months ago.

Watch app shows the paid-for Substack podcast episodes, each with the error message “DOWNLOAD FAILED: NOT AUTHORIZED”.

@overcastfm I wouldn't rate it right now in the app store as that wouldn't be fair. Currently I'd rate it 1 star, whereas the older version would get 5. Unfortunately the latest versions aren't much fun for VoiceOver users, but I know others have already told you this. Just renewed my subscription in hopes for a brighter future.

@overcastfm I changed it to ⭐️ and cancelled my subscription. I had ten happy years with overcast. But since the rewrite it got barely usable and it still is a big mess. Playlist still don’t work correctly, the episode limit first was not enforced and now is working way different… the UI was not a problem for me.

@overcastfm amazing amount of work, any chance of restoring the behaviour of ‘clicking an AirPod after a podcast finishes starts the next one in the queue’ please? I didn’t realise how much I used that until it was gone

@overcastfm Looping playlists! Thank you! I might be able to return to Overcast from Downcast now. If you re-add the missing VO rotor actions on episodes, that'll be even more amazing. There are some nice things in Downcast I'll miss, like playlists showing the number of episodes and moving themselves to a different section if they're empty, but I miss Overcast's silence removal. And Downcast doesn't have the VO actions either, so there's that.

@overcastfm fwiw…

I’m consistently getting episodes marked as played when…

  1. I start streaming

  1. I try to skip past commercials at the start (assuming b/c I’m past where it’s downloaded so far)

If it is a “getting past your download” situation, that makes some sense. I usually stream on cellular b/c I have “download via wifi only” enabled, so these are forced downloads in potentially bad cell service situations.

@overcastfm do those bug fixes include the issues with playlist ordering? Manually moving episodes gets reverted randomly and I see occasional episodes from feeds listed as low-priority/not pinned to top showing at the top of my all podcasts list.

@overcastfm @marcoarment when Voice Control (accessibility feature) is enabled, all of the recent new UI (mainly swipe for show notes/chapters, inline menu on tap in the episode list, recent episode cells at the top of the home screen) turn off. They won't return until Voice Control is turned off, and the app is restarted. Bug or intentional?
