Overcast

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. 🧡

@overcastfm absolutely worth it to me. Keep up the good work <3

@overcastfm 48-hour History & Undo - this is awesome! I have wanted this since forever.

@overcastfm @marcoarment ah amazing! Also still very much worth the cost

@overcastfm Give me two things. Just two things: One: Do not let the screen lock if I leave overcast playing and it's in the foreground. Two: Find out why certain items I upload never delete! (including when I try to swipe to delete). They just stay there in the interface (web and iOS)!

@jgobble @overcastfm totally agree about keeping the screen awake! Really important to me.

@overcastfm The History feature is the best feature ever and something I've been wanting for years.

Also, I'm happy to pay the increased subscription price for an app I use every day.

@overcastfm Updated the app (2024.11.1) and it still shows $9.99. Did you not change it for legacy supporters?

@overcastfm Also, when I hit Overcast Premium or Listening Stats the subscription card appears for a fraction of a second then I am dumped back to the now playing screen. Bug for Legacy members?

@MrMattFree @overcastfm same! I assumed this was a SwiftUI bug. I ran into something similar when attaching sheets to list items rather than the whole list.

@overcastfm totally worth it!

While I’m here, I’m seeing doubles of some podcasts. Is that maybe from a change in the feed URL I was subscribed to?

@justinhiltz @overcastfm great, now I have the Blaaaaank Cheeeeeeck theme stuck in my head. 😂

@justinhiltz @overcastfm I’m having the same issue! Did you ever get an answer from @marcoarment? I thought the update might fix it but mine are still janky.

@overcastfm $15 is excessively reasonable given the quality of this app

@overcastfm This looks great. One possible bug I saw, when I click on “Overcast Premium”, the upsell panel appears and then disappears within a few milliseconds.

@overcastfm Is it possible to get a variety of app icons, including some holiday ones? That might be the thing that gets me to switch back Pocket Casts

@overcastfm very much appreciated!

Report: I noticed two podcasts showing up twice for 2024 (they don’t for 2023).
I can see ATP twice when looking at July 2024, Hospital Records doesn’t show up twice in month view. For July, it also tells me that there is incomplete data.

@sense @overcastfm +1, I’m also getting duplicate podcasts. I see ATP showing up twice.

@overcastfm When I try to open the subscription page, it just auto closes.
🤷🏻‍♂️

@Mpwg @overcastfm I was able to work around this by going to “About Your Legacy Purchase” and choosing “Upgrade to Overcast Premium”

@overcastfm I’m not sure how I feel about this feature. I may listen to podcasts way too much.

@overcastfm going to settings then overcast premium doesn’t load the view it dismisses it. Maybe a bug with legacy purchase people.

@matthewpoplin I was able to work around this by going to “About Your Legacy Purchase” and choosing “Upgrade to Overcast Premium”

@matthewpoplin @overcastfm It seems to work if you go to “About Your Legacy Purchase” and then “Upgrade to Overcast Premium” instead.

@overcastfm definitely worth the money Marco! Any update on the aurplay 2 bugs?

@overcastfm @marcoarment

FWIW I think $15/year is too low based on the features you've added and the rewrite.

@overcastfm Would you consider adding Family Sharing to Premium?

@overcastfm these are great features, thank you. I'd love it if you fixed Airplay 2 next. This causes me pain daily.

@overcastfm 😵‍💫 that’s a lot of hours!

(also, please add the image description to the shared image automatically!)

@avakining Do you know how to do that? Is there some widely-supported standard to embed image-description text inside the EXIF or something?

@overcastfm From what I can tell, the official EXIF options are `Exif.Image.ImageDescription` and `Exif.Photo.UserComment`. I think Apple Photos uses the latter, as in many apps copying an image with a comment from Photos adds the comment as the ID.

@avakining Oh cool, I didn't know about these. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

@overcastfm I would Pay 50$ a year I could again start the next podcast by clicking my AirPod. Please fix this bug :(((((

@overcastfm @marcoarment The premium subscription window seems to immediately dismiss on this version. Legacy subscriber here trying to upgrade :)

@overcastfm Apprently i spend > 8% of all time listening to podcasts…

@overcastfm got to be a bug right? 63hrs in 1 day?

@overcastfm Great work. I am totally fine with 15 Euro. 👍

@overcastfm someone’s been double dipping 😄 looks like a little glitch here: ATP listed twice.

@overcastfm already has many times over so I switched to the $20 option before my last renewal! keep on cranking

@overcastfm I love the stats screen! This is super niche request but any way to add podcasts together for stats purposes? I have listening time on both the ATP unedited stream and my member feed. Would love those numbers together so you all are my number 1 listened to show 😬

@overcastfm I would subscribe - even on Android :-}

@overcastfm Very cool! Are the listening hours based on wall-clock hours or podcast duration? That is, how are Smart Speed or playback speed adjustments taken into account?

@connor_g @overcastfm In the stats section you can toggle between "listening time" and "episode length"

@overcastfm @marcoarment

It recent weeks I’ve stopped listening to all political podcasts (for obvious reasons) so there will be three slots up for grabs next year.
