I wish I could have Overcast's sound quality merged with Downcast's organization & customization tools. This annoyance alone is what finally forced me to give up on Overcast and return to Downcast. Because I listen to & save episodes from several Podcasts, this made it impossible to tell when a new episode was available without looking at each and every podcast episode list. For example, you have to delete an episode in order for it to be considered "played". Unfortunately that app's organization is horrible. I just spent several months using Overcast and fell in love with its sound quality and easy to read screens. It can be a little buggy at times, but my only two complaints are difficult to read screens (small text makes quick glances while driving difficult) and poor sound quality, especially at high-speed. Power user features like deciding which episodes to stream and which to download, starting episode later in to skip ads, and especially the ability to save an episode's audio file to the cloud make this my current choice for podcasts. It's always easy to know when you have new episodes waiting. Poor sound quality.ĭowncast is the best for customizing and organizing your feeds. I like to listen when I’m doing other things, often with my hands, and it is annoying to interrupt my flow repeatedly to search for and start the next episode I want to hear. It seems like such a simple thing to be able to string together a queue of episodes to play in desired sequence without having to stop and hunt for a new episode to play after the one I’m listening to ends. The lack of such a simple convenience mystifies me. Currently, I have no way to note or designate what I want to listen to next in the app - the best I can do is note what podcast and episode to play next in Notes or jot it down. I would like to be able to instruct the app to play any episode NEXT while I’m listening, thus building a queue of various episodes to play from different podcasts based on what I am most interested in hearing.
Downcast podcast update#
I go through my new episodes every time I update looking for new episodes and decide which ones I might be actually interested in hearing. I subscribe to WAY more podcasts than I can actually listen to, and I seldom listen to every episode of any podcast.
