Overcast
Free, simple, award-winning podcast player for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Pick up extra speed without distortion with Smart Speed, which dynamically shortens silences in talk shows. Conversations still sound so natural that you’ll forget it’s on — until you see how much extra time you’ve saved. Boost and normalize volume so every show is loud, clear, and at the same volume. Listen in more places, such as noisy cars, and still hear what everyone says without cranking the volume so high for quiet people that the loud ones blow your ears out. Overcast works with the open, standard world of podcasts with public RSS feeds. Simply add your podcast to Apple Podcasts and it’ll show up here. It’s not a separate platform, and all downloads go directly to your servers

    "Functional, but mediocre features"

    Posted 2023-09-08

    Pros: Easy to find and follow podcasts. Clean graphics and layout. Navigation is fairly intuitive. Basically works.

    Cons: Very hard to set up features for queuing. Very hard to modify and personalize. Hard to set parameters for numbers of downloads, memory used, and so on.

    Overall: On Stitcher it was so easy to get a nice stream of podcasts going, ordered by recency. But Pocket Casts is incredibly hard to modify. I'm a smart person with a PhD and I am sick of wrestling with this app to get it to play my podcasts. Looking for something better and would not recommend this app.

    "Best podcasting app out there"

    Posted 2021-08-15

    Pros: Fantastic user interface that collects and displays my podcasts. Can download for offline use then sort by downloads. WearOS integration.

    Cons: Set to auto-hide completed podcasts, where I would think it makes most sense to auto-grey them out initially.

    Overall: This is the best podcasting app out there. It looks great, works great, and is the go to for podcasting.
