mixed feelings
JL Reviews
I really like the app and like to support the developer. That said, I'm not happy with the new subscription model. Was there no way to poll users for different options, like one time fee, $1 / mo, or other alternatives? The ads are there now and really destroy the aesthetics of the app. The tiny "play" "x" buttons on the upper right corner are so ugly and incredibly hard to tap on. Sad compromise that feels insufficiently thought through.
Best podcast app

Everything you would ever need in a podcast app. Ads are fine people. If it bothers you too much $10/year is a small price to pay.
Great podcast client

I love using Overcast to listen to podcasts. I am an avid podcast listener, dozens of subscriptions, and love smart speed (saved me 461 hours so far). Keep up the great work!
Worth Every Cent or Eye Scorching Ad View!

I use Overcast for literally more time each day than I end up using my own feet, so when I saw that it had added banner ads and the option to remove them for only $10/year, I jumped at the chance to upgrade to "Overcast Premium" as it's all too often that great apps disappear or stop working due to lack of funding. Overcast is hands-down the best podcasting app available int he app store - it's designed well, runs well, and includes the amazing "Smart Speed" setting that turns every podcaster into a Gilmore Girl by removing some of the silence between words which is a much more pleasant speed bosting experience than just playing the audio faster as most podcasts do. Audible needs to license this technology so I can burn through audiobooks as fast as I do podcasts. Seeing a banner ad is literally the worst thing that could happen to anybody anywhere and I can only assume that the folks who are complaining about them didn't see the option to upgrade to Overcast Premium which is a steal at twice the price.
Great podcast player

Been using this player for years, and probably listen to a dozen hours of podcasts a week with it. Awesome features, intuitive interface. If you don't like the ads, you can pay for it :p
Simply the Best

I tell everyone that they need to get this app if they love podcasts. Marco really hit it out of the park. I would encourage anyone who is upset about ads to read the developers article on Marco.org. Development takes time and money. .
Hands down the best podcast player on ios

Tried a lot. This is the one. Cares about podcasts and the ecosystem.
Best podcast app ever.

Trust me. I've used all sorts, and Smart Speed is amazing by itself, and when combined with everything else, it's great.
