My favorite podcast player – Overcast Review

Amongst all of the podcast apps I've tried, Overcast is the best one for me. Its design clearly comes from a person who also loves podcasts and eats their own dog food with this app. The smart speed feature is amazingly well implemented and is invaluable to someone who listens to a lot of podcasts. The current version is embroiled in controversy over the addition of ads. As a former purchaser of the premium features, I haven't seen the ads yet to know if they're too obtrusive. However, I will argue that this app is fully worth the subscription price to support its continued development and support. And given the realities of the current app development market, I can understand how the ads are necessary for users of the app who aren't willing to pay for the software directly. If what you care about is a high quality podcast app, I don't think you'll find a better alternative today than Overcast.
