Great app, chill about ads, needs more integration with other apps – Overcast Review

First of all this is the one of the best podcast apps and certainly the one to get if you are interested in a fairly clean design, audio performance, interested in reducing the time needed to listen to podcasts. This is my most used podcasting app because the combination of smart speed and voice boost just cuts down the time listening to podcasts. VoiceBoost2 raises the bar again. Once again Marco prioritizes audio performance above most features. Also he has added the ability to trim the beginning and ends of podcasts which can save you 5-10% of podcast duration. So what left for Marco to improve? 1) add an alphabetical sort as an option to the date sorts. Most responsible podcasts make sure that their podcasts have episode numbers and this would 2) have a keyword exclude from the title or description for podcast For example “rebroadcast” is one I've used with other podcast apps 3) a better way to add non-podcasts to overcast is what I most want. The current method is clunky involving the web version and doesn’t always see to easily get rid of podcasts you’ve played. I’d like to see support for the share sheet to send a mp3 to Overcast. iCatcher and PocketCasts support this function I have purchased the premium account. To be frank the model of ad supported/subscription is probably how every iOS centric app is going to go because only that model gives an incentive for the developer to keep improving their app while at the same time keeping the bar low enough for new users.
