I tried 5 apps, Overcast takes the cake – Overcast Review

Just the best podcast app out there and a great deal - no features are locked behind premium (except no ads). It also won’t sell your data! There are so many ways to customize your experience - create playlists, skip intros & outros, go up to 3x speed, set custom speeds for each podcast, none of which Apple podcasts will let you do - plus constant useful updates that are free for all users. The smart speed, the touch of humor in toolbar explanations, the simple, clean, and intuitive design - and my favorite feature, that I am now mad at all other apps for not having: the smart rewind when you pause - these are small joys that make me use Overcast every day. And all this for a great deal. When my iphone's lightning port broke, causing podcast episodes to suddenly skip around in the middle of listening, all I had to do was turn off remote skip in the highly customizable settings. Problem solved! Thanks to Overcast I listen to podcasts much more than I used to when I was using Apple podcasts. (Initially, I switched when I heard of Overcast's playlist and 3x features.) I’m so glad I moved to a better app and I’m never going back. Never written a review before but I couldn’t hold back. Just ... take my $10 for premium to support development. Stay excellent!
