Latest news
- Nov 21: Overcast has launched a new feature dubbed “Promos and Reruns” that can automatically skip downloading any feed drops or trailer drops. The app also now - finally - displays per-episode artwork, and shows season/episode numbers. The app will soon support transcripts, we understand.
- Oct 13: Marco Arment’s Overcast has released a new beta, with entirely rewritten download code. He notes that “Downloads are becoming increasingly complicated with the prevalence of ad-blocking VPNs and network products.”
- Sep 15: Popular iOS app Overcast has opened a subreddit. “I know almost nothing about Reddit, but I want to learn,” writes Marco Arment.
- Jul 29: They’re already in apps like Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts and Spotify: transcripts might be the next feature to be added to popular iOS app Overcast. John Spurlock has spotted a new tool called “Overcast Transcriber” accessing podcast episodes. (Support for the funding tag would be excellent too, Marco!)
- Jun 10: Apple Podcasts will add a new “enhance dialogue” feature in playback, just like independent apps like Overcast and Pocket Casts have had for some time. The description is “Amplify just the voices in an episode for clearer listening”.
