Overcast info, screenshots & reviews Alternatives to Overcast

Overcast is a powerful yet simple iPhone podcast player.

*Smart Speed*

Pick up extra speed without distortion with Smart Speed, which dynamically shortens silences in talk shows.

Conversations still sound so natural that you’ll forget it’s on — until you see how much extra time you’ve saved.

*Voice Boost*

Boost and normalize volume so every show is loud, clear, and at the same volume.

Listen in more places, such as noisy cars, and still hear what everyone says without cranking the volume so high for quiet people that the loud ones blow your ears out.

*Smarter Playlists*

Create show priorities, filters, and sorting rules, or keep it simple with one big list.

You can reorder the list whenever you want, and new episodes are inserted intelligently.

*More Discovery*

Find new shows from your Twitter friends and spread the word about great shows by recommending the best episodes, all without posting anything. No spam or tricks: just spreading good shows.

I've tried many podcast apps on both iOS and Windows Mobile. Overcast is simply the best. It has an easy-to-use, elegant, interface. It takes out silence to save time, and it has a very impressive audio filter to make podcasts easier to hear. I recently switched from iOS to Windows 10 Mobile, and Overcast in the one app that I miss using.

This app is fantastic for all things podcast related. The smart speed feature has saved me 19 hours [separate from speed settings] since I started using it about 2 years ago (you can find this number in settings).

Also voice boost is a must. I listen mostly to podcasts with interviews. Without voice boost it is impossible to hear both parties comfortably in places like the shower or car. Overcast makes listening to these podcasts possible for my routine.

Smart playlists are great. As is the ability to upload your own audio to overcast.fm and integrate non-podcasted audio into the same listening workflow.
