New update a huge disappointment

EDIT: custom sleep timer is back (along with lots of other great stuff) and so is my 5-star review. I will leave below what I wrote previously as proof that the developer cares about his users. Thanks Overcast! Especially the changes made to the sleep timer. Before it could be accessed directly from the main screen of an episode but now it's been needlessly pushed down into a submenu. Also, before users were able to choose the number of minutes on the timer freely but now we are left with only five choices. Why would you limit the customizability for users in this way? The fact that you let users do things their own way in the simplest and cleanest possible manner was the reason I always liked your app the most, now you are increasingly starting to look like other generic cluttery podcast apps with little to no user freedom. Very disappointing.

AppleのPodcastsが使いづらくなった人へ

iOS11のPodcastsアプリが使い難くなったので乗り換えました
アプリ内から日本語が含まれるポッドキャストの検索ができなかったので新規開拓には向いてませんが、iTunesのURLリンクで追加できるので聴くものが固定の人にはオススメ
新しいエピソードが来ればプッシュ通知がきちんと届きますし、ダウンロードも早い印象なので文句なしです

iOSポッドキャストアプリが好みに合わないときの選択肢のひとつ

プレイリストを使うことで、購読済みポッドキャストをテーマごとに分類したり、エピソードの再生順を自分好みに設定できる。Voice Boostをオンにすると音声が聞きやすくなり、Smart Speedは音声の空白部分を自動的にスキップして再生時間を短縮する。ただし、日本語の促音もスキップ対象となるため、やや不自然に聞こえることがある。

他にも、エピソードの冒頭・末尾を5秒刻みでスキップし、毎回聞かされる定型的なセリフをカットすることもできる。年1000円のプレミアム登録で、広告バナーを消したり、自前の音源ファイルを登録したりすることも可能。

ただし、iOSのポッドキャストアプリは、iOS 16.4の再生キュー導入により再生順序を好みにコントロールできるようになり、iOS 17.4以降では英語の文字起こしをサポートしており、英語ポッドキャスト聴取の強力な助っ人となっている。そのため、Overcastの優位性はかなり小さくなった。

Overcastはアプリのコードが複雑化したことでしばらく新機能追加が途絶えていたが、リリース10周年に合わせてリリースされたバージョン2024.7で、シンプルでモダンなコードに全面的に書き換え、改良が迅速に行えるようになったとのこと。今後の新機能に期待したい。
