A surprisingly big undertaking, but it&#39;s finally here.<br/><br/>Check it out in the App Store today. 2025-11-21T19:53:13Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspjll8kpj4v2jt3jed3n4fjqzr27lez55wt0n0f2tlslk4mnpha6qzyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdy4a9zmx Version 2025.11 is now in the App Store! Major changes:<br/><br/>- Brand new downloader for more reliable downloads<br/><br/>- Better streaming, especially in slow or spotty network conditions (it won&#39;t kick you out and make you start over on failures anymore)<br/><br/>- Improved Apple Watch background sync and downloads<br/><br/>- Detects if your ad-blocking router, VPN, or DNS is blocking a download and tells you how to fix it<br/><br/>It’s one of those updates with zero new features… but huge upgrades to everyday functionality. 2025-10-21T18:43:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstv08t5zust7c7x86yujqpk6ru0g9u6tsf803w00mdnq4cykeswwqzyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdyhrjjy4 After installing yesterday&#39;s update (2025.7), if your changes didn&#39;t sync from the last few days, go to:<br/><br/>- Overcast&#39;s settings<br/>- Sync Profile<br/>- Refresh All Data 2025-07-10T12:57:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdl4rrrtu2g0nuec0gm2rhq26lvg787ek80pja0l5g3kmh409ym4qzyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdynx7chw Big 2025.5 update in the App Store today!<br/><br/>- Completely rewrote the Watch app! MUCH faster and more reliable, and should eliminate MANY sync bugs.<br/><br/>- Disabled Lock Screen time-scrubbing by default to reduce accidental seeks (previously in Nitpicky, now in regular settings)<br/><br/>- Chapter rows no longer accidentally activate while scrolling<br/><br/>- Fixed universal links, CarPlay blank screens, certain audio conditions, playlist-reordering bugs<br/><br/>(And opened a restaurant on Fire Island in the meantime. 😉) 2025-05-20T13:46:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0fctmnrqfzs0d5u3vtg5weky4w9ymu42k2na9j6h4xpvl42sd43szyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdy00hgph Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.<br/><br/>I&#39;m thankful for you. 🧡 2024-11-28T16:26:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsft6mhv2hgfje7zn9c320eajasgtgwk9607pedwxgcvr0wsx3w2hszyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdy7me5z0 Thanks! Honestly, me too. I&#39;d rather see Premium at $20–30/year.<br/><br/>App Store subscriptions can be raised by up to $5/year, once per year, and have all existing subscribers opted IN by default. Raise it by more than that, and everyone is opted OUT by default.<br/><br/>(Apple sends a notification email either way.)<br/><br/>I’ll see how subscriptions go with this change from $10 to $15, but if nothing truly disastrous happens, I may raise it by another $5 next year, then see where we&#39;re at.<br/><a href="https://esq.social/@andrew/113516236311199112">https://esq.social/@andrew/113516236311199112</a> 2024-11-20T22:52:48Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyjfxv6jm7682e7qt4ypt6vz2g2c769q33xtnt44zyuathh2h2w9czyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdy4rkqfw The price change goes into effect tomorrow (November 21).<br/><br/>New subscribers from then will pay it.<br/><br/>Existing subscribers will pay it whenever their annual subscription renews next.<br/><a href="https://mastodon.social/@MrMattFree/113516208614772105">https://mastodon.social/@MrMattFree/113516208614772105</a> 2024-11-20T16:28:13Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs08np8ce639t5fetlq4lex3etr58anqnd560lenlw36g0jzt6ppsszyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdyvypr3x New for Overcast Premium:<br/><br/>Listening Stats: See your top podcasts of the year and share these fun images!<br/><br/>48-hour History &amp; Undo: Accidentally seek too far, leave your phone playing, or delete the wrong episode, podcast, or playlist? Just undo!<br/><br/>And after 8 years, I&#39;m finally raising the price to $15/year (previously $10). I try to provide a HUGE surplus of value over time, far greater than what I charge, so when I eventually ask for more, it’s a no-brainer. I hope I’ve achieved that for you. 🧡<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/516/180/140/272/882/original/005f603c068bc799.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-11-20T16:17:33Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspln6q2ghenxndu5eg534wv7umq8trrcq34p6278zap53mzjdpleqzyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdypdchdm OPML export will be in the next update. Almost made it into yesterday&#39;s, but I wanted to do it better.<br/><br/>The previous app would generate the XML server-side. But what if my servers are all down, or there&#39;s some horrible disaster and my back-end service is gone, or you launch a very old version of the app on a very old device that can&#39;t communicate with the current API?<br/><br/>The new version will generate the OPML entirely on-device, even if it can&#39;t reach my servers.<br/><a href="https://hci.social/@tod/113194213129170569">https://hci.social/@tod/113194213129170569</a> 2024-09-25T18:28:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszjums0s343snts0mnpr9cv0dte3xcxyrgg9w2dt4kugspk74eu6gzyplyeea4t8tgmt9nf9pu998lka7e89zgj7vmewwrtfua8wg6xqqdyag423t My 2024.9 update is out, and swiping is back on the now-playing screen!<br/><br/>Swipe between the artwork page and the new chapters/info combo page.
