The Best Podcast App I have been a longtime user of Overcast, and the app continues to be one of my favorite iOS applications. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, in exactly the ways I want to be able to do it. Marco diligently works to surprise and delight. The app provides ample opportunities for customization for every podcast, and enables the user to make changes to those settings and customizations from all of the places you might be thinking about them: both the main app settings and within the individual podcast screens. Overcast provides a fabulous listening experience, between smart speed, voice boost, extremely granular playback speed controls, and smart resume (plus the new and extremely excellent ability to "go back" when you have scrubbed to a different spot in the playback - something that endlessly frustrates me with other apps given the way playback works on iOS). Managing podcasts and subscriptions is also incredibly simple, even when those subscriptions are private/premium subscriptions. Frankly, Overcast may be the perfect iOS app, and with the recent app re-write is positioned to continue to refine and improve itself and maintain that position on my personal list of apps indefinitely.
