#DOWNCAST APP UPDATE#
I keep waiting for updates that might fix the issues or better it, but each update is making it worse. When I plug in my headphones and press play it’ll take over a minute for the app to continue and when it does it immediately stops playback after a couple of seconds and I’ll have to return to the app to resume playback. Sometimes it takes minutes to get past the loading screen, app won’t remember episode playback status so It’ll play them again from the beginning, the application will also crash as I skip forward to another episode. unfortunately the app has become almost unusable!Ĭonstantly crashes on start-up, I can’t cast to chrome-cast like anymore because the casting will disconnect randomly and the podcast will play simultaneously on the phone and the Chrome Cast OR it will just stop and the app will crash and I will have to restart. I would gladly pay top price for that.Īmazing organizational options and fantastic customizability for each podcast download and playback settings. I wish I could have Overcast's sound quality merged with Downcast's organization & customization tools. This annoyance alone is what finally forced me to give up on Overcast and return to Downcast. Because I listen to & save episodes from several Podcasts, this made it impossible to tell when a new episode was available without looking at each and every podcast episode list. For example, you have to delete an episode in order for it to be considered "played". Unfortunately that app's organization is horrible. I just spent several months using Overcast and fell in love with its sound quality and easy to read screens.
It can be a little buggy at times, but my only two complaints are difficult to read screens (small text makes quick glances while driving difficult) and poor sound quality, especially at high-speed. Power user features like deciding which episodes to stream and which to download, starting episode later in to skip ads, and especially the ability to save an episode's audio file to the cloud make this my current choice for podcasts. It's always easy to know when you have new episodes waiting. Poor sound quality.ĭowncast is the best for customizing and organizing your feeds. Fix the issue downcast, or I'm staying with overcast. I'm switching to overcast because I can't have this keep happening. I'm on an iPhone 6 with a new battery, not that that was the issue in the first place because you could feel how hot the phone was getting even though it was locked and playing downcast in the background. I can't play podcasts for too long without power connected to the phone, and if I need to be away from an outlet I better not use this app and it better not be on in the background or eat my battery alive. Now however, particularly with the batter drain issue which they claim to have fixed but clearly haven't, is making this app unusable. For a while feature set (queue for download vs queue for stream, chromecast) and better management interface has won over overcast's polish. Overcast's polish has always been much better than anyone's else's but its feature set is weaker than Downcast. I've been using this app on and off for 2~3 years.
