I never got the fanaticism around Overcast. This is better than the previous iteration, but meh.
I also find Marco's aversion to Chromecast because the API is closed source to be rather 🙄-worthy.

@mattahorton I do agree. It's a decent app, but in no way outstanding. The Chromecast stance has been a long-standing deal killer for me, especially now that Google Home is in the market.

@mattahorton It's purpose-built podcast listener. I haven't found anything comparable. What do you use?

@cancom10 I use Pocket Casts. I think it's better as a matter of preference, but I also think Overcast and Pocket Casts sit above the rest.

@mattahorton I used to be a frequent user of Overcast but it never clicked to me. Then I found Castro, I like it much better than Overcast. It's been my favourite Podcast player for a while now.

@andreasduess Same with me. Chromecast support would make it perfect. Although I discovered an iOS app which lets you cast audio from any app including Overcast.

@cancom10 @mattahorton I've been trying it but haven't found that 'purpose' of the purpose built to click for me yet. What do you find the purpose that resonates with you? The biggest gripe about Apple's Podcasts app is viewing descriptions sucks and you can't do it without accidentally starting the podcast. What makes you seek out another app?

@cancom10 @mattahorton Pocket Casts FTW. And they go to great lengths to keep their android app just as good as their iOS app which I appreciate since I change platforms almost yearly.

@mattahorton same. I use Pocket Casts, because they support Chromecast and a bunch of other things.

@tuancm @mattahorton Castro has the best interface of any iOS app I've ever used. They should hire the guy to redesign iOS, no joke.
