Podcast player app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

Free, simple, award-winning podcast player for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Pick up extra speed without distortion with Smart Speed, which dynamically shortens silences in talk shows. Conversations still sound so natural that you’ll forget it’s on — until you see how much extra time you’ve saved. Boost and normalize volume so every show is loud, clear, and at the same volume. Listen in more places, such as noisy cars, and still hear what everyone says without cranking the volume so high for quiet people that the loud ones blow your ears out. Hi, I’m Marco (👋). It’s just me here — no big company or investors. Overcast is a self-funded app that has sustainably succeeded…from overcast.fm
