Amaya Toman Every day, in this column, we will bring you a more detailed look at a selected application that has just caught our attention. Here you will find applications for productivity, creativity, utilities, but also games. It won't always be the hottest news, our goal is primarily to highlight apps that we think are worth paying attention to. Today we're going to introduce you to Overcast, an app for playing and managing podcasts.

Do you like listening to podcasts? Then you surely know that not only the native iOS application Podcasts or the streaming service Spotify are great for this, but also a number of other applications. In one of the previous parts of our series, we introduced you to the application Castro, today we will talk about the no less popular Overcast.
Overcast stands out for its simplicity and at the same time great performance and functions for improving playback, control and sound. If you are switching to Overcast from another application, you can transfer all your data to it in practically no time. The app offers a link to Twitter, so you can get podcast recommendations from people you're connected to on Twitter.

Of course, it is possible to download podcasts for offline listening, wide options for browsing and discovering new podcasts, support for dark mode or the ability to create your own playlists. Overcast offers 3D Touch support, allows you to adjust the playback speed, set a timer to stop playback or, for example, the Voice Boost function to improve sound and volume.
The application also eliminates the need to add entire podcasts to your library - you can add individual episodes without having to subscribe to the podcast. Overcast also offers an Apple Watch variant and CarPlay support. You can also enjoy the free version of Overcast very well if you don't mind ads much. For 229 crowns per year, you get an application without ads.
Switching to the Premium version without ads will cost you 229/year.
