Special playlists for Starred, Downloaded, and In Progress can now be created. The second-most-requested feature is a way to view all starred episodes.That’s now available as a checkmark button on episode rows, as well as a left-side swipe action. By far, Overcast’s most-requested feature is a Mark as Played feature.
I’ve also added highly demanded features: Here, it’s more apparent that I’ve replaced the system San Francisco font with an alternate variant, San Francisco Rounded, to increase legibility and better match the personality of the app. Playlist screen, before (left) and after (right). The playlist screen’s structure remains mostly the same, while refining the design for the modern era: Now, the toggle atop the podcast list switches between three modes: podcasts with current episodes, all followed podcasts, and inactive podcasts (those that you don’t follow and therefore won’t get any more episodes from, or haven’t posted a new episode in a long time). I’ve also rethought the old stacked “Podcasts” and “Played Podcasts” sections to better match people’s needs and expectations. Pinned podcasts can also be manually reordered with drag-and-drop. Podcasts can now be pinned to the top of the home-screen list. Recently played and newly published episodes can now be displayed on the home screen for quick access, much like the widget and CarPlay experience.Each playlist has a customizable color, and a custom icon can be selected from over 3,000 SF Symbols to match modern iOS design and the other icons within Overcast.Īnd playlists can be manually reordered with drag-and-drop. Playlists now have strong visual identities for nicer and easier navigation. Home screen, before (left) and after (right). (I plan to revamp the now-playing and individual-podcast screens in a later update.) I’m pretty proud of this one.įor this first and largest phase of the redesign, I focused on the home screen, playlist screen, typography, and spacing. Overcast’s latest update (2022.2) brings the largest redesign in its nearly-eight-year history, plus many of the most frequently requested features and lots of under-the-hood improvements.
