Has any of you every tried out RSSRadio? It has a lot of good features, (and
is reasonably accessible; totally once you get the hang of it). It can play
files at up to 2.x, and faster with silence skip enabled. It has some nice
graphic equalisation features, including spoken word, vocal booster, bass,
treble, and a number of music settings.

I have to say I'm not a huge podcast person. I do like Downcast versus
overcast without too much discussion. Downcast is just more responsive and
feature rich. I have to admit that I didn't know about the 2x vs. 3x
issue. Still, I like Downcast.

Hi,
I love how good Overcast sounds at fast speeds. The voice boost feature is
good too; on a podcast I listened to recently, the host apologized for the
disparity in volume between himself and whoever he was talking to on
Skype, but I heard no difference thanks to voice boost. As for getting
podcasts into Overcast, I'm pretty sure Downcast has the ability to export
an OPML feed. You can email this to yourself and open the file in
Overcast.
Best,
Anna

That has been my experience with both Overcast and downcast as well. The
major advantage with Overcast is the faster speed is better quality.
However, I like the feature set for downcast. I use downcast on my iPhone
exclusively having had exposure to both apps I prefer Downcast.
If I want to take my time and listen to a podcast at normal speed I use
the no frills no thrills basic podcast feature in the apple TV which I
dearly hope they improve with the next generation. The iPhone always gets
my podcasts hours before the apple TV does. Another reason I prefer
downcast.

The one advantage I've found with Overcast over Downcast or other
podcasting apps in general is that it can play files at the 3x speed.
Downcast used to be able to do this, but for a while now, once you try to
play something past the 2x speed, the file begins to skip. I've written
the Downcast dev about the skipping issue, but doubt that at this point
it'll ever be addressed.
Other than that, I can't say I'm much of an Overcast fan. There are some
accessibility things I don't like and I find it to be at times sluggish
and limiting. It is true, that Overcast is meant to be a simplified
podcasting app, but I guess I prefer the more detailed settings Downcast
offers.

Subject: Overcast versus downcast
Hi all,
I have a couple of questions about the overcast app. I see it is
accessible, but I tried to import my unplayed episodews from Downcast
into Overcast. I followed their instructions but in downcast, there is no
option to import into Overcast. There were a ton of other apps, but not
Overcast. I rebooted my phone thinking maybe it wasn't recognizing that
app. Still no luck.
The other question I ha ve is that is the Overcast app any better than
DownCast or is it just a matter of preference? So far, I like both of the
apps.
Thank you so much!
Jenn and Kumi
