Wayne, good point. What’s cool about Overcast is that the syncing from one device to another is awesome. Better than the native podcast app in my opinion, because when I delete a podcast on my phone, the episode gets deleted on my iPad. In the native app, however I have to go remove the download off of my iPad which gets really annoying.

I've been using Downcast for several years and love it. Occasionally I experience bugs, but I haven't really had any major issues with it.
