Voice Boost sounds like something that might be of interest to me. What are
its effects, or where would they be most noticeable? Does the playback speed
set faster, compromise it in any way?

Subject: Re: Transitioning to Overcast from Downcast
Downcast was my primary podcast player for several years, and I tried
Overcast a little over a year ago and now use it as my primary podcast
player.
From what I remember, Downcast only had one feature that Overcast does not,
and that is the capability of actually saving your podcast files.
Now Overcast also has a couple of features that Downcast does not, and that
is the smart speed and voice boost features, which are both very good
features. I know this is only my opinion, but I think Overcast has the best
playback when it comes to playing faster then the normal speed.
Now I would encourage you, if you have not already, check out the settings
screen. 2 important settings there is whether you want to stream or
download the episodes, and what you want to do once you listen to an
episode. I personally download my episodes so I can listen to them no
matter whether I have an internet connection or not, and I choose to
manually delete an episode. That way if I want to keep it afterwards I can.
Now I will tell you that if I keep an episode after I listen to it, it does
still show up under unplayed episodes.
The smart speed and voice boost settings can be found on the playback
screen.
You will also find that Overcast is updated more frequently then downcast.
But at the end of the day, they are both good players, and it is a personal
preference of
which you choose to use.

Steve,
I'm not totally sold on Overcast, just thought I would give it another
shot. I do like the number of rodor actions available on each podcast
episode, more than the same old activate/delete that I saw in
Downcast. I have both and may still use Downcast until Overcast feels
more comfortable.

What made you switch? My only complaint with Downcast so far after using
it for a year or so is that I have a queue with nine stuck downloads I
cannot clear or access. Any thoughts on that one?

Greetings. After the recent flurry of messages praising Overcast, I
thought I would give the app another go. I have been using Downcast
for some time but am open to other options. I do like some of the
effects of Overcast. one thing that I noticed almost immediately in
Overcast, once I had imported my feeds and subscriptions from
Downcast, is that all of my podcasts appear as played. However, I have
not listened to all of them in Downcast, in fact many episodes in
certain podcasts were unplayed. When I looked in Overcast though it
said that there were no unplayed episodes. Does anyone know how I can
have Overcast display unplayed episodes, and keep them unplayed until
I actually listen to them?
Thanks,
Wayne
