    Thanks for bearing with me (and the parade of updates) while I figured these out. Just in time for WWDC and the start of iOS beta season!

    Remember that crashes graph from a couple of weeks ago? Here’s the latest from 3.1.6: (dips are weekends, vertical gray lines are updates)

  4. May 25

    3.1.6 is now in the App Store, fixing Watch transfers and gaps in very-high-speed playback, and adding new 2.5X and 3X speed options.

  5. May 22

    If you've ever asked for higher speeds (3X+), here's a sample running at 2X, 3X, and 3.5X. Now that you've heard it, do you still want it?

    The Springboard fix was so urgent that a couple of new bugs got through. Will ship a fix in a day or two (after more testing this time).

  7. May 21

    The 3.1.5 update is now live in the App Store (that was fast!) that fixes Springboard crashes (where your phone appears to reboot quickly).

    I strongly believe that I found it. Fix submitted to Apple. I don’t think they approve apps on Sundays anymore, so probably out by Tuesday.

    These are VERY hard to find, but I’m working on it. Here’s crashes reported by Apple, graphed (valleys are weekends, gray bars are updates):

    Many reports of Springboard crashes (black screen with spinner, iPhone crashes to lock screen). Sorry — I’ve been heavily investigating.

    Overcast 3.1.4 is out, fixing background crashes and improving playback of certain podcasts (including recent episodes of ).

  12. May 12

    Overcast 3.1.3 is now in the App Store, fixing the failed-downloads bug and other minor bugs.

  13. May 4

    Downloads fail more often in 3.1.2 due to a tiny change I made to try to track down a crash. I’ll revert it in the next version, sorry!

    FAQ: Why is dark mode a different font? A: It’s a design choice. I think San Francisco is better on dark and Concourse is better on light.

    Major thanks to for light-switch-gesture help, and for Watch help.

  16. Apr 27

    3.1.2 is now available, with major Watch improvements, bug fixes, and a -like two-finger “light switch” gesture for the dark theme.

    I don’t see a lot of demand or need for an Apple TV app, and I use mine every day. Makes more sense for video apps and games, I think.

    The web player now responds to spacebar (play/pause) and left/right arrow keys (seek), matching the iPad app’s keys. (thanks, )

    I’m working to adapt my decoder to be more resilient to such issues. (Tip for ad-insertion people: MP3s specify length in multiple places!)

    Most big publishers use dynamic ad insertion now, but the tech is VERY young, often making invalid files that break decoders in weird ways.
