Of the many podcasting apps available for iOS, Overcast on iOS is one of our favorites. Programmed by Instapaper and The Magazine founder Marco Arment, it’s a slick podcasting app with some unique tricks up its sleeves, like smart speed, voice boost, and variable playback speed. We love it. There’s only one problem. It’s been iPhone-only. At least until now.
The latest update of the Overcast Podcast Player brings a bunch of major features to the app: iPad and CarPlay support. That means you not only can enjoy Overcast on your tablet, but if you have a car that supports it, you’re all set.
Here’s what’s new in the latest update according to the official app update notes:
What’s New
Overcast is now universal:
iPad support
Rotation
Carplay
Plus a lot of small improvements and fixes.
Podcast apps are arguably more useful on the iPhone than the iPad, but that in-car support is a huge win for commuters everywhere. Personally, though, I’m still using Castro, my vote fot the most beautiful podcasting app on iOS. What do you think? Should I switch to Overcast? Let me know in the comments.
