Overcast's latest update (2022.2) brings the largest redesign in its nearly-eight-year history, plus many of the most frequently requested features and lots of under-the-hood improvements. I'm pretty proud of this one.
For this first and largest phase of the redesign, I focused on the home screen, playlist screen, typography, and spacing. (I plan to revamp the now-playing and individual-podcast screens in a later update.)
The app looks nicer and feels faster, I've been using overcast since it was first released way back in 2014 for all my podcast listening and this update is impressive.
