Right, this week, the podcast doesn't seem to make any problems. Whatever was changed, it works now.

Overcast has Smart Speed. That feature cuts down the pauses between words, so if you listen to loads of podcasts, you will save a bunch of time. Other apps may have 1.5x or 2x speed, but that sounds just weird. It has some other neat features as well, I've been using it since day one.

And I rarely have problems, besides with the Bombcast. Speaking of, no matter what I try, it is still messed up. Last episode I had to re-download three times. Being somewhere with WLAN, that's not that annoying, being on the road it is. I won't blow my monthly mobile download contingent on a podcast.

Also, I realised that the Beastcast is kinda messed up as well. It won't show a ridiculous amount of time, it won't spit out weird noises and it won't delete itself. Usually, when I open Overcast, no matter how long it has been closed, it'll open on the last podcast I've been listening to. When I listen to the Beastcast it opens up in the main menu. Then I have to scroll to the Beastcast and hit play. Minor annoyance, but still, something has to be different with those two, every other podcast I listen to works just fine. And I listen to a lot.

Does anyone have those problems listening to the non premium version?

@nnickers: did you check the pinned post here? They changed the way how to subscribe to premium. Before that, I was using some weird method I've found on here. Don't even remember.

@heavymetalwaffle: iOS app here as well. I deleted and resubbed a bunch of times, but the problem is still there.

To listen to the whole podcast, I had to redownload it at least 5 times, super annoying.

I'll try again and kill the app after deleting it.

Oh, and here's the reply from Rorie:

"As far as I know, I haven’t heard of any widespread issues like this lately, and usually I’d hear pretty quick if it’s affecting multiple people. I would check with the Overcast people first and see if they have any issues!"

EDIT: it happened again. :(

Hey!

I'm using www.overcast.fm for listening to podcasts. Everything worked fine until last week. I can download the bombcast just fine and play it fine as well. Now, when I pause it and come back to it later, it'll be just weird noises. When I'm fast enough I can kill the app and restart it, then it'll work again. Sometimes I have to do this again. When I'm not fast enough, the podcast will delete itself and I have to redownload it. This only happens with the bombcast, every other podcast works just fine. Oh, and it's the premium version.

Does anyone else experience the same thing and has a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Stev

Any news on this?

@grelik: sweet! The pinching trick works, thanks for that. Not ideal, but a good workaround.

@jslack: latest iOS (8.3) on the iPad Mini Retina.

Hey everyone

For a couple of weeks now, I have a problem with the video player on iOS on my iPad. The video plays, but that's it. No controls to be found. No way to scrub through the video. Tapping the video itself plays/pauses it.

I have the newest iOS 8 version and the problem occurs in Safari and iCab Mobile. Haven't tried other browsers.

It's only on the iPad though, on my iPhone it works fine. On the iPhone it's the mobile site though, on the iPad it's the desktop version.

Is this a common problem?

Thanks for any help!

Just stumbled over this game like 15 minutes ago and already ordered it. can't wait to mess around with.
