Overcast, a popular podcast player for Apple devices<\/a>, is getting an update that brings a major design overhaul to its main screen, as well as a new theming system that lets you pick the colors used throughout the app. For Overcast users like me, the update is a fresh coat of paint to a well-made app, and power users will likely find plenty of new tweaks and settings they can use to make the app work even better for their use case. <\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a>, the app\u2019s developer Marco Arment says that the 2022.2 update, available to download Friday, is \u201cthe largest redesign\u201d the app\u2019s ever gotten, and promises some exciting future updates.<\/p>\n

The changes are obvious from the moment you open the app \u2014 there\u2019s a new Recent carousel, which lets you quickly resume episodes you were listening to and see which podcasts have new episodes (you can even long press on the tiles for more options), and the interface is full of updated icons. Playlists, which live at the top of the screen, have gotten a major overhaul: they now show up as customizable colorful bubbles with icons, rather than grey rectangles like they were before, and you can now make playlists that show you all your queued, starred, downloaded, or in progress episodes. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you want any of those pre-made playlists, you can easily add them to your home screen through the Add Playlist menu \u2014 and if you don\u2019t want them, you can entirely ignore them. (The Add Playlist menu also includes the option to hide and show the recent bar, if you\u2019re not a fan.) <\/p>\n

Below the playlists and the Recent section is your list of podcasts. In the previous design, the home page had sections for Playlists, Podcasts, and Played Podcasts. The latter two have been replaced with a list that lets you switch between three modes: Unplayed, Active, and Inactive. Unplayed shows you podcasts with unplayed episodes, active shows all your followed podcasts, and inactive is for \u201cpodcasts you\u2019re not following and have no added episodes, or seem to be inactive.\u201d (Those podcasts also get a cute little moon icon throughout the UI.) You can also pin shows, which keeps them at the top of the list.<\/p>\n

Beyond the new functionality, the app also just looks<\/em> nicer. I wouldn\u2019t say that Overcast has ever looked bad, but to my eyes the update makes it feel a lot more modern. Arment mentions that he\u2019s updated the typography and spacing of the app, but probably the most exciting thing is the addition of a new theming system. You can keep Overcast\u2019s light-mode orange and dark-mode blue if you want, but I imagine a lot of people will enjoy getting to look through the palate of available colors and select something different \u2014 and yes, you can have different colors for when the app is running in light or dark mode.<\/p>\n

The app lets you choose from 12 different colors, and the one you select will be used for pretty much every button in the interface.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Marco Arment<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

There\u2019s also some minor tweaks, like a redesign of the menu that pops up when you tap on a podcast episode in a playlist. Now there will be a button that lets you mark an episode as played, which Arment says was user\u2019s most requested feature \u201cby far.\u201d You can also mark an episode as played by swiping right on it and tapping the icon.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Friday\u2019s update is focused mainly on making the experience of managing your podcast library better \u2014 once you go to actually play one, the design is going to be largely the same as the previous version, except the theme color you choose will be used throughout. Arment does promise that the now playing and individual podcast screens will be getting their own fresh coat of paint in a future update, though, so there\u2019s something to look forward to.<\/p>\n

After trying out the update for a bit, I\u2019m impressed. In the year or two I\u2019ve been using Overcast, I\u2019ve never really clicked with the playlist or queue system, but the new design makes me want to at least give it a shot. <\/p>\n

And while I haven\u2019t gotten to use it long enough to see how much of a difference some of the bug fixes and background notification improvements will make, I have enjoyed some of the small quality of life tweaks (nitpicky details, as they\u2019re labeled in the Overcast settings menu) as well. I\u2019m excited to see what Arment has in store for the new play screen, since that\u2019s the interface I end up using the most.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
