I havenāt seen this problem in overcast myself but the best thing to do would be to hit Send Feedback in the appās settings if youāre having problems. The second best thing would be to ping Marco on Twitter via @overcastfm.
Just checked and my Overcast install seems fine on all devices. All episodes deleted after completion. Maybe you can do an uninstall - reboot - install and see if that fixes it? If not; Iād send Marco a request for help, thatāll probably fix it soon enough
Lately I am having similar problems where it keeps playing a previous podcast despite starting a new one.
The other problem is that Overcast is having a hard time switching to different BT speakers.
I thought this was going to be about the UI issues ā the same pane sliding over twice, buttons to play or view info about an episode not appearing right away, etc. I love the features but something is wrong under the hood.
Listening to Marco on the last couple of episodes of ATP, heās gearing up to do an app rebuild using SwiftUI, but this wonāt be out until winter 2021 at the earliest. However, I can see in TestFlight that heās begun to address some nagging bugs with some regularity (two builds in the last few weeks), so it sounds like help is on the way. Iām not experiencing any of the bugs listed here other than a sluggish Apple Watch app, so I guess Iām luckyā¦
Does it happen for all podcasts, or only for some?
If only for some: can you check the per podcast setting for ādelete episodeā?
That could be set to āmanuallyā or ā24 Hours after completionā, though the latter should then delete them after one day so that seems unlikely.
I have recently switched to Pocket Casts and ditched Overcast with no regrets. Marco Arment is an opinionated developer, and I respect that, but he should take care to be reactive to his support requests and interactions with his customers, which he is really not compared to many other indie houses.
Thank you for that and Iām glad that you specifically mention pocket casts as Iāve been very interested to have a look at that. One of the main reasons is because there is Sonos integration (which there isnāt for overcast) and I would love to be able to push it around my house with less hassle than I do now.
So you recommend pocket casts by the sounds of it?
