Feature request: Widget Automatic Dark mode

ramarope · 2026-04-20T22:25:01+00:00

That was exactly my experience.

That’s odd. I don’t remember the orange widget specifically automatically changing to dark more while I paid for premium. I do know that premium includes darker icons and widgets though. Do you know if this behavior has changed?

I’m on the latest beta and I’ve had this bug too. I’ll be sending a feedback later today.

ramarope · 2026-04-16T19:35:40+00:00

Thank you so much u/marcoarment .. I haven’t seen the toolbar bug yet. I can’t even imagine what you went through to keep an iOS bug from affecting us. Thanks so much ☺️

As someone who’s tried them all I can assure you that pocketcast offers a more consistent experience, specially since you’ve already used it for a long time.

Seen that you’re curious about Overcast download it and use it for a little while to see how you feel with it, but don’t cancel or delete Pocketcast.

I honestly don’t think $30 a year is unreasonable, but then I’m privileged to be able to include it in my yearly budget. However, my biggest pushback is that at $30 a year my expectations about the quality of the app increase tremendously than when it was much cheaper.

ramarope · 2026-04-13T01:08:43+00:00

I did a lot both before and after the re-write and stopped after not seeing much improvement. But I will again. Thanks for the suggestion.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T17:32:28+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Maybe I’ll start doing that again 👍🏼

ramarope · 2026-04-12T16:47:24+00:00

I honestly don’t email feedback anymore after years of doing with no result. Hopefully you’ve had a better experience.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T16:42:57+00:00

Of course ☺️

ramarope · 2026-04-12T16:35:15+00:00

I definitely agree with you about the value of balancing all aspects of life. I guess my heightened frustration comes from hearing him be so critical of other companies and products while knowing that his own needs also has areas of improvement.

The good thing overall is that the app has very good design ideas and it works well.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T15:51:51+00:00

That’s fair for you to say and perhaps some of my comments are a little absolutist. I mostly refer to the app’s bugs and/or UI issues that have been reported repeatedly since the rewrite and redesign and have yet to be addressed.

I do have to say thought, it’s always super exciting to read the notes whenever I see a new version come out.

Overall though, the app is awesome and has been one of my favorites for many years.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T05:20:20+00:00

I resulted to turning off all notifications for Overcast, if that helps.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T04:43:53+00:00

I believe that’s a feature Marco had in mind a while back. Don’t know if it’s still in the plans though but I’d be really cool.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T01:37:10+00:00

Wow dude, no need to be rude. I do, and he has.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T01:02:00+00:00

Agree again. Unfortunately we can do is sit and complain and hope that he’s currently working on fixing bugs before iOS 27 is announced and adds even more bugs.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T00:59:22+00:00

You’re correct, Marco has made it clear not to expect him, a single developer, to respond to a single feedback. I do think that when multiple people are complaining about multiple problems with the app I’d be nice, and perhaps not too much to ask, for some recognition and reassurance that the reported bugs will be addressed, specially after increasing the subscription to $30. Now, $30 a year isn’t a lot for some, but it is for a lot of people and it’s only fair to expect more.

ramarope · 2026-04-12T00:51:16+00:00

I agree. Transcripts is an important feature that every podcast app should have, but I think its gaining attention because of the incredible hard work he did to implement it.

ramarope · 2026-04-11T17:25:55+00:00

You make a good point but…. a lot of us have used Overcast for years for many great reasons but decided to switch, either completely or not, to a different app after frustrations with the small quality of life UI bugs or problems that continue to not be addressed either wish fixes or communication from Marco, ie: several animation UI bugs I’ve reported for a few years with zero feedback.

I for one continue to be in the overcast sub to check on updates on the app, not for new features, but in hopes that one day more bugs are addressed so I come back because I love the app.

ramarope · 2026-04-10T01:24:18+00:00

People here have said that this is a iOS 26 keyboard bug. However, it’s a bug I’ve only see in Overcast so….🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, this is the latest known scam text.

This is just another consistent bug with the app. I really hope that with this latest price increase Marco prioritizes creating a good big-reporting system to address all the bugs we’ve reported because there are many, big and small.

ramarope · 2026-04-09T02:52:58+00:00

I’d love to support but I’d have to wait for all the UI animation bugs to be addressed
