What we need from Apple to make standalone Apple Watch podcast apps

Try using apps like Workflow, Homekit and others. There’s lots of Tim wresting highs to do with the watch. Podcasts are a dusty corner of the portfolio and barely get attention. I’m sure they’ll gobble the function into Apple Music.

I get what Marco is talking about here, but Overcast is already so complex it can barely play a podcast without crashing if interrupted. I don’t need that drama on my watch, where complex stuff either doesn’t work or sucks battery.

Haha. Had I used my Apple Watch, Siri would have been better than autocorrect. :)

do you have a repro? I use overcast extremely heavily and haven't had a crash in a few months.
