Apple is huge and as a result, often appears to be content with the basics in anything they view as non-critical consumer-facing software. Years ago, when I first encountered Instapaper - also his invention - I remember thinking “whoever came up with this is a genius.” All these years later, I’m still of the same opinion. Marco Arment, the developer of Overcast, seems acutely conscious of what it takes to design and test a truly intuitive and complete user interface, and as a result his app is an absolute joy to use. I prefer the aesthetics of Apple’s podcast player, but functionally speaking, Overcast is an order of magnitude better in almost all respects.
