Outcast for Watch for Positive User Reviews
✓ Not perfect, but best option for podcasts on Apple WatchIt works well if you can manage to get a full episode downloaded onto the watch which can be a mission. Would be nice to choose episodes on my iPhone to download..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Only choice for podcastI never take the time to fill out these reviews, let alone base my choices on them. Especially since I used to think the reviews weren't real. I decided to find out for myself by fill out this comments. tried several other podcast players for my watch, and none of them can even begin to compare to this one. This Player is the best one available on the app store, it not only streams podcasts but it's the only app to allow streaming audio without having to connect a separate device. It has also allowed me to stream the latest videos. Don't waste the time that I did downloading and ultimately deleting those other worthless apps, go with the best one first, you won't regret it. So why are you waiting for? Get this app!.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Solves one of the biggest problems in Watch OSThis app is a big deal! It solves one of the biggest problems in watchOS. One of the things I really love about this app is that it is starting to treat the Watch as a separate entity away from the phone. I actually love that I can just turn off the Bluetooth on my phone and download things over Wi-Fi. I hope that more watch apps go in this direction. Also great use of user interface, by searching with your voice. This is a great app and it also feels like the future. Thanks for putting my podcasts on my wrist!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Best gets better. Now with chapter support.Now with chapter support, Outcast has all but replaced Overcast as my daily driver. All watch owners who listen to podcasts must download this. I don’t know what’s next, but this app just gets better and better. Perhaps an opt-in for auto-sync? Auto-sync has been a fail on Overcast, but maybe the Outcast team has an answer? Great work! This app lives on my Infograph sub-dial..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Does exactly what it’s supposed to doIt’s not a full featured podcast app that does everything. In fact, it doesn’t even play on the phone but it does the thing I expect it to do, which is to download specific episode onto my watch and it does it well. So I’m happy with this..Version: 4.2.4
✓ You saved the apple watch for me!Because of this app, i get to enjoy my podcasts during my runs! thanks.Version: 1.0.9
✓ Ideal for Music Play without PhoneI’ve recently got rid of Apple Music as my whole family use Amazon Music so I wanted to be able to go out running without my phone and still listen to music. Tried the Apple Podcasts app but what a faff. So found this, paid 99p and it just works. Job done!.Version: 3.1.12
✓ Great Customer EngagementThe man that Owns the store Runs the store... Prompt and Helpful Support. Great App!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Very goodThe only watch podcast I’ve actually Gotten to work. Bargain at 99p. Welldone..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Update: problem resolvedBack to 5 stars again. Please fix as I've just put my airpods in to find that my downloaded music has been deleted AGAIN. Also the iPhone app has been deleted as well I'll be happy to give 5 stars when the problem has been resolved.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Works. Buggy. But the best option available.I bought this app because I want to listen to podcasts on my non cellular Apple Watch while I run, leaving my phone at home. I’m thankful that it works for that, but barely. I have to continually scrub my finger over the watch face keeping the app open while the podcast download progresses. Otherwise it will lose connection. It also only plays podcast back at 1X speed. It does look like the developers are responsive to feedback and are working continually making improvements..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Love it, but some feedbackI love this app. I love the whole thing. It’s awesome. I get annoyed tho because sometimes it saves where I’m up to on a podcast listen through my watch and then sometimes it doesn’t. When that’s a 3 hour podcast and you’re 2 hours plus in that’s really annoying to work out manually. Especially when I’m often trying to manage the whole watch on a walk with two dogs. I do love the app tho. Just that one thing would push it into the stratosphere..Version: 3.1.12
✓ StreamingAdd instant streaming and this would be amazing..Version: 1.0.2
✓ The best there is!I’ve tried all of the podcast apps for the watch and outside of maybe Apple’s official app this is the best experience you can get on the Apple Watch as a standalone experience. The watchOS 5 update is killer - amazing use of complications, supporting the new playback features in os5, and smart stuff to keep the screen on for fast downloads (auto rotate). Amazing app - keep development going - will be looking for a tip jar in the app!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great app, despite people not knowing how to use itThis is a great option for podcasts given the current WatchOS. I use it frequently, downloads great, works with Now Playing widget (most of the time!). Could it be better? Of course. But for podcasts on the watch it is an elegant solution to a less than ideal situation. The negative reviews here are seemingly from people unsure how to use both the app and their watch. Ask for help. Don’t spam the App Store..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Good if you can bear the frustrationI think most people would agree that the most important feature of a podcast app is the ability to download the content you want to play. If you’re willing to invest the time in learning about how your Apple Watch uses Bluetooth and WiFi and know how to check if your WiFi network is running on 5GHz or 2.4GHz (and potentially change the band your router is configured to broadcast on) then you’ll probably get downloads working in the end. If you don’t know how to deal with technology then save yourself the money and frustration and download a different Podcast app..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Misleading title - But works with Bluetooth headphones/speakers pairedI paid up in the belief that,as you state,all I needed was this app and my watch to play a podcast on,great I thought. Paid. Downloaded. Can’t do anything as Apple restricted all sound output on our devices from third party devs. Turns out you are correct lol UPDATE : GOT IT WORKING! Anyway I have finally faffed around enough to get it working without my phone by using Bluetooth headphones and will make do with those. You should make it clearer that we need to use the Bluetooth for sound output. Once working I can see I will like it,it’s easy to move stuff over from the phone and then play over AirPods or our BT speakers. I hope you add more and more content for us who don’t always know where urls are for podcasts. It’s a five star app now I sussed it out and am listening so thank you... 🎧👉⌚️🤦♂️.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Great app!I have the Apple watch with LTE but haven't been able to justify getting cellular service since my phone is almost always with me. This app has been a great addition for those times I dont want to carry the phone around, like when I'm doing stuff in the yard or walking the dog. The first few downloads took several minutes- which really isn't that terrible for those of us that remember what life was like with dial-up - but then the app suggested putting my phone in airplane mode and voila, almost instanious download of a 45 minute podcast. Well worth the .99 price tag.Version: 1.0.9
✓ Works greatWorks like it should but keep in mind you have to disconnect the watch from your phone and leave it connected to your WiFi for it to download tracks. It takes a couple minutes after you phone is turned off for the watch to actually connect up to the WiFi then it works like a charm. I love using it for runs out doors so I. D.o.n.t have to bring my phone and I cancelled my cellphone account for my watch..Version: 3.1.11
✓ Revised review after most recent updatesImproved user experience. Connectivity and downloads are now working well for me. I much prefer the on demand downloads with this app over the Apple podcast app’s downloads only while the watch is docked..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Fills a much needed nicheI’ve been after a decent Apple Watch podcast app, and this feels the spot nicely. It’s not perfect, but working within Apple’s restraints, it works very nicely. The phone stays home, the AirPods come out, and I’m off on my walk. Brilliant. This is modern living!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ IoS15 AW Bluetooth not off using control centrePosted earlier to complain that outcast had stopped working over Bluetooth - turns out its ios15’s fault. Turning off Bluetooth using control centre does not turn it off for AW. Hopefully the developer will put more faqs like this on their website. Glad to have the best AW podcast app back again.Version: 4.3.0
✓ Best Standalone Podcast App for Apple WatchBeing able to listen to podcasts on the Apple Watch without the phone is truly liberating, especially for running and working out. I have tried most of the AW podcast apps, andOutcast is by far the best, particularly now that it has playlist functionality that allows paying podcast episodes in series automatically. Podcasts load very quickly by WiFi or cellular if you follow the tip of putting the phone on airplane mode or if you are away from the phone..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Worked great on a runDownloads via WiFi are so quick when putting iPhone to airplane mode. Downloads away from the phone on cellular were also speedy. I didn’t have any issues playing podcasts while using a running app on the watch. Very easy to manage everything on the watch, adding, removing episodes, cancelling downloads etc. You have to use the now playing app to control volume but it wasn’t a problem for me. This app surpassed all expectations I had..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Really impressedI’m new to watch podcasting but this is great. It’s the only app I’ve managed to get podcasts to reliably download on, and quickly. It feels like the real problem is Apple’s platform, hence why apps like this are needed. But Outcast manages to work well all the same..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Works wellThis is the standalone Watch podcasting app you’ve been waiting for. Well done!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ An invaluable app…I have used the fantastic app since it first appeared in the App Store. It has really added to the enjoyment of every Apple Watch I have owned. To be able to download my favourite BBC podcasts to my Apple and listen to them without needing to have my iPhone to hand has meant hours & hours of listening pleasure (especially during long flights when travelling the world). Its UI on Apple Watch can take some getting used to but once how to use it to download podcast editions to Apple Watch is understood, it is really easy to use. I would actually class this little app as being an invaluable app IMHO..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Good and usefulCan you make possible use of different alphabets in search. Will be a five star app then..Version: 4.0
✓ A killer app for LTE Apple WatchFantastic app if you like listening to podcasts without having to be tethered to your phone. The UI is has a bit of a learning curve but it’s easy once you get used to it. Works best when you DON’T have the phone nearby. I use this app mostly on walks and bike rides, and I usually wait until I’ve left the house to grab episodes to listen to because getting them over LTE is so much faster than the Bluetooth connection on the phone. LTE Apple Watch is so liberating because of apps like this one..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Nice!!!Would be good if it there could be some kind of a download/sync indicator..Version: 4.0
✓ This is how our watch apps should workSimple direct control of downloads or streaming. Simple to delete when not wanted. Starred shows are effectively your subscriptions. Would be good if we could go to wifi download without having to disconnect from phone Bluetooth, but this is an Apple issue. Love this app which I use daily..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Fantastic appThis is an absolutely amazing app and I love using it, only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is because deleting podcasts is a bit of a pain, if they can make this process easier I would give it 5 stars..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Essential Podcast AppGreat app which means you’ll always have your favourite podcasts with you on your watch, even if you’ve left your phone behind. WiFi file transfer is fast and works perfectly. A bit fiddly switching bluetooth on and off but that’s more the fault of Apple than the developer, whose made a great app despite Apples’ restrictions. Highly recommended for Apple Watch owners who love their podcasts!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Best Apple Watch podcast playerI have tried them all and this one is by far the best. Quick downloads over WiFi or LTE and you can use app and find podcasts without your phone. I did originally have an issue with the app not seeing my Apple AirPods but turning my watch off and back on with the play rate at 1.1 fixed that. Thanks for making a great app!!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Brilliant solutionFinally I can easily go for a run without my phone and still bring my podcasts along with me. Being able to download over cellular means I don’t have to worry about syncing things in advance..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Finally a podcast app that really works on Apple WatchFinally a podcast app that works on Apple Watch! Not only does it work, it is simple, offering easy control over downloading and deleting episodes. Previously I have tried all the others MiniCast, OverCast and the Apple Podcast app. Despite the promises of Watch OS 5 none of them work reliably. Outcast just does it simply and effectively. My only ask is to offer variable playback speed, but thanks so much for building this. Just returned from a run having cracked through a couple of podcasts which I downloaded just before I went out. Brilliant!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Awesome App!Works as advertised! I tried other apps but this is the best one. Very pleased with the functionality and usability of this app, especially considering how new it is and the current limitations for app development on WatchOS. Extremely creative developer and I imagine it will only get better. Well worth the price. Thank you for providing this ‘missing’ piece for Apple Watch!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great Considering limitations developer has to work withI’ve tried a few other ways to listen to podcasts on my watch and this one is by far the best. Considering the limitations Apple has put on the watch as a platform. Yes it’s a pain to remember to disconnect the phone & there is no way to sync between my podcast player on the phone and watch; but it downloads sooooo fast when on LTE. with in 2 weeks of light use I had a workable rhythm..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Play offline podcasts on your watchWorks really well, and pretty much to only transparent way to make sure your podcasts are downloaded to your Apple Watch before leaving your phones connection. I just wish that their phone app also played podcasts, as I have to now have two different podcast libraries to manage. I end up just looking on my phone to see what podcasts I want to listen to right then and search outcast for those episodes and download them. It works but if their phone app played podcasts I’d strictly use their whole ecosystem..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Finally!There’s finally a stand-alone podcast player for Apple Watch! I would give 5 stars but there are some annoyances. Favouriting/following podcasts should be implemented as searching is tedious. Auto download would be a great feature as well. Downloading to watch is slow but a little faster over wifi. I suspect the screen sleep issue is due to apple’s limitations, not the developer. Looking forward to future updates!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great, given the constraintsApple imposes constraints on watchOS developers that makes a perfect podcast app impossible today. Given those constraints, Outcast does a great job: You can play podcasts locally, from your Watch, using AirPods. The UI is as polished and responsive as you can ask for at this stage of the Apple Watch. This app is a fine use of a couple of bucks..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Outcast lets me run with podcastsI like to go running with just my Apple Watch rather carry my iPhone 7 Plus. Have tried other ways of transferring podcasts to the Watch and gave up. This app works really well for me - easily accessing BBC podcasts. Transfer is really quick on Wi-fi and app works well with my Earin wireless earbuds. Many thanks to the developers - they have done a really good job within the constraints imposed by Apple..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Worth it to listenAfter trying several times to download an episode (and failing), and attempting to use Airplane Mode (and failing), I finally figured out that turning off my phone was the easiest way to disconnect while downloading. It worked like a dream! The app is sooooo worth it to be able to listen on podcasts phone-free, but it would be nice to have the downloading glitch fixed..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Great for transferring podcasts from iPhone to Apple WatchGreat app that solves the offline playback/transfers issues that plague the Apple Podcast App, and Overcast. I literally fought with both of these apps for hours trying to get them to sync podcasts and this is the only one that provides a clear picture of the transfer to the watch. Thank you!.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Not the developer’s fault but...Sadly I have deleted this app from my watch. I bought it purely to listen to a single, subscription based, podcast stream. The stream in question (LBC) is password protected and in spite of the app’s recent updates it just won’t download this stream. Not the fault of the developer but means it’s not a keeper for me. ***UPDATE*** Why aren’t all developers like this? Following my review he immediately got in touch with me and has worked incredibly hard-with regular feedback-to get Outcast working with my stubborn favourite podcast. Latest update nails it and now happy to give this 5 stars..Version: 1.0.9
✓ A great stop forward in podcast appsI’ve read how hard it is to get a Podcast app on the Apple Watch due to the Watch OS limitations, and it looks like a huge amount of work has gone into this. Due to Apple limitations you can’t control the podcast volume through the app itself (but can in Now Playing). This app really does mean you can go out with just your Watch and Bluetooth headphones and download and listen to your favourite podcasts. Unlike another Watch Podcast app I’d used you can multitask (e.g. Start the Podcast and then start a Runkeeper activity). Thanks to the Developer Response I now know that if you force touch, you can control a bunch of useful settings Speed, Download over Cellular, Skip Duration, Notifications, Scrubbing Speed, etc. Note that even in fully featured Podcast players on the iPhone like Pocketcasts, you can’t use the Watch Crown to scrub forward/back, so being able to do with just a Watch app is incredible. Thanks Crunchy Bagel; their Streaks app is great too.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Podcast on Apple WatchCan you please implement this function? Then it will be perfect!!.Version: 4.6.1
✓ Simple and works!After spending time in other apps trying to get podcasts on to the watch. This was easy and simple to use. No more silent AirPod wearing exercise..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Even with Apple Podcasts, IOS 14, and WatchOS 7, this is a MUSTSure Apple Podcasts can automatically sync podcasts to your watch but here’s the catch: you can’t do it on demand and it has to be on the charger. If you use your Apple Watch to track your sleep and then go on a morning run wishing to listen to a morning podcast? You are out of luck. That is where Outcast comes in. A stand-alone Apple Watch Podcast app that allows for on demand downloads (which are quick by the way) without a charger. I can wake up in the morning from tracking my sleep and then download a 25 minute podcast in about two minutes or less and be on my run listening within the next few minutes. This app is a must (ps: I have tried Overcast and pretty much every other claimed stand alone Apple Watch podcast app, none come close). I am so glad with recent updates the developer shows their current interest in keeping Outcast alive. Keep up the good work and don’t stop support!.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Works a treatFar better than the Apple podcast app. Line up what you want to listen to and away you go. Be good if online help was a bit more detailed but other than that, no problems here. Recommended..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Best for watchHands down the best player for Apple watch. This app does what I have been wanting other apps to do for over a year. Search and download directly from watch..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Apples missing podcast appWorks well..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Works great!I have been using this regularly for my walks and runs, and it works great. Before I leave the house, or office I just turn off Bluetooth on my iPhone and download a couple of podcasts that will last as long as I need, and then take off. Using my AirPods, it works just fine. I tried a few others, and they did not work reliably..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Delivers on targetThis app works as well as an Apple Watch app can. It takes a little getting used to if you are going to use this while exercising. Follow the instructions for downloading podcasts to the watch, it makes a difference. I have been able to run iPhone-free a couple times now and it’s really awesome! You can’t ask for more for under a buck. Get the app, you’ll be glad you did..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Exactly what I neededI cannot stress enough how much I like this app. I got an apple watch without LTE to run with and getting podcasts on it was such a nightmare that I nearly returned it. As a last ditch effort I downloaded this app and it made the apple watch purchase worthwhile. Being able to run without my phone is such a pleasure and if not for this app I would have returned the watch. I can mark my favorite podcasts I can download episodes straight from the wifi (not through the phone’s bluetooth) I easily downlod and delete episodes It tracks my progress and shows me which ones I have already played. It just works. Thank you..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Like teaching a dog to tap danceIt’s more amazing that it can do it at all, than how well it does it. There are annoying features, like the way it audibly skips through a podcast, storing up all your keypresses and possibly flying past the bit you are looking for (why not do that, but as soon as the user taps the opposite direction button, kill the buffered presses?) And often when you return to a podcast it forgets how far you were through it. The biggest annoyance is probably the cumbersome transfer process (ideally you want it to perhaps grab the next episode of a few subscribed podcasts, rather than demand that you turn off Bluetooth, then sit there for a minute or so while an individual episode transfers over WiFi) I don’t doubt that these issues are the fault of Apple- having heard the Overcast author complain about lots of issues- but it does affect the experience. Still, it is VERY reasonably priced given its capabilities..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Great for my WatchThis is so convenient. Love it..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Major Problem-Downloading!This app would easily rate a five! The only issue is that while I am downloading a current episode – I have to keep pushing to begin the download from where it left off. Download pauses throughout the entire process. This is a major headache! It would be great if the developer would fix the issue and the downloading proceeded more seamlessly!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Best Apple Watch Podcast Player So FarI’ve purchased all of the podcast players for the Apple Watch including Watch Player, Minicasts, Watch Casts, etc, and this is the best one so far. It freezes occasionally, but I really like the interface of Outcast better than the others. It displays graphics and episode descriptions on the Watch, and you can use use the crown to FF or RW. You have to turn Bluetooth off on the iPhone to quickly download episodes via WiFi, but this is a limitation with all the Apple Watch podcast apps. Until Apple gets serious about podcast support on the Watch and releases a native app, this one is my preferred solution..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Awesome app that makes your watch worthwhileI love this app. Pure and simple. I never really review things but I felt compelled. I enjoy listening to podcasts whilst running and this has made it not only possible but really easy. There are some reviews talking about problems downloading podcasts that clearly haven’t the instructions about how to do it probably (disconnecting from phone). Once you have this sorted it downloads really quickly. Great work. Love it. Thx!.Version: 1.0.9
✓ Not where it needs to be...yetThis app would be much better if I didn’t need to disable Bluetooth on my iPhone to enable even a mediocre download speed. Also there’s no setting that will allow for automatic downloads and removal of podcasts once they’ve been consumed. Don’t get me wrong; this app takes a huge step in the right direction for searching for and listening to podcasts; and all this without having the functionality that an updated Watch OS 5 API may soon enable. When that happens I’ll upgrade my rating..Version: 2.0.1
✓ It’s a must for me!The ability to run out the door without my phone and listen to a podcast is awesome! Probably isn’t the same for people on a limited data plan or no data..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Absolutely love itI bought an Apple Watch 3 with Cellular for 2 reasons; I’m sick of carrying around a gigantic phone and I wanted to be able to listen to Christian podcasts while I was hitting golf balls, shooting hoops, etc...without having to lug around my phone...and this app is excellent for your Apple Watch. I have no complaints...I simply love it and I did try a few others and they were not nearly as user friendly as Outcast. Thank you my good people at Outcast! FYI - for those of you on the fence about adding your watch to your cell plan, it’s worth it...well worth it. I think it’s like $10-$15 per month with a $30 activation fee but it is SO worth it! I know this will ensure no one reads this review but God bless and I hope you find great podcasts that are uplifting and help you in your walk!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ It worksThe app works where many others do not. I cannot seem to get the app to push podcasts from my phone to the watch via the phone side. I end up having to download podcasts with my watch which takes a few minutes. Also, the podcasts seem to download faster when the watch is near the phone despite the directions. I cannot get this app to stream podcasts without downloading them first which is probably more of an indictment on how poor watch cell service is. All said and done, this app helps make up for the fact that the Apple Watch is very limited in streaming podcasts which was the entire reason I bought it—to stream podcasts without having to take my phone on runs or to the gym. If my gripes above were addressed the app would be perfect but it works so it is hard to complain too much..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Good work with what’s availableReally well done for creating something this usable with the APIs at hand. For users, just remember to drop the connection between phone and watch to force downloads direct over WiFi.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Works As Advertised.Well, the app works as expected but still needs some tweaking. The app will definitely get me by until Apple gets the official Podcast on the Apple Watch in the Fall. One awesome feature I accidentally discovered was scrubbing with the Digital Crown. You can turn the Digital Crown and scrub through the audio. That’s is awesome for listening to a precise point in the audio recording. Good job on the devs part. Apple need to look at that feature for sure. But, I will say I’m very happy I get to take my podcast with me with only the Apple Watch present. I hike 10 miles a morning and like to listen to my weekly favorite podcast like CultCast. So, Outcast just made my mornings a bit more enjoyable. I say: thank you..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Great Podcast AppAfter some initial downloading issues this app is working really well. Only right I update my review. Also fair play to the developer who got in contact quickly to assist, although not required. Love having Podcasts at the gym on my iWatch without having phone around. Definitely recommend this great app..Version: 1.0.3
✓ TerrificI’ve tried the lot. This is the best by a long mile if you want the focus to be the Watch as a self-standing device, rather than sharing podcasts with the iPhone, mirroring and the rest. You can download straight to the Watch on the Watch and delete from the Watch. Boom. Done. Downloads by WiFi don’t take too long as long as you keep the app ‘open and active’. I haven’t yet tested downloading when the Watch is ‘asleep’ at night. In short, if what you want is to pedal down country lanes, away from WiFi or a cellular signal without your iPhone, listening to downloaded podcasts sharing analysis of Wittgenstein, this is for you. No contest..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Finally, a podcast app for the watch that worksAs the developer said in a response to a bad review, the app was a bit “fiddly” at first. But, once I played with it a bit, it works flawlessly. Forcing the watch to go into cellular or WiFi modes is the key. Once that was done, downloads were surprisingly fast. I just downloaded three 60 minute-ish podcasts in less than one minute each. Brilliant! Plus, its super ease to find new podcasts, add episodes, delete episodes and play episodes. Just a really nicely designed and easy to use podcast app for the watch. Finally!.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Not Perfect, But CloseBetter than Apple’s offering. Better than Overcast for Apple Watch listening. It’s not perfect and it takes a little while to figure it out. It also helps to restart it every so often. But once podcasts are downloaded and sorted into a playlist, it just works and plays consistently. It’d be nice to be able to manage everything on the phone app and then sync/download the watch, but that may be a watchOS limitation (I don’t know). Totally worth the money, though. Get it..Version: 3.1.13
✓ No y’allNone of your business.Version: 4.6.1
✓ Perfect podcast appJust super easy to use and it works! No ads or annoying subscription models.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Nearly perfectIt’s a godsend for users opting for independent use of Apple Watch from iphone, in my case it’s a use on a bike ride. However, the only regret is that remote rewinding ( double push of the button) on a Bluetooth headphone device doesn’t work. I do hope it’s fixed in the next version..Version: 4.3.2
✓ Love it!Update: would love an update for some of the obvious bugs: 1. Marking of okayed podcasts is unreliable. Some that are played aren’t and vice versa. 2. Download or streaming can stall and if there’s questionable connectivity, and don’t timeout. You have to force kill the app to make it work again. This app is great, I can stream or download episodes directly to the watch over cell. Finally! For every other podcast app the watch is a 2nd class citizen of the phone, which syncs sometimes, no others and leaves you hanging. Outcast just works. Streaming over cell uses a lot of battery, just like the built in radio app. Downloading and then playing is great. Downloading over cell then a 1.5-2 run battery goes down 25% which is perfect..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Love itI use this app all the time now. Easy to find pods and select individual episodes. It’s nice to leave the phone at home. Make sure you follow the support advice about being disconnected from your phone when downloading. I usually just put my iPhone into airplane mode..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Grea for LTE Apple WatchI have an Apple Watch series 4 with data and was disappointed not to be able to stream podcasts whilst I was running. This app sorts that. Only issue is that you have to download full podcast before it will play which leaves a short gap between them on the run. That said very well made app that I would certainly recommend. Syncs well with workout app as you just swipe right to change volume etc once the podcast has started..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Still better than apple’s watch appI got this before apple released their podcast app for the watch but I still like it better, you can download podcasts right on the watch and they don’t auto-delete which is good for jogging podcasts etc where you want to listen to the same one repeatedly. I do use the stock podcast app on the phone sometimes for regular podcasts, news etc but for exercise podcasts on the watch this one is just easier.Version: 3.1.11
✓ L’app que je cherchais pour courir !!J’ai longtemps cherché pour mon Apple Watch Serie 2 une app qui puisse me permettre de télécharger des podcast directement sur ma watch pour partir courir sans mon iPhone. Les options étaient jusqu’alors instables ou ne fonctionnaient tout simplement pas. J’ai enfin trouvé la bonne, bien que depuis un certain temps, les téléchargements s’interrompent fréquemment, ce qui m’oblige à les surveiller et les relancer (fatigant pour un podcast de 106Mo...), ce qui explique l’étoile en moins. De plus, l’astuce de mettre l’iPhone en avion pour que la Watch télécharge en wifi ne fonctionne pas (cela concerne que les Serie 3 ?).Version: 2.0.1
✓ Works perfectly!I have tried both the apple podcasts and the overcast app and they both failed to download podcasts to my watch, they kept saying waiting or syncing forever. However, this app works flawlessly, I download my podcasts instantly and go on my run only carrying my watch and AirPods. It’s perfect..Version: 4.2.3
✓ At first - Didn’t work with my Bluetooth headphones.Be aware! The app didn’t work with my Bluetooth headphones at first. I assumed when Bluetooth headphones work with my iPhone then they are comparable. Looks like I was wrong. Thank you to the developers who responded the following day with some advice. The app is now working as it should. One of a kind app and worth a look..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Amazing.Well done guys. Finally an app for the Apple Watch that is fit for purpose. The deciding factor here for a 5 star is that you offer the option for full bit rate transfers so the audio quality is perfect. Other apps such as Overcast massively drop the bit rate to get around the transfer times. But with Outcast (this app) I can transfer full bodied, large audio files in seconds. This is a no nonsense, easy to use app with no compromise on audio quality..Version: 4.5.1
✓ YesDoes exactly what it’s says on the tin. Wish it could have more functionality. But can’t fault it for what it does. Especially since syncing from Apple Podcasts is garbage. Well worth 99p.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Great app for podcasts on watchI was concerned based on other reviews talking about horrible download speeds. But for a buck I decided it was worth a shot. Short version; it’s fine. Using phone and Bluetooth (the slow method), I was able to download a 10 minute podcast in <2 minutes and a 30 minute podcast in ~5 minutes. And that was with an iffy connection. [Update - with WiFi (and phone in airplane mode; so watch direct) a 60 minute podcast downloaded in <1 minute. Super fast, no issues.] Only four stars because I’m still getting used to the controls (a combination of clicking screen title in upper left and force touch that still doesn’t seem intuitive to me). I’ll update as I use it more, but envision using this when I go on runs with only my watch - perfect for that use!.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Best podcast for Apple Watch cellularIt works beautifully with my cellular Apple, much superior to Apple podcast app..Version: 4.2
✓ So pleasedAfter struggling with other podcast steps to transfer to my Apple Watch this is like a breath of fresh air so easy and straightforward.Version: 3.1.9
✓ This is a REALLY great appI spent the better part of a day trying different podcast apps trying to find one that would let me choose exactly which podcast episodes I wanted to download to my Apple Watch. Many apps had some vague promise this could happen but couldn’t explain how, or a subscription was required to unlock this functionality. And then I found Outcast. For $1 it does exactly what I want and I don’t have to go through a complicated syncing with my phone or make tons of different playlists. I can simply search for a podcast on my watch, download whichever episode I chose, and off I can go on a jog- leaving my phone at home. I usually don’t write reviews, but this app deserves some praise for its simplicity and doing exactly what it promises. Thank you!.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Good on Series 3 and Great on Series 4Everything about this app is great EXCEPT the horrible BATTERY DRAIN. U can see the battery v life going down as the minute goes by. It's insane. I had this app installed when I had my Applewatch series 3 running watch OS whatever version it was during late 2017 until buying my Series 4 here in October. It was the only podcast app that allowed me to download podcast episodes straight to my watch. It was key. It has its faults but that was Apples restrictions. Now with watch OS5.0 With the series 4, they updated some things making the app much better n easier allowing u to download straight from ur phone app then just unpausing it on ur watch to finish the download. I prefer it to Apples Podcast app n also now seen like I owe them some sort of loyalty for getting me my podcasts back when no other app could on my Applewatch. The best part about the update is the volume and also being able to restart it podcasts from where u were last listening. In the old version, I always wrote down the time I was at n then fast forwarded to the correct spot. Props 2 the app developers..Version: 3.0.4
✓ AwesomeAwesome.Version: 4.6.1
✓ My Favorite App!Works way better than the natural podcast app and only app I’ve seen that lets you play, search and select podcasts directly from your watch without needing your phone nearby. It can have glitches but every app deals with that when playing directly from the watch. Read the tips they recommend (like turning off Bluetooth on your phone if it’s connected can help sometimes). I leave the house most of the time with just my watch so this is the best! Thanks so much!!!.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Probably the best optionIn terms of what it can do I think it is the most capable app for listening to podcasts on your watch as you can actually choose which podcasts to move over unlike the Apple podcasts app. You can also transfer podcasts over 4hrs long to your watch which you cannot do with overcast. The thing that I would say is this apps most disappointing issue is that you have to constantly keep your watches screen on by tapping it whilst you wait half an hour for the transfer which is actually really annoying. Seeing as I followed the instructions and disabled my Bluetooth meaning the podcasts downloaded over WiFi you would think that the download time would be a minute or two like on a smartphone but no unfortunately this can take a very long time..Version: 3.1.12
✓ It just works!Finally I can download a podcast directly to watch before hitting the road for a run! It’s ludicrous that you can’t do this with the built in podcast app, so thank goodness for outcast!.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Great But Kills My BatteryUpdating my previous review. App works so much better now in all respects EXCEPT it kills my battery! I use it about an hour a day on my walk and my watch battery which started above 90% is routinely down to 35-40% by the end of the walk. I have to charge the watch right away or I can’t get through the rest of the day (gotta close those rings!) If The watch could be charged while wearing it wouldn’t be a problem but since I can’t this bothers me. It’s probably more an Apple problem than an Outcast problem but we all know how responsive Apple is to customer concerns! Just be aware when using this app that your battery will drain super fast. Still, it’s a great app. I was very excited that this app was finally filling the podcast gap in my Gen3 Apple Watch. Exported my podcasts from Overcast and I was good to go. It worked great for a couple of days then locked up. Had to restart the watch to get it to work again. A week later I’m having the same problem. I think this app has great potential and just needs a little tweaking. Maybe when the next update comes out it will be more stable. This is well worth trying, just know you have to work with it. Hoping to give the next update 5 stars..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Necessary if you run with podcastsThis app fills a hole in the Apple Watch workout experience by allowing you to play podcasts straight from your watch. The fact that it’s super polished and well designed just makes it so much better..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Apple watch is now amazing.Shame on apple that it cannot incorporate a podcast app onto the series 3 apple watch. Downloads are fast over wifi on the watch and the design is brilliant to use! Best 99p I've spent on app store..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Apple Watch synching done rightI’m delighted with this. Lightning-fast podcast downloads direct your Apple Watch using your wi-fi network (just remember to switch off Bluetooth in Settings first). Now I can leave the house to run without my phone knowing for certain that my podcasts are loaded; no disappointments. As others have said, why Apple can’t do this beats me!.Version: 4.3.0
✓ Finally!I have been searching for a good podcast app for my Apple Watch since they came out. Outcast has finally delivered something that works. Yes you have to unpair your phone but the download is so fast that it doesn’t matter. I use Bose Soundsport earbuds and can control the volume from them. This is an easy quick way to load podcasts to your watch for a workout.Version: 1.0.3
✓ AwesomeFinally podcasts on the Watch! Properly thought out and nicely presented despite the restrictions Apple enforces.Version: 1.0.6
✓ A must-have for Apple watchMakes listening on my Apple Watch a million times easier - very simple UI, able to switch between episodes, and download eps right from the watch. Appreciate the independence from my phone since that’s what I bought the watch for. So much more usable than the Apple podcast app..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Search function needs improvementsCurrently to search back to earlier shows you have to load more and scroll. Very tedious. Search currently only finds a specific show and not the episodes within..Version: 3.1.8
✓ Some mods I would make.Love the app. Easy to use. Quick downloads. My only suggestion would be to manage downloads from the iPhone portion of the app. Sometimes it is frustrating having to make changes (adding sorting, deleting and searching for podcasts) from the watch itself. The screen is not big enough and sometimes it tends to slow down and freeze. But overall I love the app, and would recommend downloading. However, the new Apple OS is reportedly adding the Podcast app to the watch so you can make these sort of adjustments from the iPhone app. But for now, it’s the best app for podcasts..Version: 1.0.9
