I completely agree about Apple&#x27;s app being messed up and would love to use Overcast, but the last time I looked into it:<p>a) It required giving them my email or creating an account or some crap. That&#x27;s an absolute deal breaker. I know they had some weird thing where it could generate an anonymous id or something, but it&#x27;s not sufficient for me. I must be able to use the app with no further communication to the producer of the app.<p>b) I like using iTunes for Podcast discovery, and having a separate app makes that harder.<p>Also, looking at the website for Overcast now, it has social features like sharing podcasts on Twitter. WTF? I just want to listen to some shows I like. I don&#x27;t want to give or share anything with anyone!
