4/5Leader of the Pack
These developers try really hard to bring a great app that gets around Apple’s limitations imposed on the Watch. Apple stopped the ability to stream music and podcasts thru the watch. They brought back Apple Music, and I have read that Podcasts are coming back in the next major update. Excited to see what Outcast does with that. Hopefully they will be able to use it too, not just Apple Podcasts. The app tries really hard to be the best podcast app and the best Apple Watch app out there. This latest update allows streaming (Yay!), but really it is buffering and playing once enough is downloaded. Once it starts, you still need to keep the Watch active for the full download, which is still not very practical. It’s OK if you can sit and wait for a pod to download before a run, and the play starting helps with the boredom of waiting for a not so quick download, but who has time to sit around waiting for downloads. Hoping that the update in Fall 2018 solves this, and I’m sure this developer will be all over it when it does. Apple needs to break the mandatory tethering to iPhone soon like they eventually did with the iPhone to a PC.

5/5Great But Kills My Battery
Updating 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.

5/5Good on Series 3 and Great on Series 4
Everything 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.

4/5It works
The 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.

5/5Even with Apple Podcasts, IOS 14, and WatchOS 7, this is a MUST
Sure 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!
