Hi Marco,

Thank you for the ability to skip chapters in a podcast! I’ve been enjoying the feature.

Sometimes when this feature activates it can be a bit jarring depending on where the chapter breaks are placed. On a few occasions I’ve taken my phone out of my pocket to make sure there wasn’t something wrong with the podcast file or Overcast before realizing what I am hearing was chapter skipping. I think some kind of short generic chime/tone/beep when chapter skipping is triggered would help my brain process what happened. I imagine this might not be ideal behavior for everyone, which is why I’m thinking of this more as a nitpicky detail than a change to how the feature works by default.

I get what the episode limit is going for, but I think I lost a bunch of downloaded shows that are no longer available when Overcast updated to the latest TestFlight version. I think before pushing this upgrade to the main App Store version, some kind of UI should be shown when the upgraded software first launches to warn the user that data loss could occur. I’m thinking it could be a pop up that displays podcast show titles, the currently set limit (which is a dropdown to modify the limit), and the current number of downloaded shows. Hoping Claude could help you put that together quickly :)
