Worse yet is auto-update for applications. My phone will be idle, connected to power and WiFi while I’m sleeping for many hours, and it isn’t until I remove it from power in the morning that it starts installing updates automatically, so I can’t use the apps.
They track when the phone is charged at night to try to predict when you’ll remove it from power to optimize charging, but they can’t use this to also intelligently download/install things in the background when it won’t impact the user? It makes no sense, and falls right in line with the lack of logic on the podcast downloads.
Overcast's streaming is utterly busted. And the UI state gets confused (enabled in UI turns into disabled in functionality, etc)
And it's not just me. :-(

Note that, two of those items that are crossed out are still being experienced by end users.
From listening to him discussing his Overcast rewrite on podcasts, I feel for him. It feels like he's really struggling to make Apple's frameworks work reliably. Moving to SwiftUI might have been the wrong move.
