Moving from Pocket Casts to Overcast

By Lanie Carmelo, 22 May, 2022

Hi all. I wanted to try Overcast since I've heard a lot of good things about it, but I'm having trouble importing an OPML file from Pocket Casts, so I was wondering if anyone else has done this. When I tried exporting from Pocket Casts into Overcast, I got an error message saying something like the Overcast sync service returned an error, so I saved the OPML to files. Then I was able to open it in Overcast, and it said importing was successful, but I still don't see any podcasts. I have a lot, so I really don't want to add them all manually. Has anyone else made the move between these two podcast apps, and do you have any suggestions for how I can make this work? Thanks.

Fixed It

For some reason, the OPML did import but the podcasts didn't show up. I was able to fix it by turning on Wi-Fi, since I normally use cellular, and reinstalling the app. Not sure why the podcasts didn't sync on my cell network, but there it is.
