Hi I have been using overcast with Apple Watch & AirPods for a few months now & has been working great. All of a sudden however the 'push to watch' option on iPhone is not showing up anywhere. On watch there is no 'on watch' option at all- can play on watch from the iPhone but nothing showing up saved on Watch at all. Desperately hoping others had the same problem & found a solution?? Thanks so much for your time


Marco recently said that iOS 11 and watchOS 4 broke this feature. And since the feature had tons of issues, and workarounds he had to use to get it to work, that he was going to be removing the feature for now. He said if in the future the technology makes it easier and more reliable to implement he will re-implement it. So for now the feature is gone.

As Trick says above, it’s been removed.

There’s an explanation here;

And he talks about it in his podcast here;

If by any chance there is any other app that provides this feature would love to hear

WatchPlayer and Watchcast both offer this feature but they will only work until you upgrade to Apple Watch software version 4. Once you do, the way they worked will be shut off by Apple.
