Installed the update earlier today. It is still very accessible. I am just going to have to get used to some of the new ways of doing things. For example, the app no longer streams podcasts but there is a setting to delete episodes after listening. I think the app might be a little more verbose with VoiceOver but nothing that would give me any reason to stop using the app. I will write to Marco that I would like to see more use of the Action menu as in the previous version of the app. It seems like a few extra steps might be required for adding episodes to the queue. But otherwise, I would not hesitate to recommend the app to VoiceOver users.
Hey, I'm using the new Overcast app. What's frustrating is that it is laggy, especially after marking an episode as listened to. When entering the Now Playing page, I find that if I touch the screen, I don't receive any feedback for about two to three seconds. I have to lift my finger off the screen and wait until I can put it back down to get focus on anything like the play or skip forward button.

Feedback will be necessary
For the app to continue giving us voiceover users a nice experience. The app is still good, but it's kinda weird to navigate now.
