Description
Castro is a beautiful, full-featured podcast player that makes it easy to track and manage lots of podcasts at the same time. Only listen to the episodes you want and easily skip the rest, queue up hours of podcasts at a time and enjoy a seamless listening experience with carplay compatibility, chapter support, trim silence and much, much more!
HOW IT WORKS
1. New episodes land in the NEW tab. Read their descriptions, add episodes you like to your QUEUE, and clear the rest.
2. Press play to listen to episodes from your QUEUE in order. Queued episodes are downloaded automatically.
3. Re-order your QUEUE to plan your next few hours of listening at any time. Browse your LIBRARY to review the back catalogue, quickly access starred shows, and see your listening history.
Subscribing to a podcast is no longer a commitment to listen to every episode. You don’t have to manage a huge list of subscriptions or choose a few shows and miss the rest.
WHY OUR USERS LOVE CASTRO
• Drag and drop podcasts to plan your listening with Castro’s unique queue
• An elegant dark mode and thoughtfully designed sleep timer offer the best in night time podcast listening.
• CarPlay support makes it easy to pick up where you left off while driving.
• Apple Watch app to control playback and select another episode from your queue.
• Episode notifications include a summary of the episode to help you decide if it interests you. Play, queue or clear the episode directly from the notification without opening the app.
CASTRO PLUS
Castro Plus is an optional paid subscription available for $24.99/year (includes a one-week trial). Plus unlocks a range of advanced features:
• Trim Silence — With this option on, the app will analyze audio as it plays to detect silent parts and accelerate those parts. Get through more episodes faster.
• Enhance Voices improves the listening experience for many podcasts and makes it easier to hear in loud environments. Under the hood, Enhance Voices applies a dynamic compressor to increase volume just where it’s needed.
• Sideloading: Import audio files directly, just by dropping them in iCloud Drive
• Mono-Mix — Mixes a stereo podcast to mono, which makes it easier to hear podcasts that pan some guests on left/right channels.
• Chapter Support: Artwork, Skipping & Pre-selection.
• Custom settings per-podcast: Episode Limit, Trim Silence, Enhance Voices, Mono Mix, Skip Intros, Playback Speed.

Simple, beautiful, perfect
This Podcast App really has it all. It’s the first Podcast App, I don‘t get lost in the UI. It‘s simple, beautiful, yet has all the necessary features. And the new Backup/Restore feature alone is reason enough to buy this well crafted app.
Does not work well with the apple watch
I love the app more than any podcast app but the syncing on apple watch takes forever and episodes often do not download.
Somebody Finally Solved the Podcast Problem!
The standard Apple Podcasts app was an absolute nightmare of confusion, so I tried all the top podcasts app in the AppStore. Castro frankly stood out as a clear winner thanks to its many features and above all how it solves podcast and episode management. There are tabs at the bottom that function as follows: 1. 'Search' tab: search and discover podcasts 2. 'Library' tab: Podcasts you've subscribed to appear here 3. 'Inbox' tab: Individual podcast episodes from your subscriptions are added here and can be added to your.. 4. 'Queue' tab: Here you can queue, move and remove episodes to your liking. And this system is where the app really shines. Somebody clearly thought User Experience through and designed an intuitive and functional way to consume podcasts! To top it all off, the app is stable, the design is gorgeous and functional, the drag and drop feature is cool and intuitive, the sharing options are genius, seriously I could keep on going.. Honestly I didn't even need the premium features, but you guys have done such an amazing job here I wanted to show some support! This is how podcasts should be consumed and enjoyed. To the designers and developers, thank you for finally solving podcasts!
Does not load podcasts properly
The app has weird bugs and glitches all the time. I can’t play a full podcast without problems.
Siri integration glitches all the time!
Siri integration glitches all the time!
High Quality Player
A very polished podcast player, and I would really like to like it more, but the Inbox/Queue management just doesn't work for me.
Sehr schöne GUI
Leider ist das Premium Feature etwas teuer.
The best app for podcast so far..
I enjoy the easy search, the useful UI (carmode would be a good feature) and they feature German PC as well.
Excellent App
I used to use the default iPhone podcast app. Switching to Castro was like going from night to day. It uses simple, e-Mail like organization tools to help you delete unwanted episodes and keep the best stuff lined up.
