Castro Podcast Player

Plus pricing is ridiculous. 4x the price of similar other apps.

Castro is so much unlike any other podcast app. It completely clicks with my brain in its methodology to triage podcasts in an Inbox/Queue format. It’s design is clean, well thought out, and intuitive in every way. I have been a subscriber for years with no plans to stop! I could not be any more happy that this app is getting the love and care it deserves with frequent updates and improvements! Thanks and keep it up!

Castro opens the podcast experience in a wholly different way so you have freedom to listen to the best. It is the ultimate podcast player.

I am so glad that Castro works again because it really is the best podcast player with the most intuitive design. Thank you for fixing it. I used to love Castro because the functionality and user interface allows me to keep my podcasts organized easily. Now it just doesn’t work. Boo.

I am a paid user. The app is losing functionality as time goes on. 503 errors are becoming more common, and now it’s not updating podcasts anymore. It used to place NPR News Now when a new one would come out at the top of my inbox. I now have to go the the NPR News Now page and manually refresh for it to fetch the latest podcast. Seriously considering cancelling my membership and moving to overcast or something because this app has been getting steadily worse over the past year.

New user to the app for almost a month and have been enjoying the free functionality more than my prior paid app. I like to check in to different podcasts episodes for specific topics and being able to be subscribed to them to see new episodes without all the new episodes filling my queue was a huge issue for me before that Castro easily tackles. Heard about Castro through my Newsworthy podcast and happy so far.

Reliability has been 100% rock solid in my experience over the last few months 😎 I am listening to a podcasts constantly; Castro is a huge part of my iPhone experience. Thanks for making the great app!

Nefarious

Despite initial indications that turned out to be TED sideloading that showed video within the App Store, video-based podcasts don’t appear to be supported.
