Castro Podcast Player - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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.

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.

• 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.

Great app for podcasts

I have started listening to podcasts just a while ago. It has now turned into a habit, Castro’s interface is crisp, and easy to use. It has tons of settings that suit ones’ listening habits and comfort. Also the newly designed UI looks so great and makes sorting out and segregation of episodes so damn easy.

Almost the best !

Hello Devs, Castro is almost the best podcast app out there. But It could be the best. Please fix how you guys handle urls in show notes. And please add support for time stamps. For me there are the two things stopping me from giving a 5star. Thanks

Error

I’ve been a long-standing admirer of Castro. But today I’m getting this error and I am not able to sync apple podcasts with castro. Error shows: account creation failed. Received a status code 500…….

4 STARS / Missing a feature

This is by far the best app for listening to podcasts. It has amazing UI, smooth animations, and rich notifications. This would be a complete app if it included a bookmark feature. There’s no other app that provides this and ofc the key feature that every podcast listener is looking for.

Repeating audio

All of a sudden whenever I add a new podcast, the audio starts repeating itself every 3 secs. Fixes itself on restart. But comes back again. Very annoying. I don’t want to switch to another app. Please fix asap!

Great app for podcasts

Easily the best podcast app

I've used Spotify, Breaker etc. Castro is intuitive and beautiful.

Review
