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.

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.

CASTRO PLUS SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
Castro Plus costs $24.99 per year. Prices are in US dollars and may vary in countries other than the US.

You can switch between the two subscription periods after you pick one, but your trial period will end immediately if you do, so it's best to wait till your free week is over before changing.

Best podcast app

Can’t beat how painless it is to select what goes into the queue.

Not working anymore

Castro has stopped working for me. No search, no downloads, no nothing. Have reinstalled it and restartet the phone but for nothing. Please fix it!

Subscribed but lost privileges

I’m a subscriber but lost all the feats of my subscription, and now these guys want to sell me a $35-40 per year subscription! Please someone take away their crack pipes

Keep coming back to this for its flexibility. Lack multiple manually curated playlists

Great app

Audinho on

... and worth its price if you are serious about podcasts. I also love sideloading mp3/audio files of all sorts.

I don't think I need any other app even though the wish list of features could certainly have been long. The most important thing for me is the possibility of a queue that always starts up again from where I left off. And since the queue feature is so tidy, you can even add episodes from shows you don't subscribe to and still have control. Recommended!

Great app for podcasts

PetterHS on

Norway

Only thing missing for me is being able to mark episodes as played.

Excellent

Fantastic. Easy to navigate. Great design.

Craps out when streaming

tenthumbs on

Norway

Too often I Castro fails streaming(short timeout?), and I have to go look for my episode in the “library” instead of being offered to resume where it failed to stream. I still subscribe because of the chapter selection feature, which is great, and have a really nice ui. The rest of app navigation is a string of endless annoyances and hard to hit touch targets and unintuitive app navigation.

Beste podcast-spilleren jeg har brukt!

Krute on

Norway

Oversiktlig og ryddig, lett å legge til episoder i kø, og å endre rekkefølgen😄👍🏻 Også lett å finne hvilke podcaster man abonnerer på, og finne nyeste (og gamle) episoder av hvert show! Som sagt, beste av alle spillerene jeg har brukt, og det var mange(!), men nå har jeg holdt meg til castro i laaaang tid😄 Inget behov for å bytte!
