Podcast Player App - Castro

Find Shows, Stories, & More

Published by: Bluck Apps

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.
• 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.

Queue tab stuck on filter

Edit: downloads keep failing … Wow. This is probably the first time an app I use frequently got a major UI update that didn’t piss me off (I started using Castro because I hated the Apple Podcasts overhaul), I really like the new tabs that help organise episodes better. Missing feature that I’m still waiting for is being able to search for specific podcast episodes in Discover.

Don’t know the detail contents

Is there a feature to skip the ending (similar to skip Intro)?

Used to be the best but...

I loved using the app but recently it has become so not friendly. The sounds can’t be played normally until you quit the app and re-enter. Some episodes are missing while I can find them on other apps. What’s wrong with it???

UI not intuitive but I am sticking with it

Castro stands out with unique features - my favourite being the ability to skip chapters by unselecting them from the chapter listing (which you can get to by tapping on the chapter name during playback). My personal wishes - multi-platform, web player, faster watch sync.

Amazing App

The Queue feature is the one feature that is keeping me from not using other ‘better’ free podcast apps

Getting more and more buggy.
