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.
• 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.
Castro Plus is charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. It will renew on the day before the current subscription period ends. You can cancel auto-renewal any time from the Castro settings screen.
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.
Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

Notes et avis
Love the UI&UX, but missing features
This is the best podcast player I’ve used—feature-rich, very customisable, easy to use, and looks great. The subscription prices are also reasonable (the annual subscription is at the max. end of reasonable). I switched from Overcast because Castro has Overcast’s two best features (Voice Boost, and Smart Speed), AND a superior UX that is actually intuitive.
However, after a few months with Castro, I’m returning to Overcast because Castro is missing some important features I really need:
-“Mark as played” function on episodes
-Playlists: so we can create curated collections of episodes
If Castro would at least have playlists, I’d come back to it in a heartbeat.
Buggy and bad sync
There's a lot of things to like about the Castro app on iPhone including plenty of flexibility and a decent interface. The problem is unreliability. The Apple Watch app is incredibly buggy, will cut in and out, switching from one episode to another at random, deleting epsiodes a few seconds after they start . . . etc. I've e-mailed the developer a couple of times and gotten a pretty blasé response saying he knows it's buggy. That would be fine for an app in beta, but not one with a paid subscription. I'm switching back to a different app for now.
devi’s rude
Dev only wants to take your money, and dump you. DO NOT PURCHASE. No support, no help, and rude customer communication. Unbelievable. Not to mention the app is more expensive than their superior competitors.
