“New podcast listening app for iPhone, with an elegant, simple interface. I don’t recall ever seeing a playback/scrubbing interface quite like Castro’s, and it’s really good.”
— John Gruber, Daring Fireball

“Personally speaking, Ive found my new podcast app of choice.”
— Richard Devine, iMore

The Financial Times crowned Castro the "Best Designed App for Listening to Serial".

“This app is great. It’s a new entrant into the iOS podcasting space, but it shouldn’t be seen that way. It’s a very functional app in a visually impressive package.”
— Benjamin Mayo, 9to5mac

“Castros a fantastic podcast app”
— Lifehacker

Genial

Meiner Meinung nach die beste Podcast-App überhaupt. Leider ohne Unterstützung von Kapiteln. Schade, so für mich nicht dauerhaft nutzbar.

The best.

THE BEST. Best.

Diggin it!

I really enjoy the app, and it is visually stunning. The only comment I can make is the lack of playlist support or some way to control whichever plays next. Other than that, a great app, and will keep my eyes peeled for Castro 2.

control

Is there a way to turn the sound off or to change it ?

Impressive

Great and original design. The new slider is pure genius. Wishlist: 2 options Sort episodes oldest first. Automatically play next episodes (from the chronological episodes list).

Beau mais inutile

Impossible dimporter ses podcast depuis l app dApple Impossible de chercher des épisodes de podcast Impossible de lire les vidéo podcasts Impossible de créer des playlists Bref, beau mais largement inférieur à l app d Apple. Dommage.

Pas de video

Il manquerait une optimisation pour les podcasts video qui ne peuvent pas être lus depuis lapplication !
