August 16, 2016

Castro – Play and Share Podcasts is an iOS app that lets you pick and choose episodes you like and queue them up for playing in the order you want to. If you want a more convenient podcasting experience, this app is definitely worth a look. Price: $4.99.

Castro — Play and Share Podcasts [Features]

Castro Play and Share Podcasts is a completely revised version of Castro. The app’s main focus is triage – the idea is to give you the freedom to sort out the podcasts you want to listen in priority over others.

This feature works using Inbox, where Castro’s servers detect new episodes of your subscribed or favorite shows and places them in a Inbox where you can go to find all the latest episodes that are available for download.

While browsing through the various episodes you can select the ones to want to listen to by adding them to the queue or playing them right away and archiving the rest. The Archive section will display all your subscribed shows. You can search for older episodes, view your starred episodes and complete listening history. The app also lets you set your favorite shows to queue automatically while you can use the Inbox to triage the rest.

Since Castro keeps a chronological list of your played episodes in the History section, its a lot easier for you to find episodes to share with others.

Also, when you star an episode you enjoyed, the starred items will enter the personal podcast hall of fame. This option also makes it easy for you to find your favorite episodes and share them with your friends.
