Castro is a beautifully designed, fully-featured and critically acclaimed podcast player that makes it easy to listen to podcast episodes that are most interesting to you. Castro has been the top podcast player for people who love podcasts since 2013. Castro’s unique Inbox feature helps you queue up and download specific episodes you care about and easily skip the rest. Queue up hours of podcasts and enjoy a seamless listening experience across your devices, including Apple Watch and Carplay support. Looking for more advanced features? Castro Plus adds many additional options and customization, and supports future development of the app. WHY CASTRO IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PODCAST APPS 1. New episodes land in the INBOX tab. Read episode descriptions and 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. The best part? Subscribing to a podcast is no longer a commitment to listen to every episode. Instead, manage your podcasts like your email inbox, and skip episodes that aren’t of interest to you.
