Description:

<p>Castro is a highly capable podcast player that simplifies tracking and managing multiple podcasts simultaneously. It allows users to listen to only the episodes they desire while effortlessly skipping the rest. With features like carplay compatibility, chapter support, trim silence, and much more, it guarantees a seamless listening experience.</p>

<h2>How It Works</h2>

<ol>
  <li>New episodes are displayed in the "NEW" tab. Users can read their descriptions, add preferred episodes to the "QUEUE," and clear the rest.</li>
  <li>By pressing play, users can listen to episodes from their queue in sequential order. Queued episodes are automatically downloaded.</li>
  <li>Users have the flexibility to rearrange their queue at any time, allowing them to plan their next few hours of listening. They can also browse their library to explore the back catalog, access starred shows, and review their listening history.</li>
</ol>

<p>Subscribing to a podcast no longer necessitates committing to listening to every episode. Users can avoid managing an extensive list of subscriptions or missing out on other shows.</p>

<h2>Why Our Users Love Castro</h2>

<ul>
  <li>The unique queue feature allows users to effortlessly plan their listening by dragging and dropping podcasts.</li>
  <li>The elegant dark mode and thoughtfully designed sleep timer offer an exceptional nighttime podcast listening experience.</li>
  <li>CarPlay support enables seamless continuation of playback while driving.</li>
  <li>An Apple Watch app provides playback control and allows users to select another episode from their queue.</li>
  <li>Episode notifications provide summaries that assist users in deciding whether they are interested in a particular episode. From the notification itself, users can play, queue, or clear the episode without opening the app.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Castro Plus</h2>

<p>Castro Plus is an optional paid subscription available at $18.99/year (includes a one-week trial). It unlocks a variety of advanced features, including:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Trim Silence: Analyzes audio in real-time to detect silent parts and speeds up the playback accordingly, allowing users to consume more episodes expeditiously.</li>
  <li>Enhance Voices: Improves the listening experience for many podcasts and makes it easier to hear in noisy environments. By applying a dynamic compressor, it enhances volume where it's needed most.</li>
  <li>Sideloading: Offers the ability to import audio files directly by simply dropping them into iCloud Drive.</li>
  <li>Mono-Mix: Converts stereo podcasts into mono, making it easier to hear episodes with guests panned on different channels.</li>
  <li>Chapter Support: Provides artwork, skipping, and pre-selection options.</li>
  <li>Custom settings per-podcast: Allows users to customize settings individually for each podcast, including episode limit, trim silence, enhance voices, mono mix, skip intros, and playback speed.</li>
</ul>
