Castro 3 arrives on the App Store
Castro, an attractive iOS podcast app with a really cool triage-based interface approach, has been updated to version three. Ryan Christoffel has the details at MacStories:
Castro 3 addresses nearly all of those “one missing feature” requests in a single release. Trim Silence is Castro’s take on Overcast’s Smart Speed; full chapter support is now present, as is a new Apple Watch app; the player screen has been fully redesigned; Mix to Mono improves stereo mixes that are hard to hear; and finally, there are excellent new per-podcast controls in a variety of areas.
Chapters and Trim Silence are huge steps forward; the app has also been repriced. Previously it was a paid app, but now it’s free with a subscription option that unlocks a bunch of the new features.
