New York Times Best App 2016
Castro: Podcast Player is one of the first apps ever designed to help users track their favorite podcasts and focus in on the episodes that are the most appealing to their tastes. The app has introduced a new method of selection known as ‘episode triage’ that is unique among podcast apps.
How Does Episode Triage Work?
Castro: Podcast Player’s episode triage is a new way of selecting the best podcast episodes available. New episodes arrive directly to the user’s inbox with brief descriptions of each episode. The most appealing ones can be selected, and the remaining episodes can be archived for future listening. There is also a functionality that allows users to automatically queue their favorite podcasts. The app has been designed to develop listening habits without congestion playlists, which is carried by the idea that podcast subscriptions doesn’t mean a total commitment to every episode.
Castro: Podcast Player Offers More Options
The Castro app organizes top charts by genre to make it even easier to browse through the most popular shows. A built-in search option allows users to quickly and easily find interesting podcasts, and a recommendation system allows friends to share direct links to great episodes with each other. Castro is also functional through any web browser without the need to download the app.
