CASTRO 3

We rebuilt the player engine from scratch. The app is much faster to start playing when streaming and the controls are much more responsive.
The player screen has a new cleaner, simpler layout.
Star the current episode from the player by double tapping the artwork.
Easily access AirPlay controls from the player screen.
Use the new Apple Watch App to control playback and choose new episodes from the queue to play.

Castro 3 is a free app, but everyone who paid for Castro 2 continues to have access to Enhance Voices and Night Mode forever.

CASTRO PLUS FEATURES
“Castro Plus” is an optional subscription to unlock a range of advanced player features. There are quarterly and yearly options, and both include a one week trial.

Trim Silence — With this option on, the app will analyze audio as it plays to detect silent parts and accelerate those parts. This means listeners can get through more episodes faster.
Mono-Mix — Mixes a stereo podcast to mono, which makes it easier to hear podcasts that pan some guests on left/right channels.
Chapter skipping and selection (in episodes that include chapters).
Shows Chapter and Episode Artwork (in episodes that include them).
Episode Limit lets users specify what number of episodes of each podcast to keep — I use this with The Daily so that I can auto-queue and keep the most recent one without getting overwhelmed if I don’t listen for a few days in a row.
Set a start position for episodes of each podcast; this is useful for skipping intros / promos at the starts of episodes on podcasts that use them regularly.
Customize player settings per-podcast: Episode Limit, Trim Silences, Enhance Voices, Mono Mix, Skip Intros, Playback Speed
