Kind of a bummer for the odd times I want to jog outside with my watch only.īut yeah, that chapter pre-selection and their queuing system is really working for me lately.

On their Twitter acct (which seems to be virtually inactive lately), they did mention at one point that the watch app is broken and the guy who wrote that part of the app is gone so, no fixes anytime soon. There’s a few reasons I don’t use Castro full time and keep going between it and Pocket Casts. It sounds the best of the three but I really don’t like that the UI on the player screen is only half the screen, and yeah - it fits my flow the worst of the 3 apps. The design is not my thing, I don’t use playlists, and the couple of times I tried it I can’t get it to keep playing after a show ends. Overcast - I never really jived with this app. It saves me having to take my phone out of my pocket every 10 mins to skip ahead. This can be used to skip ads, and any chapters that I may not be interested in. If there is a podcast with chapters (ATP, MPU) I can determine which chapters I want to listen to. The KILLER FEATURE though - chapter pre-selection.

My main app for podcastsĬastro - also has enhance voices, trim silence and has features similar to Pocket Casts. Pocket Casts - Available on many platforms, trim silence (I use MAX), voice boost (I rarely use), great Apple Watch app, iPad app, best web app of the big 3. Without getting into a 12 page opus on my podcast app experiences, I’ll try to sum things up quickly. I’m primarily a Pocket Casts guy though, so they won my vote. I know I mentioned that I’m using Castro in another thread, and that’s true - right now.
