Castro, Still Sad But Not Dead

November 28, 2024 at 4:00PM

Not long after my previous post on Castro being dead it was sold and mostly resurrected. I say mostly for reasone I will get into later. However, for its main use case it works well. You can subscribe to podcasts and triage episodes using its one of a kind email style queue and inbox system. If thats the totality of your expectations than all is well.

Of late the app crashes after updates. I end up needing to delete the app altogether then restore my iCloud save. Also, speaking of iCloud save it would be nice if the app disabled sleep while during the restore. Or better yet, why not have the enable iCloud sync so that I can seamlessly switch between devices.

My favorite none-playback feature of all still works very well (if not a little slow). Video sharing allows you to select a snippet of the currently playing episode to share as a video.

Happy Coding ;-)
