APPS014 Castro Plus

Immer wieder erhalten wir Fragen zur Wahl des richtigen
Podcatchers. Die Antwort ist einfach: Den gibt es nicht, das hängt
viel zu sehr von jeweiligem Anwendungsfall ab. In der heutigen
Folge will ich Castro Plus vorstellen, ein Podcatcher der ein
großes Update erhielt.
Castro ist seit einiger Zeit ein durchaus beliebter Podcatcher, das
Angebot ist kürzlich auf ein Abomodell umgestiegen. Casto punktet
mit einem frischen, eigenem Ansatz und bietet die Möglichkeit auch
lokale Audiodateien hinzuzufügen. Seit Kurzem wird der Sync mit der
Apple Watch unterstützt.

WATCH SYNC IS HERE


All your favorite podcasts on your wrist.


Watch sync frees you up to listen completely untethered from your
iPhone. Whether you’re out on a run, your kids have your phone
during a road trip, or you just want to go phoneless for a while
to minimise distractions, Castro’s Watch Sync has your favorite
shows ready to listen.


QUEUE AUTO SYNC


The magic of Castro is in the queue, a wonderful place to set
your listening on autopilot without clogging your phone with
unwanted downloads. With Queue Auto Sync, Castro mirrors your
listening between devices and automatically has what’s next ready
to listen whenever you need it. You can limit synced episodes to
the next 10, 20, or 30 in your Queue.


Episodes will sync to your watch when you’re on wifi, and will
sync fastest when your watch is charging. You can kick off
syncing any time from Settings > Watch Sync > Sync to Watch
Now


SEND TO WATCH


See an episode in your queue you’d like to take with you? Any
downloaded episode that isn’t already on your watch will have a
Send to Watch button at the ready.


WATCH STREAMING


Not into syncing? Castro can now stream episodes in your queue
straight from the watch over wifi or cellular.


PLAYBACK SPEED


Whether you’re listening on your phone or from your watch you can
now control playback speed from the watch app. Neat.


GET IT NOW


Castro Plus subscribers running iOS 13 and watchOS 6 can get
