We loved the new Castro podcasting app in our recent review, but our main beef with the app was with the lack of non-iTunes subscription support. In previous versions of Castro, there was no way to manually add feed URLs from podcasts that aren't listed in iTunes. This meant that shows like Let's Talk Jailbreak, which are not on iTunes, couldn't be played via Castro.
The good news is that Supertop, the developers behind Castro, didn't let this glaring omission go on for too long. The team has just pushed Castro version 1.0.2 to the App Store, and with it comes the ability to subscribe to podcasts directly from URLs. The update includes quite a few more additions to the app as well; check inside for the full change log.
The surprise release of the iOS 7 jailbreak is the hot topic on this special episode of Let's Talk Jailbreak. Cody, Sebastien, and Jeff discuss all of the details regarding Evasi0n7 untethered jailbreak, and what it all might mean.
Sebastien, Jeff, and Cody get together to talk about the latest news concerning the iOS 7 jailbreak. The trio talks about the cash reward being offered for an open source jailbreak, claims that a jailbreak was recently swiped from the team working on it, the upcoming JailbreakCon event, our most wanted jailbreak tweaks for iOS 7, and much more.
Episode 007: Carrier talk dominates this week's discussion. We discuss new unlocking policies put into place, the iPhone 5s and 5c's sales, Sprints potential acquisition of T-Mobile, the dying carrier subsidy model and more. We also chit-chat about the best productivity and fitness apps of 2013 and talk about iPad Air regrets.
There's no shortage of podcasting apps on the App Store. The growing popularity of podcasting directly correlates to the large amount of podcasting apps we see surfacing. Already, we have apps like Apple's official Podcasts app, Instacast, Downcast, Pocket Casts, and that's just naming a few. Even Podcasting networks like Mule Radio Syndicate—home of popular podcasts like John Gruber's The Talk Show, and 5by5, the fruitage of podcasting pioneer, Dan Benjamin—have created their own dedicated podcasting apps.
So when a new app enters this arena it better be good. No, scratch that; it better be outstanding. That's the only way that newcomers will be able to gain traction in this ever-growing and uber-competitive market.
It helps to start with a catchy name. Castro—the creation of Supertop's Padraig Kennedy and Oisin Prendville—starts out on the right foot in this regard. Its name is the type of play on words that makes itself instantly recognizable, even amongst the podcasting app mainstays listed above. But Castro is more than just a good name; it's a good app, too.
If you've been having trouble finding a podcast client that fits you, you may want to check out Castro. Castro is a beautiful new podcast app for your iPhone that backs up its good looks with powerful features.
I should tell you up front that the app is for iOS 7 users only. You could tell it was designed specifically for the OS, as it's rife with transparent backgrounds, flat UI elements, and a smart, gesture-based interface...
