Works fine, but how did a sleep timer get overlooked?

Good app, but would be so improved by adding a few things: A sleep timer would be huge! Right now, it just keep playing and playing, eventually waking you up if you fall asleep listening to an episode. Remember where I left off in an episode. Would love the ability to download episodes to my phone. Update: Now the app remembers where I left off, but I’m unable to play any other episode! If I click on a new podcast, it keeps jumping back to where I left off in the previous episode. Really annoying. Show more

Buggy when skipping forward/backward. Stops and goes a handful of times. Close the app, restart, and try again. Update: Also have to turn phone off and back on to play a different podcast track. Playback timer no longer works. Can no longer skip forward or backward within a track. Almost useless app now. Show more

I am BEGGING you (whomever that may be) PLEASE fix it so your place in a given episode is saved if you have to pause. I listen to The Confessionals while working and if I have to pause to take a call, my episode restarts from the beginning. Makes it almost not worth paying to be a member or supporter for podcasts.

Crashes when attempting to play any new content.

I use spotify, rokfin and now this app. This is the only app i have issues loading episodes. Downloaded this app to listen to “the confessionals”, constant issues trying to play episodes. Sometimes closing the app and trying again works, sometimes it doesnt. Canceling membership for the confessionals. Show more

The volume level is significantly lower on this app compared to other podcast apps

No sleep timer and does not save where you left off.

Not accessible for Deaf/HoH people. Should’ve added transcript features.

Those old reviews are clearly out of date. Working beautifully for private podcasts. Had no issues logging in with the simple code sent.

Does exactly what it’s advertised to do. However, When I try to log into Castos on multiple devices (same Apple ID, iCloud, etc) it doesn’t work. I’m immediately logged out of one and into the other. Kind of a bummer Show more

Can’t get past the log in screen it is froze.

Okay, I am grateful for an app designed around only doing what it purports to do, and not to be a data collecting Trojan Horse for advertisers. But, there are a few things that would be really helpful to make this a stand out product 1) Let me download the podcasts in the app so I can listen to them on planes or when out of cellphone range. There is apparently an arduous process of downloading from the website, but haven’t successfully accomplished that. 2) Automatically save my place in the podcast instead of going back to the beginning each time a want to restart.

Came here to update my review. Since the update it is working great again and I was able to log in! Thanks

A great way to share information securely with my audience. Has a nice design and it’s easy to use.

I really like how the app filters between played and unplayed. Simple to download, simple to use. Love how episodes auto play.

After an initial snafu with logging in that they fixed, the updated app has been wonderful.

Worked good the first time I tried it. Now it won’t let me login because it sent a code to my email that I have yet to receive after a week of resending multiple times. Show more

Passwordless login is a fad and needs to stop. It’s neither convenient nor is it anywhere close to a good user experience. When the email services won’t send a login code (yep, I checked my spam filter), I can’t use this app. Ironically, I have my username and password but I can’t login to my own Castos account. Might want to get some tests and observability around your services. This is a pretty bad fail. Show more

I somehow got logged off the app maybe with a recent update. I try to log in with email so that I can get the code and no email is ever sent. I checked spam and everywhere else at least 10 times. I deleted the app and tried the whole thing all over again only to fail. No Bueno! Show more
