I’ve been a diehard Overcast user for years, but the new features on Castro are really tempting me.

@craigmcclellan I switched to Castro about a month ago and it’s great. I still have Overcast muscle memory so I’m giving it another month, but triaging podcasts is smart.

@bobschulties I started the trial and love it, but no iPad version and iCloud sync is gonna be a dealbreaker.

@craigmcclellan switched about 2 months ago. Triaging is truly game changing for an avid podcast listener. I'm a barcode fan too, but Castro is just better right now IMHO. AMA...

@craigmcclellan Yes, no iPad is rough. But the speakers on my 8 Plus are loud enough I don’t have trouble. Anyway, if you do give it a go, try for month or so to get used to the interface.

@craigmcclellan I’ll be honest, I was a diehard Overcast user but after feeling overwhelmed with podcasts stacking up I realized the queue system works the best for me.

@craigmcclellan Love me some Castro!

Two biggest benefits I find:

  1. Only on iPhone. I missed sync at first, but it became a nice feature to know that podcasts are here. Period.
  2. Inbox triage. Finally was able to understand that it was 'ok' not to listen to every episode or everything.

(I also really like the interaction design throughout the app!)

@craigmcclellan I decided to give it a go at the start of the week. I really like the inbox, which if kind been mirroring in Overcast anyway.

@craigmcclellan Love Castro ... love triaging ... but iPhone only sucks ... I often hear of things to subscribe to in Mac and iPad ... so save it off to subscribe later... even a web solution might help
