The "On the Go" playlist lets you pick the episodes you want to listen to in your next listening session and assemble them in a playlist just before leaving. The On the Go playlist will mantain the same order in which the episodes were added. You can then move and rearrange them manually. As soon as an episode has been completely listened to it will be automatically removed from the On the Go playlist. You will always find your On the Go playlist synced on all your devices.

Best UI

I think this app has by far the best UI of any of the podcast 2.0 apps out there. 4 stars because there is no functionality for live shows.

Great podcast player, background crashes since v9.0.0

I’ve been using Castamatic since a few years now and overall it’s a great podcast app.

Unfortunately I’ve been experiencing a lot of background crashes while playing podcasts since v9.0.0. It suddenly stops playing (because it crashed in the background) and I have to relaunch the app to start playing again. After this the crash usually doesn’t happen again until at least a few hours after I’ve stopped playing a podcast and resume playing again.

Declining

So having more and more issues lately with the app. URL are not more clickable in podcast show notes. And some podcast are audio files not supported, I have to listen to those podcasts on my Apple Podcast app. It’s not really worth the subscription money if I need a backup player app.

Reactie van ontwikkelaar ,

Hello Techinput. Thank you for your review. Links in shownotes should be clickable, but in some cases Castamatic cannot recognize their format. If you can point me to podcasts that show this issue I'll be glad to debug the issue. Just send an email to info AT castamatic DOT com ora a Tweet to @castamatic.
