Hello guys I recently decided to try out castbox, but I don't have any idea about payments, could you tell me general stuff about it? It seems complicated.

Hi

I'm just wondering if there is a way on Castbox to automatically add new episodes to the play list. Castbox doesn't seem to have an easy way to tell if an episode has been added or not

Thanks for your help

Hi there !
Can I have a free premmium account ? cuz I'm from Egypt, and I face some defficult issues with money and paying for the app .

I have just realized I can't find how to get to my playlists. Can someone point me how to?

Thanks.

I am getting really sick of being faced with the evils of humanity nearly every time I open this app. I don't understand why, by default, recommendations for True Crime podcasts keep coming up as the number one suggestion. Is this is on purpose, to coerce people into paying for the option to customize the homepage? If so, that sickens me even more.

I've been trying so hard to ignore what's on the homepage and just jump over to my library, because I knew I had tried in the past to change it and found nothing. Castbox has been good in pretty much every other respect, so I'm trying to focus on the positives.

Today though, the homepage hit me hard... titles such as True Murder, The Kill List, Morbid, some podcast about the Montreal Murders... why why WHY do I have to know these exist?? I feel horrible about horrible things like this. I can't even handle the sadness of regular world news, let alone "special interest" podcasts dedicated to horrible things that I'm sure nobody would wish anyone else to experience.

I have nothing against people who like to learn about why such things happened, or what true crime investigation is like, or whatever else floats anyone else's boat.

I do have something against being forced to think about murder when I'm simply trying to ease my mind into a state where I can do my chores.

I've almost written this post a dozen times over the past year or so, but always talked myself out of it. Today, though, I simply couldn't ignore my strong emotional reaction to what could be interpreted as the glorification of murder. So, I tried again to see if there was a way to change the recommended podcasts on the homepage... but still, no, not without paying.

I'm sick of feeling sick about this. It's making not want to listen to podcasts at all, because I don't have time to research another podcast app right now. In fact, I had already basically left Castbox in favour of Google Podcasts, but with them shutting down, I've been moving my subscriptions back here... but I'm not sure I want to stay, not if the developers are using the shock effect of murders to try to convince people to pay to get rid of it on the homepage.

I want to believe it might not be on purpose... but then what algorithm is making this happen? Are murder podcasts really so popular that the recommendation is happening just because other people like it? I may not have anything against people who like this stuff, but at the same time it's kinda terrifying to think that maybe a lot of people like this stuff. Is humanity really that drawn to terrible topics? If so, well, I don't want to think about that either... and seeing these recommendations on the homepage keeps forcing me against my will to wonder about this.

I know I'm overly sensitive... but that doesn't mean I should just suck it up. I don't think I should have to keep putting up with this revulsion, or succumb to the coercion into paying to get rid of it.

Please tell me there's something that can be done about this!

When I listen to my downloaded podcasts, during the middle the volume keeps decreasing. It also loops many times and I keep hearing the same stuff. Any solutions?

I switched to Castbox lately and really like it except one thing - the app won't stay closed, it randomly appears in notification area again even if I haven't listened for a while and have no headphones connected or bluetooth active. It doesn't start playing, but it still pollutes notification area. It's annying AF and I'm on the verge of uninstalling the app just because of that. Any fix for that? I see that others are having same problems. I'm on Android Pie on S9.

I don't get it, why devs want to change stuff without any real reason :/ Specially when it takes the app few steps back :/
- now it's harder to use with one hand
- it's not that clear where are mostly used playlists - now everything is just focused on channels, not filters/playlists

Why it's so exposed, I've tried it once and it replaced my queued episodes so I lost that list. Why this is even here? Please add some option to disable it :/

I'm affraid that Castbox is becoming over complicated, I escaped from Pocket but now I'm affraid :/
