Very nice!!!

**Update for version 1.5.4.

Still enjoying Castro. But it seems that theres something going on with the caching. App size is only 5mb. But total size with Documents/Data is about 500mb. I have close to 20 podcast subscriptions, but it didnt seem to operate this way in version 1? Hoping for good things when version 2.0 hits! I also hope they settle on a payment option. I paid for version 1, then it went free/patronage after Overcast did it. Now its back to free and version 2 will be paid. Id rather pay a larger sum up front and not have to see things asking me to donate more within the app, ruining the UI.

Very happy with my purchase of Castro. The UI is beautiful and the use of swiping to navigate throughout the app is smooth and enjoyable. I especially like the fact that I can set either global or individual settings for auto or manually downloading podcast episodes. This is something I hated when I tried Overcast. Overcast would automatically download every new episode with no options to do it manually. This is very annoying when you have podcast subscriptions where you dont necessarily want to listen to every new episode. With Castro, I can pick and choose how this goes.

A couple things Id like to see:

1) Ability to save settings/subscriptions just in case you need to delete and reinstall the app.

2) Notification badges.

3) Better search and suggestions. The search is quick, but could use an easier way for new podcast discovery.
