Today, Supertop is proud to release Castro 1.5, a free update to our podcast app that adds some great iOS 9 and iPhone 6S features. We’re also excited to announce that the app is now completely free.
The first episode of Behind The App, a special series of Myke Hurley’s Inquisitive podcast, aired last week. Relay FM has taken tech podcasts in a new direction with this production, one that will be familiar to listeners of NPR or Radiotopia. Clips from interviews with a range of developers are carefully edited together, with narration and music, to form the story Myke wants to tell. The first installment focusses on the introduction of the iPhone and the early stages of app development for the platform.
9to5Mac reported today that the next version of iOS is going to focus on stability and optimization. If this is true, and it certainly seems possible, now is an especially good time for developers to submit bug reports to Apple.
After writing my post about how podcast apps handle explicit ratings, I spent some time making sure that the feature I wanted hadn’t arrived quietly in iOS 8. I admit that this is not the ideal order in which to do one’s research.
