What’s new
Version 3.5 · Updated October 10, 2026
What’s new in Castawai 5.0 Super Playlist — Home now builds a smart queue from the shows you actually finish. Less digging through feeds; more “press play and keep going.” Expanded Catalog — Install a large local library of recently active shows so search still works when you’re offline or Apple Search isn’t enough. Discover and subscribe without needing a perfect network. Smarter Read Along — Downloaded episodes turn into on-device text you can follow and tap to jump. Transcription queues in the background so the text is ready when you open it—private, on your iPhone. Words on Home — Topic chips from recent releases are clearer and more useful, so you can skim what’s new across your island at a glance. Mini player that stays out of the way — Easier corner chip, resume after restart, and clearer download/stream progress while you browse. CarPlay polish — Faster, clearer drive controls—themes, Now Playing buttons, speed, EQ, and lists that are easier to use without looking away. User Guide as PDF — Export and share (or print) the full guide when you want help outside the app. Playlists & search refinements — Smoother adds, clearer browsing, and more reliable find-a-show flow day to day. Clearer translations — Interface wording fixes across languages so labels and help text read the way they should. Includes Speaker identification and PDF transcript sharing.
