Similar to Internet RadioBox, CastCatcher is also an interface app that provides a clean, easy to use, way to access a variety of Internet radio stations. It cannot, however, hold a candle to RadioBox.
CastCatcher arrived with seven stations preset. While you can add any number of additional stations, you need to manually add the URL for each. Unlike its main competitor, there is no search function available. This alone makes it a distant second. In fact, it makes actually using the app not much of an advantage over using Safari to directly access a station.
All this goes to say… Maybe i am missing something but I’m not quite sure what the purpose of this app is and why I would spend actual money for it.
Thanks but no thanks.
Learning curve– low but having to look up the URL for new stations is a pain
Who is it for– not me due to the inconvenience of adding new stations.
Would I buy again– no
Final thought. If you want easy access to internet radio get radiobox.
CastCatcher features:
- Stream shoutcast streams (pls) directly to your iPhone or iPod touch
- Comes with several stations preloaded
- Add your favorite streams to the list
- Automatic reconnect on connection failure
- Works over Wifi, 3G, and Edge (if the stream is of low bit rate)
