The media have also undergone major changes in recent years due to the emergence of portable media. The paper press is the most affected by this fact since currently, most of the newspapers in our country are available in apps or free digital versions that end the physical limitations of traditional media and that, also, thanks to social networks, allow more interaction.
However, we also find apps released by TV channels or stations that allow us to enjoy most of its programming from our tablets and smartphones and access exclusive content that we cannot normally find in traditional broadcasts. This is the case of CastBox, of which we give you some details below and which aspires to once again transform radio, a medium that has been with us for almost a century.
Operation
CastBox is a database from most radio stations around the world that stores tens of thousands of podcasts topics ranging from general information to sports news, music or interviews. By means of the subscription, we can store all the content we want and at the same time, create lists that will allow us to reproduce when we want all those files.
Other outstanding features
In addition to the base that we have discussed above, CastBox It has other elements such as the possibility to search for podcasts, the option to reproduce the contents in Streaming or modify parameters such as the speed when listening to the audios, a offline mode in which the downloaded files are stored and also, the programming of timers that activate or deactivate the tracks whenever we want.
Free?
This application does not have no initial cost. However, it requires integrated shopping whose price is 2,23 euros per item that may become necessary to be able to enjoy all the functions of CastBox. This has not prevented it from reaching half a million users. However, it is criticized in some aspects such as the difficulty in downloading some podcasts, the requirement to pay to enjoy many features and an excessive presence of advertising.
As you have seen, there are a multitude of media applications that try to transform the way we know better what happens around us, but they have also changed the way we consume them thanks to their adaptation to tablets and smartphones.
