## Review summary

Airshow earns praise for its clean, simple design and queue-driven workflow that many users find refreshing. It integrates well with Feedbin, letting subscribers sync feeds and listening progress, and it’s often cited as a solid Castro-style replacement for a lean listening experience. Common critiques focus on missing audio controls (trim silence, more precise speed options, voice boost) and limited feed management (oldest-first, dropping old, finding unlistened). There are occasional bugs and some missing features like episode-level search and Apple Watch support.

### Pros

- Clean, simple design with a well-organized, queue-focused UI.
- Intuitive queue/playlist system that makes managing episodes easy.
- Strong Feedbin integration for syncing subscriptions and listening progress.
- Seen by users as a solid Castro-style replacement for a lean podcasting experience.

### Cons

- Missing audio enhancements/controls (trim silence, finer playback speed options, voice boost).
- Limited feed management features (no oldest-first option, can't drop old unlistened, difficulty finding unlistened).
- Occasional bugs and reliability issues (hangs when adding a new show, blank screens, refresh problems).
- No episode-level search and limited per-podcast playback customization.
- No Apple Watch support.
