Castro, the podcast player app by Supertop, is bold but minimalist by design. It also makes use of gestures for several of its more handy features. If you've been using Castro but haven't poked around enough to find them yet, here's what you need to know.</p> <ul><li>$3.99 - <a href="

You scrub backwards by touching and holding the <strong>grabber</strong> on the bottom right and dragging left. Combined, these two gestures will take you anywhere, in any show.</p> <p><a href='

You can also just <strong>grab the screen and pinch</strong> from anywhere in the app. When you're finished customizing your options, hit <strong>Done</strong> to return to the player.</p> <p><a href='

It'll mark the episode as played, so you can go easily go back and re-listen to any parts you might have missed, but Castro will waits until you play the next episode before deleting the previous one. Just in case.</p> <p>Also, any time you're listening to one episode, you can <strong>swipe down</strong> on the screen to access the list of all episodes. You can also <strong>swipe from left to right</strong> to go back to the listing of all your shows or all previous search results.</p> <p><a href='
