Sleep Timer Tips
Castro includes a sleep timer feature that can pause playback after a set period so that you can fall asleep while listening without accidentally playing through the full episode while you sleep.
Activating
Activate the sleep timer from the player controls:
- On the left side of the black player bar at the bottom of the screen, tap the up arrow icon to open the player controls.
- Near the top of the play controls screen, find the bar that starts with a ZZZ icon.
- Tap 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes to set the timer duration.
- If an episode is currently playing when you set the timer, it’ll start counting down immediately; otherwise, it’ll start counting down as soon as you press play.
Extending
- When the timer expires, the audio will fade out.
- If you press play again within 60 seconds, the sleep timer will extend. A computer voice will tell you that it has been extended.
- If you pause and resume with 60 seconds remaining, the timer will extend too.
- You can also manually move the slider to set the sleep timer to a different interval.
See how much time remains
- The time remaining will be displayed in Control Centre and on the lock screen.
Cancelling the Sleep Timer
- If you wish to cancel the sleep timer so that Castro won’t pause, drag the sleep timer slider back to 0.
