Touchcast iOS Features
A ‘ReCast’ feature has been included on the touch side of the app. This allows recasting of video of various other channels which helps followers in viewing it. It is almost similar to that of a retweet feature. However, on the cast side, users can combine more than one video into a single one. It means, no matter how many takes being captured, user can combine those takes in to a single one. These touch casts then can be merged into one and can be shared with the followers.

The app also has a magnifying glass feature that will help users in searching the touch casts by means of entering a term or hashtag. The app has a separate section where users can store their favorite touch cast videos as bookmarks. The explore section of the navigation inside the app is further classified into all videos, user-made channels, and trending videos.
