User Reviews

Users love AppleInsider for its broad Apple coverage and the podcast’s informative, engaging content, with many citing it as a long‑standing, trusted source. However, recurring issues across reviews center on app reliability (frequent loading errors and blank screens), a controversial redesign that hurts navigation and discoverability, and business model frustrations ( steep subscription price increases and value concerns). Additional complaints include intrusive ads/promos, notification spam, and accessibility/UI problems (small fonts on iPad, awkward layouts). Overall, the content is valued, but the app experience and pricing are hurting satisfaction.

Pros

Broad range of Apple topics and engaging host chemistry.
Informative and useful podcast content.
Long-standing, trusted source for Apple news that many users rely on.

Cons

Frequent reliability issues with loading articles and blank screens ('problem loading articles' errors).
Steep subscription price increases and perceived lack of value.

Love the show and its wide range of topics. Mike ought to get with the program and buy gas with his Apple Watch. I guess Mobil/Exon doesn’t use NFC technology and so Mike has a lot more steps than us Apple Insiders.

All this talk about too much politics is just shorthand for “I don’t like YOUR politics.” By segregating coverage of the Apple/Politics interface to one segment you’ve done more than enough to meet these snowflakes (as they are fond of calling me) halfway. Keep up the good work. When you mentioned the blowback you’d been getting I subscribed for the first time after listening for many many years. My first listen is always MacBreak Weekly, but that is finished, you’re next. Just love the chemistry between you two. Perfect!

Once this app was amazing and always up to date and now the app fails to load article content. I am always met with the message, “problem loading articles, please check your connection and try again.” This persistent issue makes the app unless for staying updated with the latest news and so I have to fall back on Mac rumors or another outlet not that I don’t like the content from Apple insider but I want the notifications of new updates.
