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.
Redesign/UX changes that hurt navigation and content discoverability (top stories, featured stories, etc.).
Intrusive ads and promos disrupting reading experience.
Accessibility/UI issues like very small fonts on iPad and awkward layouts.

Recent reviews

Not sure what’s going on, but for some reason, the app no longer refreshes the newsfeed as the stories are still from July 24th. The website, however, still displays up-to-date stories. I confirmed that my son has the exact same issue. It makes the app completely useless right now.

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.
