Customer Reviews
A good show with one annoyance
The content and the guests are quite good with the exception of one semi-regular with initials KG…. but, my problem with this podcast is that, while the host does his job moderating the flow, I feel he overdoes it, often interrupting guests to get the flow of the show moving … I feel it’s counter-productive to do this so eagerly. Slow down, David… give the guests time to make their points!
Best IOS
Love the podcast. Keeps me informed on the IPhone and updates and news. Also has good app recomendations.
Facts, fun
Dave provides a great mix of projected iOS-related products, news about iOS problems, good banter with his guests and even some historical perspective on Apple’s history. Good pacing, never boring
