Customer Reviews
The best TWIT podcast
iOS today carries useful information each week. It avoids long banter on Apple’s social policies that has become the hallmark of MacBreak Weekly. I learn something each show!
Tedious And Tiresome
Mikah, the host seemingly never shuts up or even takes a breath! He supposedly has a co-host but rarely allows her to speak or interject. Plus, he feels the need to frequently interject with some ridiculous woke political comment that is unrelated to the show’s subject. So, because of all this, this podcast is usually tedious and tiresome. Maybe if they set up a Shortcut to mute his mic every five minutes allowing his co-host to interject for just say 60 seconds or so before his mic comes back online, it would be a lot less fatiguing to listen to. They should consider that!
Rosemary is great, Mikah should be replaced
It is an interesting show, and she is a wonderful host. She is smart, knows what she’s talking about with this OS and is a problem solver trying to help everyone.
He tries to be cool and makes terrible jokes and puns, and brings no worth to the show. I question how much he knows about iOS other than he can use the phone.
I preferred it when Leo was part of the show; he at least wanted to help people and worked well with Rosemary.
