### 1/5 — The app stopped updating stories since July 24Th

*2026-08-02, version 3.4*

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.

### 1/5 — Отсутствует русский язык!!

*2026-07-12*

Добавьте русский язык ! 
Разработчик, заводит заблуждение, списки доступных языков русский язык есть, но после установки приложения он отсутствует ! 
Зачем устраивать политическую пятую точку с руками…

### 1/5 — The app was hacked today

*2026-07-03, version 3.4*

Since this morning the app contain a new icon with a link to a fraudulent link.

### 5/5 — AppleInsider

*2025-11-10, version 3.4*

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.

### 1/5 — Нет Русского языка

*2025-07-19*

Отвратительная версия

### 3/5 — Язык(

*2025-05-29*

Нет Русского языка, как я понял )

### 5/5 — My Goto  2

*2025-04-02, version 3.4*

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!

### 1/5 — Clumsy and confusing

*2025-01-22, version 3.4*

The user interface is cluttered and unintuitive, making navigation frustrating. Hard to see the least news, instead the one picked up by developer are on top, which is not necessarily important

### 1/5 — Cancel culture?

*2024-09-23, version 3.4*

If they don’t like what you said  they close your account. No free speech.

### 1/5 — Content Loading Issues

*2024-05-25, version 3.3*

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.
