### 5/5 — Best of the Best!!!!!!

*2017-07-23*

I listen to a lot of different podcasts. Mac Geek Gab is my favorite. Dave and John's knowledge by far supersedes anyone else I know. If you have a question 99.9% of the time they got a answer. Regardless whether or not you are a paid subscriber they will answer your question and do their best to help you.
Anytime anybody asks me for a recommendation on a Mac podcast, my go to podcast and number one recommendation is Mac Geek Gab!!! Dave and John are true Mac Masters!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Love the alarm!!!

*2016-04-02*

This is a great little app for fans of the podcast. I especially like the alarm that alerts right before the podcast pre show begins.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2016-03-08, version 2.4.1*

This app makes the listening,  commenting and asking my favourite Geeks questions and of course getting answers.

### 5/5 — Knowledgeable, articulate, funny!

*2015-11-20*

Excellent information delivered in a light fun manner with two (sometimes 3) hosts who are easy to listen to as they provide timely intelligent and sound advice.

### 5/5 — Geeking out at its best,

*2015-11-08, version 2.4*

This app is Top Notch! Comparing this app & podcast to others is like comparing Apples to Droids, Lol Really though cannot recommend this app enough.

### 5/5 — Love it but...

*2015-09-22, version 2.3.1*

Awesome but add support for iOS 9 please

### 5/5 — packed with useful information

*2015-07-26*

I listen on one device so that I can have my mac freed up to get software and followup on tips.

### 5/5 — Exercise For My Brain

*2015-04-13*

I have learned so much from listening to this podcast that I became a Prime Member.

Please keep taking me to school!

### 5/5 — Newcomer and loving MGG

*2014-10-24*

What a great way to get consistent quality information to answer your questions grow your Geekness!

One thing, did I miss it or is there an iPad version or only iPhone layout?

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great podcast, great app

*2014-09-01, version 2.0*

Thanks guys, I've been a IT Manager fro 14 years manly been windows based but over the last 2 year fell in love with apple. And now finding your app/podcast learn so much and found really great apps. Thank you. Keep up the great work

### 5/5 — More Chances to Learn and Enjoy

*2014-08-29*

Those familiar with the MGG Podcast already know that it is far and away the best Apple related deal in town. The hosts somehow bridge the gap between experienced users and newcomers and keep listeners excited to learn. In the new App the experience is extended to whenever you want to benefit more from the discussions. You seamlessly navigate around the web and back to MGG learning all along the way. And like the show, it’s fun. Get it and USE it and see what happens!

### 5/5 — One of the best ways to listen and interact

*2014-08-22*

Love this app!!! One of my favorite ways to listen to and interact with MacGeekGab podcast. Hands-down my favorite podcast of them all. Once you have listened to MacGeekGab, you will see why too. Very useful in recording voice comments and responses/questions to the show. Love this app!

### 5/5 — Best way to consume MGG

*2014-08-19*

Fantastically designed app that is simply the best way to consume the MGG show that we all love. Especially the feedback feature.... perfect!

### 5/5 — Very convenient, especially for live show!

*2014-08-18*

Even if you use a podcast app, this is a great way to listen live and chat along with other Mac Geek Gabbers. Well worth the $$$.

### 5/5 — Better than Podcasts app

*2014-02-24, version 1.4.1*

Need to be a bit geeky to use the app properly. 
Could be better laid out but far better than using Apples Podcasts app

Great guys to improve your apple knowledge base. And associated bits on the side.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unstable under iOS 12.3

*2019-06-05*

Five stars for the podcast content.
One star app stability
Constant crashes and audio errors.

### 1/5 — Last Update Fail

*2019-04-09*

The last update causes an instant crash on opening. Tried all the usual fixes, no joy.  It’s you not me, fix this to get your stars back.

### 2/5 — The phone app version is broken

*2026-05-12*

The desktop version works great! But the phone version is lacking. I can’t seem to download your earlist versions. The desktop version worked fine. Also those downloads made on the desktop version didn’t transfer to my phone, as I hoped they would. Hope this is fixable. I’d bump up the rating.

### 2/5 — Old episodes crash app

*2026-03-24*

I’ve tried listening to some of the earliest episodes, and the app constantly crashes. 
I have an iPhone 15 Plus, with the latest iOS. Any suggestions?
Love the podcast, but the app needs work.

### 2/5 — Amnesia

*2016-10-10*

This latest version doesn't remember the place where you stopped listening.  Even after just a few minutes after stopping playback, it returns to the beginning of the podcast.  And it's also marked every episode from the beginning of time as unplayed.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear this, WorkingMacs! I believe this has been fixed in our latest update, but please let us know if it hasn't.

### 2/5 — Very disappointing. Needs work!

*2012-10-29*

Content of this podcast is "must listen" if you are into Apple products and services. But this app is ... Well, don't bother! Needs a lot of work. Content does not always display. Crashes constantly. UI is not intuitive. I suggest you keep your cash until they figure this out. Which they will!

### 4/5 — Very handy

*2013-06-18, version 1.3*

I bought this app to support MGG first & foremost.

I think the best feature by far is how easy it makes it to interact during the live show, I know there are other ways of doing this but the GUI using this app makes it so much more enjoyable .

Using the app also lets you leave the live chat to use other apps etc while still being able to listen to the audio, great feature.

The only reason that stops it getting 5 stars from me.

• No auto-correct, which is always handy when typing on a iPhone with fat fingers.

### 5/5 — Has this App become a legacy item?

*2024-09-23, version 2.8*

The MGG podcast is great and a must on my weekly schedule, but the app is now 2 years old and watching on YouTube is better for me. No longer fond of the app but wouldn’t miss the show.

### 5/5 — 2023 Review

*2023-02-27*

I used to listen to these guys back in 2015. Fell out of date and running on old Apple products. I’m back and let me tell you this App has came a VERY long way!! This App knocks it out of the park! It has been totally catalogued, you can bookmark any section and add your own bookmark title to it for a later time. Finding show notes and links is super simple. If it’s a article or product you’re just a few clicks away. John, Dave & Pilot Pete have a great dynamic. If it’s Apple it’s here.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2022-09-13*

I learn something new every time I listen to Mac Geek Gab. It is very informative and I appreciate the fact it is non political.

### 5/5 — This is the first podcast I listen to each week!

*2021-03-28*

If your new to Mac's then you really need to get your Geek on here!  The show is awsome and the podcast posted on their website gives the the information/links to these great tips and cool stuff found!

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2020-11-07, version 2.7.1*

The Mac Geek Gab with John and Dave or Dave and John after 13 or so years of listening since episode 1 nothing comes close.. Just remember ‘Don’t get caught’

### 5/5 — Nothings a problem

*2019-10-31, version 2.7.1*

... Only an opportunity to learn
This is their motto and they live by it. Helping you with your problems if you need and in doing so helping us to learn how to fix or avoid the problem. 
 
5 years a follower of their show and I am also very impressed that their app never has any issues.

### 5/5 — Totally fantastic.

*2019-05-16, version 2.7.1*

I have been an avid listener for about 4 years now. I can say with 100% confidence, this is my favourite pod cast and one that makes my drive into work less tedious. The guys have a wonderful dynamic with each other and manage to explain some of the more technical/ geeky stuff that is just at the right level. It isn’t lowered to a patronising level and yet you don’t have to be a computer engineer or developer to follow along. I can recommend this for all mac and apple product owners that want to spend circa 90 mins a week in a jacuzzi of thoughts and geeky Mac bubbles. A total winner for me. Keep it up guys!! And thanks for all the shows so far.

### 5/5 — Brilliant podcast

*2019-05-07, version 2.7.1*

I’ve been listening to this podcast for several years. It’s one of the most informative about the technical aspects of Macs and IOS. I particularly like the tips and that I do learn things in every episode. The troubleshooting is also so helpful as I’ve been able to refer back when needed. Overall highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Learn at least 5 new Mac things every week

*2019-04-29, version 2.7.1*

Seriously, I’m a professional Mac support person and I use this podcast, as well as the associated community forum, to learn new macOS and iOS things every week. Also they do an index of show notes to search back through their history. Bonus - you can send in your own questions!

### 5/5 — Great podcast

*2019-04-10*

I have been listening to John & Dave for years. 
I learn a lot from this show. The hosts are friendly, funny at times and very geeky 🤓 
Thanks guys 😎👍🏻
