    Marco = Cringe
    Listening to Marco is absolute torture. He says “like” more than a teenage valley girl. Deleting this one now.

    10 Year Old Developer here!
    Hey guys, I’m a ten-year old developer running Xcode on a 7-year old computer. Your podcast always motivates me to keep pushing through, and I listen to your episodes AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT. Keep it up!

    Xcode on 5 year old MacBook
    He guys I love your show and you have inspired me to start coding but one problem the most powerful machine I have is a 2015 MacBook Air, and it “runs” Xcode, and by that I mean it launches and allows me to code and what not but when I simulate anything it gets so hot that i got burned from it but if that’s what it takes I’ll do it, again love your show.

    Best IOS Developer podcast
    I’ve been a developer for over 10 years, but just switched to IOS development this year. This podcast has been vital in helping me make the transition. They do a great job of staying focused and talking about the topics around IOS development, without getting too far into the technical details of things that are better left to stack overflow and technical documentation.

    Inspiring & Entertaining
    This is the best iOS Development podcast. It’s really nice that it doesn’t get into the weeds. As an aspiring iOS Developer myself I can understand what they are talking about and learn a lot about independent iOS development and the struggles of coding. I find value in ever episode and love the 30 minute restriction they set on themselves. That don’t sugar coat the struggles they face but talk about them in a very positive way that is encouraging and helpful. They have a very good duo dynamic that makes the podcast flow smoothly and is entertaining. Thank-you for the great podcast. It makes my day when I listen to it.

    Always insightful
    A fascinating look inside the minds of popular iOS developers Marco Arment and Underscore David Smith. Each episode dives into a topic relevant to all kinds of developers. Highly recommended.

    Must-listen for iOS developers
    I'm a big fan of the Overcast app and a big fan of the podcast. I agree with the philosophy that 30 minutes is the perfect length for a podcast episode; at that length, I'll listen to an episode even if it isn't immediately interesting to me. These guys really know what they're talking about, but still manage to keep the podcast in layman's terms so it stays audio-friendly. This is one of my main sources for Apple news, and even though I'm only a hobbyist app developer currently, I look forward to every episode.

    Great except for Marco
    This is a great podcast, except for the fact that it has Marco. He’s arrogant, hostile, and thinks he’s right and everyone else is wrong about everything. It’s great to hear David regularly refuting what he says.
  • Anthony V. Ardizzone
    Great for Both Developers and Customers
    This show is great for both people who develop apps for various platforms as well as people who are customers of many apps. This has allowed me to see a side of developers I could not have imagined and better determine what goes into app development and the challenges posed in that industry.

    Great show 👌
    Been looking for a podcast just like this!
  • lyonsinbeta
    Useful even for non-developers
    I'm not a developer but it's still awesome to hear the stories, design decisions, and tradeoffs that go into being an indie dev.

    Excellent iOS Development Podcast
    A great podcast for iOS developers, I always learn something helpful from each episode! Thank you.
  • Jeff in Zurich
    Love learning about iOS dev from you
    Please don't ever stop. You are both very inspirational. I learn a tremendous amount from you every week. This is one podcast that i never miss. Also great that it is always 30 min.
  • Z3000
    Lots of great tips for all aspects of Dev life!
    I'm really enjoying this podcast - I've followed over from their other shows. I like the breadth of topics that they cover and really enjoy hearing their insights to many issues that iOS developers face.

    Feeling Better about Taxes!
    As a new business owner, I have been treating this tax season as if it was a visit to the doctor. The longer I avoid it the longer I can reject any uncomfortable news. Also the Washington Secretary of State (Seattle resident) is not the easiest to get hold of over any channel. The #74 Taxes and Accounting episode gave me the information I needed and made me more confident to seek out professional help. I thank you so much for consistently delivering great content!

    Wish it were longer
    Love listening to this podcast, the only thing I wish they would run it longer than 30 minutes. There's so much the co-hosts can talk about the subject, but limiting it to end at 30 minutes is just harsh for us listeners who value great content.
  • Ldepadua
    Great podcast for indies
    Lots of great insights
  • korben55
    Painfully boring
    Oh my god who could care
  • Gavin Sm
    Essential
    30 mins of quality app development conversation with no in-jokes and no nonsense. It's also down to earth, insightful and very interesting. I learn something every episode. Love it.

    Excellent iOS podcast
    This is one of my favorite iOS podcasts. Easy to digest as they never go over 30 minutes which is perfect for my commute to work. Really enjoy the topics, keep up the good work you guys!
  • chrisl777
    Fantastic! So valuable for Indie Devs!
    This podcast continues to be one of my favorites. There are few other places where you'll get such an inside perspective on being an indie app developer. They talk about such a wide variety of issues around how to decide between projects, how to market your apps, and so many other valuable topics. Definitely one of my top recommend podcasts.

    Best iOS Podcast
    I'm a long time listener of all podcasts and have been listening to iOS podcasts for around a year now. this podcast has quickly become my favorite as I've gone through all but a few episodes in a week or two. The podcast is done really well and I appreciate the brief and high quality content (not more than 30 minutes). Great works guys and please keep them coming! I also used the discount code for your sponsor Hover and hope that helps!

    Marco is mean
    To people on Twitter.
  • rubberneck67
    Silly
    Why should we care about two independent developers who have no idea about working in collaborative environments or use up to date tools?
  • EliDaBoss
    Great podcast
    amazing format and amazing content. Really great podcast for iOS devs and apple fans like myself. Keep up the good work!
  • Ssrobbi
    Interesting
    I like hearing the opinions of other iOS devs and how they view things. They're generally interesting hosts and seem to both be very realistic and grounded.
  • kawjr21
    Good Stuff
    Very interesting. Marco rules.
  • Chi Sox Keith
    Great discussion
    Love the discussion between David and Marco. Lots of good insight for an indie developer. Keep up the great work.
  • Mr Hanoi
    Awesome!
    Just wish it was longer! Hearing about Marco and David's development experiences is great.
  • Yolanda Hodoor
    Great podcast.
    So far I am thoroughly enjoying this podcast. As a fellow iOS developer I appreciate hearing the views of other devs such as whether or not they're jumping head first into Swift development or waiting. Capping each episode at 30 minutes is also appealing as I can easily schedule listening. All of this keeps me coming back.
  • Scott Fugger
    Very enjoyable
    As a non-developer geek and apple fan, I find this very interesting and enlightening. Thanks!
