I've been with this podcast since episode 1, and until recently for the most part found the discussions useful and interesting. Certainly worth 30 minutes every 2 weeks. But just like the hosts have decided that Apple has moved away from them, I am moving away from this podcast. Their political views started seeping into their shows and to be honest I have some serious concerns about continuing to trust the judgement of 2 people who in real life are irrational, bitter haters (check their social media). I just wanted to hear about iOS development, but like almost all podcasters who start thinking of themselves as "celebrities" these guys just couldn't help themselves.

Crazy take. Especially when the FTC is going after subscription business models. Whatever happened to businesses working hard to sell their product. If you rely on people forgetting to unsubscribe to make money, you’re not a business person, you’re a snake oil salesmen.

Wild to listen to these guys tiptoe to the line of saying how dumb their own users are almost every single week.

Love this podcast, as an developer myself I fully enjoy hearing what other developers go through when developing there products.

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

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!

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.

Those guys are just getting better…

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.

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.

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.

👌🏼

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.

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.

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.

Been looking for a podcast just like this!

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.

A great podcast for iOS developers, I always learn something helpful from each episode! Thank 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.

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.

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!

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.

Lots of great insights

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.

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!

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.

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!

To people on Twitter.

Why should we care about two independent developers who have no idea about working in collaborative environments or use up to date tools?

amazing format and amazing content. Really great podcast for iOS devs and apple fans like myself. Keep up the good work!

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.

Very interesting. Marco rules.

Love the discussion between David and Marco. Lots of good insight for an indie developer. Keep up the great work.

Just wish it was longer! Hearing about Marco and David's development experiences is great.

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.

As a non-developer geek and apple fan, I find this very interesting and enlightening. Thanks!

Thanks for the interesting podcasts
