Home automation has not reached a level where everything “just works”. I have listened to this podcast for many years, and really trust Stephen and Andrew to point me in the right direction.

Host Andrew’s audio quality is terrible. Sounds like he’s using a walkie talkie. Dudes: audio quality matters!

Thank you so much for all the work to make HomeKit easy for the average person. Really enjoyable format, and lots of great information and reviews. I do have a scenario I need some help with. I have 2 dogs that we leave in their crates while we are at work. The room they stay in can sometimes...Read full review »

Extremely informative podcast. Added several things weekly since our conversation last at the dealership Andrew O’Hara . Very addictive problem to have now that I can listen to all the new stuff/ technology you all talk about weekly!

I’ve been listening for a while and find the show engaging. As a HomeKit fan, I want to hear the latest news with honest and insightful reviews, and this is the go-to show.

HomeKit insider is good in that it’s there, and there aren’t many HomeKit podcasts at all - I wish there were more. I also wish these hosts were more knowledgeable about HomeKit and Apple’s tech. Stephen Robles seems to be cast as the good natured buffoon who chuckles and laughs about how he just...Read full review »

I Liston to every podcast you put out. You give great information and assistance with HomeKit and related products, but I’m struggling here in the UK with finding suitable video doorbells that use HomeKit Secure Video, either wired or battery. Any ideas guys? Regards Peter from Lincoln.

First and foremost, great show and a happy listening experience. Second, watch my Apple TV+ show for those who haven’t! And lastly i wanted to know “if” and if so, “how” the 2022 model can operate as a occupancy sensor device. As i can see it has this ability in the home app and in the Eve...Read full review »

Thank you Stephen and Andrew for the many tips, tricks, and product reviews. Another shoutout to (TheBeardedTeacher) on insta for all the tips given!

What A Great Show!!!! Having to switch Home Automation systems, the Hosts do a great job explaining everything. I love the reviews of new items. Thanks for keeping us up to date with HomeKit, Apple, and ALL the accessories we need to buy. Keep up the GREAT show.
rrisueno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/23
There are not enough smart home related shows out there. This is a great one with lots of information and news for Apple users and smart home enthusiasts! Would love to see a section for automation ideas. It’s great to hear other people’s setups and creative ways of smart integration.
mquintie via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/18/23
Really like the content and hosts, but Andrew’s audio quality is bad. I can easily tell that Stephen is using a high-quality microphone cause it sounds very professional (of course aided by his deep, rich baritone voice). Come on Andrew, invest in a better mic, please.

Show me on the doll where Elon hurt you. Libtard sheep soyboy needs to leave politics out of it and stick to your job (which I thought was discussing HomeKit). For the record, Twitter is better now than it ever was. How anyone could be against free speech in America and for government...Read full review »

I’m a tech person as we all are here, my mother is not. She bought a home and I want to smart it out with the basics cameras and light switches and things. Sadly I will be avoiding HomeKit things just are not great and I’m an Alexa person. Minus that maybe you can do like a where to start in 2023...Read full review »

HomeKit insider is a must listen every week. Keeps me up to date on what’s new and happening in the HomeKit world. Their opinions and insight have been invaluable to me as we recently built a new house and are currently installing and adding HomeKit devices throughout.
SmartDog Doug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/22
I look forward to this podcast each week. I learn about all kinds of things I can buy to make my home smarter and smarter and what’s greater than that?

You do a great job, with a ton of useful user experience and tips and tricks. I have to say many of my purchases are influenced by your thoughtful opinions and experiences. And I discover things I never thought (like “remote” being an app when it wants to, but in control center when it wants...Read full review »

What does your homekit look like Been watching since 2020
AppleInsider Podcast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/22
Don't get me wrong, Steven is a great co-host. However the new gentleman (can't recall his name at the moment) brings a new level of youthful exuberance, energy, and insight to the pod. But for reals, HKi is an approachable and entertaining discussion on all things homekit and the smart...Read full review »

Well done everyone. Really great to listen to and keep up to date with everything Home tech. Only way it could be better would be to add William Gallagher. Keep up the great work. Andrew Matthews, Golf Pro, currently in UAE

Have you tried the apple Podcasts app for Apple TV? I’m on the latest beta and trying to rewind or fast forward with the physical remote is an absolute nightmare.
P0dc45tL15t3n3r via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/22
Been a HomeKit enthusiast for the last 2 years. This podcast gives the best breakdown of everything going on with HomeKit. Stephen and Andrew play off each other well as co-hosts. Stephen’s also a good sport on twitter, in spite of his candy corn take.
Defenistrator19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/22
I’m Robert from North Carolina and I’ve been listening to your show since the beginning. The show has been so helpful in getting my house fully automated with HomeKit accessories. Thank you!

This is a great podcast for Apple HomeKit products reviews and news

I love listening to the show weekly. I have 100 devices on my home and I always learn about what’s new and works well in the ecosystem.
munkman02 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/22
Great hosts with good chemistry makes it an enjoyable listen. But the information, tips, guidance and general discussion on HomeKit is accessible for both new users and experienced users. My most recommended resource for people who are entering the space. It’s great!
dbarnby via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/20/22
Listened to dozens of these over the past year. Was again annoyed just now by how slow they talk. Turns out it was already at 1.25 speed! They endlessly talk about products without mentioning releases in Europe. They don’t even realize many brands are U.S.-only! And there is SO much off-topic...Read full review »
Wim Leers via Apple Podcasts · Belgium · 10/19/22
I listen to every episode with great interest and your coverage of everything HomeKit. And I fully understand that you cover in more depth products that are used more in the US, as opposed to Europe or Asia. However, it would not take too much effort to become more knowledgable about products...Read full review »

Best Apple Home podcast hands down. Andrew and Stephen (or Stephen and Andrew - no favoritism here) are both knowledgeable and goofy, making for a great podcast. Keep up the good work, guys.
haroldjohn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/22
I’m leaving a 5 star review today for one reason, though: because Stephen literally said “Bigsfeet” was the plural for Bigfoot. A verifiable laugh out loud moment.
tbobpage via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
It’s a fantastic podcast to listen to, and I often find myself buying the products they discuss.
