“One of the best HomeKit shows there is. Andrew is always great and keeps us up to date with everything that involves HomeKit and the smart home. Again great show.”

“Apple Insider on X posted an article about their political views. They are trash. Won’t listen anymore.”

“I like how Andrew holds it down, but the show needs a steady co host. When Stephen Robles was on board it was really good. The show need that energy again.”

“This podcast used to be my favorite. I looked forward to it every week. But it has lost side of what it should be. It doesn’t know if it should be charger insider movie insider or what. I’m a little over 15 minutes into the current episode. And they haven’t talked about anything Apple home yet. I...”Read full review »

“Great podcast, but has degraded in quality since Steven left. Episode length varies dramatically week to week, and you new know if it’s going to be a solo or group host episode.
Also, Andrew NEEDS to upgrade his audio equipment. Mic quality is BAD.”

“I used to look forward to this show weekly. It almost seems like Andrew and Wes don’t like each other as it’s constant arguing and talking over each other. This week’s show spent 5+ mins arguing about Apple and Google Find My. It seems there is no script.
I hope the chemistry gets better, but...”Read full review »

“I have been a long time listener and have always looked forward to new episodes. Sadly, I am no longer eager to listen since adding Wes as a cohost. His takes are always negative and seems to lack a basic understanding of home automation and related technologies. The chemistry between him and...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening for the past two years. Andrew does a great job of exploring all things Apple. I’ve learned so much about upcoming home products. I’ve made purchases based on items discussed on the show. Specifically, I’ve bought Eufy cameras and hub, Logitech doorbell, Lutron hub and...”Read full review »

“It’s turning into what they wish apple should do, not what it can do. It’s now pointless to even listen to them. I’m no longer following. This has turned out pointless. Was good but no longer had anything helpful.
Also because of this podcast I’ve cancelled my order on a DJI microphone. Can’t...”Read full review »

“For the first several years of the HKI podcast I would never miss an episode. Fantastic content and hosts. However, with the recent turnover in hosts, the content and discourse has gone down the tubes. Seems like many episodes are filled with non-Homekit fluff to pad the podcast time. This wastes...”Read full review »

“The information and banter are generally informative and entertaining, but the audio quality and—perhaps more importantly—the audio levels are far too low. Listen to the BBC or the Apple News Podcast for a gold standard comparison. The levels have got to come up!”

“Andrew needs to invest in a microphone and fix the sound quality. I use to look forward to the show every week, but ever since Stephan left, it hasn’t been the same. Sounds like Andrew records this from a hands free device from a car. I will stick with it to see if it gets better, but it might...”Read full review »

My favorite boring automations...”Read full review »

These gents have a great sense of humor, and the show is a pleasure to listen to.”

“The best HomeKit podcast! Super helpful and keeps me up to date on the latest HomeKit news!
Stephen and Andrews excitement over new devices is contagious and has had an expensive effect on my smart home lifestyle but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
