AppAdvice Weekly Podcast covers Apple from the lived-in side of the ecosystem. Trevor Sheridan and Brett Nolan talk through the week’s devices, apps, games, services, and seasonal App Store oddities with a steady bias toward hands-on use. The show is rarely just about the announcement. A new AirPods Pro release becomes a discussion of fit, sealing, noise cancellation, and pricing. A MacBook Pro press release leads into screen size, bezels, and the practical feel of the update. Apple TV+ gets judged against Disney+, Friday release habits, launch libraries, and the shows that actually hold attention. Apple Arcade is the recurring engine. Episodes spend long stretches on game feel, puzzle design, touch controls, controller support, pacing, replay value, and whether a title belongs on phone, iPad, or another platform. The hosts are comfortable praising strong ideas and dismissing weak ones in the same breath. That makes the show useful. It notices small things, like an undo feature in a puzzle game, a kart racer that fails to capture the right speed, or an Apple Arcade title that improves dramatically with a controller. Seasonal episodes broaden the scope without leaving the App Store. Thanksgiving brings recipe apps, cooking timers, Black Friday deals, and iTunes credit discounts. Halloween brings spooky games, kid-friendly scares, and older favorites that still fit the season. The conversation is loose and joke-driven, but the evaluations are specific. Trevor and Brett regularly compare games and streaming shows to familiar touchstones, from The Room and The Witness to The Mandalorian and older Disney films. That makes the criticism easy to place. The show is best for Apple users who want discovery, not just headlines. It is especially useful for people deciding what to download, subscribe to, skip, or play next on Apple devices.
Made for: Apple users, App Store regulars, and mobile gamers who want candid weekly guidance on what is worth downloading, watching, or skipping. It especially fits listeners following Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, iPhone accessories, and seasonal app deals.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by spending real time on how apps and games feel in use, from touch controls and undo systems to subscription value and replay pull. Its Apple coverage is grounded in practical friction, not just launch-day enthusiasm.
AppAdvice is the definitive resource for news and reviews about everything Apple and apps. The show will cover the latest Apple news, greatest new apps, and best game releases. This is the one stop podcast to find out all about everything Apple as well as the best apps in the App Store. The hosts are Trevor Sheridan of AppAdvice.com, and Brett Nolan of AppAddict.net. We hope you enjoy.
