Customer Reviews
Not just for Power Users!
Katie and David explore a wide variety of relevant topics which will enrich your understanding of what more your Mac can do for you! Also love those Workflows episodes - they're packed with insight into how an incredibly wide-ranging gamut of Mac users leverage their Mac in their work! Listen to this and you'll gravitate towards being a Power User yourself. Thanks for doing this y'all!
Great content and great hosts
I've been listening since some of the first episodes of Mac Power Users. Through Katie and David I have discovered new applications, developed new workflows, and learned so much more about my Mac and my iOS devices. MPU is truly one of the "must-listen" mac podcasts!
Always worth my time.
There are only a few podcasts that I listen to every episode regardless of the subject, and MacPowerUsers is one of them. I'm surprised at how well David and Katie can relate information about workflows and technology in a podcast that is audio only.
