This week, Federico and John conclude their tour of new apps they are trying for the first time or revisiting.
With AppStories+, fans of the show get a variety of exclusive perks that aren’t available to listeners of the free, ad-supported version.
Each episode of AppStories+ will include more of the show you love, with longer episodes that expand on weekly topics, explore additional apps we’re using, and cover of current app events and what’s happening at MacStories.
AppStories+ episodes are delivered ad-free a day earlier than the free version most weeks, allowing you to listen before everyone else or make sure you’re ready to start your week with the show. Also, AppStories+ is delivered at a higher, better-sounding bitrate than the free version of the show.
