Mac OS Ken App App Reviews

I dont get it

I bought this software, and I dont regret it because I enjoy the MacOSKen Podcast. The least I can do is forfeit a bit of dough for Kens show. However, I had the wrong impression about this product and others may too. Just to be clear, this application requires a wi-fi or cell connection. I have an iPod Touch and bought this app on the premise that it would automatically download the podcasts each day and Id continue to play them as Im driving to work. Unfortunately it doesnt work that way. It streams the podcast, which means you need a connection. The latest version of the iPod Touch/iPhone firmware allows one to download podcasts without having to do a sync to the computer. This is the part I dont really get. The functionality is already there. If people are running out of space to store a couple of megs podcast then a clean up is in order. The main benefit for me is supporting Ken. Other than that I wont be using this utility.

Keeps me up to date every morning

The updated Mac OS Ken app now gives me an outline of the podcast right on screen. I find the app works every time and allows the podcast to stream over 3G without a problem. This is an app that gives 110% of what is expected.

Good

This guy is great if you like Apple

Daily Must!

One of the few shows I listen to every day, and have for many years. Ken not only provides the news that Apple product users love to hear, but does it in his own interesting, unique and nuanced manner. I dont know where else I would get my daily fix of Apple news. Thanks Ken! MarkinMD

Great app

Love this app great show Ken

You rock!

Now that this is in whats hot, I want to inform the world that Ken Ray is awesome. He adds the perfect combination of nerd and class to a podcast lengthed to fit perfectly in your drive to or from work.

Needs In-App ability

You know what would be good? If this app had an in-app option to send Ken $.99 every once in a while, like whenever. I mean, dont waste a lot of time trying to make this app worth $2.99 by giving us an extra thing. We are only buying it to support his excellent daily "All Things I" updates and insights. So make it easier to keep doing that. I might hem and haw over whether I should buy a 99-cent game, but Ill happily send off a buck now and again to Ken Ray, since I listen to his show every *BEEEEP* *BEEEEP* day. Bgosh. Hey, seriously, Ken, be the first to do this and see what happens when NPR, PETA and the NRA find out. Unless this violates Apples app submission guidelines. Then you could get around it by selling a red checkmark that shows up somewhere in the app. Maybe after we buy 10 checkmarks, we get a green checkmark or a yellow star. I want a yellow star!

Amazing show

I have been a listener for over a year and love this podcast. This app compliments the show perfectly. It nice to have the most recent podcast without having to sync my iPhone You rock Ken!

Nov update is perfect

If you have not listened to Ken Ray yet, you are missing out on daily insight into all things Apple. Highly recommended. This app is a great tool or subscribe in iTunes. Ken . . YOU ROCK !!

Great Show

The much needed stability update is here and now the app is fully usable. The show rocks- tons of Apple news, five days a week, dished up with plenty of attitude.

Extras, you say?

Hate to be a wet towel as I love Ken and have been a longtime sixer, but where are the extras weve been promised? At this point the app deserves three stars, Ill reconsider when things change. The show does rock.

The best Macosken app!!

Buy it and you will "Rock"!!!!! Chow!

Love it!!!!!!

It works like it should, now I get mac news every day.

Excellent app.

Key Ray provides the most concise and timely Apple News you will find on a podcast. With this app you can get the latest news here even before it posts to iTunes (I think). Even though his podcasts are only about 10 minutes long, you dont have to store them on your iPhone or iPod, now that they are accessible from the app.

Doing this, you know, for the children

I have no intention of using this application. I get the podcast, and thats fine by me. I just want to give Ken my money. Id subscribe to "Mac OS Ken: Day 6", but I dont think Im interested in the extra topics, $10/mo seems too high (anything more than a MobileMe subscription is too high), and I refuse to get a PayPal account to handle the recurring payments.

Love the podcast

Wanted to show some support for the podcast.

Morning commute

When I cant sync my iPhone to iTunes before running out the door in the morning this little baby lets me get all my daily apple news. Ken, you rock!

Loving MacOS Ken

Love the show and info Ken has to offer. Showing my support!! Thanks!!

Doesnt even start!!!

I got this app not even looking at the price (thought it would be free since it is a podcast app). Then I cant even freAking open it!!! WTF!!! I even tried rebooting my phone and it still giving me an error message.

Incredibly better... even comes with a newsletter if you know where to Poke

I love this app. I use it every morning when I get up (practically the first thing I do to hear Kens Magical and Whimsical Voice and Musings" Sure I can hook my phone up and sync it all, but that just is a pain. Never have been able to figure how to make iTunes automatically download the current morning podcasts without me having to prompt them. Instead I listen to ken while all those podcast download and I boil my water for some good and delicious Chai Vanilla Tea. The app is respectful and caring of me, it shows no judgement wether I am dressed in my ratty PJ Bottoms (if I am wearing them ;-) or if I have bad morning breath. Ken still talks to me and tells me the world of Apple is ok, and if it isnt, well then he makes it funny and that makes it OK. I love Kens App so much I cant help but also listen to him on Day 6 of his extended Podcast Edition. But this is where I have a problem. I cant use this app to download that feed automatically if I am a paid subscriber. I, like the rest of you have to download Kens Day 6 podcast in a mix of other podcasts in no particular order (how dare those other podcasts I am subscribed to download before Kens downloads...they are rude, rude, rude podcasts). I wish there was an option to allow downloads of the Day 6 on this app... it would make my life complete. It could have a cool unlock option that would really prompt others to sign up for day 6 since it is in one app. Something to ponder if our Overlord Ken (you have to read the newsletter in the new updated App to know what I am talking about) will ever integrate this bit of extra extra goodness. You Rock Ken...
