About the podcast
Mac Geek Gab has been answering your tech questions and helping you get more out of your gear every week since 2008. Three hosts. Years of real-world experience. Tips, tricks, and "Cool Stuff Found" you won't hear anywhere else.
Nouveautés (v3.5.3)
This update makes the app far more usable with VoiceOver and Voice Control. Every playback control now has a clear spoken label, so you can say things like "Tap Next Chapter" or "Tap Skip Back 15 Seconds" without looking at the screen.
Also fixed: the chapter skip buttons now reliably appear when you reopen the player from the mini-bar, and the tab bar stays visible while the full player is open.
