THIS OLD HOUSE Magazine App Reviews

Makes it easy to go back and research content from back issues.

I just ordered a three year subscription to this old house magazine and saw that the online version was free, great I thought. Not so fast...the online version forces full screen ads in your face every other page and some of the ads appear to have timers on them that you cant bypass, forcing you to sit on an ad for 20 seconds before you can advance. I understand companys want to make money, but this is insulting. Ill stick to the print verision they can shove this where the sun doesnt shine.

I love the instructional videos

Love this mag read it cover to cover

Ive watched the show for 35 years, since the first season. Now, for the first time, I am enjoying the magazine on my iPad. THO is something I cant get enough of.

Since my family and I recently moved I into a very old home, I thought perhaps This Old House magazine would be ideal for helping us learn how to adapt and make the best use of our home. I attempted—multiple times— to download a "free trial issue" (as is proudly touted on their app description), and each time, I was greeted with a huge blank white screen that all but obliterated the magazine (that could be seen in the background). The ONLY option was "Sign In" which, of course, requires an existing PAID SUBSCRIPTION. Theres no option to preview the magazine, nor to even create a new account, should anyone be foolish enough to offer to pay for this without trying it. I deleted this completely useless app, and at this point, I seriously doubt I would even go purchase a hard copy from a local store. If the publishers cant even figure out that their app is useless, why should I believe they know anything about home improvement or modification? Bottom line: The publishers need to get their heads out of their ( | ) and figure out how to actually offer a "free trial" if they expect to garner new readers. If here not interested in new readers, then remove the "free trial" offer, and offer a little truth-in-advertising by declaring "Paid Subscription Required". Wish I could give it a half-star. COMPLETELY USELESS!!!

This app is great! Functions perfectly. Love all the features and being able to take it with me. So glad I purchased.

Had the subscription for a couple of years (on iPad) but the iPhone app wont show my old issues. Answer I got from the supervisor? I didnt choose to get rid of the iPad. You did. How rude!! And this was after almost 2 weeks of emailing and nothing. Ended up just calling, was kept on hold for the most part of the 30 min call and the issue was still not fixed. Got the sup. and I thought, great he prob will fix it. But no. Worst customers service ever. Stay with the paper issue

I can have TOH anywhere. Love the show,love the mag, and digital too!

Wish I had taken a close look at the reviews. Support is non-existent via email. I dont have time in my busy day to call and sit on hold. Cant seem to sign into the digital management area even after changing my password twice. This is not PEBCAC. I would have chosen to subscribe to the print edition and sign on to the digital as secondary if I knew it was this bad. Will be canceling the digital edition after a year!

I get it that this does not replace the print version. Its a fun way to dip into the magazine on the go or review an article that inspired. As the electronic format develops it will offer more features. Great job!

I LOVE this app! Ive had the magazines but all they did was take up space! Now I have my entire collection downloaded on my iPad and its even greater because there are Tablet specials I can check out and videos too! Thanks guys! 5 star hands down!

Title says it all. Paper magazines may be old school, but they dont keep crashing and burning!

Not what I expected. This Old House is not about redecorating bathrooms and kitchens.

The ads can be a bit over the top. However, my gripe is that I cant access my digital issue because it prompts me to connect to iTunes for push notifications. I dont use push notifications and do not intend to begin. I cant access my digital edition because of this silly alert that can not be dismissed. You can do better TOH!

TOH for iPhone looks great and is easy to navigate. I can use the iPad version at home, then use the iPhone as Im shopping.

Have had subscription for many, many years. Trying to access digital editions has been a total disaster. Cant access and since I have 2 homes, dont want to carry a bunch of magazines to view articles. Really re-thinking even continuing magazine subscription.

I think this app is great because you dont have to wait for the hard copy to get to your house.

The app works best on an iPad as opposed to iPhone. The magazine and articles are available without cluttering my home or killing trees. I can peruse the magazine while riding in a car without having remembered to bring it because it is always there as long as I have wifi or 4G

Enjoy the e edition when traveling. I also get the print edition and enjoy both.
