User Reviews

Users appreciate the magazine's quality woodworking content accessible via the app. However, many reviews highlight critical issues: frequent crashes, login and subscription access failures, poor navigation and usability, lack of offline reading despite downloads, and unresponsive customer support. Security vulnerabilities and storage management problems also frustrate users. While the app holds potential as a useful digital alternative to the print magazine, its technical and design shortcomings significantly impair the user experience.

Pros

Provides access to Fine Woodworking articles and projects digitally, beneficial when physical magazine is not available.
Contains excellent woodworking content with clear explanations and useful tips for both beginners and professionals.
Allows some users to access and read issues effectively after updates.

Cons

App frequently crashes, especially when attempting to log in or open the app.
Many users report inability to log in or access their subscriptions, including print and digital members.
Poor app design and functionality: lacks proper navigation, no offline access despite downloading issues, and wastes internal storage as it cannot be directed to SD card.
Customer service for app issues is unresponsive, leaving users without support.
Security concerns: unauthorized access to purchased issues possible with just an email address.

Recent reviews

Great app to access Fine Woodworking articles and projects. Besides an actual Fine Woodworking magazine being physically with me in the shop, the next best thing is the app. Beats having to go back and forth between the shop projects and the plans on my desktop computer, and my shop laptop is dedicated to running my laser and CNC.
