User Reviews

The reviews overwhelmingly cite negative experiences around login/subscription access, issues downloading or viewing past issues, and general instability (crashes, black screens, streaming problems). Support is commonly reported as unresponsive. A smaller set of reviews praise the content and the clean reading experience when the app works. Overall, the app is valued for magazine content but plagued by access, billing, and reliability problems.

Pros

Valuable access to This Old House magazine content (stories and tips) via the iPad app.
Clean, simple reading interface when the app functions well.

Cons

Persistent login/subscription recognition issues (subscription not recognized, emails not found, login failures) across many reviews.
Inability to download or access past/new issues after updates (download icon not showing, downloads failing, back issues disappearing).
App bugs and reliability problems (black screen, crashes, episodes freezing on Apple TV, playback issues).
Poor or unresponsive customer support (scripted replies, slow or no responses).
Update-related problems where the new version breaks access or billing (subscription not honored, need to re-login).
Billing/charges for issues despite active subscription (being asked to pay per issue).

I have struggled to use this app for quite some time. The login with my print subscription account data used to work fine through 2021. Now I have to use some sort of extreme measures to get it to work and then I’m only able to read the current issue, and the former downloads no longer stay active in my account. I really wish their customer service would make this a more user-friendly app for those of us who have been long time subscribers of this magazine.
