I updated two months ago and lost all of my previous purchases and am still unable to log on emailed customer service no response great magazine but total amateur hour when it comes to the app     Terrible Update Disappointed in Philly
I have tried to send feedback to Taunton via their apps and via the web site but neither works I have screen shots if someone at Taunton wants details so have resorted to a review The new version of this app is a big step backward The biggest problem for me that I am not seeing the latest issue of the magazine on older devices I have an old iPad in my shop and there s no way I m going to replace it just for this It used to work just fine Another problem is that they have not thoroughly tested offline use A couple of days ago I was away from net access and went to read the mag It would not show me an issue I had previously downloaded because it could not connect to their site Both of these are unacceptable If these are not fixed by the the time my membership is up for renewal in a few months I won t be renewing And they should fix the feedback contact mechanisms too I m posting the exact same review for both FWW and FHB     Doesn t work on older devices Mario62
Read the reviews for the Fine Woodworking app all the same apply here     Horrible did anyone bother to test this first UnRestored
DO NOT install this app you will loose all of your previous purchases and you will not be able to log in please fix this Update called customer service several times some functionality has been restored then removed App is still malfunctioning after many attempts IMHO this app is poorly executed and poorly conceived very disappointed in an otherwise fine magazine Take three after several calls to customer support my previous purchases have still not been restored and now I cannot log in this app is a mess     DO NOT INSTALL prosmallboy
I like the new interface Very responsive when interacting with magazine pages Downloads seem faster too Thanks                     Great update ckstuart
After the run around with customer service at Taunton they finally admitted the app does not support the iPhone only the iPad This really reduces the value of a subscription since accessing the content on an iPhone is a major selling point     Does not work on iPhones Sun Treader
Love the magazine hate the app I ve been a subscriber since issue 86 The app makes you enter the subscription number each time you want to download an issue Once you enter your subscription number it reverts back to the current subscription The app should have the ability to recognize your paid subscription information and allow you to download the issues you paid for with your print subscription     Useless app juice.hg
Fine Homebuilding is awesome for the articles and the how to steps The interface is the only reason I gave it four instead of five When turned sideways the pictures don t alway line up like they put their magazine in a photo copier and and the crease is still in the digital print they let us have The program has crashed numerous times while I m flipping through pages When I try to click on a link from a add in the magazine It takes me to a different browser and stalls I ve even waited a while just to see if it finally links It never has Last but not least and this may be a bit of wishful thinking in the iBook app you can touch a picture or blow it up and resize it and it is always clear When studying a certain construction process I love to study a picture to correlate the article description to what the pictures are showing The only way to do that in this app is to blow it up and it stays grainy Like I said the articles are fantastic I d just like to tweak the app a bit Also I m sure the advertisers would love the links to work                 Great articles could use some work on the user interface #1Welder
According to Apple this app may slow down your iPad It runs slow on mine     Needs To Be Update for IOS 10 3 2 YenzerDahnTahn
Doesn t work won t accept already paid print subscriptions     Doesn t work Favorite Color is Red
Love the magazine and now it s handy to have several months stored to look at anytime that I want                     Great app 5Climber
FHB I love your magazine but please update overhaul your app It takes forever to load issues and I m getting messages say on your app will slowdown my iPad and the developer needs to update it         Update Your App CA Mainer
This is a good app I enjoy that i can look at some back issues It has crashed a few times I run an older ios that may be the problem                 Fine app NoNick681
Wish I had room in my house for these in print but I love to be able to read these on my IPAD                 Love the App Rpm24nathan
FH Is a great mag in the print version but the app doesn t allow access even after paying for the on line supplement Costs 7 99 any time you want to see anything And there s no easy way to contact a human to fix things     Keeps asking for money wam525
Not the best layout Hard to work         Not the best Westcory
As an experienced carpenter I m always trying to find better ways of doing my job The magazine as well as other Taunton Press publications help me do just that                 Very Happy Phyrefyter
Love the magazine hate the crappy subscription mechanics I bought a subscription and it is impossible to get what I paid for The designer of this app should be fired And haven t had any better luck trying to get what I paid for through the website Absolutely destroyed the user experience and my faith in the digital versions of this great publication     Absolute CRAP Airobatic
I have found the Fine Homebuilding app to be a great replacement for the paper magazines which I kept misplacing When I did have a problem with the app because of an iOS update the Customer Service was incredibly good and very responsive I can t say enough good things about both the app and its content                     Excellent app with great support Chuckles19834
Love the magazine Always have The app is easy to use and read Provides URL s for each product in the magazine and just by touching the products in the magazine it instantly takes you to the web for more information Very convenient Would love to be able to read articles from the Fine Homebuilding website straight from the app That would be a great improvement                     Thumbs up Skoup
By far and away my go to publication for our home Immersive content and top notch writing                     Great App and publication DaytonCostlow
Very well executed this app makes reading FH a pleasure on my iPad                     One of the best magazine apps around TJJ99
Love the content wish it was a more reliable and faster app         Slow crashes animalrescueben
Reference magazine on the market a bit pricey tho worth it if you are DIYer What separates from others is the details and tips of the articles If you haven t seen or heard of the magazine do yourself a favor a pick one up Just started to use the online app version so I really don t have a opinion them at this time                     FH is the best Enternite

Great magazine for anyone interested in home projects or building I am a custom home builder and have been a subscriber for almost 10 years                     Hothomesfbg Hothomesfbg
We subscribe to the print mag and get the digital as part of the subscription Unfortunately I cannot use the digital version After downloading a magazine the App crashes on my iPad Mini after about the third page of the mag I suspect it s a problem with the App trying to allocate memory that s not available This would be a great Mag to have on the iPad if it were not for the buggy App that keeps crashing         Great Magazine Marred by Buggy App Cyclist Edge
Updating the library is dreadful takes forever Past issues erase sporadically for no reason Once in an issue behaves nicely and as always it s a fine magazine             Good magazine horrible app AGStructures
The app is stable for me It takes a while to download the magazine but that is be expected given the numerous pictures More people need to read the magazine so they are more knowledgeable about their homes The articles are timely It always seems that if we are working on something FHB has exactly the information we need to do a better job Highly recommended to DIYers and professionals                     Great App Better Magazine sundanc3r
Nice cover won t launch That s all I could see     Real Buggy BernieYKwan
This is by far one of my favorite apps The team at Fine Homebuilding pleasantly surprised me with how effective this app is connecting links in the magazine to stories on different pages ads and even videos The images are high resolution used to be very high resolution but download would take forever so they must reduced it a little to decrease download time They are far ahead of a lot of other major publications apps And it doesn t stop there Their customer service is exemplary Whenever I ve had issues pairing my device or downloading an issue maybe twice they were quick to respond and updated me whenever the issue was resolved For example when iOS was updated to 8 0 there were some major issues but they kept me updated on their efforts Well done Fine Homebuilding                     Fantastic App Blue Jeans Bastard
As a do it yourself er and general handyman for the family I learn so much from this publication about design building techniques and materials codes etc If nothing else it has given me a sincere respect and understanding for what the building industry professionals do and are worth Before becoming a constant reader of this pub I was under the impression I could figure it all out on my own and make the mistakes without paying someone else to make them Now I research a lot more and can better decide whether or not to hire a professional and what to ask and expect out of the contractors I do hire Thanks                 Informative Publication Great application87
Version 6 2 8 broken in iOS 8 1     Yes Broken DwnSun
The latest updates seem to have broken the app for users still in iOS7 The app now tells me my subscription does not exist and that I have never purchased any issues This seems to happen every time there is an update of the app or iOS It is amazingly frustrating to plow through all the seemingly related FAQ following the supposed fixes to find that nothing works I have wasted so much time on trying to fix this problem and to no avail     Now broken in iOS7 Yagul
Does not get past loading screen     Hangs and freezes when launched D Maestro
Had all my issues and now constantly says no issues set up and there are currently no issues on the magazine where did they all go Help please or give me my full subscription fee back Since you took away all my issues     Broken now Adeyo77
The app broke with iOS 8 but has now been fixed and works great I love the magazine I found the Taunton Press customer support to be very helpful and they kept me updated on the status of that app                     Fixed with ios8 Danuda
This app does not work under iOS8 and customer support has been nil Taunton Press charges high prices but does not deliver     Broken NicholasofMyra
Don t do it the mag download has failed a dozen times I emailed apple about and got a we ll look into it response that was two weeks ago I emailed Tauton Press about it and they passed the buck back to apple Over all very disappointed with the app and the customer service Tauton publications are not cheap and getting a refund is a joke don t do it     Pass the buck Bag o nails
When I launch the app my screen is filled with a photo of a beautiful house Then maybe three minutes later the app crashes Happens every time I try to use it That s a complete summary of my experience with the app Love the magazine but don t buy physical magazines anymore live on RV and don t want to store them Wish the app worked     Does not work at all Benjamin Vagabond
The iPad newsstand digital version took some getting used to but now that I ve used it and mastered it I m a fan When zooming in for details the image stays nice and clear thank you Absolutely love the way it links to advertisers product sites for easy in depth exploration Other publications available through this channel are just as nice Already purchased decks and small homes Nice work guys                     Love it Futzie
I have been a long time subscriber to FineHomeBuilding magazine I had trouble finding the time to keep up with the magazines This electronic format gives me the exact same content with color photographs and everything This in a format that I can take with me everywhere                     Just like the print magazine only better Frank in San Diego
Works great in my IPad 2 and the content remains excellent                     Fine Homebuilding Egam1958
Well done publication Several great tips and ideas                     Enjoyed every issue Frank374

The app broke with iOS 8 but has now been fixed and works great I love the magazine I found the Taunton Press customer support to be very helpful and they kept me updated on the status of that app                 Fixed with ios8
I have always enjoyed the magazine and the app brings a great product into the future I have had no problems or crashes                 FineHome Building is fantastic
This update fixed the constant launchtime crashing so updating my rating from 1 star to 3 stars           Launches without crashing now
So I made an assumption that there would be an account with the app purchase that would be linked to the online membership account But it appears as if this was an incorrect but reasonable assumption on my part There are videos titles that I see on the website that I have no idea as to how to get to using the app I should be able to use both the app or the web site to access the same articles videos etc As of now it seems like the app is a waste of money compared to what you get with the online version I did notice a difference with the online version of about 2 or 3 buckswhich does not seem significant Bottom line fine homebuilding really should sink the the app and online subscriptionwithout you having to purchase both And if users can already do so then how to do so needs to be made more clear and user friendly        Why not link to online subscription
Previous version of app worked fine on both iPhone 611 and iPad 511 Recently downloaded version 62 and now the app opens very briefly and then closes on both devices All other apps work fine on both devices Attempted all logical trouble shooting to include deleting the app and reinstalling but the problem remains     Version 62
Perhaps it is big enough on an iPod but on my iPhone it is impossible to zoom Was it tested on an iPhone Not possible to read the puny text     Cant zoom with iPhone
Had it for less than 5 minutes on the iPad and it wont even open Works good on the iPhone but it doesnt read too well on such a small screen     Garbage
Thought I would try a magazine on my IPad Works great and I like the information in the magazine              First Time Out
This app has been running very smoothly on my iPad Air Image quality is amazing Borders on an experience not just a magazine                 Long time reader
Updating the library is dreadful takes forever Past issues erase sporadically for no reason Once in an issue behaves nicely and as always its a fine magazine           Good magazine horrible app
great app useful easy access to content both in and out of the magazine                 very useful app
This is very impressive publication It has great articles written by professionals with years of experience I would highly recommend it                 Professional publication
Version 628 broken in iOS 81     Yes Broken
Too many crashes if rather have the paperback           Crashes
The iPad edition really brings Fine Homebuilding to life Photos look even better and now I can get some additional video content with just a touch Bugs for iPad 1 seem to have been fixed                 Like the mag love the app
Well done publication Several great tips and ideas                 Enjoyed every issue
The 621version has not helped App still doesnt open for more than a second Would love to buy the next issue But cant Why dont you contact the crew that did Fine Woodworking     Regretfully still not able to open
I am surprised that at the poor quality from Taunton This app crashes every time I open it on the iPad mini or the iPhone I sent in a support request and I received an automated response that someone would contact me within two days It has been nearly two weeks and nothing Dont waste your time on this app until it gets fixed     App crashes no support
Dont waste your time downloading this app It doesnt do anything but cycle you straight to purchasing the current month magazine At 8 why     Not Worthy to Download
As a do it yourselfer and general handyman for the family I learn so much from this publication about design building techniques and materials codes etc If nothing else it has given me a sincere respect and understanding for what the building industry professionals do and are worth Before becoming a constant reader of this pub I was under the impression I could figure it all out on my own and make the mistakes without paying someone else to make them Now I research a lot more and can better decide whether or not to hire a professional and what to ask and expect out of the contractors I do hire Thanks              Informative Publication
The magazine itself is as good as ever and the interactivity is nice but you cant print or otherwise save articles of particular interest Tauntons subscription management is very disjointed one site for print one for the website and another for digital magazine They need a place where you can see everything at once        OK but could easily be better
The app is stable for me It takes a while to download the magazine but that is be expected given the numerous pictures More people need to read the magazine so they are more knowledgeable about their homes The articles are timely It always seems that if we are working on something FHB has exactly the information we need to do a better job Highly recommended to DIYers and professionals                 Great App Better Magazine
Worked for a month or two then forced me to do a log in to resubscribe each time for a month or two Now it wont load at all It never allowed me to have more than one issue in my news stand It would take them back somehow I am forced to download into safari to read them which is not as good a presentation as the app and requires being near wifi rather than just clicking on the magazine in my newsstand when I am waiting for my wife to finish shopping Never thought Taunton would put out something this shoddy and not fix it right away     Quit working
We subscribe to the print mag and get the digital as part of the subscription Unfortunately I cannot use the digital version After downloading a magazine the App crashes on my iPad Mini after about the third page of the mag I suspect its a problem with the App trying to allocate memory thats not available This would be a great Mag to have on the iPad if it were not for the buggy App that keeps crashing        Great Magazine Marred by Buggy App

Having similar issues App wont open After I put in my print subsc ID which verified It first tried to charge me for current issue Then didnt but after I closed out of app I could never get back into it Redownloaded and jumped through all the hoops again Same crap Maybe because I wont let it access Facebook You guys have my email Drop me a message if you ever get this app to work     Crappy
Opened app on my iPad then entered my profile info when I entered my birthday and country then app crashed and wouldnt reopen with out immediately crashing every time I tried to open the app I deleted app and started over with exactly same result I trusted Taunton Press so what a huge disappointment     Crashes
This app basically displays a high res PDF of the print edition plus hotlinksnavigation plus some videos So while not perfect it does add some extras over the paper edition              Good companion to print edition
This app does not work under iOS8 and customer support has been nil Taunton Press charges high prices but does not deliver     Broken
Had all my issues and now constantly says no issues set upand there are currently no issues on the magazine where did they all go Help please or give me my full subscription fee back Since you took away all my issues     Broken now
I really enjoy this magazine and consider it my go too source for building information                 Great App and publication
Tried all possible means to correct but to no avail App will not open without crashing Up to about 2 weeks it worked great Has not worked worked correctly since getting new iPad Air and updating to lasted version of iOS All other subscriptions and Apps working correctly Like the magazine and will update my rating once this problem is corrected     Will Not Open
