Fine Homebuilding Magazine is free iOS app published by Taunton Press
Now broken in iOS7
Yagul
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.
Informative Publication
Great application87
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.
Fantastic App

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!
Great App, Better Magazine

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.
Good magazine, horrible app

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.
Great Magazine Marred by Buggy App
Cyclist Edge
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.
