This Old House Reviews

Slightly annoying bugs but good app.

I use an iPhone 6s to cast to my 3rd Gen Apple TV. The video casts fine, but if I open my phone to look at a notification, the video pauses. If I receive a phone call, the app crashes and the video must be restarted. The scrubbing feature needs updated as it’s very glitchy and makes finding your place in the video very hard. Overall though, very good. I like that the videos play continuously and will allows binge watching some excellent episodes of seasons past. The 95 dollar subscription fee is steep, but over a year is worth every penny. Quality entertainment for months to come. I would like the ability to download episodes as an annual subscriber as well. That would be a premium feature.

Needs To Be Brought Into Modern Day

Finally, there is an app to stream episodes . . . but no tracking of what has already been played. Really? :(

Needs a blackout function

I tried this app for the first time, and the only blemish is that I can’t back out from one program and search for different ones. If there’s a function to that would be perfect.

Excellent app, few minor glitches

This app works perfectly to binge-watch the shows on my latest-gen AppleTV. So, so much better than before the app existed. Content still does have to be Airplayed to my older AppleTV, using the TOH app on an iPad Mini 4. That setup is somewhat glitchy, but quitting/restarting the app on the iPad usually fixes it. The Insider subscription is money well spent, in my case. I’m semiretired and enjoy learning new things. I also like being able to have a halfway intelligent conversation with a contractor when I hire work out. “Two thumbs up—way up!”

Frequent app crashes

I LOVE This Old House. Unfortunately the app crashes frequently when trying to play a video. Can’t say I’ve had an app do this before. If I didn’t love TOH so much I’d give the app a 1 or 2 star review. Fortunately, the content is great when I’m able to actually watch it. Hoping for some future updates that are more stable.

Very happy...one problem

Please make a way to track what has been watched and to pick back up from where I left off. Everything else is great!

It crashes

The app is great but it gets 2 seconds in the video then crashes

Worst ever

Found something ‘this old house’ can’t build, an app. Shuts down when I try to start a video. Deleted immediately. Seems others have experienced this as well.

Software Craftspeople They Are Not

I’m a huge fan of TOH and the content is great to have access to, but unfortunately the app needs more work. In particular, it doesn’t keep track of what you’ve watched. There is no way to tell which episodes you’ve watched or where you were in an episode. Being unable to navigate away from an episode and choose a different episode when in landscape orientation is a pain as well. I’m hopeful that the developers for TOH can add these sorts of features soon, and get the UX up to at least a professional range, and then take it further to show the type of craftsmanship with their software that they do in their homebuilding.

Can’t cast to my chromecast

The app only allows for casting to an Apple TV. So I can only watch episodes on my phone
