I have paid for the Insider subscription for years, now because TOH has hired an incompetent vendor to update their website I can no longer view, it keeps freezing up and locking. Repeated emails to Avery have made no difference. After 40 years customers no longer matter.
Awful. I sign into my account and it brings up a display from time to time asking me to "subscribe" - which I already did! The account section of the app is not good and makes for a frustrating experience. It's tough because I really like all the content from This Old House." 😔
I am leaving after 1 hour. Even though I subscribed, there were still adds, plus it will not remember where you left off. Firehouse wanting Chromecast, I mirror it to the TV, don't need Chromecast.
Huge fan of TOH and have been watching it for over 30+ years, but this app doesn't represent the quality one would expect from TOH. I pretty much have to sign in each time I go to watch an episode and I can't broadcast it to my TV! Come on guys... fix this!!!!
The program is great the app is a little behind as you have to manually go to the season and episode you were watching before. it doesnt remember your place. Update they fixed the issue with the App. 5 stars...
I treated myself to an Insider subscription, but I'm regretting it, because the UI is so awful. Which episode did you watch last? NO WAY TO KNOW! Did you only finish half of that last episode? hope you remember which episode & how far to FFWD because there are no clues in the UI. Oh, and even if you force-close the android app, a notification remains! I left one star because Bob Vila's hat in season 1 is so hideous that making fun of it is the best part of the whole experience.
Great app. You get to watch every episode of TOH, ATOH and loads more stuff, with no ads (if you subscribe), no more watching on YouTube. Like all other comments, casting to a TV isn't available (unless you mirror your phone). Great binge watch.
I have the app on my Fire Stick and mobile device. I love watching all the old seasons of This Old House starting from the very beginning of 1979 or so. I am a nerd. Very interesting and thank you! I plan on watching as many seasons as I can in chronological order. I like the new seasons as well and it's nice to have the whole archive.
Why is this app not yet available for Smart TVs using the Android TV and Google TV smart platforms? I don't want to watch This Old House on a little 7inch smartphone, I want to watch it on my Sony 55" X90J 4K TV which uses Google TV. It is totally pointless and a waste for me to have to have a Roku plugged into my TV just for one single app.
No ability to cast videos to the TV, and casting from the browser is a terrible, choppy experience that makes episodes unwatchable. My primary desire for this app is the ability to smoothly cast episodes to my TV, which this doesn't do.
