Glitchy App

This app is never smooth in play back. Even through my Apple TV it stutters, no smooth flow of viewing. It is the only app that does this so I know it’s not my internet connection or device. I like the shows, hence why I downloaded the app. Fix the buffering Family Handyman.

Cannot access digital issue

Navigating online App is very bad

Lousy App

I get more ads than I do FH. Useless App. Can’t get to the project I want. When I tap my desired episode, it plays some totally different segment.

Icon Links Do Not Work

Went to the app to select Automotive and the link does not bring you to anything, nor did the other links. As such, the app is not intuitive nor does it work 😕.

Very glitchy

The app is extremely glitchy when trying to watch a live episode and it is always off from the timing of the live show on the channel. I love the idea behind this app but it doesn’t work well. The app also does not stop playing in the background when I close it. I will close a show and then get in my car and it is still playing on my phone with no way to actually close the app.

OMG!! Don’t like autoplay videos

Why can’t a user toggle the volume off on the video? That’s a horrible feature to not have available to users.

Can’t search anything without some video playing

App is badly broken. AVOID IT.

Can't login, can't play ANY video, regardless of using it on laptop, phone or AppleTV app. It simply doesn't work AT ALL. Very disappointing. Someone needs to fix this pronto.

Unable to login, videos do not play

This app needs a handyman to fix it. Can’t login, keeps telling me username and pwd are wrong. Changing pwd does nothing. Also, videos do not play (but the commercials in front of them do). This app is broken useless garbage. Family Handyman needs to fix it. How ironic.

All videos

I don’t want to watch videos

Advertisements play, but video content doesn’t

Clicked on videos to watch, but only advertisements play. You can’t view a lot of video content because the videos won’t play after the advertisement plays. It would be a great app if they can fix this.

Can’t make it through the advertisement to see anything

Too many commercials

All video repeats of HGTV

What a waste. Difficult to navigate, auto plays videos you don’t want to watch and ads play often. Just watch HGTV.

Great info!

App works well and has lots of useful info and guidance for many home repairs and projects!

Doesn’t seem to work

I signed up for the app but went to certain items in the app and they do not play so you cannot chose any category they are pretty much locked out

Won’t load

Not able to use app due to not loading

Nice but

App is good until it locked up my screen.

A jumbled mess

Far too hard to find interesting content by category or topic.

Voice

No way to shut off the voice
