Wouldn’t load anything. Looks cool though. I may try again. ### 4/5 — The BEST content *2020-04-14, version 3.4* Just the best tutorials on the web for so much of woodworking. The app is great for watching the latest updates, and it would be even better if the search function worked, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. ### 2/5 — Fix the search bar please *2020-01-08, version 3.4* I’m sure the app has a ton of great content. Although, I downloaded it for a specific project and the search bar function is defunct. Please fix? ### 2/5 — Inoperable *2019-01-07, version 3.4* The app has a lot of great content but my issue with the functionality. It seems to be having issues playing g the videos. It would either cut out completely or not play the video at all. ### 3/5 — App doesn't load *2016-01-28, version 3.2* The app has stopped loading. Not sure if it's my phone, but the wood whisperer is great. ### 4/5 — Front end for website. *2015-12-04, version 3.2* Clearly laid out and a good resource drawing from the WoodWhisperer website. It might not work offline though so don't expect all the content to be on it. ### 5/5 — Excellent content *2015-07-09, version 3.2* I enjoy watching the videos and look forward to each new show. I'm just starting into woodworking so I find many tips and plenty of useful information. Marc does a great job of instruction in a style that's enjoyable to watch. The video production quality is excellent in both audio and video. ### 5/5 — Great guides *2015-07-09, version 3.2* I built a toy chest based based off of his 2014 "Woodworkers fighting cancer" project and have to say unlike most he included a cut list, shopping list, and a detailed video which provides a step by step guide for assembly and in many cases mentions alternative ways or tools that can be used through the the build. I haven't done any woodworking in over a decade and built the toy chest with minimal fuss on my first attempt thanks to his details. Honestly one of the best guides I've ever seen and now I've been checking his site out regularly for my next project. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-07-08, version 3.1* The app has great integration with the website and all of the videos and information is readily available. ### 5/5 — Great app tons of woodworking content *2015-07-04, version 3.1* The new app is even slicker better than the last that brings in everything you need all the woodworking videos from the wood whisper and all the wood talk shows from the Woodtalk guys all in all a great looking app with tons of function ### 2/5 — Great idea *2015-05-26, version 2.0* But doesn't work or show pictures for me. Got it to try to plan my own projects and see tips from others, but it doesn't do that so I'll keep looking. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frozen at the start, *2023-05-29, version 3.5* I will give it a chance and try again laterHope it works looks awesome ### 1/5 — I wonder if it is any good? *2021-02-13, version 3.5* I tried a few times to get it to load. I even deleted and reinstalled. Still nothing. ### 1/5 — Problem *2021-01-31, version 3.5* The new app does not work, it goes to video and the screen is blank. It does go to the guild but no audio. Also can not get to the free site Home Screen. William Copper ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2020-05-06, version 3.4* App goes through permissions requests but is stuck on loading screen. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-03-26, version 3.4* This app doesn’t load half the time. When it does, it only loads select content. Many of the tabs won’t load anything. This app is super buggy. Tried deleting and redownloading, tried restarting, tried everything. Developers seemed to have forgotten about this app or something because it looks like it only gets updates maybe once a year, if even that. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2019-09-24, version 3.4* Unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Open *2019-02-11, version 3.4* Not much more to say. ### 1/5 — Does not load *2018-12-06, version 3.4* Sorry, can’t give it any more than 1 star if I can’t open it 😩 ### 1/5 — App is frozen *2016-09-21, version 3.3* App worked but in 10.0 the app is frozen at download. ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2014-07-12, version 2.0* This app is officially the worst thing or app I ever got It Doesn't explain very good and so many bugs ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent for Woodworkers! *2020-01-10, version 3.4* First off, this app works exactly as intended, and is extremely helpful. I’m often traveling to different saw mills and this will come in very handy to calculate price. It is NOT for determining construction lengths or costs, I’ve seen a few negative reviews because of complete user error. I agree that it would be helpful to save notes etc, but my review is on what the app says it is and it gets 5 stars for that! Thank You for making this! ### 5/5 — All the WW Tutorials Well Organized and in One Place *2018-07-06, version 3.4* I have been following TWW for a couple of years - on YouTube - on FaceBook - on Twitter. The app gathers all that information, organizes it and makes it easy to use. Good job Nicole. ### 5/5 — Awesome WW app! *2017-12-31, version 3.4* This is just what I have been looking for, lots of great tips, projects, techniques and the best thing so far is that it hasn’t asked me to pay for anything (yet, lol). I totally dig it and absolutely recommend it for amateur wood workers like myself - 5 stars.1 ### 5/5 — Great free app *2016-07-22, version 3.3* As a beginning woodworker with a short attention span these videos and articles are great. Reminds me why I love woodwork. ### 5/5 — Good collection of TWW videos *2016-05-29, version 3.3* This app is a well organized list of TWW videos, some of the best videos on woodworking that you can watch on your device without going through YouTube application itself. ### 5/5 — Must have for all Woodworkers! *2016-02-18, version 3.2* I've utilized Marc's videos and articles for a few years now and there is not a better resource for woodworkers anywhere. He lays out every project and technique in a way that almost anyone can understand and if you can't he responds right away to emails or other correspondence. Absolute must download! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-02-12, version 3.2* Tons of great free videos with lots of great tips. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, excellent content *2016-01-18, version 3.2* I got into the Wood Whisperer on YouTube, and this app is the perfect extension of the video series. I'm just getting into wood working (or just about to), and the Wood Whisperer is what inspired me to try my hand at this craft that I have admired for years. Many thanks to Marc and Nicole for all of the excellent (and entertaining) programming. ### 5/5 — Great videos *2015-10-30, version 3.2* Great instruction from one of the best woodworking teachers. Highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Bloody brilliant *2015-08-09, version 3.2* As a beginner, the app makes learning on the go much easier and provides great lessons. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
