| 2024-03-01 |  | | Great app to access Fine Woodworking articles and projects. Besides an actual Fine Woodworking magazine being physically with me in the shop, the next best thing is the app. Beats having to go back and forth between the shop projects and the plans on my desktop computer, and my shop laptop is dedicated to running my laser and CNC. |
| 2024-01-24 |  | | Exceptionally useless |
| 2023-03-25 |  | | Doesn't show my subscription |
| 2022-11-03 |  | | An excellent woodworking magazine written by woodworkers for woodworkers. The explanations and drawings are very well conceived making them easy to follow. |
| 2022-10-18 |  | | The app doesn't work, Customer service never answer their emails. GET WOOD MAGAZINE INSTEAD |
| 2022-10-10 |  | | The app was updated a week ago and amazingly what was a pretty useless app has become even more useless. I cannot login, I cannot download any issues, every time you want to change the screen you have to reopen the app as the back button will not take you back. Fine Woodworking should admit they are good at woodworking, magazines, website, and totally suck at apps. They should kill the app and avoid this embarrassment. |
| 2022-07-20 |  | | Worse App EVER! Print subscriber and I could not even log in. Major FAIL! |
| 2022-02-05 |  | | There is zero security in this app. Anyone can download issues you paid for if they know your email address. It is poorly designed. Perhaps an automatic port of the iPad app. Obviously it was never tested by anyone who has a clue. It should be pulled from the Google Play Store. |
| 2021-08-11 |  | | Man, I love Fine Woodworking and I love my online subscription but this is really bad. I have a full digital membership and print membership but the app won't let me access the older issues or search articles. If I was Taunton I would just axe this app and just make sure the website works on people's phone browsers. |
| 2021-02-16 |  | | Great magazine with alot of how to's, and excellent tips for the pro, or beginner. |
