This Old House Customer Insights

1. I don't mind an ad here or there, but playing 15 minutes of unskipable and repetitive ads for a 22 minute program makes this an easy uninstall for me.Great platform for viewing This Old House videos on mobile devices! Smooth interface that makes it easy to navigate the content and view episodes in high quality.

2. With the app still not having Chromecast I am wondering why I am even paying to be an insider when it is so hard to watch the videos now... The quality of the content in the last few seasons has dropped as well.Horrible App.

3. The content works but the user experience sucks12/26/19- The app looks good and is easy to navigate, but unless you add a Chromecast feature I won't be using it very often.

4. Hope that's in the works too!! Very excited about all of the new ways you are sharing TOH!!!This Old House is 40+ years of great content and personalities whom I deeply appreciate and admire.

5. For the last 3 years they have been "trying to include a Chromecast button on the app." Seriously, they asked me if I tried AirPlay to fix the issue.

6. Tragic, because I love this show and paid for the year of use.Don't expect this app to be able to cast to Chromecast.

7. Doesn't even keep track of what videos have been watched, so every time you log in you have to remember and go thru the whole app to find where you left off.

8. Great content tho.Not Chromecast or screen mirroring capable.

9. As an Insider it would be a big value add to my subscription if this or the website had better chromecast support.

10. First, no Chromecast makes me wonder what the point of the app is in the first place (though I could get around this by casting my screen).

11. I cannot cast directly to my TV, if I want to watch on it I have to share my phone screen to my TV.
