Magnolia | Time Well Spent Reviews

by CCC274

You would think people who show such great hearts on tv would resemble that through their shop. Unfortunately, this is not so when it comes to their customer service. Received damaged items and told I had to ship back in order to get any refund. I bought these and received just in time. As I am moving with no address due to where we are going, I cannot wait for a return. Very disappointed! I spent a lot and couldn’t get any compensation for something that is not my fault.

First I tried renewing my magazine subscription. Nope. Can’t. Apparently my name is on their system twice so I have to have my subscription number - which is printed on the wrapper you throw away and not on the magazine. Great. I will not be getting any more issues - so now I have to call to try to work out the problem.
Then I filled my cart with over $200 in items to purchase. I clicked “proceed to check out.” It won’t proceed. Instead I get an error that Shopify says the item doesn’t exist. So one by one I remove each item - hoping to find the one that doesn’t exist. But apparently none of them exist. So empty cart and no way to purchase what I wanted.
Done. Not impressed with MagnoliaTimeWellSpent and don’t want to waste any more of my time on it to find out what else doesn’t work.

Shopping through MagnoliaTimeWellSpent is miserable! There’s a ridiculous delay for every single item you click on or add to your cart and the “search” feature is near impossible to locate! It’s at the very bottom of your screen where you have to scroll allll the way down to where you’d find the “Help” section. Not user friendly AT . ALL. Most of the time I receive an error when Im trying to shop until I ultimately just give up. Magnolia has lost countless sales from me due to the operation of MagnoliaTimeWellSpent while trying to shop.

I know its hard to believe, but there are actually lots of people who have to go sit at a McDonalds to submit school work or attend zoom calls. The least a subscription could offer is a downloadable content option so i can view some feel-good shows while lying on my couch at home, or have something new for the kids to watch on a long drive.
One star for Magnolia and Discovery Plus until the change is made. It’s a little ridiculous that they chose not to include downloads in their apps.

Sincerely,
Sitting at McDonalds writing this review

I only use MagnoliaTimeWellSpent to stream a show via ChromeCast. While I’m streaming I can’t open MagnoliaTimeWellSpent without it starting the show over. Then I have to click on the cast symbol then click the picture and then it brings me to a screen where I can tell it to go back where I was which all takes too long. I have to try to remember to navigate away from MagnoliaTimeWellSpent while I watch and never need to pause. Please fix this!

The streaming for MagnoliaTimeWellSpent is a little tedious. You can’t fast forward, rewind, etc. while streaming. If you try to it starts the episode over and you’re kind of stuck. Also, it may be beneficial to continue playing episodes after you’ve finished one rather than a blank screen waiting for you to click on the next episode. Other than that MagnoliaTimeWellSpent is wonderful!

I’d like to start by saying I love the content in MagnoliaTimeWellSpent , however, every time I try to sign in with my iPad, the sign in page fails to load. It won’t allow me to sign in even after refreshing multiple times. It does this too on my iPhone but not as many times... I also have trouble resuming an episode because the page won’t load. (I’ve made sure it’s not my internet and WiFi )

MagnoliaTimeWellSpent is identified as working well for an iPad but only if you want to use it and hold your device in portrait mode. Its clearly intended for a phone rather than iPad. I don’t know about anyone else but my case is not designed to hold my device in portrait mode but in landscape and MagnoliaTimeWellSpent just like instagram is portrait only. So — I wont be using it. Phone too small for good viewing and not a good user experience on my iPad. So disappointed.

I love MagnoliaTimeWellSpent and that everything is in one place. Only issue I’ve encountered is when pausing a show the audio continues to play while the video/audio for the episode restarts. The two audios then play layered simultaneously. Only fox I’ve found is to exit out of MagnoliaTimeWellSpent , restart the episode and fast forward to where I left off.

Thank you for Putting together such beautiful shows . Each one was such a delight to watch . I know they are wonderfully put together because I watched them until I finished them. And this is something for me to kept my attention that long .wow
Thank you so much

I love Magnolia and have always enjoyed what the produce! It’s beautiful, family-focused and shows they care about the individual. Their app has been super fun and easy to use. Simple and beautiful, with everything Magnolia you need in one place. The shows are super fun, telling beautiful and authentic stories. Just wish it wasn’t during Covid that so much was filmed! Would love to move on from that shenanigan. But all in all love the people and the stories they chose to showcase, gives me hope for the world and humanity! Ps. Please, enough is enough of Clint. I think it’s safe to say he has been given one too many opportunities for a show and there’s a reason they aren’t sticking...

by UB BOSS

These are great shows. I’m really enjoying the continent here. I’m looking forward to them and even more programming. I think the diversity is also really really great!
I love the fact that I can easily watch the stuff on my phone and on my television at home.

To Chip & Joanna. I know when you first began your journey you could have in no way imagined the direction your lives would take! It has been an honor to watch you grow as people and raising your family with the love of Christ as the Central focus.

Thank you for bringing hope to us, unimagined creative beauty, instilling the knowledge that hard labor pays off, that hard work can be fun, and for allowing us to dream of excitement in our lives as we navigate tough decisions and still love each other through tough times, fun times, and life in general.

I know it must have been very difficult with a growing family, tv persona, and all of the wonderful changes that have occurred since first coming up with the idea of televising your lives!

I am grateful, and personally, you have given me hope in God, my future, and that it really is okay just to be myself. Joanna you did that for me. Chip you solidified my feelings by loving Joanna so deeply, working so hard, and still maintaining a great since of fun and goofy! That’s life. A life well worth loving. Our Father is glorified in your strength and focus on Him through your work and love for all people!

Thank you for MagnoliaTimeWellSpent!

Magnolia, I need more Zoe Bakes, Magnolia Table, Homegrown, Ranch to Table, From The Source, Growing Floret, Van Go, & Fixer Upper Welcome Home. I have discovery+ so I’ve seen every show. They are All good, but those listed above are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES !!!! Sorry to see the Merediths go, but I get that it’s a business and they need to get their stuff under control, and not affect a brand new channel launch, so I get it. Keep up the good work.

by Mcbdale

I love the Magnolia shows, but the workshops are SO incredibly helpful.
I love the interior design ones with Hilary and the foundations of cooking and baking bread.
Even a workshop on buying vintage! I really hope they’ll keep the workshops and expand, I’m learning so much!

The only wish I have is that there was a “remember my login” so I don’t have to log in every other time.

In this world of mixed messaging from global leaders and a television system corrupted by political funding, it’s great to just get back to the basics of making the most of our moments, radishes don’t care what race you are, shiplap doesn’t argue who is allowed to enjoy it and sweat equity still has a value you can trade for goods. The favor on you has breathed sweet wind beneath so many’s wings. Your vision continues to land, reverberating around the world. Congratulations, thank you, we need you on the heels of these last two years. Well, we just need you guys!

I used to dream many lofty things. Now, like so many around the world....I just want a house that the Gaines built.

Keep it up. You’re collecting a lot of crowns in heaven.

I adore this network!

I’m a 68yo retired RN feeling lost after 2020, I stopped taking all my classes, carpentry, floral arrangements and baking.
I’ve become depressed sitting in front of my tv sick of watching the same old thing then along came you with these beautiful people and their stories and they have given me back my inspiration and energy to not give up yet. I’ve been through a lot but want to hold on to each lovely day I’m given. So thank you for these stories, I just hope to see some seniors that are lovingly living their lives and inspiring old folk like me!!
God Bless you both. Judith Pilling

It’s 2:20 EST on July 15th. Looking forward to Magnolia App to watch all these new amazing shows that have been previewed on Discovery+ app. Just went to down load Magnolia Network onto my iPhone from the link provided on Magnolia Network website, but instead of the network, I’m linked to the Magnolia store for home good shopping. Will try again in a few hours. Always snafus in beginning. Once I’m able to access the TV network through the link provided, I’ll bump up star rating. 2:27… something changed! I’m now able to see more about the TV shows zero. Woot!

Don't wait another second, download the Magnolia Network App to your TV and devices you'll love it. The programming is intentional, informative and inspiring.

There's something for everyone:
From Family Shows to Historical Restoration Rebuilds, Urban Gardens to Cooking with Chefs, Profiles of People following their dreams, what a great offering this network shares.

TIP: There's even FREE Workshops per interest like "how to choose the right cookware," "how to properly boil an egg," to watercolor painting, a guide to houseplants, home gardening, and how to find vintage items.

Our favorite shows so far have been:
Where We Call Home, Cabin Chronicles, From The Source with Chef Katie Button, and Super Dad.
Point of View (show) with different designers, the Jean Stoffer and Sarah Sherman Samuel episodes are inspiring. The Extraordinary Stories and An American Story shows are really interesting too. So many great options, you'll feel encouraged to try something new while appreciating the old.

I wasn’t aware that I had access to the workshops on the Magnolia app through my Discovery+ account until Hillary Walker mentioned it in one of her IG posts. So, I decided to check it out because I love everything that y’all have been putting out on the Magnolia Network. I’ve been working in digital marketing and communications for over 10 years and I have to say that the user experience is top notch on MagnoliaTimeWellSpent. You guys nailed it! I found what I was looking for with so much ease and the entire experience is simply beautiful. Thank you for putting so much thought and love into everything you do - it truly shows!

by Eli8**************

I had a hard time getting to watch the workshop videos. Many times it just shut down MagnoliaTimeWellSpent so I uninstalled MagnoliaTimeWellSpent & reinstalled it. It worked for a couple videos but then shut off again mid-video. It seems like it might be having trouble loading everything & so that’s why it just shuts MagnoliaTimeWellSpent off.

by Cynthia In SoCal

Easy to use and I like that I can watch the Magnolia Network straight from MagnoliaTimeWellSpent . So far I haven’t had any issues with user experience. Everything seems to flow and I like that I can do multiple functions all on the same app.
