title: The last issue a political rant

text: I was incredibly upset with the last issue.  The latest issue was extensively political and preachy.  When I pick up a magazine about hiking, I expect hiking: not climate change, political discussion about lack of funding, or how wonderful certain previous presidents have been.  I want a magazine about where the best hikes are, what to pack, and gear information.  I will cancelling my subscription because I can make up my own mind about politics and don't need to be told what to think.


title: wife is into bees and she loved it

text: nice


title: Repetitive, over-filled with ads, content has dwindled

text: I've been a subscriber to this magazine for over 6 years. At first, the articles and tips were great, tons of good information. Over the years I've noticed that they have started recycling old articles with little or no update. The magazines have reduced page count, fewer *quality* articles and more ads. I canceled my auto-renew subscription last year and will let it run out at the end of this year.


title: Finally, a magazine that I can actually use ideas from.

text: I love Real Simple. I've been reading it for years now and like that the magazine isn't too much one thing or another. There's a bit of decorating advice, a bit of cooking, a bit of fashion, and some great articles. None of the material is pretentious and it's all very accessable and applicable to my life (fashion isn't too expensive, home design isn't out of reach, recipies aren't overly-complicated or contain hard-to-find ingredients). I also do like that the magazine doesn't seem to be for one niche market or another, and I feel like I'll be able to read and enjoy Real Simple for many years to come!


title: Like the magazine very much

text: Really like all the Handy Hints


title: The only magazine I subscribe to

text: I am a 31 year old female lawyer with no tech background but lots of tech interest.  This magazine is a must for absolutely everyone.  It is universally interesting and I feel like the information it provides is a must-know for everyone these days, young and old, no matter what your profession.  I bought a subscription for my nephew, too, and it is super cheap.  I can't live without WIRED magazine.


low price and auto-renewal is working fine, enjoy the magazine. Would like to assure an easier opt out will work if I ever decide not to.


title: Good choice for mature women

text: This is a great magazine for the older woman. I am 69 years old and am turned off by the magazines catering to the anorexic crowd.


title: Did Not Order Renewal, cancelled renewal and harassment never stops.

text: Do NOT order this magazine. I ordered a one year subscription for my mom for Christmas. They automatically renewed it for which neither I, or my mom requested a renewal. I got a bill and went online to cancel the renewal. Still the harassment emails continue. THEN, they start harassing my mom with bills, sending threatening bills that say "pay instantly". Well, their tactics backfired. I will NEVER order another magazine again for myself or anyone else.


title: Five Stars

text: love reading it


title: Great magazine

text: Great articles, great info, great pictures.  Not much I don't like about this magazine.  The one thing that sticks out is the declining new product coverage, but overall it is fabulous.


title: Waste of time.

text: This magazine might be good if you were wealthy enough not to have to work, had time to work out four hours a day, had your own chef, could go on vacation six months out of the year, or could afford (or cared) about fashion. Otherwise don't bother. They sometimes have a decent or interesting article but they are so few and far between it is not worth it.


title: Archaeology

text: I subscribed to this publication as a gift to my daughter who devours each issue! She is a teacher and finds the knowledge gained is very interesting and helpful. As a bonus dad gets her cast off copies which I enjoy very much. I highly recommend this publication to anyone with an interest in archaeology.


title: Inspirational and Informative Magazine!

text: This is my favorite magazine! It has a bunch of artists who do wonderful watercolor. They share the materials they use and their processes. Anyone who is interested in learning to become a watercolor painter will enjoy the inspiration this magazine provides. I highly recommend it.


title: to many  ads

text: hoping mag  had good  ideas  none


title: Very Fast Renewal!

text: I'm not going to rate the magazine here, but rather the speed in which the re-subscription was implemented and the price, which was much cheaper than Time offered me. Highly reommend this method of subscribing to Time!


title: Wishing it was better

text: Like the photos and about 65% of the recipes.  Articles are marginal and sometimes weak.


title: -Okay-

text: I found that the project builds in this magazine were pretty dated. They had some tips and projects that seemed a little more modern but ultimately, I was not impressed. I greatly prefer WOOD Magazine.


title: Packed full with Simple Ideas!

text: I love receiving this magazine with it's household hints and super fast recipes!  Organization is the key and "Real Simple" shows how to do it!


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine. The article's are fascinating


Who knew? Such good deals on magazine subscriptions on Amazon. And my first issue came fast!

title: Saved by purchasing directly from website

text: I love this magazine.  However, it was cheaper to order from MEN website instead of Amazon.


title: Helpful

text: I live in the middle of a city, but I usually find some helpful ideas in each issue that I can apply.


title: Beautiful Photography

text: Thanks great articles that interest me


title: Great read. Love this magazine.

text: Unfortunately the price after 1 year subscription is not in my budget.


title: Gone

text: Publication of this mag has stopped. They are sending a replacement that I don’t want. I hate to see it go.


title: Not what I expected

text: Each issue has "maybe" one project. The rest of the magazine is full of YouTube "life hacks."


title: Five Stars

text: The product matched its description.


title: Lost the plot...

text: this used to be my favorite shelter magazine but since the new editor has lost it's luster - too bad...


title: Brio is Great for Girls

text:
I had this magazine growing up and I think it is great for girls.  I was highly disappointed when I reached the age that it was no longer for me.  I plan to sign my girls up for this magazine and I hope that breakaway proves to be just a wonderful for the guys.  I also plan on getting subscriptions for my nieces and nephews when they get older.

The reasons I enjoyed these magazines:  They discuss hair, make-up, guys, etc.  But they put a Christian spin on these things.  People think that because we are Christians that we don't have the same interest.  Well, I am here to tell you that Christian girls do like guys.  Also, in their teenage years and now even earlier, they are concerned with hair and make-up. So if the magazine gives tips on how to apply make-up that's great.

In addition, this magazine usually introduces a peer (usually a famous young actress) that is a Christian.  These are the role models I want for my children.  Not actress/actors that have drinking and drug problems.  The stories are inspiring and Christian based.

The section of brio that allows kids to ask questions, also opens doors for girls to find answers to questions they never new and maybe even never thought to ask.  It also allows for discussion of embarrassing moments and how to handle issues with friends, such as a friend that is experiementing with drugs or something.  I see nothing wrong with that.  And I think that the responses are great for kids to understand what type of situation needs addressing...such as when should I tell my Mom about this friend?

Brio is a great magazine.  Thanks Focus on the Family.


title: Magazine Great! Customer Service👎👎👎

text: The magazine itself is great for kids, but dealing with their subscriptions and customer service is bad, bad, bad!!! Bought the magazine as Xmas gift for Grandkids on 11/9 , as it was represented to me in ad that I recieved , it is now 12/30 and still no gift. Try explaining that to my 5 and 8 year old grandkids!!! Spent alot of time, hour on phone, 2 weeks by email for response, trying too contact customer service. They told me it would arrive the week of Xmas, still no Mags. They shouldn't let children down like that!!!!! They said it's the postal services fault, but you would think that Highlights would take that into consideration and adjust mail out times as not to let children keep waiting for their Gift. And we know how patient children are. NOT COOL!!! SCROOGE'S!!!


title: Another divisive “All AngloSaxsons are Racist” publication

text: I felt my IQ drop reading this, but their latest attacks on white women are pursuing the divisive nature of general media. Use “Racism” and sell more copies, to heck with reality. If you’re looking for a relaxing no-brain magazine - which this used to be - keep looking. If you’re looking for a one sided periodical with a set agenda, this is your ticket. I can’t say I’m disappointed in them, as this was a no/mind read to start. I am, however, disgusted by their new rhetoric.


title: Great magazine

text: I enjoy reading golf magazine because of its entertainment value and most of all because of the tips for a better game to improve am aspects of your game.


title: I love this magazine

text: I do a lot of cooking at home and I love to experiment with new ideas.  The food network magazine is a fun read and it helps me to keep my dinner items refreshed.  They also have fun articles about things such a food museums and events, different kitchen gadgets etc. that I enjoy reading as well.  Definitely my favorite magazine I get at the house.


title: Great tips that anyone can understand

text: My husband loves this magazine and so does my son in law.  Great tips that anyone can understand.  Useful ideas and reviews on tools and gagets  Well worth the price.


title: Smithsonian - you need to try it, if history is enjoyable.

text: This is a well done magazine.  Many very good articles for the history buff.  Well written.


title: Recently very bad

text:
I had a subscription to this magazine for almost 10 years, and I always read every article with interest. In the past 6 months, nearly every article has been a disappointment, either filled with fluffy, quasi-science or written by an author with an obvious bias. The latest issue came with a promotional CD from an oil company, and had an article about how fossil fuel emissions were not responsible for global warming. If that isn't a sign of what's gone wrong with Discover, I don't know what is.

If there is a dramatic improvement in the next few months, I might consider resubscribing, but likely not.


title: Issues ALWAYS missing or very, very late.

text: To make a long story short, I started my subscription many months ago, way back in I don't even remember what month, and to this date have NOT received a SINGLE issue. Also, their customer service, is very very bad. I contacted them like 5 times saying that have paid twenty bucks for this subscription a long time ago, and here's what they say, " We are sorry that you didn't get your issues, so contact us if you don't get it soon." As for the magazine itself, my fiend let me look at a few of his (he, also like me, hasn't received an issue in months) and let me tell you, it is out of date garbage. It had E3 coverage (E3 2011 is in June) in like august! IGN has much more info, and if there's anything important that only Nintendo Power subscribers get to know, IGN immediately tells everybody else. Nintendo Power is bad bad bad. There are so many words that I wish I could use to describe it but Amazon probably won't let me. Do yourself a favor, don't get Nintendo Power, and go to [...]


title: Great Mag...But Amazon is charging $22 more than sub cost

text: I found a how magazine and it is charging $29.99 for a subscription. I came across this same problem on another magazine that I was going to subscribe from Amazon...but the magazine itself was charging far less. I wrote Amazon about the price change (and they claim they correct prices in a few weeks) months later that magazine cost has not changed...<br />Not a good sign for Amazon...for magazine subsrciptions. I love Amazon...but why are they so out of whack with magazine costs?


title: Its OK

text: I enjoy the coupons, the articles are ok/somewhat helpful. I've bought a few issues before and need a few more to really decide whether this magazine is worth the subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: Always a great read, and on time.


title: Mechanically-inclined son loves this!

text: Didn't think there was a thing  my 44 yr.old VERY mechanically-inclined son didn't know about cars but he says he learns something new or how to do something better or easier from this magazine.


title: still a great car magazine

text: 23 yr.old gr.son loves this magazine - his dad & friends enjoy it, too. They say each edition is really different so it's never boring.


title: Don’t ever give as gift subscription!

text: The magazine itself is fine. Since I enjoyed it, I sent a check to New Beauty for a gift subscription for a friend. She never got a single issue! What’s really rich is they are sending her renewal notices! I am truly upset and cannot recommend them.


title: No Daytime Schedules.

text: Why do they think nobody watches TV during the day?

text: Magazine great but, as noted elsewhere, the time from purchase to receipt of the first copy was irritatingly long. I thought they'd lost the order.


title: This magazine has a lot of other stuff besides actual ...

text: This magazine has a lot of other stuff besides actual "women's health" concerns.  I just read the fitness, health, and nutrition parts, which unfortunately is not the bulk of this magazine.


title: A must have for every Florida gardener!

text: I have been getting this magazine for years. If you are into gardening and live in Florida this magazine will enrich your life and bring a smile to your face every other month. You will learn so much and get many new ideas to make your garden better by subscribing. I moved to Colorado and I still maintain my subscription. This magazine is so well written and delightful to read that I can't give it up.


title: Tired magazine

text: Getting a little tired of this magazine. Repeats of articles, and mostly ads..


title: Five Stars

text: Great deal!


title: Waste of money!

text: Reminds me of a pseudo-intellectual communist p.o.s. rag.


title: Good Food Good Wine

text: Purchased subscription on Cyber Monday for $5.00 for my girlfriend who always finds something she likes in every issue. Cannot complain. Just make sure to set a reminder on calendar to cancel subscription or you will be renewed with a new price.


title: Four Stars

text: Love


title: O, Oprah magazine

text: Absolutely the best price I've seen anywhere - $24 for 2 years ($12 for a year). Much more affordable than the magazine publisher offers!  ~ Jan


title: Worth the cost

text: Ok only one project got my interest.


title: Does not work with Android Phones or Tablets

text: Bought this for the kindle version only.  Turns out it does not work with ANY Android Smartphone or ANY Android Tablet.  If you are a apple user or kindle tablet user it does work.  There is a hidden pull down tab in the description that I missed when ordering.  My first and last experience with anything kindle.


title: Not worth the paper it is printed on

text: I've just canceled my subscription after receiving the first magazine in the mail.  It is pure advertising and empty articles.  Not worth the paper it is printed on.  I was very disappointed.  A case of getting what you pay for.


title: This magazine makes me look like a Top Chef!

text:
I enjoy receiving this magazine in the mail every month.
Easy to read articles and great pictures help me cook like a pro.
With over 25 new recipes in every issue, I never run out of ideas for dinner.
I will always renew my Food Network Magazine.


title: Nice size print

text: I ordered these for my mom in her retirement home. She really enjoys these and loves to share with her friends.


title: Good Articles from varying authors

text: The variety of articles is great and the contributing authors are very highly qualified. The pictures and instructional graphics are top notch and help explain the more detailed/technical advice. Highly recommend!


title: Nature, Literature, and Photography

text: This is the only print magazine I subscribe to. The gorgeous ad-free nonfiction, poetry, photography, short stories, and book reviews are my monthly dose of intellectual appreciation of nature. Highly recommended.


title: Great Magazine...glad it's still around

text: Amazing the magazine is as thick today as it was back in the 70's.  I hope they are published & around 50 years from now. I know I won't be.


title: SI is cool

text: Reading is cool

title: Great magazine! If you are looking for a little ...

text: Great magazine! If you are looking for a little more depth and thought than Mother Earth news.... This is a must subscribe.


title: Only received two issues of the magazine!

text: There is a Lack of content and they only sent me two of the 12 issues! Buyer be ware!  There is really no valuable info in these magazines.


title: wonderful magazine

text: I really look forward to getting this magazine.  It has wonderful tips for cooking, and for buying equipment for your kitchen.


title: Amazing deal

text: This is seriously the best deal you will ever get for vogue. The electronic version is phenomenal (interactive videos and exclusives), and it's very nice to get the paper as well. Couldn't be happier with the purchase.


title: it's a great magazine.

text: Bought this magazine for my son.  Other than the fact that it's got too many advertisements, it's a great magazine.


title: Love the magazine

text: I just received my first issue of Shutterbug.  Despite the many pages of advertising (some of which is actually informative), I find that the magazine is full of helpful tips, supplemented by products that are relevant to the advice.  I look forward to the other issues and if the quality of the magazine endures, so will my subscription to it.


title: Tacky offer for a credible magazine

text: I subscribed to the $12 offer w/o any milage perks and cancelled 1 ½ weeks later because 1) the articles were more often global than US in focus and 2) I felt the 3 articles/week limit was ‘tacky’ because one week I might find no articles of interest while the next week I might find 4 articles interesting and 3) they had already written the article so why the ‘tacky & petty’ game?


title: A bit disappointed.

text: I have not subscribed to this for many years. The quality seems to have dropped off a bit.


title: Pinterest - With Less Inspiration

text: There is very little 'DIY' in this.  It is basically a huge advertisement outlet - both printed advertisements and product placements.  I'm happy that my 1-yr subscription was only $3.75 (but still over priced for this product).  Think of Pinterest with less inspriation and an Ana White project thrown in - the difference is that you can find different ideas on Pinterest and Ana White is actually useful.


title: good information

text: I like the artists chosen by Watercolor Artist.  I find the publication helpfull for my oun journey in watercolor painting;


Beyond great reviews of NYC arts and eats, The New Yorker has some of the best writers and contributors in print today. For political and social commentary, book, television and movie reviews, I know of no better source.


title: Very little about mechanics, more about feelings and politics.

text: Nothing much about mechanics. Seemed more like a social justice warrior magazine with a agenda to push. I bought this for my son because he likes mechanics. After the 3rd magazine I started taking them straight from the mailbox to the recycling bin.


title: Lousy magazine

text: I got my first edition today. Yuck. Not a thing I liked. Waste of paper and my time. Definitely will not renew.

title: Enjoyable

text: Lots of little tricks and tips.


title: Very good

text: My granddaughter is enjoying the magazine.


title: HORRIBLE!

text: Not only did the magazine subscription take FOUR months to get, it is AWFUL!  There is not one thing in there my 9 year old OR I would eat!  HORRIBLE!!!!!


title: Great price for RD.

text: Best price ever, if you a Reader's Digest fan, this was the best price ever.  Great for bathroom reading.


title: found this as a kid. still like it today.

text: I enjoyed the tech oriented articles of this magazine.<br />I remember finding it as a kid in the library.


title: Smithsonian Magazine

text: I bought this subscription because this magazine has great pictues and really good articles.  I use to buy it directly from the Smithsonian however, I saw the price on Amazon & jumped at the chance to switch because the Amazon price is $12 for a year (it comes once a month) -vs- the Smithsonian price of renewal @ $39!!! for the SAME EXACT MAGAZINE...

text: I enjoy this magazine. I'm going to get some subscriptions for my daughters-in-love. You know the wonderful women who married my sons.


title: Slightly inconsistent magazine with several great reads a year

text:
I've been reading Esquire for close to two decades now.  During that time I've started and stopped several other magazine subscriptions, but Esquire has always kept coming in my mailbox.  I'll be honest, it's not the best or most consistent magazine out there.  So, why do I keep subscribing?

The good:

1.  Every few months, Esquire has some great journalism articles geared towards laypersons.  I currently get the Economist, and while I love that magazine, it's not accessible to most (price, topics, writing style).
2.  What I've Learned -- It's by far my favorite section in the magazine and contains 1 page of anecdotes/lessons from living legends (and up & coming stars) in sports, politics, acting, writing, etc.  Esquire should really considering binding all of these into a stand alone book.
3.  The fashion advice column (while still aimed at a wealthier demographic) is a lot more accessible than that in other men's magazines.
4.  A couple times a year, there is some great short fiction.

The bad:

1.  In the last few years, the pages have been bloating with more ads, but it's nowhere near as bad as GQ or many others.
2.  With the success of magazines like Maxim, Esquire has unfortunately begun including similar humor and columns aimed at a younger audience.  I wish they'd go back to their roots.
3.  In recent years, the magazine has certainly begun leaning left, and it shows in nearly every issue.  It seems to me in the 90s, the magazine did a great job of remaining impartial -- or maybe it's just something I'm finally noticing as I age.

In short, for how cheap the magazine is, it's a steal to get several great reads a year.


title: I hate it

text:
This magazine is a waste.  It is a magazine that specializes in basically "pimped-out" rapper cars, which are simply not cool cars.

Having 25 inch rims with really virtually not existant tires not only looks ridiculous, but is horrible for your car.  Also, this magazine seems to support popping the big rims on absolutely any car.  You got a 92 civic, according to Dub, your car will stop looking like crap and start looking like a pimp-mobile if you just smack some 22s on there.

this magazine doesn't really have any purpose.  Every issue comes out with more pictures of cars that are just trying to mimic the cars in the last issue.  To the magazines credit, it has come up with a brilliant marketing scheme.  It liscenses stupid looking cheap car accessories, and then puts them in its magazine to make them "cool" so it can rake in the profits from them.


title: Ridiculously Boring Magazine

text: i bought this magazine subscription for my husband and to support lymphoma research.  he received one issue and didn't bother to read much because he thought it was a woman's magazine, due the many scantily clad MEN in the magazine and the front cover question, "Have you had sex with Colin Farrell yet?"  a decidedly female oriented question to females.  unless the magazine is actually for gay men & i was caught unawares.  when he heard from me that it was in actuality a MEN'S magazine, he perused it again, reading some of the articles and was entirely unsatisfied.  thankfully, i ordered this subscription though a company that guarantees satisfaction and was able to change it to something more worth our time.<br />if all you are interested in is advertisements galore, photographs of more men than women (i.e. you are a heterosexual woman who isn't looking at the magazine for its words or are a happily or closeted gay man equally uninterested in its articles and would like to answer a resounding "YES!!!" to the front cover question) and articles that are only marginally well written, than this is the magazine for you.


title: Perfect for the new(ish) homeowner

text:
My favorite magazine for DIY advice and inspiration. Perfect for the homeowner who needs some guidance when tackling household projects. It's written in easy to understand language and the how-to articles feature lots of pictures and diagrams.

Also. Despite being called "Family HandyMAN", a good portion of the articles are written or illustrated by women. As a woman, I did not feel excluded.


title: A great 'read'

text: I truly enjoy this magazine.


title: amazing. worth the yearly subscription

text: amazing.  worth the yearly subscription


title: Five Stars

text: Best Magazine I have ever paid for. Always the most interesting stuff in them and samples!


title: 100 pages of garbage

text: Um. This is 100 of self-promotion garbage. There is almost no inspiration or valuable home improvement insights. It’s all about THEM and their crap. And why put yourself on every cover?!? You ain’t Oprah. Man, Sunset Magazine is a million times better. Unsubscribe. Literally.


title: Positive experience

text: This magazine is awesome and I love that amazon auto renews it for me. My subscription just keeps going. It's great!


title: held my interest

text: lots of good ideas, and tips


title: Need Creative Jumpstart..... then you neef this!

text:
Bought this for my daughter because she was starting to be brain drained from having to keep coming up with new ideas to keep her 17 month old son entertained while creatively teaching him something new! She loves this. Her son loves to eat..... but loves to help prepare the meals and snacks. Even the ideas for some of the older groups can be adapted to suit younger ones as well.

Well worth investing in. Will help you jump start newer creative ideas. I'm glad she loves it too.


title: Great gift for young reader

text: Order arrived promptly.  Great magazine - grand daughter really likes it. Encourages reading and is a win / win gift.


title: Never arrived!

text: Holy rip off, batman! I ordered a couple of subscriptions to this magazine for my dad and uncle last Christmas (figured they could use the help!). About a month before Christmas this year I asked them how they were enjoying their subscriptions - I figured it would be an easy gift to renew for them. Neither one knew what I was talking about! I went back into my order on Amazon and made sure that their addresses had been correctly entered. After verifying this, I sent an e-mail to complain. I heard nothing back, so a couple months later I sent ANOTHER e-mail to check on my options here - why should I pay for two subscriptions that were never delivered? Again, my request for information was ignored. I received an e-mail saying that my request had been received and that someone would be following up with me, but no one ever did. I could not be more disatisfied with this purchase. To this day I have been telling everyone to avoid ordering magazines through Amazon. And I have been equally hard on Amazon's customer service, which has ignored me TWICE now. Most of my Amazon experiences have been pleasant, but this one leaves an awful taste in my mouth. Even my friend who works out there at Amazon didn't know what to say. I gave this product one star for the excitement it gave me when I ordered it. That's the only good thing I can say about it.


title: Great magazine

text: I purchased this for my father who is a retired veteran and VERY hard to shop for. He consistently speaks very highly of this magazine, he reads almost every story and then loans me his old issue when the new one comes so we can talk about it. If you have a history lover in your life and are looking for a decent gift for them like I was then this is a great option. I will likely keep the subscription going.


title: Love the tradition

text: Love the tradition of this magazine.  Seems to have gotten more intensive on the whole designer side of things, which doesn't interest me as much as the cooking, southern traveling side does.  Plus I'm a super healthy eater now, and the recipes are often not healthy at all.  Not sure I'd change that though because it's about being southern, and some southern foods, like all foods, traditionally just aren't that healthy but still fun.


title: Bluegrass Unlimited

text: I surprised my husband who had subscribed to this magazine years ago before he married me but had let his subscription lapse.  After he'd read the December issue from cover to cover, he said, "It's as good as I remember it."  Thanks Bluegrass editors for continuing a quality magazine.


title: Good read, works as kindling in a pinch too!

text: Great timeless mag.  Wish I could find the counterpart; unpopular mechanics.


title: Street Bikes

text: What can i say street bikes kick ass, although there are better magazines like sport rider but this one is still good especially for the price i got it for with 1 yr subscription.


title: never recieved the magazine though was charged for it!

text: I ordered this subscription last March (2009)  and have yet to receive a copy. Have asked for a refund from Amazon. Very disappointed in Intermezzo. Will never bother with it again.


title: Waste of money!

text: Any other food magazine has way better content, more healthy recipes, and is entertaining to read.  This magazine is thin with very few recipes that even look tempting. A waste of my money, I definitely will not buy this again.


title: Lovely magazine for pre teen!

text: My niece loves receiving this magazine in the mail.  She is 10 and it's perfect for her!


title: Good reading material.

text: My grandson loves it.


title: Glad to back in the Handyman Family

text: Great for beginners too Pro’s


title: Too political

text:
Im so sad, I wanted to read about fashion, us vogue not from me very political, and of course just one-sided.

Pretty pictures, vast amount of ads.


title: Wouldn’t suggest this magazine.

text: This magazine has gone down hill quickly. The writing is terrible and the journalistic quality is nonexistent.


title: Love this magazine!

text: I have been a subscriber to this magazine for more than 4 years, now, and I love it. I will definitely continue subscribing to this! It has interesting articles and never disappoints! It's amazing to see all of the new technology that is coming out and to see all of the innovative things that are being done!<br />I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in this type of thing.


title: Great buy!

text: I love this magazine and have been a subscriber, now, for 4 years. I love reading about all of the newest, top of the line inventions that are coming out. The articles are very interesting and informative if you are at all interested in machinery and technology.


title: Terrible. Not a magazine, at all, more like an ad portfolio

text: If you enjoy looking at pages and pages of nothing but expensive, high fashion editorial pictures then this is the magazine for you. Personally, I thought this was the worst waste of money ever. There was nothing remotely interesting in this so called magazine, it was just filled with pasty anorexic models that I assume looked human at some point in their life time, and it was nearly always impossible to figure out what was even being advertised. There are no articles, no information is being communicated at all. This is literally just for looking at editorial photo shoots of ugly stick figures in ugly make up with ugly hair styles and ugly clothes that no one could afford, anyway. Don't waste your money unless you enjoy looking through portfolios.


title: Very informative

text: Love this magazine.  Great recipes and content.


title: Great MAgazine

text: A great source of timely information for those in the trade and those of us who are not but want to learn more about building sciences.


title: Great Magazine

text: One of the best photography magazines out there.  Well researched and written articles


title: Gift for my wife

text: She likes it, that is all that matters to me. Like the old saying, "If mama is not happy, no one is  happy".


title: Political Propoganda RAG

text: I used to read these a few years ago and looked forward to getting back in the groove. The first magazine I got had an article on racism with a BIG picture of BLM.  Then another on the virtues of Abortion - an another article talking crap about Republicans and voting suppression... NOT what I want in a Scientific Magazine - I cancelled my subscription and threw them in the trash.


title: Food Network magazine

text: Loved the magazine.  I really enjoy the articles and recipes.  The ones I have tried were great.  the tote was a nice plus.


title: Can't buy what I want...

text:
I find it really hard to believe that I can't purchase a 6 month subscription as a gift without an automatic renewal.

I don't want to spend $70 on my gift.  Who does that?
I don't want to be sucked into a setup that automatically drains my credit card until I realize that a subscription I am not going to receive is still arriving.  Who does that?
I don't want the extra burden of remembering to cancel this in 6 months.  Nobody does that (which is why the companies structure their sales this way).

Why can't these people get a clue and allow a customer with good money to purchase what they want.
It is a shame that a good magazine is getting a bad rating because of their sales structure.


title: Great magazine!

text: Exactly what I was looking for. King quick and all the information about Kipp lanes that you would want to know is in there.


title: Popular Science

text: Great mag for kids and adults alike. Kids drink it up and can't wait for the next issue each month! Great price too. Thanks, Amazon!


title: Wonderful

text: I like the variety of destinations, US and Abroad


title: The best

text: My favorite periodical.  Beats the heck out of American versions.  Lots of content; little comparative advertising.  I look forward to it every time.  Worth the bucks.


title: Family tradition!

text: Have loved RD my whole life?


title: Five Stars

text: My favorite magazine for women over 40. Price was good too.


title: Revista

text: Excelente revista


title: Doesn't worki

text: I tried 3 times to order the automatic renewal for $10.  At the end, the cart kept coming us a total of $19.95.  I give up.


title: best travel info

text: This magazine has taken me through places I would never have thought to visit.....and some I won't visit!! The reviews are always amusing and beneficial.  I save these magazines from year to year knowing I can look back and read about places we intend to travel.


title: Five Stars

text: Best deal anywhere!


title: I like it!

text: I bought this magazine for my aged Aunt but I enjoyed it just as much.


title: Great magazine for ultra running

text: Very informative articles.


title: Martha is fabulous!

text: Knowledge, enjoyment and just plain fun.


title: Véranda is a must have!

text: I've been a Véranda devotee for over twenty years.<br />So yes, this magazine is absutelutely fabulous for classic interior design.


title: Alawys fascinating!

text: An old favorite with aduls and kids - informative, amazing pictures, facts and an eye opener to the world we live in! These are good for projects, reference,  and many other research sources......a real life mag.. that sparks questions and interest - a teaching tool, not a cute home decor manual!


title: excellent magazine

text: excellent magazine. hope my son gets more into it.


title: Good magazine

text: My daughter is only 6 years old. It's a good magazine, but she's a bit young for it.


title: One of the articles in it convinced me to get my doctor to change my prescription and he agreed!!

text: While it's mainly a front for selling vitamins and supplements, it has amazing articles that have even convinced me to get my doctor to change my prescription and he agreed. For that, I give it five stars.


title: Great Magazine, just don't buy it here

text:
Beautiful, well-published magazine (why can't the US based mac publishers produce something of this quality???)  iCreate blows MacLife and MacWorld away, they are not even in the same league.

This price is a bit higher than purchasing it directly from the publisher's website. If you look inside a copy of the magazine itself, and they offer US subscribers a price of $126 for 13 issues (at the Nov 2009 exchange rate).  The offer code required for this discount is "USA".

Now, I just can't wait for the next big announcement from Apple next week!


title: Dull and hasn't changed with the times.

text:
I read this magazine as a kid and liked it well enough but it hasn't changed at all in 4 decades and now comes across as dull and dated. My 6-year old son received it as a gift.  He hasn't been interested in reading it, and the few times I've tried to read it with him,it's hard to find anything you want to read in it.  The graphics look like something from the 1960s, and the stories are moralistic and boring.  The magazine is also
obsessed with "hidden pictures" puzzles, which maybe some kids like, but I find utterly tedious (and my son
does too).  I cancelled the subscription.  Try Ladybug instead for much better stories and artwork.


title: Four Stars

text: Great!


title: DISAPPOINTED

text: i love animals and have had dog fancy before, too many advertisements, needs more info about dogs instead would be better


title: Five Stars

text: Es ist immer gut eine andere Ansicht zu lesen !


title: Well-Written and Professionally Produced.

text: I found this magazine to be colorful, well written, and professionally produced.


title: One Star

text: The magazine was mostly advertisements and splashy photos of over-garnished foods.


title: Condé Nast Will Not Get My Support

text: While I appreciated their content for the discounted rate for the year, recent events have brought to light the pay equity issues and difficulty BIPOC contributors have had. Until proof of changes and back-pay is provided to those that earned it, I’m not going to support a company that doesn’t treat all their employees fairly. My money can and will go to better programs.


title: Not worth the money

text: So may advertisements.....so few good recipes!<br />Waste of money.


title: Five Stars

text: Top Gear Magazine


title: Do not buy through Amazon but directly

text: I bought National Geographics for my elderly father over 3 months ago. To this day no magazines have arrived. Tired of waiting and after a phone call from him, I barred the wait to talked to someone in NG. They told me that going through Amazon takes at least 3 months!!! and that they have shiped my order two day ago and it will take 2 weeks in transport. If I go directly through them it takes 1 months.


title: Lame!

text:
The first rule I learned in Journalism 101 (shortly before dropping the class) was "Always remain objective". At OXM, editors and writers alike check thier objectivity at the door.
OXM is a nicely laid out magazine. Unfortunatley it's content is very weak. When I read a video game magazine I want it to first be informative. While OXM is "informative", it's the XBox "attitude" that gets in the way. The editorial and writing staff try so hard to be hip, cool and edgey that they come across as a joke. If you read in between the pot shots taken at Sony and the PS2 there is some relevant information. But it tends to get lost amidst the puns and attempts at being humorous.
The second thing I want from a magazine, are objective opinions. With OXM, objectivity goes out the window. Though most games that are reviewed are pretty informative, often times a mediocre game will score significantly higher than in other game magazines. Which makes me wonder exactly who is writing these reviews. Also, every issue is loaded with countless digs at Sony and Nintendo. After the first few pages it becomes childish and unamusing.
The saving grace of the magazine is the demo disc. On it you can get some downloads including bonus levels for some games. Unfortunatley it's not included here.
Considering the content of this magazine, I'd recomend picking it up on an issue by issue basis depending on what is included in the demo disc. For a better all around objectively written game magazine, I'd recomend Game Informer.


title: Not what it once was

text:
As an avid DIY junkie, and a thrify and eco-conscious consumer, I used to be a HUGE fan of readymade.  i'm not sure what happened- change in editor or something (?)- but the last 3-4 issues (or so) have just been crap.  i am definitely NOT renewing my subscription.

first off, the 'instructions' are useless- either too obvious, or too vague.  for example, this issue features instructions for making herbal vinegar: put vinegar and "washed herbs of your choice" in a jar and shake. REALLY?!?  there's a similar 'recipe' for homemade herbal tea (boil, strain, drink)... SERIOUSLY?!?  a few more complex projects are useless in their vagueness: they have no diagrams, sometimes not even a picture.

as another reader mentioned, there has been a big increase in recipes and food articles (approaching, if not exceeding 50% of the magazine content).  also, tons of space devoted to shopping guides for good cause and cool stuff small businesses (fine, but not really helping me do-it-myself), as well as what various 'stylish' people do in their homes or for work (great for them, not all that useful for me- more about nice vintage finds or inherited pieces, minimally about how-to).

this issue (roughly):
90 pages total=
13 pages of projects (generous estimate, most are part of a page)
13 pages of gift/ shopping ideas (not including ads)
18 pages food/ recipes
28 full page ads
10-15 pages of lifestyle type articles, on what hip folks are up to

i guess i'm back to the internet for my DIY projects fix.


title: So far no issues yet

text: So far I have not received any magazine issues


title: So so

text: I have only received the first issue of my subscription.  I was not as impressed as I thought I would be.  I had anticipated more DIY construction projects and better depth to news clips.


title: Information in the WDJ added years to GS's life

text: We have subscribed to the WDJ for many years and there is always something new to learn.  The researched information, reviews, and recommendations have proved invaluable throughout.  Especially helpful were the articles pertaining to health care for our aged dogs:  including lists of the WDJ's approved top dog foods and articles on nutritious diets.  In particular, the excellent and well researched information regarding Yeast infections helped our German Shepherd live happily for an additional 2 years after the Vet gave up on her.  Our family is extremely grateful and indebted to the staff and authors of the Whole Dog Journal.  Thank you!


title: Child needs to be older - 3rd-4th maybe.

text: Topics are not interesting to my granddaughter nor to me half the time. Sorry. Wish I had chosen a different magazine.


title: The best

text: The best business mag out there


title: Not as good as it used to be

text: Got this for my son, a teenager, he like it for the first year or so then kind of fell away from reading it, he wasn't enjoying the articles any more.  I used to love reading PM, but there's just something about the tone nowadays that I can't quite put my finger on, but it's just not fun to read anymore.  My father and I both have made woodworking projects found in past issues, but the various projects nowadays just don't seem very practical or interesting.  I guess I'd say that I'm not quite sure what audience they're aiming for, and it seems that they don't either.


title: In depth stories

text: In depth coverage of companies and industries. In almost every issue, it has coverage and stories about individual companies, industries, issues facing businesses and society. Unlike some magazines, Businessweek moves beyond the headlines, sound bites, it offers behind the scenes look of real stories and trends taking shape. Informative and thought provoking.


title: Art of the West

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for years.  It is my favorite art magazine.  Great artist, well written and nice diversity of subjects.


title: Love this Magazine!

text: Everything country is here!  Helpful tips, recipes, colorful pictures and ideas for decorating - I love it all !!  I can't wait for the next month's issue :-)


title: very disappointed

text: Just received first book.  What a disappointment and waste of money!  The recipes aren't anything  most advanced home chefs would even prepare.  The description  of the book and reviews were a little misleading and it is definitely not geared towards the average chef at home wanting to make sophisticated, yet simple meals.  Recipes a little over the top for the home chef.  I wouldn't waste the money on this magazine/book if your a home chef  looking for new ideas or recipes.


title: The most used magazine in my office!

text: I purchased this for my office. I'm always amazed at how many kids read through this magazine. It's a hit!


title: A REAL Professional Photographer's magazine

text:
Before I subscribed to this I read through a lot of reviews, because I did NOT want a mag like Popular Photography, full of "articles" about gear and toys that simply pay money to be reviewed or vaguely mentioned. I wanted to know about running a better photography business for my clients and how to "step up my game" in the industry.
  After subscribing, I am excited for every issue that shows up. It's truly about being a professional photographer, which means it's about the BUSINESS of photography. Real professional photographers know that the tricks, techniques, and toys have to be earned with years of experience, classes, and a few mistakes along the way. This magazine is definitely published for real professional photographers.
  To be clear, I am not yet a member of PPA. I've been working and shooting in the photography industry since 2003. I have an AAS in Commercial Photography, I'm a part-time wedding/portrait photographer and I'm a full-time Studio Producer for a large corporate studio.  When I read about photography I want to learn about elevating my business, get advice from smart commercial photographers, and find relevant vendors or tools to work with. This magazine provides all of that.

title: Not received!!!!!

text: I ordered this mag. since it was on sale as a gift for my mother in Dec. 2009. It's now mid-Feb., I've been requested to provide feedback, but she still hasn't received the mag. All other mags. I've ordered have arrived. Plus, it says the subscription expires Jan. 2011, but I ordered 12 issues and haven't received the first yet.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine. My husband loves it.


The magazine is great.  I did NOT receive the gym bag.


title: Best magazine ever!

text: It's great to be back in Texas and of course I had to have Texas Monthly.  I love the in-depth articles especially.


title: Love this magazine

text: I've read Fast Company for years and this subscription was purchased for my son-in-law who is a sitcom writer.  I felt it would help him stay on top of the trends.


title: Great product and service

text: The magazine subscription was purchased for my wife and she loves it.  When I ordered it said it could take months to receive the first issue but in less than one month the first issue arrived.


title: Living the Florida Life

text: Nice variety of articles pertaining to the entire state.  Articles vary each issue.  Only problem is that it is not published each month of the year.  Still, a good bargain for the money.


title: Three Stars

text: missed the expectation


title: On our third yearly subscription

text: Just wonderful.  If you have a nature loving kid, this is perfect.  My 8 year old son reads this from cover to cover then makes sure to save every issue in case he needs to reference.


title: A great objective news magazine

text: I have been a subscriber since 1994 and find this publication to be very truthful and unbiased regarding accuracy in reporting. It is the best national news magazine available today.


title: Good Read

text: Favorite magazine!!+


title: 12 month subscription - received 2 issues

text: I had forgotten that we even had a subscription when I rec'd a renewal notice.  I called.  Waited on hold for over 20 min.  Shared what had happened.  Was informed that the agent was unable to extend my subscription, supervisors are on break, and I should call back "in 48 hours."  So disappointing.  I've always loved the magazine.  Just wish they could get it to me.

title: Make: Makes My Day!

text:
I first found out about Make Magazine while searching for information about robotics online. I came accross complete instructions on building a light-chasing robot out of an old computer mouse on the Make magazine web site--and was immediately hooked.

The pages of these magazines are filled with fascinating projects that use items you can find around the house, at garage sales, or online. The most recent issue I received had a collection of cool spy gadgets to build, from a pressure switch alarm made with a clothes-pin, to a laser communicator that allows you to send your voice over the beam from a laser pointer.

Make: Magazine has articles on projects that other "Makers" have developed, such as a hovercraft chair; and on interesting things that people do, such as the article on the man who collects "Magic Lanterns" from the 1800s. I even find myself looking through the advertising pages--something I never do with other magazines--because the advertisements are for such cool stuff (rare earth magnets, science kits, robot controllers, etc...)!

This is a magazine that anyone who loves to tinker will absolutely love.


title: Great tips and projects

text: I've been subscribing to this magazine for years and have always enjoyed it.  It's very convenient and easy to manage through Amazon.


title: It's the Reader's Digest

text: Love the jokes and the light articles.


title: men care about their health

text: Hey Prevention, men do exist and care about their health as much as women. What a sexist magazine prevention has become. If prevention dared to focus solely on male health there would be congressional hearings.

text: This magazine is kinda boring to me.


title: great price

text: great price  but I do hate that I am required, x number of words when a few work for what I need


title: Excellent resource

text: I've subscribed to CR for years. Not only do you get actual ratings on specific models (which are sometimes out of date by print time), but you get very specific advice on how to pick what you are looking for.<br />Do you know how to pick out the best mattress? Or what questions to ask when buying auto insurance? Or the types of retailers to go to for the item you are looking for? Or what to do if you have a warranty problem? These types of things are all covered, by people who are paid not by advertisers, but by subscribers and individual donations. Their views are therefore the most objective one can find.


title: Something for everyone!

text: I almost didn't buy my 97-year-old dad a subscription because of the negative reviews, but I am glad I did. We've been enjoying it immensely. (Dad, 97; Sister, 73; Me, 61). There really is something for everyone.

text:
I dislike the high

But the magazine is up to date with articles on breeds and advice about cats. I have 2 cats myself.Catster has been very helpful with their advice.


title: Fashion!

text: I love Elle magazine so much but would love to see more beautiful covers with different exotic locations or more artistic covers. Most of the covers are done in a studio with no background. And celebrity covers are getting too repetitive and not fashion focused. Celebrities mostly have stylists and a lot don't have great personal style sense...so as a fashion lover it's pointless to see them on the cover. I would love to see more women on the cover who love fashion like fashion bloggers, models (who have a great eye for style, stylists, and influencers..or people who are not movie actors or singers who love fashion, art, and style. Also, would love more articles with fashion influencers, how to put a look together, and more street style.

title: Not as much fun as it used to be

text:
Wired used to be a hacker guide - giving out great tips and tricks on all things technical.  As it has matured, so have the articles, and they are much less intersting than it used to be...

Dissappointed


title: Good Comic

text:
I bought this comic for my son who at the time was about 12.  The subject matter in the comic is surprisingly strong for a Superman title.  It is fine for him, but is very questionable for his younger siblings.  He actually reads it first and then decides if they can read it as well.

There are other DC comics that are better suited to a younger audience.

I do not know if there are ratings systems for comics like there are for movies and videogames, but if there are, this would be PG-13

Cautiously pleased with this purchase.


title: Five Stars

text: great price


title: nice mag at a great

text: ...nice mag at a great price


title: More than fashion

text: I have absolutely no interest in the fashion aspect of this magazine but each issue always has one, and usually more, interesting articles on a wide variety of topics.  Absolutely worth the low subscription price.


title: I have been a long time subscriber to this magazine ...

text: I have been a long time subscriber to this magazine but my current subscription expires with the Mar/Apr 2017 issue and I will not be renewing. The quality has nosedived ( monthly to bi-monthly and smaller issues on top of that ) and the politics have exponentially increased; should be called "Politically Biased Science" now.


title: Love  my Oprah magazine

text: I keep all of them. When I read readers' comments on past issues, I have them for reference. The magazine is so comprehensive; something for everyone


title: Great price but not the digital version.

text: Great price for the magazine. Wish the digital version was an option instead or as an add-on.


title: Great Magazine.

text: I like how many different types of projects and work that are covered in this magazine.  Glad I get it.


title: I really enjoy this magazine

text: I really enjoy this magazine; it has a little of everything; very heavy on diet stuff, but it has book reviews, reciepes, and great pictures.


title: Five Stars

text: Articles are based on science.


title: Country Living England

text: My wife is from England so I order it for her.  It keeps her in touch with home.  The articles are well written and I love to read the My Countryside article at the end of the magazine.  My wife and I really love looking at the country homes for sale.  It is fun to see if we choose the same one that we would like to purchase.  Overall the magazine is very enjoyable with lots of great pictures and recipes.  We really enjoy the magazine.


title: this is why print media is dying

text: I had high expectations with this magazine. I wanted something that would give me ideas about new places to travel. Something like a lonely planet guide with national geographic style pics and stories. Alas...what we get is a brochure of all luxury resorts and hotels across the world. If you are looking at an article on Hawaii, they will conveniently avoid talking about any tourist attractions and devote pages on various rooms and spas inside maui resorts. Why am I paying for this? I should be paid to read this instead.


title: Five Stars

text: Good writing and informative articles.


title: Daughter loves it

text: She's a jeweler/artist.  This is a gift from me to her each year at the Christmas time of the season.


title: Cost is only one of many factors.

text: Some product reviews (particularly food) in Consumer Reports are out of wack with reality; e.g., how many people purchase mayonaise based solely upon cost per ounce?  Taste and nutrition facts, I believe are more important - although they receive no consideration.


title: The best for BMW owners and lovers

text: Contains the best reviews and advices for BMW cars. Even ads are great because the are intended for our cars.


title: Excellent

text: I used National Geographic as a resource when I was teaching.  So I have picked the best periodicals for my granddaughter.


title: Don't subscribe

text: Same thing as previous review. I only wanted one, they've donned me for two.


title: A must have for every homeowner

text: I look forward to getting this magazine every month. It is written in a very down to earth style that anyone can follow. Unlike many other magazines that push agendas dictated by advertisers and sponsors, Family Handyman seems to take a much more practical approach. The focus on tried and true techniques and products, as influenced by their field editors and readers. I feel like as an amateur DIY'er I can actually complete the projects they describe. Also, if they know that Amazon has a good price on a product, they point you in that direction. For around $10/year this is by far the best magazine I get. Please don't change Family Handyman!!


title: Grandkid love it.

text: My grandkids look forward to receiving this and love reading it. So much so, that I renewed it for a second year.


title: Late Nvidia Advertisement of a Magazine

text:
Issues arrive toward the end of their shelf life meaning you get articles about "upcoming" movies, games, and technology that were released months ago.

Pretty much every article is a blatant advertisement for Nvidia products (not a huge surprise there, just pointing it out).

As a QUARTERLY magazine, it's as expensive as many MONTHLY magazines.

There are some interesting articles, but a lot of fluff pieces too.  Not worth the price.


title: Needle in a Haystack

text:
After reading many interesting articles on the Wired website, I figured I'd try the magazine since it is cheap.  I won't be renewing that subscription.

There ARE some genuinely interesting, informative, etc articles in the magazine.  Unfortunately there are only a few such articles and you'll have to wade through myriad ads, fluff, and pretentious rants to find them.

Better off reading only the interesting articles online for free.


title: DO NOT ORDER ANY MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS TROUGH AMAZON!!!!!!!!!!!

text: I will never again order magazines through amazon. I received the first two (I think) and had to email complaints every few months to receive the rest (which even then didn't come). The last time I complained I was supposed to be resent two magazines and only ever got the one and then the magazine that was supposed to come that month never arrived. This is horse-s***!!!! I'm tired of complaining to get the magazines mailed out. The first two arrived all right with the correct address and nothing has changed on my end EXCEPT GETTING THE PRODUCT I PAID FOR!!!!! Buyer be warned! Don't waste your money!

title: Good Magazine

text: I have purchased this magazine in store many times, just hoping to save money and have it shipped to me.  Crazy thing is, I ordered it over a month ago, and I am yet to recieve my first magazine?!?!


title: Love it!

text: Family Handyman is our family's favorite magazine.  I originally ordered it for my husband, then found myself reading it as well.  The tips are great, instructions are clear and well illustrated, and the contributions from other subscribers and always informative and entertaining.  I have since ordered gift subscriptions for 5 other family members who are DIYers. They all read Family Handyman and use the articles.  We save all our copies to refer to later.


title: awaiting purchase to show up on address label

text: The product is great. I've subscribed to Gourmet for 30 years.  I recently renewed my subscription online (probably April 20 or so) and it has not yet reached my Gourmet address label.  So, I will reserve judgment until I see that in fact this is renewed.

For a buck-an-a-half I got the "Early 2010" issue in the Fall of 2010.

It's a collection of poems, pictures and tiny essays presented in a tiny booklet.

Worth a try if you want something unique. Could also make a cool gift.

BTW - it arrives in a normal envelope.


title: Enjoy this magazine and the better buy than news stand prices.

text: The magazine comes every month on time.  I watch HGTV but the magazine makes it possible to keep articles I want to remember.


title: Five Stars

text: Can't get through my week without Time and the New Yorker.


title: Real Simple magazine

text:
I ordered this as gift for a relative.

Not sure if it was delivered - but will find out soon.  Order process through Amazon.com was very smooth, however.


title: Four Stars

text: A must have for enthusiasts.


title: Five Stars

text: Have one issue with me everywhere I roam! Relaxing and keeps one sharp.


title: It's a nice magazine, but is disappointingly and completely unlike the ...

text: It's a nice magazine, but is disappointingly and completely unlike the GRIT newspaper of olden days.  Cover to cover, the GRIT newspaper was full of good news and stories of human interest.  It was a newspaper for all ages.  This magazine is more reminiscent of a combination of Organic Gardening and Family Handyman.


title: The best general knowledge science magazine.

text: Easily understood explanations of complex discoveries and topics, without resorting to jargon or assumptions of knowledge or experience of the reader.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellant magazine with outstanding writers


title: fun interior mag

text: always enjoy this magazine, and a great price on amazon.  I would recommend it to anyone planning to remodel, and to anyone who likes to daydream.


title: Don't fall for this trap.

text: They didn't even give me six months worth of magazines before they auto-renewed for a whole years worth of magazines (which was $25).  I wouldn't be quite as mad about this if they had bothered to tell me they were renewing my subscription. They never sent any emails informing me of my renewal. I discovered it from the charge on my credit. I tried to cancel the subscription of the same day that it was renewed and they told me it was too late to cancel.


title: Auto-renewal without warning

text: The auto-renewal is awful. I signed up for a promotion that was good for six magazines. Two magazines into that deal they've already auto-renewed my subscription for a year at a price that I never agreed to. They never sent me any warning that they were going to renew my subscription, I had to find out when I looked at my credit statement. I cancelled it the very day that I received the charge but that was apparently too late to cancel magazines that I wont receive for several months.


title: It looks great but I just got my first copy.

text: I like the look,and it looks to be jambed with articles, but I have not had time to sit down and read it yet, maybe I can look at it Sunday or monday.


title: Good value for people that like to cook

text: what I expected. Nice recipes. Fairly good articles. Too Many ads but what publication doesn't suffer from that?


title: TV Guide

text: We love it.  We enjoyed reading articles in this book.  See to read the guide to look for our program.


title: The bible of GUITAR!

text: Outstanding magazine!


title: Great Magazine

text: This is a really good magazine for pro's and novices. It is full of really good tips and information for fur trappers.


title: Well written stories.

text: Love this magazine, great stories and reviews


title: my favorite magazine

text: I have read this magazine for years.  I always look forward to it.  Has lots of information and interesting pages.


title: Mostly satisfied

text:
This is my favorite cooking magazine out there.  It has common ingredients, teaches you the science behind making things taste right.  Therefore, I can improve all my other recipes.
  I don't acctally end up makeing a large percent of the recipes.  The ones I do make usually turn out "very good."
  I like how they have main dishes and sides that compliment each other.


title: Hubby loves it!

text: My husband loves this magazine and gets excited every time he gets one thru the mail!  So glad I ordered it!


title: Five Stars

text: It's a wonderful Magazine


title: I thought I'd do without it

text:
I thought, eh, Lucky magazine, i don't really need this anymore... so I broke it off. (I am a college student, so, I'm a little bit poor. Lol.)

I was wrong. I love Lucky. I know fashion and trends are kind of an "air head" market, but I'm going to subscribe again because:

A.) I am a design student, and fashion and trends are chock full of design elements

B.) I subscribe to Newsweek and I watch the news all the time. It is depressing, Lucky is not.

C.)After coming home from a long day of classes and work, it's not so bad to want to read something with lots of pretty pictures, is it? (The answer is no, that is not bad.)

Lucky rocks. Seriously. If you want something that's fun to read and fun to look at it's great. I don't recommend it for people who are in deep credit card debt becasue they just HAD to have the latest designer handbag, becuase this will get you into trouble. FOr everyone else, who just wants to look hip... or just plain sytled. Lucky is a great magazine.


title: National Geographic

text:
NG Mag usually holds my attention with mostly interesting articles.  Some issues dwell too much on a single subject (that may be near and dear to us, like water).
There used to be more short articles (Geographica).
The magazine used to have more varied as well as more in-depth articles and pictures.
Many articles have environmently "slanted" articles, instead of objective articles.


title: So useful and full of great ideas!

text: Love this magazine!


title: Not A Bad Publication

text: The previous reviewer gave this publication an unfair review. I work in a "no kill" shelter and many, many people do not know about sticky tape, covered litter boxes, etc. The articles are written so everyone can read and understand them, and contain a great deal of useful information. Also, not all shelters are "kill" shelters. One just has to make a few phone calls or jump on the web to find them.


I had a subscription for fours year, but I cancelled my subscription when the daily paper changed to weekly.  The daily paper helped me make money as it provided valuable information.  However now the the company only publishes the paper weekly, and the market changes daily, so it's no longer a good source of information for stock market research.


title: Do not supscribe

text: I bought it last november. I received only one copy after i write to staff. I am so angry with their service. Do not recomend their subscribtion.


title: Five Stars

text: Interesting articles and beautiful pictures. Glad I found this magazine!


title: subscription sent to wrong address

text:
Probably my fault but the subscribtion is suppose to be a gift to my son.

The magazine is coming to my address not his.

Please redirect the subscription shipping address to :

Sean Johnson
1321 R St North West Washington  DC 20009

Thank you

title: the cooking magainze worth reading

text: I was given a copy of this magazine because it showed a better way to cook streak. My specialty is streak. BUT this magazine show ME how to cook a better, much better streak. Plus it had wonderful information on how to keep your kitchen running smoothly.


title: it's ok

text: i'm not renewing this subscription. the recipes all seem the same to me now. but, it's still a good magazine. i think i've just become bored with it.


title: Good and bad

text:
I like this magazine and just renewed my subscription. Two things I don't like ...

1. The cover titles are deceiving. Example: They'll say someone is "leaving forever" when they're not leaving the show ... just leaving a relationship. Many articles are not what they seem based on the cover's titles. But, that's OK. The articles are usually pretty good anyway.

2. The news is often old by the time it's printed. That happens because it only comes out every 2 weeks. I also read Soap Opera Digest, which is weekly and more up to the minute.

But, overall I like this magazine because of the feature articles on each show. I like that they are all ABC shows. I don't care about shows on other channels so magazines that feature those are just waste of paper for my tastes.


title: 3 -4 months, really?

text: I love Highlights. my kids loved Highlights. I intended to pass that down to my granddaughter who is a new reader. But 3 to 4 months to get the first magazine is beyond ridiculous!  It's the "you have one job" thing. Not a good first impression and for that reason, not a sale.


title: My middle name is Marie.I enjoy this magazine and what the current fashion and articles

text:
A
 deal on the subscriptions rate through Amazon.comA good buy for entertainment reasons.Just a plain good read too
Browsing this magazine is cool,spending time on fashion and updates on events.Worth the money


title: Five Stars

text: FINE


title: Gift Subscription

text: Actually I purchased this as a gift for a young teen.  He called to thank me and seemed extremely happy with it.


title: Five Stars

text: love it


title: Granddaughter loves it!

text: My four year old granddaughter DEVOURS this magazine every month!  A few things are a little advanced for her, but she loves it anyway.


title: Great

text: Very pleased, less expensive than off the shelf.


title: great magazine

text: The magazine was received as expected. It's a great read for the Civil War buff


title: Handyman Magazine

text: Great magazine for the homeowner....tips on everything and if not in mag...check their website...don't know why i haven't ordered before


title: VERY helpful to all levels of home-brewing, beginner to advanced

text:
This was not for me, but was a gift for my son-in-law, who is an advanced hobbyist brewer. He was thrilled to get a subscription to Zymurgy, and says it's always full of interesting and helpful articles, information, and products. He is a very detail-oriented guy, and very knowledgeable about the science of brewing. This has given him new ideas, and helped him trouble-shoot questions that have come up. I believe there is an online support community that he is a member of also because of his subscription.

I got 'cool mother-in-law' points for this gift!!


title: Worth magazine ever

text: I think this is the worst magazine i have ever received. First 3 pages is nothing but who she is politically supporting , the rest is page after page of advertisements. In the trash it goes


title: Five Stars

text: This magazine gives us tips, helpful hints and ideas.


title: Focuses on the food and not advertisements

text:
Bought a subscription for my wife for the holidays. The magazine is great and unlike a lot of other food magazines - they actually focus on the food and not the advertisements. Great images and good content. Here's my haiku review.

Make my dinner wife /
Fill her with good recipes /
Love this magazine


title: I like how she shows all the recipes that she does

text: I always like Martha Stewart magazine the pictures are beautiful


title: My reads

text: I enjoy the many articles, look forward to reviews of movies,books,and various stars.


title: ... to this magazine for 40+ years and I still like it, however

text: I've subscribed to this magazine for 40+ years and I still like it, however, it seems to be getting smaller and smaller with each edition.


title: Love every word!

text: Love every word!


title: Great buy.

text: I bought this for my granddaughter and she just cannot wait for each Magazine to arrive. It is both informative and has humor.


title: Great choice

text: My granddaughter loves this magazine and insisted that I renew the subscription for Christmas. Great choice


title: Five Stars

text: Best read


title: It is a good magazine for people who like to cook, especially those who like to cook Italian .

text: I like to read the articles and recipes every month. I always watch her show so it goes hand in hand. She demonstrates how to make several of the recipes on her show each month.l


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent news source.


title: Highlights

text: Have two grandchildrens and they wait for their Highlights to come.  Both their mothers also use to love reading and doing all the interesting things in Highlight.


title: Always a great read!

text: Always provides great health reporting along with uplifting, positive stories.  Not a lot of doom and gloom or living up to the Jones’.  Just positive, funny and informing.  A wonderful change of pace.


title: I like it

text: I like all the advise and coupons in this magazine. I am very happy that I was able to get a 1 year subscription for only $10.00.


title: Five Stars

text: My favorite magazine - glad to see I could get it here so cheap!


title: Love Reader's Digest

text: Love Reader's Digest - have subscribed for many, many years - appreciate the price break over the direct to publisher price.


title: Great

text: My son is nuts about checking out the latest news on cars.  He was ready to go to the reading room as soon as he saw what it was.


title: Three Stars

text: received print copy but can't retrieve on kindle


title: Five Stars

text: Love Food Network, and now the magazine!!


title: Great, intelligent writing

text: I have subscribed for several years. I love the fine writing, political features, bios, fiction. I have some interest in the fashion, but not much. It speaks to men, but is smart enough to interest women as well. I have a stack of them on my shelf, because I want to read every article. Although my time is limited, it's the one magazine I cannot do without.


title: Five Stars

text: Just as good as they were when I was little. A++


title: always a number one magazine

text: there is only one National Geographic.  its been a number one for the quality of photographs and article of interest for a century. Well worth taking time to read this magazine.


title: Warmed Over Socialism....

text: The ageing 60's left sounds a little strident...and pathetic.  While the best-seller lists are dominated by conservative mainstream publications - such as "Bias", revealing what we always knew - the worn-out left is still [pandering] to Marxism, enviro-nazism, and any form of anti-heterosexualism that the current fad embraces.  If you like to laugh at the same old "blame {big-business, Christian, free-market, heterosexual, working-for-a-living, intelligent choice, monogamous, wise-use} individuals who are responsible for all of us loser's problems" - type articles, this is the magazine for you!  I'll stick with the land of opportunity, hard work, and wise choices to get me through!


title: Beware BHG aggressive collections!

text:
My wife got one of those calls soliciting magazines that mentioned BHG.  Since we were moving in the near future she refused.  A short time later Better Homes and Gardens started coming to the house.  We didn't order the magazine and couldn't figure how to cancel.  Subsequently we moved but we got a bill from BHG stating we will be TAKEN TO COLLECTIONS over this bogus subscription.  I just did some internet searches and found that BHG has been using this tactic for many years.  I found an article on poynter.org from 2011 that reports that "Better Homes and Gardens promises to end threatening renewal letters".  Three years later they are still doing it.  We figure an overzealous sales person signed her up so they can get their commission.
I went to their web site to try to contact them and you can't unless you have your magazine info - but guess what?  They put the magazines in an clear wrapper so you usually toss that info when you open the magazine.
If you get anything from BHG that you didn't order do make sure to put a stop to it as soon as you can.  I'm surprised that they continue to do this seven years after they said they wouldn't.


title: Excellent magazine for any Mac lover

text: Great articles and lots of great tips for any Mac user new or experienced. Excellent resource. The Mac Life app is awesome as well.


Great magazine for anyone who enjoys cooking. Recipes with less calories. Great source for cooking favorites with less fat and fewer calories


title: Service is terrible

text: I have subscribed to CI over the years. Their recipes tend to become repetitive. I resubscribed this year after a hiatus of several years, and rediscovered why I cancelled.  Or more appropriately, tried to cancel.  Good luck subscribing without getting signed up for auto renewal. Their customer service is so abysmal that I can only believe that it is by policy.  Calling their 800 number has never yet actually connected me to anyone - I always get a message that I should go to the website, and then a hangup.  There is such an arrogant attitude - and it is reflected everywhere.  I will not be renewing. And if they won't take my phone call to actually let me cancel, they can just keep sending me bills that I will ignore.


title: Great stories

text: Very informative about schedules and behind the scenes stuff


title: Best motorcycle magazine around

text:
For the type of riding the majority of people do, Rider magazine can't be beat.  From Sport touring to scooters, the coverage is excellent.  In-depth equipment reviews, ride reports, maintenance how-to's, and motorcycle reviews round out it's offerings.

Highly recommended for the beginner and the experienced.


title: Horrible IBD Performance. ..not worth free

text: A great way to lose money.  They just buy momentum stocks which you don't need to pay for a subscription.  Just go through the list of stocks making new highs if you want to take on high risk. You'll fo just as well.


title: There are no realistic recipes for people to make. ...

text: There are no realistic recipes for people to make. I would spend so much money on trying to eat healthy by cooking their meals it wasn't worth it. I'll just stick to eating lighter rather than exotic stuff.


title: Ads for days. Articles to make you feel meh.

text: About 60% of it was ads. And the parts that weren't ads weren't as interesting of articles as you would think.


title: Love it!

text: Like magazine allows me to remember home and plan my trips out to Washington around what's going on!

title: W Magazine

text: My wife and two daughters (one a sophomore in college and the other a junior in college) love this magazine.  I love it because it is so huge in size!  My daughters even used some issue for a collage project.


title: Keeping up on the latest info

text: In the age of digital, sometimes it feels good just turning pages the old school way. Inspires, instructs and influences readers for anything practical about the latest tech, home, outdoors, science, DIY topics etc..


title: Staying in the know

text: If you want to stay and up to date about everything audio and video technology, then this is the right magazine for you. They give great detail reviews on up-coming tv's to audio equipment to movie release reviews. I loved reading this magazine from front cover to back, then keeping it in my collection for future reference.


title: A must read.

text: When you want to stay informed on the latest PC components or tips of the month, this is a must read magazine. Consider it your bible for PC nerds.


I love the insightful knowledge of articles, whether it was the latest in new tech or fashion, this magazine has a lot of tidbit of information.


title: A Bit Off

text: This magazine is usually amongst my favorties, however the first issue I received seems to be very bland and generic. Hopefully the next will be better.


I don’t think I ordered this?


title: Five Stars

text: My nieces love these magazines.


title: Received only the front Page!!

text: I have been enjoying the magazine for months now. They need to package their magazines better. Now I wasted my money because the rest of the magazine tore off. When it arrive to me it was in pieces.


title: a cooks picture book 👍

text: i love this magazine, with pictures and recipes i feel brave to cook anywhere , no more guess work , you should try it .


title: Watch out for auto renew, magazine not worth the much higher price at renewal

text: Ok for a cheap price,  to worth the 200% markup on renewal


title: One Star

text: Didn't look close enough to see it was for gay men.


title: Five Stars

text: yummy food receipes


title: Five Stars

text: Nice ideas


title: Lacks diversity

text: This magazine has more advertisement than content. The content that is presented only represents one group of people and that is European Americans. I would love to see more diversity but it was free so I’m not out any money which is the upside.


title: This was a gift....

text: This was a gift for a friend. They say they love it and will use the information to update thier yard and garden!


title: Good reading

text: This was part of a Christmas gift for my beekeeper hubby.  He has subscribed before and had forgotten how much he missed this jewel.  He loves it.


title: Great!

text: Got the subscription as part of a Christmas gift for my Beekeeper hubby.  He loves is and I am fascinated by the little critters now.


title: Not what it used to be

text: I used to get TOH magazine back in the early 2000’s. It was great and I loved it so my wife bought me a subscription for Christmas. It’s just not what it used to be. It’s about half the size it used to be and not incredibly helpful. It used to be amazing but now it’s just mediocre. Maybe one section in each magazine is helpful - maybe. Family Handyman is much better.


title: Tons of Recipes inside!

text: This magazine is packed with interesting articles and good recipes. I made a Gingerbread Bundt cake with a recipe out of the holiday issue. I will be renewing!


title: My favorite magazine!

text: I bought this magazine for my husband and wee both love it! The projects are great, they break it down in a simple easy to understand way.


title: Shouldn't even be allowed to carry the Shape Magazine title.  Not at all what it once was.

text: SO Disappointed!  SHAPE was my favorite magazine years ago.  Didn't subscribe for 4 or 5 years because couldn't afford magazines.  Was excited to get back to it, but now that I'm a few issues in, just throw it in the trash when it comes.  This is a shadow of what it once was.  Hardly any fitness and health info now.  It's just another beauty magazine filled with ads for high-priced clothing and cosmetics.  Miss the original badly.  Don't waste your money on this one.


title: great

text: great


title: Great Ideas Martha has

text: I have always enjoyed MarthaStewart Magazine.  Lots of good ideas, food, crafts, garden.


title: Great Magazine

text: Just received my first issue and have made two recipes. Great, simple recipes and inspiring articles. Have already recommended this magazine.


title: Not very pleased with subscription

text: The subscription filled its duty.  It arrived when it stated, and we received every issue.  However, it was not what my husband expected.  It had very few articles that he enjoyed.  He expected more out of the magazine and was very disappointed.


title: great !

text: Great magazine..daughter loves it


title: Misleading name

text: The content is definitely international. And it covers more than geographic topics. Delves into more cultural aspects. Really should consider renaming it international culture publication, ICP for short.


title: Terrible content. I got this to help me with ...

text: Terrible content. I got this to help me with reading material and ideas for my wood workshop and it has next to ZERO wood working related articles.


title: Great for kids.

text: Gave my Granddaughter a subscription.


title: Even food is Woke now

text: The recipes tend to be good but I just don’t need food ideas to come marinated in social justice. Let’s skip the environmental warrior stuff and please just stick to food.


title: Good Magazine but Want More Content

text: Of course Oprah is the Queen.  However, I wish the magazine had more content and less stories written for readers.  I get the fact that it is a community, but I find myself feeling starved for more interesting content.  But still love the magazine for the empowerment of women!


title: What is there not to love?!

text: Science nerds, Unite!


title: NO LONGER a good magazine!

text: I have been a subscriber for MANY years, but since the 'new' version of the magazine came out in Fall 2003, everything went bad. Even the graphic design of the magazine has gotten so much worse! I am extremely dissappointed, but it's now 5 months and the magazine has not gotten any better. For the first time in years, I will NOT be renewing. I agree that the magazine is now total 'fluff'...I mean, who wants to read about fashion in a 'Natural Health' magazine?! I look elsewhere for that. Everything now is an advertisement for natural products whereas previously they told you how to make your own remedies. Don't waste your time, money, or trees on this magazine.


title: Great read

text: This subscription was worth every dollar


title: Makes you care about the world.

text: There are countless magazines that bring you quick interesting tidbits about the world, science etc. But National Geographic is one of the few magazine that carefully adds a layer of emotion. In the span of 4 pages you might see yourself saying, "Wow" then tearing up with empathy, and then feeling anger then laughing and finally feeling hope. The magazine doesn't just want you to see the world, they want you to feel what the writers felt, and they are still objective where important, and you are left every issue wanting to see the things they see and get involved in the things they write about. If that's not what a good magazine does I don't know what more it can do.


title: The New Yorker of Science Magazines

text: Giving this magazine such a lofty epithet may seem a bit presumptuous, but for a non scientifically trained outsider this magazine offers a fresh and challenging look at the fast paced world of science that doesn't shy away from humor and the use of terms and ideas that may require its readers to go online and define a term. And in some cases it may inspire the reader to pick up a book on science by such greats as Hawking and Greene in order to better grasp some of the concepts dealing with time, space and atoms. This magazine isn't dumbed down. It includes well placed and efficient illustrations to help explain some of the more abstract points. It is not designed in the way popular magazinea are, in so much as they only touch upon a topic in the simplest manner and then move on before the audience is lost. Yet this magazine keeps the attention of the reader by combining explanatory notes that help people with no background knowledge have some grasp of the topic and by using humor and well written articles to clearly make their points.<br />  For a magazine with a serious and well researched list of topics having small cartoons the likes of the New Yorker shows how comfortable this magazine is with itself. From the moment I picked up this magazine for the first time I felt like every word I read mattered and was worth my time to read. (Not true of many other magazines) American Scientist may not have the audience of Discover or National Geographic, nor is it as accessible as said titles, but for those with a true interest in science willing to challenge themselves and commit to real learning this magazine may be a perfect fit. At $4.95 it is certainly worth it to pick a copy on the news stand and try it out.


title: Full of ads, not enough content

text: I love the country sampler magazine so I wanted to try this one.  I went though it in about 10 minutes, it’s so full of ads and not much content.  I won’t be ordering this one again.


title: Worth the money.

text: My Dad used to get this magazine and I always read it as a child. I still find it interesting and I am not really a builder. But I like to know how stuff works.


title: Not so great after merging with Cooking Light.

text: This used to be one of my favorite magazines. I always learned so much and came away with ideas I could explore and use without having to follow a recipe. Unfortunately it merged with Cooking Light. Now it is an overwhelming assortment of recipes that usually have ingredients I don’t have on hand. (I really don’t need this with all the recipe apps that exist.)  The change in advertising is for the worse too. So sad to see this magazine decline so quickly.


title: Five Stars

text: great mag about a great city!


title: One of the best cook books

text: I love looking at and trying the recipe.


title: Ugly

text: The quality of this magazine has declined. Everything from the quality of the paper to the contents is just ugly.


title: Great Mag

text: One of the best out there, lots of material.


title: A good read

text: Pick it up on prime day for 99 cents, worth every penny...


title: Wouldn't get again

text: Not much new information - a lot of ads, veggie type recipes.


title: My 3 year old grandson loves this magazine. I ...

text: My 3 year old grandson loves this magazine. I checked with my daughter-in-law, who is a native Spanish speaker, and she says it is well written by Spanish speaking writers.


title: Packed Full of Usefull Info

text: I read several baby magazines and this by far was my favorite.  Especially for the first time mothers.  There's lots of questions during baby's first year of life and this magazine specifically addresses that age! It's a great gift to give to first time parents as well.


title: Love to read

text: I like reading very about iPads and iPhones stuff


title: Have Not Received One Issue

text: I am disappointed that I subscribed to my favorite magazine, Vanity Fair, in May and have yet to receive a single issue, and here it is the end of June. I look forward to reading about Liz Taylor, but I fear that the contents will be quite stale when the subscription finally starts.


title: Five Stars

text: Always a good publication.


title: Three Stars

text: was not as interesting as I anticipated.


title: This was better and nicer than expected

text: This was better and nicer than expected.  One small problem was that there was a stain on one of the pillow cases.  I could cover this with a toss pillow so no big problem.  I did not report this problem to the supplier.


title: Five Stars

text: great mag


title: Five Stars

text: Great mag


title: Breath of fresh air

text: Always look forward to a copy of Dwell magazine. The stripped down aesthetic is a refreshing antidote to the world as-it-is at large. I am usually reminded that living in this world need not be the complicated and messy experience that the lack of thoughtful design usually produces. And this inspires me to live with courage and conviction in that part of the world within my control.


title: Slow service

text: Only got 1 issue.  I think another issue is out...but I don’t have it


title: Positive impact

text: Good clean positive articles. Cannot find too many of them these days.


title: Five Stars

text: can never say enough about Cook's


title: Disappointed.

text: More than half the magazine is adds.  Not impressed.  Articles are interesting, but suggestions seem a bit extreme for the average homeowner. Disappointed.
