title: I never got the subscription

text: I never received this subscription that I ordered and paid for so it is hard to give it a positive review. I hope someday it shows up.


title: One Star

text: I WOULD NEVER ORDER THIS AGAIN. TOO MANY ADVERTISEMENTS. ABOUT 90% ADVERTISEMENTS, AND 10% SO SO RECIPES.


title: Four Stars

text: VERY GOOD RECIPES, AND EASY TO FOLLOW


title: Granddaughter one loves and now ordering for granddaughter two

text: My granddaughter loves this magazine and that it comes in the mail just for her. She runs to the mailbox shouting "Chirpy, Chirpy!" when my son tells her she has mail. The adults like it too! Now ordering a subscription for a 3 year old in another household.


title: I wasn't paying attention regarding auto renew and when I ...

text: I wasn't paying attention regarding auto renew and when I called to cancel, they promised to credit my account and never did.  I no longer hold that card.  If I want another Stone, I pick it up at newstand


title: Extreme extreme extreme

text:
This magazine is the far far right and very conservative. For example, one recent article set out to talk about Christian colleges and point out that some are not truly Christian. The reason some are not...their presidents did not state that the world was created in 6 literal days, or the great flood may have not covered the entire earth. Or we should be careful reading from famous Christian authors because they didn't rule out that maybe, just maybe, the world wasn't created in 6, 24 hour days, or maybe the earth is older than a few thousand years.

Articles are not based on science with sound reasoning, either. For example, one article discussed instincts and sea turtles and how they instinctively know how to march to the sea when they hatch. The article stated that this was something given by God and it could not be evolutionary because all the sea turtles that did not march to the ocean would die. Huh? That is perfect for evolution; only those turtles that do march to the ocean have a chance of survival and those that don't die after a few days of life never having the chance to pass on their genes. This would speed up evolution, not make in impossible. At least make sure your rationale is sound. Instead the article presents this instinct as a blissful miracle. Maybe it is, but not for the reasons stated.

I'm a Christian scientist...this magazine is not sound and makes everything seem like a God-made miracle. God made the world and can do what he wants, but this magazine is not realistic and not always based on sound science.


title: 6 year old grandson loves getting the magazine in the mail

text: My 6 year old grandson enjoys the magazine.


title: Good magazine, Amazon prices it twice as high as the mag's site

text: Just wanted to note that Amazon charges twice as much as the magazine itself charges.


title: For real decorating for real budgets!

text: This is the most practical magazine for people without gazillion dollar budgets for decorating a house.  Practical guides, clear instructions, complete information on products and colors used in the display.  I really enjoy this magazine and was glad to find it on Amazon.


title: ADAM KOENIGSBERG OPHTHALMOLOGY REVIEW

text: This journal, Ophthalmology Management, is concise and excellent for those of us in private practice who need to be involved in both the business management as well as scientific and clinical aspects of medicine. I cannot remember the last time I did not read an issue from cover to cover. ADAM KOENIGSBERG MD


I sent a subscription to readers digest to my friend as a gift. She loves it!


title: Too Small

text: Magazine is so small, people mistake it for junk mail and throw it out:(


title: A let down

text: I had got this as a gift for my boyfriend, I thought that it was supposed to be a great insightful magazine. It was mostly adds, and it took away from the articles that they did have. I was shocked at the amount of adds, including since I paid almost $20.00 dollars for only four magazines. He didn't want to renew this, and picked a different magazine it get for this year.


title: If you want the CD's DO NOT ORDER IT HERE!!!!!! You can get what there selling here online for FREE at Maximumpc.com

text: Please understand that I have been a subscriber to Maximum PC Magazine for YEARS. I think it is probably one of the most entertaining Tech Magazines available, and the Disks that come with this little gem are absolutely packed full of the best freeware/shareware available anywhere! So imagine my excitement when I saw this offer. 12 issues of Maximum PC with what I assumed had to be the CDs because of the cover price listed and the savings. That was incredible. NO it wasn't. I ordered this and found out that this is the PRINT ONLY edition. NO CD's. Upon calling Maximum PC they said it would be another [...] per month for the CDs but the biggest kick in the rear end, is that I could only get 10 of the CDs now, because I had the first issue and the second issue was too close to shipping. IF I JUST WANTED THE MAGAZINE I COULD HAVE JUST DOWNLOADED THE FREE PDF'S THAT MAXIMUM PC MAKES AVAILABLE ON THERE WEBSITE. I WANTED BOTH. BTW AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION OUTRIGHT. DO NOT DO IT. YOU ARE BETTER OFF JUST ORDERING IT DIRECT FROM MAXIMUM PC.


title: Bird guideline

text: Wonderful! Very helpful


title: Great magazine.

text: Same as many previous years. Very informative magazine.


title: Waste of money

text: Not what it's made out to be. Lots of advertising and mostly pictures and stories of families. Don't waste your money on this magazine.


title: Consumer reports

text: Best magazine of its kind.  Have subscribed for years


title: Unfilled Order

text: I have no comment on the quality of the magazine itself, but I have yet to see my first issue, despite the fact that I ordered it a long time ago.


title: Love this magazine!

text: The best craft/art magazine around. Love it. Suitable for all creative levels.<br />A must share with friends and family. Love it.


title: Regurgitation of old material - waste of money

text: Don’t bother getting for more than one year. They regurgitate old material so you pay twice but get the same thing as the previous year. What kind of magazine does that? I want my money back.  This is a horrible deal


title: kid loves them

text: my kid loves these magazines!!!!


title: Nice monthly magazine

text:
I have been getting this magazine for about a year now and have found it enjoyable and useful.  It is full of creative, easily-reproducible techniques and layouts.  I find myself looking back at it over an over again in between issues.  I also like that it includes ideas for scrapbooking as well as mini-albums, cards and other craft projects.

As for the price, I must say that I got a pretty good deal by ordering from an in-magazine card (2 years for $19.95), and I would consider that a bargain.  Regular issues are almost $6, so even 1 year at 19.95 is still worth it!


title: Could have been great

text: Not happy with price and tried to cancel order twice and I don’t want it period


title: AWESOME

text: Great magazine. I enjoy it


title: So many good recipes we have tried

text: I purchased this Magazine for my Mom for Christmas and she loves it.  So many good recipes we have tried.  This is a keeper.


title: Great read

text: Great magazine, always look forward to the next issue.


title: gift item

text: Purchased as a gift.  It was much appreciated.


title: Every issue of American Bungalow is a keeper.

text: I have hoarded and reread all the magazines since starting my subscription in 2001. I love the clean, uncluttered lines of craftsmen era furniture, art, and even humble household items.


title: Dependable assistance.

text: Love the magazine.  Have used its studies for many years when making a major decision.


title: Good info, but missing a few requirements

text:
Have always enjoyed this guide, however it's disappointing that there are no daytime references.

The reviews are good, but still, daytime reviews could be more than one page in the back.


title: Made for the average woman

text: I like this magazine because it isn't filled with celebrity gossip.  It isn't filled with fashion that is over priced.  While it features some more expensive items, many are from department stores and Walmart.  I love the recipes and tips.  I don't feel guilty about spending money on a magazine because I always find at least 2 or 3 coupons that pay for the magazine!


title: Great magazine

text: I've been subscribing to Sage Woman for years now and found it interesting. I've made a few friends and loved the articles and even the ads.  this is more for the mid 20's and up age range. they DO have a magazine for younger Witchs. it also give very helpful step by step instructions for some rituals.


title: Best archeology magazine

text: Like everythibg


arrived promptly. great magazine for multiple family members.


I used to love this magazine in its older incarnation. this newest form has very little substance. Very much not worth the price imo.


title: Five Stars

text: excellent pictorials and articles


title: Great magazine!

text: Great magazine loaded with helpful tips!


title: NOT the same magazine it was. Great birdcage flooring material.

text: What in the world has happened to the Smithsonian magazine? Future issues we receive will be promptly thrown in the garbage. Once again, history has been taken over by leftists.


title: It’s great if you’re gay or a woman.

text: Women on the cover, at least three women are featured in this month’s issue. Then of course it’s a catalog of overpriced junk


title: Insufferable, self-righteous, and biased

text: I had a free subscription. Rolling Stone had become so insufferable, self-righteous, and biased that I couldn't read it anymore.  I canceled this free subscription.


title: Great magazine at a great price

text: Great magazine at a great price !


title: Five Stars

text: Great! Good information for beginners.


title: Meh... Not the magazine of old

text:
I used to get this magazine back in the 80's.  Back then, it had more woodworking plans and better home repair ideas.  Now, it seems to have a lot of ads to fill up the pages.

WIsh they'd re-publish the cedar strip canoe plans...


title: It's Ok, depending on your achitectual knowledge and what you are reading it for.

text: Bought this as a gift for the adult architecture student in my life. At first, they liked the novelty of the magazine but realized that it was more about celebrities showing off their home renovations and interior design prowess than anything really architecturally based. When it was time to renew they said don't bother, that it was nice to look at once in a while but that it wasn't worth the price increase they were going to charge for the next 6 months. When asked, their architecture instructors weren't too excited about the magazine either in terms of representation vs. actual content.


title: TV GUIDE everything you want to know about your favorite tv shows

text: tv guide is a present for someone.  like the larger size.  it rates all tv shows for the week  from 1 to 25.


title: Do you want to see what the big boys are learning and discovering?

text: This is another excellent professional publication on a higher astronomical plane. THIS ONE will inspire you to visit the cosmic reign of an infinite universe, that harbors fantastic and awesome photography that humanity can never visit in person. Let your mind open up and enjoy the heavens. Perhaps you will learn to appreciate this world we live in and become better stewards of what we have.


title: WHAT MAKES YOU an astronomy fan

text: The tutorials, articles, maps, and diagrams, awesome astronomy photos all contribute to an excellent publication.<br />  I have been a subscriber for decades and I'm not about to give it up now.


title: Great magazine

text: Bought as a gift for my mom. She has been a GH fan for a few decades now, and absolutely loved the gift subscription!


title: Five Stars

text: Delivered as promised.


title: Great magazine

text: Piecework is my guilty pleasure.  I seldom have time to do handwork, but reading about it is the next best thing! The historical perspectives are really interesting.


title: Stay on top of your subscriptions!

text: I originally had ordered this magazine for my architect son for Christmas gift, but he hadn't received any of the subscription as of February or March! So I had to call in to check on what was happening! Ended up cancelling order and re-subscribing it to restart as soon as possible! Son ended up getting 3 months worth of magazines in August! So wished son a Merry Half Christmas instead!


title: If you love food and you love wine

text: Substance-lite glossy rag for upper west side elitists (or poseurs).  If you love food and you love wine, you won't find anything of substance in Food & Wine magazine.  However, if all you love are nice pictures of food and wine, this may be just right for your coffee table.


title: No longer a business magazine

text: Having subscribed for well over a decade, I can speak to the fundamental changes that have been made since Bloomberg acquired it.  First, to it's credit (I guess) it's revamped the look and feel to address the short attention span of the Twitter and texting generation.  Smart business move, as that's what it must take in the world of print media to thrive.  Personally, I find all the graphics and margin art to be annoyingly juvenile.  Second, it has expanded the scope and tone of coverage to become little more than a media outlet for the DNC.  It's added commentary on politics and policy, and has a section called the Bloomberg View that consistently articulates policy arguments from one side of the debate only.  It really should change its name to more honestly reflect its new propagandist mission.


title: ATX. Keep it weird.

text: Love knowing more about the people and places of my favorite city.

title: A "taste of enjoyment" delivered to your door!

title: Magazine gift

text: This was purchased as a gift for my grandchildren and I imagine they are having a lot of fun with it. The initial report is that it looked great.


title: Five Stars

text: for the hubby


title: A must read!

text: It’s a GREAT magazine! Loved the price!


title: Five Stars

text: Nice magazine, small interesting articles, great pics


title: Beekeeping Made Simple!

text: A "must have" magazine for every beekeeper! Give a month to month plan throughout the year to keep your bees happy and healthy. Fabulous pictures and articles for those new to the hobby and pioneers to large scale producers. Outstanding self-help for common problems and remedies! This is my SECOND subscription to "one" household, because as soon as it arrives, my family members read it before I get a chance! Believe me, it's WORTH it! No more fighting...


title: Doo Whopp!

text: This is one of the best magazines I've ever purchased. Keeps my hubby busy for days on end and he doesn't just read it once. He keeps them and likes to go back for re-reads! Great find for my Mustang Daddy 500!


title: Fabulous and Informative!

text: An absolute MUST HAVE for anyone raising bees or simply wanting insure their suvival to so we don't run out of food!


title: None more black!

text:
This is the blackest magazine out there.  The musicians all wear black.  The tattos are black.  The ads are black.  And just for visual aesthetic, the blackness of the layout is offset by a bit of black on the opposing page.

If you are a teenage metal fan, this magazine is for you!  But if your musical tastes veer outside of metal, you won't find much of interest here.  Yeah, now and then you see the obligatory nod to SRV or Jimi, who we are told we should worship as gods.  There are lotsa articles on old metal guitarists you wish would just go away, like Yngwie.  But you will never ever see an article on Chet Atkins or Wes Montgomery.  Maybe if they had more tattoos. . .


title: Pop Science--now with more advertising!!!

text:
This magazine is ad-heavy.  In the issue I received, 50 out of 108 pages were ads.

The paper is really flimsy.  None of the other magazines I subscribe to have paper this thin.

Worst of fall, the "science" is very soft.  I realize the name of the magazine is "Popular Science," but they might as well call it "Pop Science."  It's about as heady as an in-flight magazine.  Future issues will go straight into the recycling bin.


title: Five Stars

text: i love this magazine but i'm cheap.  found it for a great deal for a one year subscription

user_id: AGOIPAONQGVLAMHSNNOHYROKFMVA


title: lousy math

text: Ordered 10/10/2014. Received 1st issue 1/10. On the cover expiration says 10/15/2015. How would I receive 12 issues in 10 months only Life extension knows. Will call and complain.


title: Not the "old" Reader's Digest

text: I was dissapointed when I received my first issue. I was expecting the Reader's Digest I used to get years ago. Now it has less pages and really inferior paper. The pages used to shiny and slick with bright graphics. Now they are dull and feel like newspaper. Most of the content was of no interest to me.


title: The primary business publication I like to read

text: I've been reading Business Week for over 20 years.  It's the best business publication for me as it's timely (weekly) and easy to digest.  I don't have time for the wall street journal on a daily basis, so I've always preferred the weekly format of Business Week.


title: best magizine ever

text: This is the best magazine ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gives lots of detail and has awsome articals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


title: Poor, incomplete research

text:
I totally regret having this subscription for a year. It was worthless.
I looked for reviews of blenders and juicers. They were incomplete and not well researched. I could not tell one product from another really -and many popular brands not reviewed. That did not help. The writing was too brief and not through.
I should have taken the time to call them and canceled right away.
Then at the end of the subscription, trying to get back into my account was like trying to open a CIA vault. Extra codes and procedures to discourage me. Fortunately I did it.
Use Amazon. Much better information, more accurate, better range of options, and best of all - it is free.


title: Asked for a refund.

text:
Cooking for the 1980's and 1990's, not 2010's.
A lot of emphasis on food with a lot of calories and fat.
The last issue contained two pages on how to make biscuits from Paula Dean who should know better (she has diabetes). It was a traditional recipe with lard !!, and white flour !!  At least she could have adapted it.
The magazine has lots of pages with sugary desserts, but little healty eating.
I can't believe this magazine, with all these famous cooks, doesn't get healty eating.
I got two issues. I was alarmed at the first and when I got the second it was worse, I called and asked for the rest of my money back.
They did not even bother to ask why. What does that tell you?


title: My favorite monthly fashion magazine!

text: I love STYLE WATCH and have been buying it regularly since it was only a semi-annual release.  There's something for everyone within the pages every month.  I especially love how recent additions have been thicker with hundreds of pages of contents, giving other fashion mags like ELLE, VOGUE, and HARPER'S BAZAAR a run for their money!  Every month, you'll find regular features such as "I LOVE MY. . ." which features celebrities who wear the same items several times; WHO GOT IT RIGHT, where similar outfits/trends on worn by two diff celebs, one who got it right, the other who missed the mark; EVERYTHING UNDER $100; BARGAIN SHOPPING THIS MONTH; WHAT'S IN/WHAT'S OUT; plus hundreds of other features.  If you're a bargain shopper, you'll love the section where they discuss designers who produce lower priced alternatives to their higher priced lines (such as the lines for Target, H&M, Macy's and other retailers).  You'll find features about current trends and how to revive your look using pieces of clothing you've had in your closet for years.  They get it right month after month, and it's the only magazine I regularly save and go back to (I recycle most of my other monthly mags by bringing them to work and adding them to our lunch room library  If you only want to buy one beauty & fashion related magazine each month, I highly recommend making PEOPLE'S STYLE WATCH your choice

title: I wouldn't be without this one!

text: Fantastic magazine that I have subscribed to for decades.  Even if you don’t visit British Columbia, or haven’t in a long time, the stories and photos are sometimes jaw-dropping.  Just knowing that this place exists will lift your soul.  And in a time when everything else looks bleak, I look forward to receiving my copy in the mailbox.  It’s the only magazine that I still receive a hard copy, and I don’t think that an online version would be the same.

title: I Prefer Just Paying Once

text: I enjoy the magazine good enough, I do. What I DON'T appreciate is that even if you have bought a subscription they make you pay if you want to access it via a mobile app. Seriously?! Why on earth should I have to pay for it a second time?! I guess that's one lesson learned on starting a business, nickel and dime your current customers til they leave. Well done.


title: Interesting topics

text: Would like more info regarding less expensive drones.


title: Don't even bother

text: Like the 30 other reviewers who have rated these jerks one star, I also took advantage of their Black Friday subscription and I'm still empty handed nearly 3 months later. I don't want to deter anyone from taking advantage of great magazine deals through Amazon--- I was very pleased with my subscriptions to Marie Claire, Glamour, Oprah, and Entertainment Weekly. They were all delivered promptly. I work at a retailer that sells magazines and there have been two People StyleWatches issued since Black Friday. And still.... nothing. At this point, assuming I ever get my subscription, it wouldn't even be a year. All I know is that not only is People dropping the ball, but so is Amazon. They obviously have a lot of unhappy customers on their hands. I was pleased with my other subscriptions, but I will no longer go through Amazon for this stuff because of their inability to handle poor customer service from their vendors.

text: I subscribe to multiple magazines, many of them in the fitness and health areas, but Women's Health is the one I will continue to renew. I love the facts scattered throughout the pages and find myself quoting them to friends.


title: Love this so much I won't share

text: I subscribe to multiple magazines, but HGTV Magazine is by far my favorite. I hoard it and do not recycle to friends as I do with other magazines. The ideas are reasonable for those of us less skilled than professionals and the color combos are inspirational.


title: Good

text: Good


title: Worth it!

text: I like it.  Perfect topics.


title: My house is decorated like this magazine

text: Two years ago we bought this outdated, worn out but totally charming house. My friend suggested that I subscribe to some magazines and get some ideas for redecorating. Has beautiful has some amazing designers and the photography is great. I highly suggest doing the same thing when you are looking for ideas for a new room. Their designs cover all different styles from modern to shabby chic to cottage to eclectic.

text: THIS ORDER WAS CANCELLED AND DID NOT RENEW AND I HAVE THE CANCELLATION NOTICE. I DID ENJOY IT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO RENEW<br />  THANKS


title: Long time subscriber

text: I subscribed to Real Simple from the first issue for several years.  At first it had some great unique ideas, and some really cool decorating ideas.  Then, shortly after the second year, they seemed to run out of ideas.  Unfortunately, they kept publishing anyway.  The ideas rerun so often, if I flip through one now I find the SAME recipes (ravioli lasagna) and SAME tips they had the first year.  Huge disappointment.  If you are interested, don't commit for more than a year!


title: Great!

text: Just received the first issue of Food Network magazine. I ordered at a great price($10.00/year) at Amazon as a Xmas present for my mother and it arrived BEFORE the estimated delivery time. The magazine is chock full of what look to be great recipes. I was really surprised at just how many are printed. There are plenty of "how to" articles, suggestions and even wine pairings. Very well laid out and informative. Very happy with it so far!


title: Daughter-in-law requested

text: Gift


title: Great resourse

text: this is a fine magazine for all coin collectors.Excellent and informative articles. Plenty of seller and buyer info and price guide too.


title: Good guitar information and news

title: more traditional then most

text: hate decorating magazines that are mostly empty spaces with a plant and a chair.........and they call it a finished room


title: Good magazine

text: Like the pics and articles overall a good magazine for basketball fans


title: Five Stars

text: Very fun and comes on time!


title: Not what it used to be

text: This used to be my favorite magazine. I have been a subscriber for years. Unfortunately since Bloomberg bought it has gone straight down hill. It is becoming more and more of a political magazine and less and less dealing with business. The political comment is strictly liberal.When my subscription expires I will not be renewing. The bottom line is if you like liberal politics then this is the magazine for you. If you want business coverage you will need to look elsewhere.


title: Obsessed with Trump

text: I have subscribed to the magazine for over 10 years. The quality of writing and in depth reporting was the reason for the subscription. However,  since Trump was elected, the magazine has gone off the rails in their rantings and vitriol, aka TDS.  They are obsessed with their hatred of him and issue after issue is more of the same ("American's Revulsion for Trump,"  "Will Trump Destroy the Presidency" and "How to Destroy a Government").  As a rule, I have read every article but it finally got to me and I decided to cancel the subscription.  There is not a thing the current administration can do right in their eyes nor does it seem there is a single thing the Obama administration could have ever done wrong.  They obviously do not care about presenting objective, political articles and thereby appeal to ALL Americans, both left and right. Their animus and partisan reporting has become boring.


title: Seven months: no delivery of the product

text: Ordered a subscription in December. In April I started asking where my first edition was. Continual promises of delivery but none yet. I'd rather find a more reliable publication. If their attention to editorial content is similar to their business practices I don't think I want this magazine, anyway.


title: Never received a single copy & was charged in full!!!!

text: On top of that penthouse tells me to contact amazon, amazon says to contact penthouse! I can't even file a claim to get reimbursed!!!!


title: DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE

text: We've received  1 magazine after I purchased  an entire yearly subscription.  AND I can't figure out how to cancel it either. This is a disappointment  because I loved Ranger Rick as a kid and the grandkids enjoyed the 1 magazine they did get.


title: Magazine will come for a couple months then stop. Don’t bother

text: Magazines stopped coming even though they keep apologizing and extending I haven’t received any issues since summer.


title: Great coverage of UK royalty not fully available in US publications

text: Good combination of text and photos + an entertaining experience!


title: Pitiful

text:
Wish I had not mailed my check.  Most boring magazine I
Have ever seen. Anorexic models with pouty faces, none of
Them happy with life, I guess. Please
Refund my money.


title: High Quality

text: I really appreciate what TIME offers, and the quality of their articles.


title: Amazing info...easy reading

text: Amazing info!!  Learned so much!  Such a great thing to receive monthly.


title: I have been receiving this magazine for three months and ...

text: I have been receiving this magazine for three months and have found it to be both educational and entertaining.<br />It has been worth the money.


title: Can’t put it down

text: I can’t put it down once I start.  It’s that good.  But- did you expect anything less than perfection?


title: Quality

text: My husband's favorite magazine


title: Not what’s advertised

text: I wanted my grandchild to have the magazine that my children enjoyed when they were little. He has enjoyed it but he has only received 3 magazines since January and he was supposed to receive 10, and it’s up for renewal and like so many others have said, I’m finding it difficult to unsubscribe.


title: Great Value

text: Great pricing on subscription. Thanks!!!


title: Three Stars

text: This is not one of my books, I gave it to my grandson as a present


title: Sometimes It Arrives, Sometimes It Doesn't

text:
My issue with Businessweek is much less about the content than about the customer service.  Out of the first 24 issues in 2011, I received 13.  If I had wanted a 50% subscription, I would have paid for that.

What is worse is that I had to go back through all of the issues and list which I had not received.  The Customer Service department at Businessweek said that they would extend my subscription.  That, unfortunately, did not solve the problem of not getting the issues.  In the last 2 months, I have had to monitor which issues I receive and which I don't.  I then have to contact BW and at this point, they tell me that they don't know what to do about it besides maybe contacting the USPS (I'm sure I would get good customer service there).  I let them know that my other weekly magazine--Sports Illustrated--comes to the same office with no problems.

Subsequently, I switch my subscription to deliver to my house instead of the office and things get better for 3 weeks.  Then, it's back to receiving 50% of the issues.

There is some dripping irony in the fact that Businessweek cannot manage to operate the business of circulation or operate the business of customer service.  Fail, Businessweek, fail.

title: Meh - Better science mags out there

text: I have long loved Cricket magazines, but this one is seriously lacking.  The layout, the content, and the stories aren't interesting or intriguing. There was a whole issue on ants. Hmm.  It's not just that the science is watered down, it's just boring.  My kids are avid science, social studies, and literature lovers (boys ages 10 and 12), but while they will read other magazines and books from cover to cover, this one gets tossed--I mean actually tossed in the garbage.  It somehow resembles those free, throw-away magazines.  It's just unappealing.  I'm an English/gifted teacher and I do not recommend this magazine. If you are thinking about purchasing, you may want to do due diligence on the content to make sure it's something your kids would be into.

text: I just found it too expensive. The quality of the articles is mediocre, and there is a focus on qualitative rather than quantitative articles.


title: The best food publication out there

text: This is by far the best food mag published.  I have subscribed to it for years and it has never changed in it's excellence.  The articles are interesting human interest stories as well as food stories.  The recipes they offer actually work!


title: FRUSTRATING

text: product is great, it is frustrating that i keep cancelling as the $12 promo ended and now the auto subscribe for $42+ dollars.  It was great at $12.  beware signing up.  They don’t seem to care or have the ability to STOP!  Very Frustrating.


title: Not like it use to be

text: I feel like the quality and content has gone down over the years....


title: Worth getting for handyman in your home!

text: Hubby loves getting this magazine. He loves all the DIY's and ideas he gets from it and I love what he makes for the house


title: The best wine magazine for wine lovers

text: Great magazine and the best reference for keep learning about wines


title: Five Stars

text: The best car magazine


title: Five Stars

text: The best muscle car magazine


title: Great magazine and Amazon the best way for magazine subscriptions

text: An hilarious magazine which has made us laugh to death since we were teen agers. AMAZON the best channel for magasine subscriptions


title: Muscle Car Review the best Classic Car magazzine

text: I strongly recommend Muscle Car Review as the best classic american muscle car reference. Great notes and articles, and the best  documented information regarding classic muscle cars


title: The best wine magazine for wine lovers

text: Wine Spectator is the best reference media for wine tasting and pairing hints.<br />My favorite magazine, best articles and an endless information regarding wines for wine lovers like me.


title: Five Stars

text: For the intelligent student. She devoured the content. An avid reader of books at 7 years old. Now17.


title: Two Stars

text: A lot of recipes with odd ingredients that I probably won't use.


title: poor moral/ethics with this mag!

text: A relative ordered this mag for our 10 year old daughter.  There was no way I was letting her have this magazine.  It is about dating, big nite looks for under $35, and flawless skin.  Really?  For a 10-15 yr old?  The advertising in the magazine is horrible as well, PUMA ad with some female soccer person COVERED in tattoos!  UGLY!  And not what I want my kid thinking is ok or appropriate.


title: Great magazine for homeowners

text: Great tips and hints.


title: Not for plant based eaters

text: Was very disappointed. Nothing clean about eating cheese and meat. Assumed it was a plant based magazine


title: Great magazine

text: It's national geographic. Enough said.


title: Reviews Helped Me Decide

text: I had recently decided not to renew my subscription because of the app-only digital subscription I can't use, but then I started reading reviews. Mother Earth News impressed me by not cowing to people who see truth about black contributions to agriculture as "political" and "Orwellian???" (George Washington Carver, crop rotation & compost anyone?). I've ordered the new subscription directly from MEN to make sure they get as much money from my subscription as possible. May also send out some gift subscriptions as well. Meanwhile, I'll happily flip through the pages (even the ads) knowing people who desperately want to bury these historical facts can't.


title: Good candy!

text: Delicious real peppermint oil in these taffies. Love the taste and texture. The two pounds of candy is a generous amount and last a long while. This is resale great candy and Iw ill definitely order again.


title: Thank you

text: My special needs daughter loves this magazine. She and I like doing the activites listed in it and reading about intersting things and events with her. Thank you.


title: 5 Stars with an asterisk

text:
That is, why pay to have it delivered when you can get it for free online at [...]  All the articles minus the full page ads.  Plus all the archived issues back to March 30, 2001 (as of December 5, 2003).  If you insist on getting the "paper" issues, you can still subscribe to the paper magazine at their website for less than what you'll get here.
That said, the magazine/website itself is definately worth 5 stars.  It is more complete that any other poker-oriented magazine or website that I've seen.
Shuffle up and deal!


title: Great magazine!

text: I'm so glad to have this subscription as an adult. I remembered growing up and my dad always having a copy by his Lay-z-boy.


title: If there was an option for zero stars this would earn it!

text: This magazine is inundated with advertising. The few articles that do exist are saturated with trend ideals and sparcely include the moral values that the Boy Scout organization is said to imply. I am disappointed that the BS organization is willing to be associated with such junk, and supports yet another venue for exploiting funds from its particpants.


title: Only published every other month

text: Live this magazine

title: Good publication

text: I was hoping for more diversity so I did not renew my subscription


title: Great

text: Need this magazine. Happy to renew it.


title: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE!!!?????

text: Come on! How long does it take to actually get this magazine in the mail!! Ordered this forever ago and STILL HAVE NOT RECIEVED IT!!!<br />Really upsetting to wait and wait!


title: Love this magazine

text: Great magazine which gets us excited about cooking! Captivating photos and recipes that are sensible, not overly complex but fresh and unique. a wonderful variety.


title: 90% Ad?!! What am I paying for?

text:
Well I am so pissed off by ordering this journal. It has some good stuff but more than that it is all advertisement! So I do not understand why I have to pay for it, when companies already paid for that amount of advertisement.

They just sent me 2 issues and now after one year they asked a 3rd party company to send me a letter and ask me for 12 bucks!! I prefer to send those 2 issues back rather than paying either a penny for those ads!


This is a Christmas present and a surprise for my husband.  He is interested in many different subjects and loves to learn new things.  I am sure he will enjoy receiving this magaziine!


This is a Christmas present.  My husband is very interested in Astronomy and I'm sure he will really enjoy receiving this magazine!


title: very interesting

text: This magazine is well worth the $12/yr I got it for. I read each page and im not that big on reading


title: ... birthday gift for my grandson and he is very happy with it

text: This magazine was also a birthday gift for my grandson and he is very happy with it.


title: Five Stars

text: This was a birthday gift for my grandson, who loves it.


title: HGTV MAGAZINE - AMAZON

text: THIS MAGAZINE IS AWESOME!  IT'S JUST LIKE WATCHING THE TV SHOW.  I WATCH THE PROGRAM ON TV; ALL OF THE VARIOUS SEGMENTS & THE MAGAZINE INCLUDES ARTICLES & PICTURES VERY EVERY ASPECT OF THE TV PROGRAM.  I WILL CONTINUE TO ALWAYS RECEIVE THIS MAGAZINE!


title: Great Price

text: We have subscribed to Handman for many years.  This Handman 2 year subscription is the best price around.  I hope the price stays the same. This is one of our favorite magazines and offers many "do it yourself" projects.


title: Not For The Common Person!

text: I can page through 3 out of 4 issues and not find a single thing, even something little, that I think would work for me or that I wish I could afford.


title: very happy

text: first issue came ealier than I expected!  Great!


title: Very informative

text: As a beginning chicken person, this magazine is very informative about basic chicken health.


title: It wasn't worth the money

text: Did not like the price somehow I missed it

title: Five Stars

text: Great gardening magazine!


I managed to get 1 year worth for $19 during an Amazon deal of the day. Can't complain since that's only $1.58 per issue. I mostly subscribe for the beautiful photography in NG. Whoever does the covers for this magazine is a true artist. Not gonna lie, the content can be quite liberal sometimes though. Conservatives beware.


title: great advertised product

text: great gift ,well written and fun to read. can be enjoyed by the whole family.


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine, great recipes and articles. A long time subscriber


title: The Standard

text: The standard in sports writing and news in print format. Watching ESPN is easier and more entertaining and the web may be faster but SI is still great quality. SI especially stands out if you want STORIES as opposed to just news.


title: Great for Ideas for Adventures, Gear, Tips, Etc.

text: Great place to go to get ideas and info on gear and products, trails and adventures, and some general tips and safety info. Not a lot of depth to any of the info but a great kickstarting guide to get some ideas that you can then research elsewhere.


title: Great for generating ideas

text:
I wrestled between 2 and 3 stars. In the end, when I flip through Entrepreneur I'm usually disappointed. Inevitably there will be some helpful info but there are other magazines that offer much more in content and layout that are in the same price range (ex: Inc, Fast Company, maybe Wired).

UPDATE: Solid 4 stars, the publication has notably increased in value for me. Great place to get updated and more importantly for me, generate ideas.


title: Good for what it is

text: I don't go to Inc to get life changing information or deep, well written philosophy. I go to Inc to get ideas and encouragement for business and life. For that, I think it's pretty good.


title: Excellent Publication!

text: This magazine should be considered a "must read" by every Corvette enthusiast. Very well written with great photography.....


title: Great resource for all levels of quilters

text: Modern, current and up to date. I have the first issue published on a mimeograph machine.


title: TIME magazine for today

text: The articles are timely and insightful. At most they are 3 pages long and give an in interesting perspective on current events.


title: Great deal

text: Really great value


title: Nice magazine with great ideas for the handymen!

text: This was a surprise for the handyman husband. He loves it!<br />I just wish -like with any magazine in the United States-  it would actually contain less advertisement and more material subject.


This magazine is like watching Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, except you’re reading instead of watching, and there’s no Anthony Bourdain.


title: Great articles

text: I like the articles and like so many magazines hate the amount of ads


title: best for genealogy

text: If you are addicted to genealogy then you need this magazine

title: Five Stars

text: the family is enjoying the magazine


title: You cant be serious

text: I'm pretty sure this is a free trade publication available at bodyshopbuisness.com<br />Good try though.


title: Takes too long

text: I dont understand why it takes soo long to get magazine subscriptions. I hate that the ones in stores are the ones I want but wont be getting because it has passed the time of that issue. Boo. Hopefully it will get better.


title: Loved this magazine

text: Loved this magazine, sad they are no longer printing it.  They said they would replace my paid subscription without a year of People magazine, at have yet to receive it.


title: Digital

text: So, couldn’t find mag in book stores anymore, ordered on Amazon, after 4 weeks get letter that said, by the way, we don’t print anymore, your subscription is now Digital. What the h—-, a “Primitive “, let me repeat PRIMITIVE, Archery Mag now Digital. SCREWED. Who wants to read a mag on a cell phone screen. These guys now deserve to go out of business. DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THIS SCAM. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Just Google primitive bow building and watch what others doing. ISHI did not build boys digitally. Come on guys, just close your digital rag down.


title: Invest in your self

text: Excellent articles.  Useful  information .Help your self. Learn what you can do to stay healthy.  Many food ideas and fashion too


title: Great All-Around Magazine

text: I really enjoy Real Simple Magazine.  Lots of good useful tips for around the house, yard, etc.  I always enjoy seeing the new products and tips for organizing.  The title of the mag says it all - Real and Simple.  Everything is simple enough that anyone can do it!


title: Five Stars

text: took a long time to get, but it is worth it!


title: Three Stars

text: not like 2 or 3 years ago


title: Great magazine.  I recommend

text: Comes every month !


title: Solid magazine for teens without a ton of celebrities

text: Solid magazine for teen girl.  Articles are relatively age-appropriate and about topics that are important to many teen girls (fashion, friendship, boys, school, activities and socializing).  Notice I said "many", obviously if your teen is not into these things, then this would not be a good fit.  I also like that this magazine features more "regular teens" and less "celebrity teens" (like J14).  There are celebrity articles, however. For those worried about delivery:  I ordered this in October, and she received her first issue within a month, which I consider a quick turn-around for online subscriptions.


title: Fantastic

text: All You for $12?!??? I'm in!!! Love the coupons. You could possibly save more than the subscription in the first month!


title: Perfect Christmas Present

text: We bought a subscription for all of our grandchildren.  It is so much fun to see them learn and discover the world!


title: Great Resource!

text: Vegetarian Times has come a long way over the years!  The recipes are creative.  The photos are well done.  As my family is vegan, there are many recipes in each issue that aren't appropriate for us but the "level" of vegetarianism is clearly labeled on the recipes themselves and on the chart of recipes near the back of the magazine as well.  New to vegetarianism?  An old  pro?  You can't miss with VT!


title: Not a source of many recipes

text: A great subscription price; a source of not many recipes! Lots of other information!


title: Great source of recipes

title: Four Stars

text: Very good, on time, interesting articles, although wish started before 8PM .


title: Pleasantly surprised!!!

text: I was able to purchase this magazine on sale and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the articles. Not only do they have recipes, but it also covers health and beauty tips, and other topics related to everyday life, which I found extremely  helpful. I will definitely renew my subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: my favorite!


title: Dinosaur

text: Declining rapidly.


Mostly bead weaving pattens.  I prefer more variety like Bead and Button.


title: Interesting to Read and Great Recipes

text: I enjoyed the subscription to Food Network magazine not only for the wonderful recipes, but tempting photos and articles about the various chefs.  The only reason I didn't renew after the year is that I am inundated with recipes from so many sources that there is no time to try the vast majority of what is out there.  However, it was fun for the time and the quality and content were superb.


title: Good deal, take time to arrive.

text: Love it! Thank you, it might take long time to arrive but it will come. Good deAl for price here.


title: Great magazine

text: I am new to fly fishing and subscribing to this magazine has been very interesting and educational.


title: Essential information for crafters

text: I work at a Renaissance Faire, and, as of last year,  am also a crafter. One day I was going through some things from the attic at work, and found back issues of the Crafts Report, circa the late 1990s. I found articles even in years-old issues helpful, and thought, "Why not? Current issues would likely be helpful as well." The very first issue gave me a clue to finding some information (about season color popularity) that, as far as I am concerned, pays for the whole subscription. The ads--a portion of a magazine I normally avoid like the plague--are great, as they suggest other possible venues close to me, or offer ideas for sourcing materials. Other articles suggest ways of breaking into completely different venues, upscaling your offerings, how to determine what you need to charge to make a product cost effective, and so much more. Even if you are an established, successful crafter of long standing, I suspect this magazine will offer new insights and ideas.


title: Meah...

text: Good magazine but I have since then let my subscription expire.  It's pretty boring, and I prefer Sunset (I live in the West)


title: Great reads

text: Always a good read, up to date and informative!


title: Good Stuff!

text:
I'm very impressed.  At first I was bummed because Grandma sent this and didn't listen to me. I wanted Ladybug for my 3 year old.  I think this one has more content.  We looked at a ladybug once and we keep coming back to the High Five because there is so much stuff to do in it.  There's 34 pages in the March 2007 issue.

Here's the table of contents:

Let's Read Aloud together!  7 poems/stories of a variety of topics and art styles

Let's Puzzle it Out! 5 puzzles- a few are very easy so she feels successful but there are couple more challenging ones (but not too)

Let's Make Something! 3 crafts/recipes

Let's Move! 2 different activities

Very happy and looking forward to next month's magazine!


title: Sunset Mag

text: Somehow this great magazine has fallen down when it comes to interesting articles...I will not be renewing my subscription, sorry to say.


title: What a great deal! I use the hat for running/painting/mowing the ...

text: $5/6 months!  What a great deal!  I use the hat for running/painting/mowing the lawn, etc., unless you're really really into Wired.


title: If you're in to high end audio

text: Covering a wide variety of audio equipment from writers that get the point across on how each audio component sounds you can't beat this audio magazine. I eagerly wait every month for each issue.


A great audiophile audio magazine that covers equipment that I like. More importantly they view stereo equipment instead of boring home theater equipment.


title: My husband is happy

text: He used to pick up this magazine for free in the casinos, but we no longer live close to any.  I ordered the subscription as a surprise and he was very happy when he pulled it out of the mailbox.  They're very informative of what is going on in the world of poker plus it gives extra access to their website for even more info.  We'll be renewing when the time comes.


title: Fast shipping

text: I’ve received 4 magazines so far since signing up in late November! Love this magazine and was so happy to see that Amazon partners for them!


title: NOT a STEM magazine

text:
I bought this thinking it would be a great magazine focused on STEM facts.  Instead, I received a magazine that had 3 pages of science and 40 pages of stories. Many of those stories weren’t even related to STEM. While I appreciate the civil rights movements, that is history.  While they may use a science topic as the premise for an article, the article itself is not rooted solely in scientific facts. Their articles are 10% science and 90% emotion/opinion/personal narrative.
There’s a small article about kid activists and climate change. The last line states, “Their first collective demand? Banning petroleum vehicles.” That’s all good and well-but what is that actually teaching the child who reads this? Teach the children about the science of a gas powered vehicle vs. an electric powered vehicle.
Until they write articles about actual science, the description needs to be, “Muse is a magazine for kids that covers social issues in the world and what kids do”.

title: Not for kids only

text: This is one outstanding magazine. I haven't seen anything that comes close to the creativity, yummy recipes and gorgeous photos that this one has. And while I know that it's aimed at my kids, I can't help but stash it for myself first before they even know another issue has arrived! Besides being a parent, I'm also an elementary teacher. My PTO is considering funding a subscription for every family ~ it's that good. In the meantime, our nurse and PE teacher are as big a cheerleader with their issues as I am with mine. I highly recommend it!


title: Magazine for people who like to read

title: Maybe a good magazine - if you can get it

text:
I subscribed in Sept 04 and still have not received any single issue (as of Jan 05). There is no phone number or email address, so the only way to contact them is by mail, only they don't respond. They took my money, and I never heard from them again.

Finally I had enough and subscribed to Garden Gate Magazine instead. They are prompt and efficient, and the magazine is great.

text: Somehow I got involved with this subscription I already had a subscription Be Careful it took lot of phone calls to Real simple to get it right I thought I was extending subscription when indeed it was a new subscription  Yikes what a pain


title: GREAT DEAL!!!

text: I've been in love with Reader's Digest for almost two years now. GREAT magazine! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! :) And the deal I got on here was amazing too!


title: I wanted to like it.

text: Not much substance. I wanted to like it.


title: Beautiful Audrey Hepburn 1940's swing dress.

text: I loved this dress I received so many compliments until it overwhelmed me. The only reason I did not give this dress 5 stars because it's a tad bit snug in the shoulder area.  It's beautiful and can go from daytime until the evening.


title: Great read

text: Great magazine. Really interesting and fun articles. Always enjoy seeing it each month, excited when it arrives.


title: I didn't buy this

text: I didn't buy this


title: It's all reviews

text: I enjoyed Car and Driver but did not renew. It is strictly reviews, mostly high-end drives that are not practical for me. No projects, stories, or adventures. This made it ultimately kind of boring to me.


title: Great value

text: My husband loves this magazine


title: Way to kill your credibility, Experience Life.

text: Clearly, a magazine that would give credence to a liar, fraud, and "organic" shill like Vani Hari, is not a magazine that aims to bring any truth or knowledge to its readers.


title: You Get What You Pay For!

text: Ordered my subscription in July - after MANY phone calls finally received first issue in November! To add insult to injury: I received EXACTLY 5 months of magazine for the 6-month subscription I paid for... BEWARE!


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine. Very informative.


title: My Folks Love It!

text: My dad called to let me know he got his first issue.  He and mom love it.  I knew that they would.  Thanks Amazon for making it available at a great cost.


title: Five Stars

text: Fun to read, cheap subscription price


title: Not a gossip rag.

text: If you are interested in any field of entertainment and would like current information, this is a great magazine.  Light reading and generally well written, with excellent photos and graphics.


title: Five Stars

text: I've always loved this magazine.


title: Phenomenal deal for 2 yr subscription!

text: Marie Claire is a fantastic magazine full of fashion, style, beauty, and tips.  I really like the investigative articles. Last month the magazine had an excellent piece regarding Honor Killings in America. The article was investigative and poignant. I have subscribed to Marie Claire for the past year.  I just received a subscription renewal from the magazine today.  I decided to shop around to see if there was a better deal.  The magazine offered 12 mths for 10.00 or 24 mths for 18.00.  I found 24 mths for 12.00 plus 5.00 off the subscription through a special on Amazon. Thus, 7.00 for 24mths! It doesn't get better than that. I very pleased with this deal offered thru Amazon!

title: Nice Mag -- But you'll Never See It

text:
I ordered this on Feb 14th -- over 3 months ago. Amazon has closed the order. I've just received a card saying that I won't see it for at least another 4 weeks. Totally unacceptable. Shame, because it's a great magazine, but I've been holding off buying it on the newsstands because I was expecting to receive it.

UPDATE (7/25) -- It STILL hasn't arrived, nearly SIX MONTHS LATER. I've just talked with Synapse customer support, and they were truly unhelpful.

UPDATE 2 (9/26) -- I eventually called Amazon, and they said they would cancel the subscription and credit me -- But I paid $20.51 and they only credited me with $12.67! Note that I never recieved a SINGLE issue.

This IS a great magazine, but Synapse are failing to fulfill, and are 'playing games' with the refunds.


title: Diverse and instructional

text: This is a fantastic magazine for all artists, drawing or psinting.


title: Enjoyable Reading

text: This magazine provides good information on health issues and exercises tips. The only drawback is that there are a numerous amount of advertisements.


title: Pretty Good

text: My daughter loves to ride so I was excited to get this for her. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that this was for younger kids.


title: This magazine covers it all

text: This magazine has great articles about real human beings.


title: It has everything I look for in a magazine.

text: Love this magazine! The best!

I subscribed for my mother as she's always reading reviews about different products.  She seems to swear by it and has enjoyed receiving it.

Just an FYI; it can take up to two (2) months before the first issue arrives after subscribing.  This was a partial gift for my mom, but didn't make it there in time (a month after) for her birthday.


title: Best Aviation magazine out there.

text: I've subscribed to Flight Journal since it first came out years ago. It is my all time favorite aviation magazine.  They do lots of first hand account type stories and have a great variety of articles covering wide range of aviation.


title: Five Stars

text: One of the best sports magazine for the price.


title: Insults its own audience

text:
I bought a few issues of EGM off the shelf, but I won't buy any more. The writers frequently insult gamers (their own customers!) and make rude jokes based on old stereotypes. Jokes that are aimed at 15 year-olds. Reading this magazine I get the feeling that the writers either hate their jobs, hate their audience, or hate themselves. Possibly all three. It's not pleasant to read, and it's not worth your attention.

If you can afford it, I recommend you read either Edge or games(TM) magazine. Both are printed in England, so they are pricier than American magazines. But both are much more intelligently written and have longer, more in-depth articles.

If their price is more than you want to spend on a magazine, you could also try GameInformer. GameInformer is a bit thinner but still provides good interviews and decent reviews, with a lot of smaller capsule reviews. I appreciate that they print two opinions on every review, since obviously everyone has different tastes.

Either way, Edge, games(TM), and GameInformer are magazines that respect their audience. EGM does not.


title: THE Mustang magazine

text: If you're into classic Mustangs, this is the only magazine.  Great features on rare cars, plus technical Q&A and detailed how-to articles. I never want to throw one away.  Highly recommended!


title: Easy to read

text: Great articles<br />Good reviews of items


title: A Must For Any Sports Fan

text: My son looks forward to getting a new issue every week. He loves the details behind today's current sports headlines.


title: Great Gift For A Great Dad

text: Perfect gift for anyone who loves to hunt & fish. The price also makes it very easy on the wallet.


title: Looked forward to getting this:)

text: Great recipes and articles!


title: No interest in an electronic version

text:
No smart phone, no e-reader ... I buy magazines for the ease of a few moments of quiet time.  On the toilet, waiting in a lobby, eating fast food. It waits for months and years without a battery.  I don't care if I lose it.  I don't want to spend my "quality" time fumbling for a powerbutton & hotlinks.  I don't want moving advertising & flashy gifs. I don't want you knowing, what I'm doing, quite frankly.

BTW, this mag was on sale for $5 for a 6 month sub.  It was cool and edgy 15 years ago, but, honestly can't bring myself to read past the hipster headlines... will not be renewing.


title: A Perfect Crochet Magazine

text: This is my other favorite Crochet magazine.  They have great designs and the patterns are easy to follow.  The magazine rates their projects from easy to difficult.  This is so helpful.  I won't try a difficult pattern  unless I'm up to the challenge. I hate starting a project and then find it is a difficult pattern to follow.


title: Favorite Crochet Magazine

text: This is one of my favorite crochet magazines.  They have patterns from easy to difficult.  Their instructions are very clear.  They stay on the cutting edge of fashion with their designs.

text: Great magazine.  It fuels my hunger to visit all the places in the stories and photos.


title: Great stories and information

text: I love Reader's Digest, have been a subscriber for many years


title: The review I never thought I'd write...

text:
Been a subscriber to Car and Driver for about 30 years (crazy to say that!  When the hell did I get this old?), and, for 28.5 of those years, I'd have given a 5+ star review.  I loved almost all the writers and felt I'd gotten to know them over the years.  I loved the quirkiness and I didn't mind the occasional issue full of truck or minivan reviews, I love reading about cars I'll never be able to afford, or odd vehicles that aren't cars.  I loved the Letters to Ed. and would often scoff at the uptight ninnies who would write in to complain about some aspect of the magazine and then end their letter proclaiming they were cancelling their subscription...

With the most recent editorial change, I tried to give it a chance but it is clear that this mag is not coming back from their "wokeness".  Issues full of e-cars, frequent fearful references to COVID, and social justice references simply aren't enjoyable to read.  And putting a ridiculous "interview" with Biden on the last page of the most recent issue?  Ooookay.  <insert eyeroll here>

It's a shame because I still enjoy much of the writing and the (ever fewer) car reviews but it seems that this magazine has gone from forging their own path to taking the path more traveled, along with so many other mega-corporations...


title: Great magazine

text: Very informative. Great recipes


title: Mostly Advertisements

text: Unfortunately, most of this magazine is utilized as ad space. There are very few actual articles. Not much that is useful to be found here.


title: It's good for country life

text: Not what I expected


title: She's terrible.

text: I'm sure the clientele appreciate her appearance on the cover of this magazine, but it's downright dangerous to promote the views of a medical pseudoscientist. Vani Hari is dumbing down our nation with unwarranted distrust of science that may actually put a dent in world hunger. She's terrible.


title: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

text: I ordered Highlights and High Five for my boys for Christmas.  That was in Dec. 2009.  It is now March 8, 2010 and even with all of my phone calls and Amazon's request to Magazine Exress, NOTHING!  I am now trying to get reimbursed.  What a total disappointment.  Do not make the same mistake I did.  The magazines are probably great, I would find another way to order them!  I have looked at other reviews and found I am not the only one in this boat!


title: Five Stars

text: This is such a sweet magazine.


title: Looking for the new issue every month!

text: I have been a subsciber of OL for quite some time now, around 15 years.  I have been a fan for a lot longer than that.  Great informational articles as well as special interest reading.  Bring back Pat McManus and the last laugh!


title: Great magazine

text: Yes, Beter Homes and Gardens has a lot of ads but it's still a great little magazine.  Excellent and practical indoor and outdoor home interior design tips, great style tips (which are affordable),and wonderful straightforward recipes.  It's worth the subscription.


title: Unhappy with subscription but happy with Amazon Customer Service

text:
I ordered a one year subscription in August 2011 and was expecting it to start in September with the October issue.  Instead like a couple of others I received four issues in mid-September - June, July/Aug, September and October.  When I contacted customer service and complained they said they would extend my subscription by 2 issues.  I just received my May issue (its March) and it states my last issue will be June (which will arrive in April).  So basically I ordered in August and the subscription started in September and will end in April.  Not a one year subscription by my definition and definitely not extended by two issues as promised.

*UPDATE*  Amazon customer service stepped in and fixed this for me.  Love Amazon but will not be renewing this magazine.


title: Useful Information

text: I love all the short stories, humor and useful information in Reader's Digest. It's great to carry in a small bag when waiting in a doctor's office or sitting outside just to get some fresh air. I grew up with these at home so it's nice to have again.


title: Five Stars

text: Full of Fantastic recipes & ideas!!  THANKS!!!!!!!!!

text: We got this as a gift for two of our grandsons and they love it! They really enjoy doing the activities and projects. The magazine is educational and fun!


title: Eyecatching cover

text: I like their photography. Caters to the more affluent, less to a more common traveler.  Detailed explanations as to location excellwnt.  Has their own attraction for traveling.


title: Only received for one month.

text: Got this magazine for one month and received a notice saying it would be replaced with People but never received People magazine.  Not interested in People magazine at all.


title: Not getting all of the issues.

text: My son is supposed to get issues every 2 months but we rarely get them. He loves the content when we get them but like I said, we don't get all the issues we are supposed to be getting. I feel very ripped off by purchasing a subscription from them.


title: Buyer beware

text: Did not like how they automatically re-subscribe you at a high cost


title: Great magazine

text: This magazine highlights the true European Country look. Great ideas for furniture, fabric, gardens, and painted furniture. This magazine also gives you exposure to British vendors an American would not be exposed to in an American decorating magazine.


title: Our State magazine is the best!

text: This is the best magazine ever. I love reading about my state. Thank you!


title: No more coupons. Lots of misinformation. Printed on cheap paper. Do not buy!

text:
I used to like it, and actually PAID for a subscription through Amazon a few years back...until they stopped putting more than 1 or 2 coupons in each issue! They used to put $75-100 in coupons in EACH issue (which is why I actually paid for the subscription before).

Now I would never pay for a subscription, as there aren't any coupons anymore and it is printed on such horrible, cheap paper that I don't enjoy reading it very much. The articles are not useful at all, as I have found their information to be very spotty and even completely incorrect on a few occasions! (I even called them out before on a piece about Best Buy/recycling electronics and they admitted they were wrong to me, but not to anyone else. I wasted a trip to a store far away because of their misinformation! I felt bad for anyone else who did the same.)

 I still get a subscription for FREE by using points from doing surveys on a website I've been a member of, but I probably won't even waste my points anymore after the number of coupons has basically gone down with every issue for the last 2 years.

text: BEST VEGAN  magazine EVER. They are non biased and I LEARNED about all the new PRODUCTS and services. From recipes, cruises,books,foods ,causes its the VEGAN encylopedia

title: Best car magazine you can buy

text: Order this magazine if you like to read car reviews and comparisons.  Their staff is spot on with analysis.


title: Waste of money

text: Bad articles mainly not many reviews of cars.  Motor Trend is better.


title: Must Have Resource

text: Plugged-In is a welcome resource in our home.  We have used plugged-in online for years to obtain reviews on movies, music, games, tv shows, etc. Let's face it parents, we don't have time to do all the reviews ourselves.  I for one, am thankful there is a trusted source out there that states the facts; good, bad or indifferent. That's exactly what Plugged-in does.  They rate a movie, for instance and highlight the pro-social content, objectional content and end with a summery/advisory.  Of course, it's a magazine published by an Evangelical Ministry so there are articles relating the the world of Christianity.  If you're easily offended by the teachings of the Jesus Christ, or view points of Christians, go easy on the articles and stick to the reviews.  But don't blast the magazine for doing exactly what it set out to accomplish and reach the target it intended.  As parents, when we have questions regarding our kid's friends, we go to the source - those who know the friends.  Regardless of their faith, I want to know what they know about "Johnny"; the analogy is the same w/ entertainment.  After reading the magazine or going online, my husband and I, along w/ our children can make wise decisions regarding what goes in their heads in the name of entertainment.  Some may call that "legalism", we call it wise parenting.  You know the old cliche - garbage in, garbage out!  We wouldn't fill their bodies w/ garbage, why fill their precious minds w/ garbage?


title: I did NOT get what I paid for

text:
I received only one electronic issue. I never received the next one, which appears to have been released weeks ago. I never received a single print edition. I never received a tote bag.

I enjoyed the one electronic issue, but the whole experience was less than satisfying to say the least.


title: Best design magazine!

text: This is my favorite magazine,  beautiful layouts and fantastic design!


title: Where's that "change of address" card?

text: This was sent to my mailbox, instead of to the intended recipient, even though it was purchased from her Amazon Wish List.


title: Great deal

text: Can't beat it for $10.


title: Nephew loves it

text: My nephew, who just turned 15, has been getting it for a year and wanted it renewed! So, he is now getting it for a second year.


title: Always a Great Magazine

text: Although I haven't received my first issue yet, I know from past experience that it is and always has been, a great read! Also, it was offered at a great, "can't refuse" price.


title: You will not receive monthly issues at all

text: Although I love highlights...I ordered this in December as a xmas gift for my Godson. He has received one issue since January. So disappointed. Don’t bother subscribing, you’ll pay $40 for one issue.


title: Love Readers Dijest

text: To read


title: Martha, Please Exit

text: The last thing we need right now is Martha.  She would make bouquets of the toilet paper we need for actually using as toilet paper.  Her very presence spits in the face of the poor.  She needs to go do charity work to redeem herself.


title: I always look forward to the next issue

text: I used to subscribe to quite a few magazines, but no more. Now I have only 2 subscriptions, and HGTV is one of them. It is the only magazine I don't toss away after I'm done reading it. I enjoy going back for ideas and inspiration. My granddaughters love to explore them also and we discuss future "makeovers" together while "shopping" from the pages of the magazine. Fun!

title: Five Stars

text: Great mag for readers. I've gotten it for years now and always look forward to the new issues.


title: What A Waste

text: Truly terrible. It's all quick hits...I can get than on Mashable or Buzzfeed. I expect a monthly (monthly!) magazine to provide more insight than this. You have a month and all you can give me is 50-word articles and silly graphs? The tech industry deserves much, much better.


title: Amazing Gift

text: I got this subscription as a birthday present and I am in love with it. I just renewed my subscription. I would recommend it to anybody. It's a very well-rounded magazine. There's a beauty section and stuff for "just you"  and there's recipes for healthy cooking and exercise moves. I could go on and on. I will always have this subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it!


title: Low Vision

text: Excellent gift for my 95 yr old mother with low vision.


title: Too many ads.

text: Too many ads.  Not enough articles for simple tips and tricks to stay fit and eat right.


title: the magazine was so-o nice,

text: The articles were so nice to read, quick and you could enjoy the beautiful pics


title: Cancelling is easy

text:
Time itself is a good magazine, but what really stands out here is Synapse Services. After subscribing through Amazon I discovered that we had already bought a subscription from somewhere else.

I shot these guys an e-mail with order number and subscription address, asking to cancel it, and braced myself for a rather long conversation over the phone with usual questions why we are canceling, why we don't want to accept a discount to continue our subscription etc.

Next morning I was pleasantly surprised to find in my inbox a confirmation, that the order has been canceled.

Solid A+ for service.


title: Fashionistas magazine

text: Harper's Bazaar is  a magazine that does not disappoint...if you love fashion and visual guidelines on how to wear accessories, which bag is hot, what is new, what is appropriate for your age...this is the magazine for you. I would say this is for the St. John and Louis Vuitton shoppers...more upscale and/or mature audience for sure.


title: Five Stars

text: Good info.


title: Not worth it

text: Flimsy and thin magazine, a real leftist woke<br />Rag


title: Beware

text: I was happy w my year subscription, but it reordered on its own, I didn’t receive an email about it, I caught it the next day on my bank account and they refused to cancel. I have removed my bank card from Amazon. And no, it wasn’t automatic renewal.


title: Magazine bargain

text: Love this Magazine


title: Love the Magazine and Happy With Delivery Service

text: This is the first Non-USA edition magazine that I have ever subscribed to and I was a little nervous about purchasing a subscription because of the cost.  My subscription was to begin with the July issue and it showed up within the first week of July.  Again, because I had never bought a subscription outside of the USA, I was concerned that the magazine would be loose without a plastic shrinkwrap, but it arrived nicely shrinkwrapped without the magazine name listed to deter someone opening it and reading it prior to it being delivered (I KNOW they read my USA ones!).  I am very happy with the delivery and I LOVE the magazine, no magazine in the USA even comes close to being as beautiful as Vogue Paris. Very happy I decided to subscribe!


title: scholarly yet easy to understand

text: Enjoyable, scholarly yet easy to understand. I love reading it and learning a bit more with every article. A magazine that's great from front cover to back. Highly recommended.


title: A first-class look at international relations

text: Le Monde Diplomatique is unsurpassed in the french and english news media as a unique source of timely information from throughout the world. I highly encourage reading it, for much of its content is not only high quality but difficult to find elsewhere.


title: This magazine is pretty darn great

text: This magazine is pretty darn great. I read each issue cover to cover and find lots of inspiration. I also catalog them and actually look back on previous issues (there are some memorable spreads for me!). Also my mother and sister subscribe, so it's a talking point for us when we get together!


I love this magazine for it's tool reviews, garden spreads, and practical homeowner stuff. I like it less for the design because sometimes I think it can be a little dated and conservative (it could be that the average reader is a bit older than me - I'm 25). The home tours are always great from a renovating standpoint (I love that they feature tons of Craftsmans!), but there are some tours that are not relatable to me because of the homogenized decor. And every now and then, they spend 3-6 pages on a very specific project, which I think could be either shortened or just linked to online. That's valuable page space! I will absolutely continue subscribing to this magazine because it's more about serious DIY stuff than about buying trendy of-the-moment tchotchkes like some other home magazines. I have learned a lot from it!


title: My "go to" for all things dog ...

text: A subscriber for decades now, it's the one of the first resources I turn to for researching a variety of subjects.  It was most helpful when a young male came up with crystals in his urine and we were trying to figure out what we were dealing with and how to treat.  The annual food review has proved to be invaluable when adding new foods to our rotation.  WDJ does not take commercial advertising so as to provide an unbiased review.  I've found their protocols on vaccinations and health care to be aligned with a less invasive approach.  Being involved with rescue, the training and behavioral articles are well written and easy to implement.  Indeed, more than a few dogs have benefited from the advice over the years as they've gone to their new homes.  Highly recommend!


title: Great magazine

text: It’s a great magazine covering various topics for men. I have been reading it for years.


title: Not Your Mother's T&C, It's More Talitha Getty than Preppy Handbook

text: I didn't quite know what to expect from T&C, but picked up a single copy and liked it, so I subscribed. In the two years since, it has gotten better with each issue. The tableau-type editorial pages where they pick a selection of clothes/products/jewelry/furnishings are luxe and exotic, internationally flavored and funky. If T&C in the past represented a staid older traditional approach, the T&C of today is (to me at least) more aimed at a Generation X demographic who is coming into their prime earning years, investing in art and relaxing travel, definitely focused on their home and living well from food to health to fashion. For GenX, the children of the hippie generation, the magazine is way way more cutting edge, down to earth, global, and sexy than past iterations. I love the homes and destinations profiled, from Morocco to Nashville. The vacations are off the beaten path, and super cool. Overall there is an aspirational tone aimed at living the good life, yet it is not snobby or class based. They manage to be informative without being snobby; quite a feat that they achieved this and I credit the editors and writers for that.  Let elitism be based on aestheticism and the love of beauty in the 21st century, not an outmoded social register.  The only thing I would suggest is for them to add even more historical and biographical profiles. Most elements of living daily life as an art form don't change dramatically, and there is much to be learned from the lifestyles of other eras, from the interesting exciting lives from the past. And of course, we all love a good scandal now and then!


title: just a bunch of commercials

text: Guess magazines for the most part aren't worth buying anymore.  just a bunch of advertisements.


title: In depth, wide ranging needlework styles

text: This is such a fantastic publication. The wide range of needlework styles and backgrounds is amazing. The stories are so in depth and have wonderful references to further explore each subject. I have been reading this publication for years and am never disappointed.


Great tips and simple step-by-step answers to questions, product guides and timesavers. This is one of the most budget friendly purchases I make all year long. I have saved thousands of dollars by knowing about prevention and doing things right the first time.


title: Great magazine 👌

text: It is a magazine for anyone interested in doing home improvements. It gives fabulous ideas. Pictures are awesome. Great idea magazine!!! Love it 😎


title: nice magazine

text: Great magazine,  nice articles and beautiful pictures.  I don't hunt but love dogs, this magazine has great articles on working dogs.


title: Hello Magazine

text: Have not had an issue in a month. Please check.


title: Good magazine for pre-teens

text: This is a magazine for my now 11 year old daughter.  I wanted her to have something that would portray real girls with real issues.  She seems to enjoy this magazine and looks forward to it. Thank you.


title: PRETTY OK

text: WELL


title: Never hated hipsters more

text: I got this free the other day and I've been having a hard time getting through it.  Expensive fashion and makeup, with some articles on music that focus on the band members' preference for skinny jeans.  British cosmetic brands they wish were available here?  Hotels with great spas?  I'm not sure who the target audience is.


title: Three Stars

text: slow to get started and wish I could extend existing subscription


title: Used to love Wired.... Now? I'm just sad I paid to have it show up every month.

text: What was once a phenomenal technology magazine that wrote exceptional content seems to have devolved into a political commentary with a dash of technology sprinkled on top. If I wanted to absorb commentary on the dumpster fire that is 2020, I'd do so with any of the gazillion media outlets spewing information daily. When I subscribe to a magazine about technology, I don't need a perfectly fine story to derail for half a page about the current social climate, or politics, or what-not. A tech magazine should write about tech. Leave the politics and social commentary to their own respective outlets.


title: The magazine

text: I look forward to it every month. Subscribe but heaven help you if you move during the subscription period. Makes me WANT to cook.


title: Something positive to look at

text: I've always loved tge Birds and Blooms magazine.  I purchased this subscription for my friend who is fighting cancer. It gives her something beautiful to look at while she's undergoing chemo.


title: Love the articles

text: Love the articles and sky highlights for the month.  Miss the equipment reviews.


title: Love Nat Geo

text: Item as expected.  Love Nat Geo.


title: Pleasantly surprised!

text: It came bearing the name of Martha Stewart on the cover so I immediately became skeptical. I'm not that type of gal! But the content was amazing!!! I couldn't put it down. The articles were ME and more!!! I read it cover to cover...except the make-up section and was truly delighted with the content. The articles were intellectually stimulating and diverse.


title: Simple with huge flavors.!

text: recipes are always easy to follow & & come out better than expected.!


title: Lucky is great for younger women

text: Got this 1 yr. subscription for free with another order.  I enjoy looking at it however, it is very much geared for younger women.


title: Bargain

text: Great price for a subscription to this Magazine. I have been a subscriber to Elle Decor for years. The Amazon price is the best.

user_id: AFGNDNGDUEMTBBTVIROTATTCYHLA


title: incredibly out of touch with reality

text: as others have stated, this publication is full of items that are way out of the price/practicality range of most families. i was offered a free subscription to this magazine based on other purchases and refused it. they sent it anyway and it only served to confirm the poor reviews written here.


title: Best mag on market

text:
Cottage Journal, in my opinion, is one of the finest mags on the market today. That includes all countries, not just
USA. One of few mags with such great quality paper. A bible for anyone who loves the cottage feel in their home.
I dropped all my mags except this one.


title: I can't review what I haven't received....

text: I purchased two magazine subscriptions at the same time and I've already received 2 magazines from the other vendor but have not received not one magazine from this vendor.  This is the worst service I have ever experienced with a vendor from Amazon.  Customer service didn't help either. I called about this problem and they said someone will get back to me within 5-7 business days.  Another week just to find out why I haven't received my magazine.


title: Not what I wanted in a running magazine

text: Although the publication is beautiful and nicely assembled.  The articles are more advanced than I'm ready for.  I would not purchase as a beginning runner.


title: thanks for making renewal easy.

text: My son loves Popular Science, thanks for making renewal easy.


title: Sophisticated magazine

text: I like the articles and clothing suggestions. I'm getting too old for muscle mags!


title: Read Wise

text: Love this magazine!


title: Only do regular subscriptions like this - NOT special 2 for 1, etc

text: Great info and bullets of info vs. lengthy articles. However, only gave one star because I wanted people to know that they'll never see the 2nd subscription if they do that.  I've done it twice.  I'm an optimist....and a fool :)


title: One Star

text: Not too relive the to my travel needs.


title: Well Reserched and thoughtful

text: Barron's is primarily a financial/investment publication but also includes other topics. There articles are generally well researched and thoughtful with a conservative slant. which is a nice break from the mass media.


title: more expensive than direct subscription

text: Go to McSweeney's own site and get a lower subscription price, without any sale or combo applied. This is ridiculous.


title: Best recipes

text: This has the best recipes


title: O

text: I love this magazine and the price.


title: Beautiful magazine

text: This is a lovely magazine.


title: Looking forward to more..

text: Great reading...


title: A Must For Young Ladies!

text: This is the BEST magazine for a young lady! I got a subscription for my 11-year old and she can't wait to receive each issue! This magazine is 'chock full' of relevant issues, articles & stories that young ladies today will not only want to read and be able to relate to but will want to talk to YOU about! How awesome is that?! And on top of that it's got the backing of Cymphonique and Allisyn Arm; two lovely young ladies that if you don't already know about, your daughters definitely do! Just ask! This magazine will inspire your daughters to embrace their uniqueness and empower them to be the best version of themselves! Check out the BYOU website: beyourownyou.com. My daughter loves wearing her BYOU gear to school...where Debra Gano, CEO will go and speak at! Debra is not just beautiful on the outside. She's ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS on the inside too!


title: Too much of one ideology instead of various views on economics, news, and business

text:
I know that this review is probably going to be rated as not being helpful.  However, I think it is important to plainly state my view.

I have really enjoyed The Economist whenever I bought it at a newstand or picked it out of the flight selections.  So, I finally went ahead and purchased a subscription.  At first I enjoyed the intellectual exercise of looking at world events from fresh points of view, however, after reading several issues I began to see a dissapointingly consistent bias.

I think the reviewers that note that the magazine is "fair and balanced" are guilty of wishful thinking.  The "world view" of the writers can accurately be described as "secular humanist".

It began to bother me that the magazine tries to make it appear that they are untethered from bias and prejudice.  Every author (or human being for that matter) has a world view shaped by life experience, educational influences, and ideology.  It is absurd and disingenuous to say that we are above our individual biases, and that our thoughts do not come from a particular viewpoint.  I began to want to know who wrote the individual articles, so that I could avoid the articles by authors that I found to be so biased that they were boorish.

Ultimately I enjoy some aspects of the magazine, just as one would enjoy an unusual dinner guest.  But people begin to get tired of a interesting dinner guest that overstays their welcome.

The Economist is good for a read once in a while unless you share their ideology enough to withstand the consistent push of the secular humanist world view.

text: bigger print is excellent. easy on the eyes makes you feel like reading again


title: Great Price

text: Very good quality


title: Full of advertisement

text: I always love National Geographic, so I expected this kid magazine to be as good as the adult magazine. However, I was disappointed with it that provides limited helpful content but plenty of advertisement. It is sad that the publisher tries so hard to advertise stuffs rather than provide good knowledge to young mind. I will cancel this subscription.


title: GREAT PRICE!!

text: Hooray fro IN Style in their price point it appeals to us college student on a very limited budget while paying for school


title: Aweful

text: It automatically resubscribes you and you can't get out of the loop they put you in very frustrating


title: Great recipes in there!

text: I look forward to this magazine each month. Some of my best recipes are from Allrecipe.


title: Good content but late delivery

text: We very much like the content of this magazine but it is delivered late last time and this month as well. Maybe it is the post office but it might be a distribution issue


title: Some great home projects!

text: Nothing I didn't like. Potential projects I would like to do with my grandson if ever I can find the time to do so.


title: Great Resource

text: This magazine is so good and has so much info and great recipes that it is like getting a new cookbook every 6 weeks or so. I like it so much that I wanted my daughter-in-law to have it so I ordered it here through Amazon.com for her for her birthday.
