title: I USED to Love this Magazine Up Until About A Year Ago Now It Looks Like!

text: Geez, what is going on with the fashion/beauty mags?!?  I used to love them all and now I'm thinking of canceling my subscriptions to all of them (this mag, Vogue, Allure, Marie Claire, Elle and eve Cosmo!....)  They were just mags to read to forget what was going on in "real" life and wonder in the halls of make believe!  To see the fashion and beauty articles and all the fantasy and mindless glamorous stuff! Now they are going woke, political and newsy - too newsy in my opinion...if I wanted that stuff, I would be reading the mags that are for that genre (i.e. Time, New Yorker.....).  FASHION magazines are that and should be about Fashion and beauty and stick to it! Not tell me how my views should be...


title: ALLURE - A Forever LOVE!!!!

text: My utmost favorite style magazine for years!  I love that it's straight to the point on style info. and diverse products: skin, hair, nails etc. And, love that it covers different age groups!  One of the exact reasons why I have been getting for years: starting getting it in my late teens back in the 1980's/1990's and now in 40's I still get it!  I love and respect who their cover features are (nice to see celebs that are in their 40's as their cover feature!).  I do have to say that I miss the heyday of seeing the models on the covers though (i.e. Christy Turlington, Linda Evanglista, Cindy Crawford et al.). I would recommend Allure to anyone who wants to get straight up info. on the what's new in beauty products etc., as well as,what's still as good today as yesterday.Love the timeline feature they always do too (Allure readers know what I mean!).  As long as Allure stays the way they are, I will keep subscribing to this magazine forever!!!


title: best magazine

text: a must have to mom's with children. great craft ideas, cooking with kid ideas, review of games and books. just a great magazine


title: One Star

text: I dislike paper magazine.


title: Ships fast, good read

text: While I read most of the articles in their newsletters and on Facebook before the issue arrived, I did find some interesting things to look at in it, so any problems are at my end.


title: No real interest for a lay person. I would never subscribe to it.

text: mostly ads and information only of interest to a CEO ( perhaps ).


title: Great entre into world of Technology

text:
Thank you for making it soooo available to me at nice consideration pricewise.
And, Great entre into world of Technology especially if like me over 50 and not done yet!

title: Not detailed and creative.

text: As a business major, this is the best subscription. It’s great fro writing papers on current news and topics.


title: Great gift

text: Who doesn't love a good magazine? What about a Great magazine at an even greater price? Why buy subscriptions any place else? The prices make them affordable, you can manage them from your account, and it's easy to communicate with the distributors if there are any hiccups in delivery.


title: Needs to arrive on time

text:
Read the first issue cover to cover. Great content about wine.
First issue came a month late. Right now it looks like the second issue will also.
First issue came pretty well beat up. Needs a plastic shipping sleeve.
Love the magazine, good writing great photos.


title: Wtf

text: Wasn’t told sports illustrated went out of business


title: I Love Opening Every Month

text: I don't really do real books or magazines anymore, except this one. It inspires me to open my cupboards and bake or cook. I look forward to getting it the mail.

text: I thought I'd just try it out for awhile, but I think I'm hooked & will have to renew when the time comes.


title: Amazing

text: It's amazing.


title: Best boating magazine for the money.

text: Good Old Boat is the only magazine that gives us average sailors what we need and want to know.  We're not rich and will never go to some tropical,island unless we're on a cruise boat.  Just help us keep our old boat running and fill us in on places we can actually afford to go,to.  I've had about every boating magazine and this is the best without filling up with advertising .


title: Only got 2 issues in 2020

text: I don't know if it's due to Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, but I only received 2 issues in 2020.


title: Love my RD

text: Love the large print. Have got it now for several years.  Even though I can still read the regular print this is much easier on aging eyes :)


title: Great price. Love this magazine

text: Great price.  Love this magazine.


title: Brings Back Pleasant Memories

text: We enjoy having this around the house. It's fun to browse through while relaxing.


title: For my sport lovin husband

text: My husband has always loved Sports Illustrated so I renewed his subscription. It's the best sports magazine according to him.


title: Great Magazine.

text: I found this at the Salon and knew I had to get a subscription.  Love it and I have not been disappointed.


title: Five Stars

text: I look forward to this magazine every month.  I have bought it off the rack many times.


title: Five Stars

text: Love  it.


title: Vanity Fair is my favorite magazine

text: Vanity Fair offers current, thought provoking articles as well as fashion, art and entertainment news.  I recommend it highly.  I particularly like that I can view the issue on my iPad or in print.


title: A quality publication

text: The quality of this magazine continues to amaze me.  I read every issue with anticipation.


title: Five Stars

text: Good articles


title: Five Stars

text: Very good articles


title: No magazine

text: I placed my order on 2/29 and read that the magazine woul darrive in April. After calling today to find out where the magazine is and after spending 20 minuted with 3 differrent departments, I was told that it would not be delivered until June. I cancelled my order, will buy this month's issue on the newstand and will subscribe to the magazine with someone else. This is the first and last time I will use Amazon for subscriptions.


title: Great magazine!

text: We love this magazine!  We live in a very rural area and having this magazine allows us to stay current with our rodeo friends!  Love this!


title: Every down to earth magazine with good articles

text: Simply put, I can immerse myself into the stories of motivation, productivity and advice.  Every down to earth no BS information.  The only drawback I would see is too much advertising.


title: I cancelled my subscription years ago when they changed the ...

text: I cancelled my subscription years ago when they changed the formate and eliminated daytime scheduling.  I STILL miss it and wish TV Guide would bring it back.  If not daily then at least for holidays when regular programming is not available.


title: Five Stars

text: I love the science in National Geographic no matter the subject. The photography is always spectacular.


title: Not for android cell phones

text: I bought this believe in that I could view it on my android cell phone Samsung S4, but found out that it only worked on android tablets.


title: Good magazine

text: I like all the photos!


title: Great article content and plenty of it.

text: Love this magazine. Best price at Amazon but go back in and cancel auto renewal or next year your charged full price. Little thin in winter but love the garden profiles, blueprints and how they name all the plants if you see one you like. They also have interesting specific garden types like how to do rain garden. Loved that one! Good ratio of articles to advertising as well.

title: Country Living isn't what it used to be!

text: I have lived on a farm for the last 23 years and this magazine has nothing to do with real honest-to-goodness country living. I recently accepted an offer for a free trial issue of Country Living. I grew up on a farm and my mom always had an issue of Country Living next to her chair. We savored and saved our favorite issues. They were a visual feast for the eyes with glossy full page photos of the loveliest of country homes and gardens to drool over. When I had kids I quit subscribing because I didn't have time to look at magazines anymore.<br /> I anticipated my first issue of Country Living in many years with these memories in mind. Not only did a bill arrive a month before my first issue, I was confused when it finally did arrive. Surely this wasn't Country Living magazine? I  double checked the cover, and it said Country Living but it did not resemble the magazine I remember at all. There were ads, ads, and...more ads!! Some of them 3 or 4 pages long with maybe a page of content sandwiched in between. And where were the beautiful homes. antiques, quilts, and gardens?? There were tons of tiny pictures of product lists crammed on almost every page with numbers and arrows pointing to stuff, stuff, and more stuff. The relaxing hour I had planned perusing my new magazine was ruined. I had a headache and the pictures were busily swimming before my eyes. Sadly, I will not be subscribing to the new "faux" Country Living magazine. I'll prefer the real thing!


title: Five Stars

text: I bought this for my 87-year-old husband, and he's really enjoying it!


title: HGTV Magazine

text: HGTV Magazine has exceeded my expectations.  It is packed full of ideas and information and I am very pleased with its contents.


title: Need it sent in english

text: Wanted English version


title: good deal, but very slow...

text: It's a great magazine, and a good price, but after you purchase, you are notified that it could take up to 3 months for the subscription to get processed!


title: Five Stars

text: i love this....don't pay too much attention to the perfect poses but I love the intent of the magazine.


title: A Must for any general music teacher!!!!!!!

text:
This is the best possible magazine especially for teachers on a budget. I am an elementary music teacher for grades K-4 and I have recently discovered this terrific magazine. It has quality sheet music in it along with a performance and accompaniment cd. With the purchase you have the right to copy the songs as you please. There are also many tips, activities, and worksheets for your students on various musical subjects. For a little extra you could order student reproducible parts.I believe that you can run a music program with just this magazine if you had to. The songs on the cd's are of the highest quality and with great instrumentation (without the cheese-factor). If you don't have an accompanist for a concert this would help. The price hardly fits this gem of a magazine!!!

title: Perfect for little hands

text: This is the perfect magazine for toddlers.  The pages are rip proof!  Easy to wipe clean!


title: Five Stars

text: Great book & service!


title: Wouldn’t subscribe again

text: Very repetitive. Not enough variety!


title: Underwshelming

text: Articles not interesting.  Boring and bland.


title: Great magazine at a great price!

text: As a culinary student, this magazine is a must-have for me.  Great subscription price with an Amazon guarantee - you can't go wrong.  Saveur offers those with an interest in the culinary arts a taste of dishes from all around the globe.  Great writers, great articles and glossy print-paper make this a good bargain as well.  There's also very nice artwork and photography to complement the substantive writing, too.


title: Ads galore!!

text: I purchased this magazine for my granddaughter...... somewhat disappointed in the over abundance of ads.  Every other page is an ad.


title: Print too small

text: The print is too small even reading it with glasses. So needless to say I’m disappointed!


title: Food & Wine Magazine

text:
I love it.  I have been very surprised at the recipes.

I frequently attend gourmet cooking classes and have found F&W's recipes to be right in line with our desire for forward food.

Not only are the recipes fairly easy for today's cooks, but there is a good variety including foods of many ethnicities.


title: Love this magazine!

text: As a 39 year old looking ahead to 40, I thought I would check this out. Love it!  Great concise articles. Inspirational. Realistic. Practical advice.


title: Worth the money!

text: I loved the magazine. I subscribed in the 6 month $5 subscription and received the printed magazines as well as digital version. But I also received many emails (sometimes too many) with interesting articles and what is more ... summer challenge that has lots of great exercise ideas that one can do without having access to the gym! Definitely well spent $5.


title: Two Stars

text: Had a lot of delivery problems, I will not renew again


title: great magazine for 360 fans

text: What's not to like ,bought this for my kid half price on Amazon after making other game purchases.For a little over a dollar a month you can see info on upcoming product and maybe save a little by making a more informed buy on your next game,plus so far it's had some kind of demo disc with it each month ,these are worth the price alone!

title: Worthless

text: Doenst have local programming.  What's the use???


title: Consumer reports

text: Great.,great great great great great great great great great great. Real great, Super great, wonderful, I really like the magazine.


title: Inconsistent deliveries

text: This magazine was promised to  deliver its monthly issues. Since Sept 2018, I only received 2 mags. Today is already the 4th of of March 2019.


title: Three Stars

text: Lots of ads


title: Reader's Digest Large Print

text: Ordered this for my elderly aunt who has macular degeneration and other eye issues.  She was an avid reader and was so excited to have something to read that she didn't have to use a magnifying glass.


title: Only ever received 1 of the 3 issues in the subscription

text: Not taking issue with the magazine itself, but I only ever received 1 of the 3 issues and this is becoming a common problem with Amazon magazine subs. Of course you can't talk to anyone or get the issue replaced, so I won't be continuing with this one. if you love the magazine, consider paying the cover price or finding it elsewhere.


title: Love Real Simple

text: Perfect price. Great read.


title: Good for Italian readers

text: This magazines is excellent if you want to explore Abruzzo. The magazine is in Italian.


title: This is another magazine I purchased for my husband and ...

text: This is another magazine I purchased for my husband and he is enjoying it.  I have only skimmed through it but have not really read it yet.  My husband will bring something to my attention when he is looking and reading an article so I know he's liking what he's viewing.


title: How families have inherited their farms and what each day might be like for them.

text: Actually, I subscribed to this magazine for my husband to get him into reading something again.  He loves driving around the countryside so I thought this magazine would be an interesting read with pictures and stories of various families.  He is enjoying it, but I am also.  I've seen recipes which are very interesting sounding to me though I haven't made them yet.  We are elderly so magazines such as this are really what we need so we can read what families do to make their living, etc.


title: Two Stars

text: Its an ok mag.


title: Good magazine, but long, long delay to receive.

text: Discover is an excellent magazine, but there's no reasonable excuse for it to take so long to receive the first issue.


title: Great magazine

text: Easy to follow, great suggestions.


title: Nice Hat

text: magazine finally arrived. Love the hat.


title: The old tv guides were  better

text: The TV listing stops at 11pm and it doesn't  list cable channels won't buy again I found it to be useless  for the stations  I was interested  in.


title: I wouldn’t go for this one

text: Subscription took four months to come, then I couldn’t cancel when my issues were out of date. Very unsatisfied with my experience with this product.


title: For pleasure viewing

text: I've been reading this magazine for many, many years, the photography is beautiful, the glossy, heavy paper pages enhance it, the articles and descriptions are always tops, and looking at these beautiful homes is inspiring.  I'll never have a home like these, but somehow it doesn't matter to just be able to look.  These homes are timeless.


title: Getting better all the time!

text: I've subscribed to this magazine for many years (living in the South), but it had become a bit stale.  I still kept getting it, and am happy to say that the old magazine is still there, but with new and great features now that keep me reading it as soon as it arrives.  And of course the recipes are still the tops.


title: Helpful read

text: This standard women's magazine has given me pleasure for many years, perhaps because it continues to update its articles with the latest information. I've used the advice I've picked up from the magazine over and over, and have found it to be most useful.  If you like a good magazine for its short but informative articles on any/every subject, do try Good Housekeeping.


title: I was not impressed.

text: The magazine is 1/2 the size it used to be and far too many pages of advertisements.


title: The best reading. Period.

text: Since I was a little girl my parents purchased a subscription to Reader's Digest.  The whole family read it, at one point or another.  Mind you, we were a family of 8. Mother, Father and six siblings.  I continue to find the topics interesting, factual,  informative and easy to read.  I find it to be the best magazine around.


title: One Star

text: It's all ads and I toss it out without even taking the cellophane off


title: Good for those trying to eat healthy

text: Healthy recipes


title: Homebrew necessity

text: My only real complaint is they're not monthly issues. Zymurgy is very informative and relevant for every homebrewer whether you brew solo like me or in clubs and like to compete. Highly recommended.


title: Warning - automatically renews at 3x higher rate with no notice and no way to cancel - ever.

text: Warning - This automatically renews, without warning or notice and at a rate that is 3x current pricing. Cancelling is not apparent and you need to google the step-by-step instructions to request a cancellation and then wait to see if it got done.


title: best veg mag there is!

text: This magazine never ceases to amaze me! [[ASIN:B0000AFQRG VegNews]]This magazine is well worth the money for all you get. I can't be without it.


Few more ads inside than I expected. A couple articles are dull but still interesting. Got a really good deal of the day on it so made it worth it.


title: Amazon Magazine Subscription STINKS!!!

text:
wanted to renew my subscription. clicked renew and thought i was done. but no, amazon treated it as a NEW subscription, so i am now getting two of the same magazine. emailed them several times and their answer is "we'll investigate". ok. in the meantime, amazon is fantastic at a great many things, but magazine subscriptions are NOT one of them. avoid at all costs.

incidentally, mountain bike action is one of the best mags on the market.


title: Nice to Have!

text: Very informative about Golf Celebrities as well as Golf Equipment. Inaddition good articles about improving your Golf Game.


title: Changed a lot over the years

text: I stopped my subscription because the magazine has changed a lot through the years.  Not enough hikes, backpacking information.  Too many adds, bizarre contests, not enough content.


Luv it! I look forward to receiving each issue. The magazine has great covers and great information on dogs inside. I have been a subscriber for over 5 years.


title: Dissapointed

text: They have strayed far for their beginnings and are now doing projects that are far out of reach for the average joe ! I still have great respect for all the craftsman and do watch the show, but for me the magazine has nothing of interest. I will not be renewing.

text: Love this mag !

text: This was given as a gift but he loves it!


title: great mag for the price

text: Keep updated on the latest camera news for a very fair price. Without the instant renewals.


title: Being simple is a lot of work . . .

text: I'll admit it -- I buy every issue of this magazine. The title, however, always calls up a wry grin. The simple lifestyle the book advocates isn't all that easy! To achieve it you'll have to go buy the materials for the magazine's simplifying project, then re-arrange your house so you have a place to work on the project (which naturally requires purchasing even more things) and then finally you'll have to find the time to actually complete the project. Of course, to find the time you'll have to buy a new wall calendar and clock and Rolodex. I think the magazine has hit the American pluse on the button -- spend limited money and time to help better organize limited money and time, all while reminding yourself how beneficial and FUN all this work is. Oh, and don't forget to turn your repeated shopping trips to Target into "quality time" with your two-year-old in the process. So what do I do with the magazine? I'll go home after a tough day at work, and enjoy a cup of off-the-shelf non... Read more


title: Must have reading

text: Great magazine one of the few that I buy has great views on product and great articles, always renewing my subscriptions


title: Handy magazine

text: My brother-in-law recommended this magazine and I love it.  All kinds of worthwhile projects in each issue.  I wish I had known about it sooner.


title: Magazine with grace and elegance

text: I am a huge fan of the magazine, I love reading the articles and the passion for charming homes and gardens. I truly appreciate reading this magazine and glad the few magazine that explores such topic still exist. Thank you, Bliss Victoria!

title: A Real Keeper!

text: Really enjoy the Magnolia Journal. The info on Chip & Jo and all the terrific ideas.


title: Not worth the price of a 1 year subcription renewal; i can live without it

text: Although Sports Illustrated is an interesting magazine, there is no way I see myself renewing even a one year subscription at well over $100.00. There are other potential magazine subscriptions as well other purchase priorities I favor way over this magazine.


title: My Guide to Purchases

text: Just really like this magazine was a subscriber already and chose to go thru amazon for renewal. Really helps in purchases especially electronics, I do wish when reviewing televisions they would review more like Vizio and ones form stores such as Sams club were hard to find reviews!! Good magazine I recommend.

text: got it for the "insider". magazine is a bonus


title: Best Aviation New Magazine!!

text: I saw this on base on the magazine shelf in the BX (Base Exchange) on Ramstein AB Germany, so I thought why not.  I bought it and was very impressed by the layout:  News on aircraft/airlines around the world, great articles, airline reviews on various routes, history, hearing about airlines I haven't heard of, then the ads in the back, and other items of interest.  The pictures and articles are very well balanced in this magazine.  I've been a subscriber for nearly 3 years now, and will most likely renew a again.  Contacting them to hold my subscription when I PCSed (or moved to you in the civilian world), they stopped mailing for the time and contacted them with my new address with no problems.  Overall, a good experience!!

text: Love hate relationship with this magazine.  love because its the only motorhome magazine on the market that I have been able to find.  hate that it isn't very critical of products they review.  they seem to repeat whats in the products ads.  and everything that's made in the rv industry works as advertised and is great!  seems you cant go wrong buying any rv product!  wish it were more on the line of consumer reports where they weren't afraid to be critical and recommend "don't buy".

title: Five Stars

text: always read


title: Great little magazine

text: Nice publication about the Blueridge area


title: Three Stars

text: just okay


title: Good variety of articles

text: After one year of subscribing, I recommend Harper's and recently re-upped for two years. I would agree with some reviews that say the writing is uneven, maybe not in quality always - the nature of the magazine is a variety of articles covering a broad range of topics, some of which I don't always read. At the same time, this is what I enjoy about the magazine: it's an interesting mix of articles and ideas that I haven't found anywhere else. I read magazines to get away from the computer and Harper's presents a broad range of ideas to keep me interested. The fiction and poetry is excellent. Artwork is scattered in the magazine that is also interesting. Others have mentioned the 'Harper's Index' and 'Findings' sections which are collections of statistics and recent research findings that are particularly entertaining for quick perusal. I also read the New Yorker, Atlantic, and Mother Jones and find Harper's fits nicely with these as it comprises many ideas to think upon (as a Swedish friend phrases it).


title: good combination of topics

text: this magazine is a good combination of the latest in science, technology (computers, electronics), automotive.. the breadth of coverage is vast.. very interesting and useful information for the whole family! total bang for the buck!


title: Some of the articles are pretty deep but still worth it.

text: I've subscribed for years. The gold box price is better than I've seen elsewhere. I'm pretty up on tech stuff, but some of the articles go over my head. The articles have a bit of edge at times, but that's not necessarily bad. They will outline products that you won't find in mainline PC magazines, and give some deeper tips not seen elsewhere. I've never built a computer and am not a gamer, but knowing what the cutting edge is helps me put the mainline products in perspective. If you do build computers, put in a lot of improvements, or do a lot of gaming, this magazine is for you. For non-gamers/less intense people, there are also columns like on privacy, articles on windows tips and multimedia, reviews on software/hardware (although as commented on earlier, they do have more ads it seems in the magazine and their website has more reviews). Worth the price to try today for a year.


title: Skip the plus level

text: I've subscribed to GH for several years. I like the magazine, so the most recent time I renewed at the plus level, because they dangle the possibility of being a product tester as a perk. I have since registered to receive product testing opportunities and received multiple surveys to apply to test everything from cleaning supplies to snacks. I have never once been included in a test. Apparently they're not interested in middle-age testers without grandchildren. Short of lying to be part of a more desirable demographic, I don't seem to have an opinion worth valuing. Stupidly, I renewed at this level for two years. Don't make the same mistake if you don't have children or grandchildren.


title: It's becoming a Christian-focused magazine

text: My mom used to read this magazine, and I got a subscription as a bonus when I ordered another publication. I noticed there was a Bible verse in the front of the mag, which seemed odd for a women's general interest publication, but whatever, the rest of the content seemed unbiased. But I just flipped open the July/August issue and saw a new "spiritual adviser" column in which the "spiritual" equals Christianity, including hawking a Christian T-shirt. Guess this magazine is transitioning into a Christian publication not geared toward those of other belief systems. Certainly their right, but since it's not welcoming to the rest of us, I'll let my subscription expire.

text: TV Guide - the only magazine my family and I need for accurate listings, lively articles and the latest inside information on all-things television!

title: My daughter was gifted a subscription through an elementary school ...

text: My daughter was gifted a subscription through an elementary school fundraiser. The first issue received happened to be March/April 2016, the witch issue. The neo-pagan content is not appropriate for children of any age. I am appalled that such content is being pandered to impressionable minds.<br />Subscription cancelled.

title: Always exciting to read

text: My husband and dad love the articles and tips in your magazine! Keep it up!


title: Pretty good magazine.

text:
The magazine isn't the best out there, but is far from the worst.  I enjoy reading it as it keeps me fairly up to date on the newest products coming out.

If you are interested in subscribing, I'd suggest going directly through the publisher, as they charge just over half the going rate here for a year subscription.  I recently resubscribed to the magazine, as I had found an incredible deal through a subscription card found in the magazine; 3-years for the price of 1.  Go raid your local book store or news stand and see if you can find one of these cards!


title: No Go

text: 75% of this magazine is advertisements.


title: Go Places! Love this Magezine!

text: Manifest and explore! This is one of my favorites for liesure time and learning about where I plan to go..also for my vision board :) so yessss!


title: Lots of informative reading.

text: There are helpful articles and ideas. I like the coupons and fragrance samples. The cover as well as pictures inside the magazine are bright & colorful, brightens your day.


title: Five Stars

text: I like the magazine.


title: Free press?!?!

text:
I respected this magazine for awhile.
But this is a last straw.
Lying and cheating is not the way to keep readership!!!!
CANCELED.


title: great

text: great magazine for any designer out there!  great info on upcoming design events, contests, and also lets you know what is going on in the big world around you involving design.  pick it up if you are serious about design


title: Amazon Makes it Easy

text: What can I say. It is Star Magazine.


title: Love it.

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for close to over 14 years.  I look forward to every issue in my mail box.


title: Very Good

text: Its an ok magazine.  It helps with ideas for places to visit.  Unfortunately they only highlight to most pricey places to stay when you go somewhere.  If you are traveling on a budget this is not the magazine for you.


title: Friday October 4, 2013 by 8:00pm  is my delivery date?

text: Honestly look at the delivery date! October 4th 2013!! Does that make any sense at all? Its completely unacceptable! If I could give out  a negative star i would!  I give this whole shame 4 black holes!


title: Plan on subscription renewing without notification.

text: This mag was a one-year gift for my sister.  She loves it.  However, it was renewed without notification.


title: Good, but used to be great.

text: I agree with other reviews that this mag used to be great!  circa 2006 I would anticipate the arrival of each issue--each having great instructions for diy projects.  Now it just seems like a mishmash of slightly-too-hipster articles of recipes and travel guides.  It would be lucky to find one quality instructional project in each issue.  I keep every issue of this magazine and the older ones have many tabs, but recently, there is no reason to catalog them.  Skip the subscription and order back issues instead.


title: Awesome, this magazine inspires my life

text: I travel a lot from the west coast to the east coast so it is quite a long flight, I bring along my Oprah magazine every trip and enjoy devouring the entire thing.  When I get there I give it to my family there to enjoy as well.<br />  When I'm in a rut on certain situations there are always uplifting articles to help me find a positive spin, or even just to accept that life is tough!  But along with others support and insight that I am not alone, I realize I'm tougher!


title: Five Stars

text: Great!!


title: Best motorcycle magazine there is

text: Simple, no advertising, technical, with real, valuable information and no filler like other bike magazines. This magazine is so far beyond every other bike mag, if I could only get one of them, this would be it. My favorite magazine of ANY type.


title: I consider anything with the name "National Geographic" not worth ...

text: I consider anything with the name "National Geographic" not worth my time or money.  By carrying and defending Cesar Millan, National Geogrphic has proven that they are only out for ratings and sales.  They care nothing about the science of  behavior.  How can anybody take this publication seriously.  Such a joke.  I have to wonder, how much research do they really do?


title: All ads and unrealistic decor.

text: The first 20 pages of the magazine are all ads for unrelated brands. The decor is all luxury, overly staged, not realistic for like an average family home. It’s like it was made for the Kardashians. Won’t be subscribing again.


title: The BEST!

text: Love Sunset magazine!


title: It's a Must

text: If you collect Paper Money, this is the bible, with monthly price guides for most grades of all US currency.  A great value!


title: Great for Clothes and Beauty advice

text: Great for girls who are into beauty and clothes but not into crazy high fashion like teen vogue is. Also mixes in some good celeb gossip!


title: Great content for sports oriented person.

text: Given as Christmas present. They arrive quick on time and has great content for sport oriented young adult.


title: Five Stars

text: Cool stuff in the magazine. Has a lot of interesting articles.


title: Two Stars

text: not worth the bargain and they end up charging you a higher rate.


title: Old Friends

text: My family has enjoyed this magazine for years.  I agree that the solicitations for renewal are overkill and addressed this concern by having my mother's subscription sent to me.  The beautiful photography is a joy for Mom now that dementia has limited her ability to read. Other magazines are often tossed in the trash, but Birds and Blooms is enjoyed by three generations until the pages are worn.  It's great to have a magazine that focuses on something positive.  Birds and Blooms is a feast for the eyes and a celebration of the beauty that surrounds us. It's as if an old friend has stopped in for a visit when Birds and Blooms arrives in the mail.


title: Great info. Saw it at my vet's office and ...

text: Luv it. Great info. Saw it at my vet's office and wanted my own


title: Love this magazine!!!

text: Includes the most interesting and well written articles about an area that I love!!!


title: Interesting magazine, fun projects, good for the whole family

text: I got a subscription for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. So do the kids. They debate over who gets to have possession of the magazine when it comes.


title: Great Magazine

text: My favorite magazine.  It is practical and fun.


title: Food

text: Unless you are into 'health food' and have in your pantry lots of 'stuff' the average everyday cook would not have, you will be disappointed. I saw a few recipes that caught my interest until I read the ingredients, and in some cases have never heard of some of them, much less use them. I'm sure some cooks would like this magazine, but I like simple cooking, that can be kicked up a notch with common ingredients.  Gary R Patterson


title: Nicely Covered

text: Good quality


title: Not worth the wait

text: The first issue came on time but we have been waiting for a month for the second issue and it's not just this magazine. We also ordered a boy one and same thing. We won't be ordering magazines again.


title: Needs improvement.

text: Neither the pictures nor the advice is all that great.  I'm a professional wildlife photographer, and I haven't learned anything new.


title: Hiker's magazine

text: Love this magazine.


title: like the art world itself

text: It's become sort of "Art-Forum-Light."  The focus has become, like the art world itself, trivialized and commercial, to a fault.  I will probably not renew this.


title: The excitement of the children to learn new things around them.

text:
I liked getting the books, because it was a rather long wait, from July 2018, we finally got them.
Having our own copy is such a blessing.
Waiting too long to get the books, was a little too much.


title: Nice

text: Nice magazine , reminds me of my childhood reading my Dad's....  Could not pass up the price point here on amazon.


title: Only received 3 of 12

text: I'll NEVER buy another mag subscription again.


title: Five Stars

text: Son in law is into cars and loves this magazine.


title: Quality journalism at an affordable price

text: Still the best American News Magazine there ever was.  Conservatives hate it because it exposes their propaganda and agitation machines, but it reports facts not foxts.  I have read it many times in my life but I decided to subscribe to the print version so my kids could get exposed to quality journalism instead of rightie fakenews on reddit.


title: Five Stars

text: my little girl loves this


title: Highlights is great!

text: Highlights is a great magazine for kids.  It has riddles, art, poems, stories and crafts, all done by kids for kids.


title: Have always loved the inspiration of this magazine.

text: The heart felt stories.


title: my weekly second hand new yorker

text: What I do not get about my print edition is that it comes completely unprotected (no plastic cover) - so- ahem- it is all pretty "zero waste" and nature loving, ok, but every time it just  looks like someone has read it before me!, with stains on pages and such. funny


title: the magazine is ok. the bag was cheap - ...

text: the magazine is ok.  the bag was cheap - I threw it out.


title: My Lifelong Car Mag Buddy

text: I started reading Autoweek when it was called Competition Press, in 1963.  It was a newspaper then and only reported road racing news.  No NASCAR, no Indy cars, no drag racing.  Then it became Competition Press & Autoweek with some industry news after the racing.  Finally it converted to a magazine format and dropped CP becoming Autoweek.  And it was weekly.  So I am a total fan.  I devour it as quickly as I did when I was 14.  One treat is the classifieds which are way smaller now due to the 'net, but still interesting.  No extensive road tests, but lots of reviews and long-term test articles.  If you like cars, racing, and auto shows definitely get it.


title: Three Stars

text: Typeface so small can't read many articles.


I have been subscribing to Gray's for years.  It's a great magazine with excellent photography and stories.  What else is there to say.


title: Recipes are great

text: Great information plenty of recipes and articles


title: Step by Step Wire Jewelry

text: There isn't much volume to this magazine - not too many pages.  Some fun projects but it would be great if there were more articles and instructions.


title: Be prepared to wait

text: I ordered this subscription just before Christmas as a gift. Unfortunatly the reciever didn't get her first issue until March. Be prepared to wait. Now that it's started it has been coming regularly and it is a fun puzzle book that's not too easy and not too hard.


title: Monthly Inspiration

text:
As expected, each issue of Gourmet is bursting with delicious recipes. What may come as a surprise to those unfamiliar with the magazine is that most of the dishes can be prepared in 30 minutes of less, and a large portion are vegeterian.

Some recipes are quite healthy; others not so. Unfortunately, nutritional information is not included to help you tell the difference. Still, Gourmet is worth purchasing for the inspiration it will bring to your kitchen. You can always do a bit of ingredient substitution if necessary.

While Gourmet has more recipes than anything else, its articles also let you experience food through travel, interviews with famous chefs, useful kitchen gadets, and more. This magazine is not just about good food, but about "good living." The editors of Gourmet also publish cookbooks that are praised by critics and readers alike.


title: For the hard core shopper!!!

text:
Don't even think about this magazine unless you are into shopping!!! I thought I had everything I needed until I peeked into Lucky one day.
The magazine scours the globe to find great items from clothing and accessories to cosmetics to housewares and so forth. They even listed sites for locating old-fashioned sweets and soda (great gift for a parent or grandparent)!
Each month features a different city in the world and the great shops recommended. Addresses and websites are also included in case you fall in love with something pictured.
One of my favorite features of Lucky is the page with all of the stickers. They are divided into Yes! and Maybe?. You simply peel them off and attach them to the page you are drooling over. This prevents messy "dog-eared" and lost pages.
One last feature I like is that they offer a toll-free number to call if you are having any difficulty locating items in the magazine. I know I have encountered more than a few headaches in the past trying to locate an item found in a magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: Cant beat the subscription here!


title: Foodie Elitists Rejoice

text: Not the same mag I used to get twenty years ago, and loved. F&W has become so much like a copy of Bon Appetit, which I've never liked: too much travel and foodie gossip and not enough adaptable, home kitchen recipes. F&W has become too elitist in my book.


title: The Magnolia Journal

text: my wife loves it


title: Convenient

text: Thanks for making the process of renewal convenient so I don't miss one of my favorite magazines. I love it!


title: RealSimple

text:
Love this magazine, now my favorite and will not be renewing subscriptions to some other magazines :)
Full of current events,tips,& recipes which appeal to women of all ages which is hard to find in
a magazine. Ordered a Birthday subscription for my daughter-in-law instead of her usual food magazine. Love the price and ease of renewing.


title: Five Stars

text: Loved the price a lways loved the magazine

text: too many ads, not enough useful information.  Its changed in the last few years from helpful DIY tips/life hacks to commercial driven.  I will not renew my subscription.


title: Great magazine!

text: I love Real Simple magazine.


title: Real Simple

text: I like many of the articles and product "bests" and comparisons.  Pictures and content very nice.


title: Pleasent Transaction

text:
I got my magazine in a timely matter, and all was well.  Very Smooth and easy trasation

Thank you!


title: 1 Star Too Many...

text:
By 'Real Simple' I'm assuming they mean simple minded. I've never been quite so enraged by a magazine in my life. In their latest edition, they have a lovely little article about 20 time wasting 'rules' you can break and still love youself in the morning. One of those 'time wasters' was breastfeeding!
Here's what they had to say:
most likely: "In the long run, nothing," says Boris Petrikovsky, chairman of the department of obstetrics-gynecology at Nassau University Medical Center, in East Meadow, New York. When you're bottle-feeding, you know exactly how much food the baby is eating, and Mom may be less tired because Dad has no excuse to sleep through 3 a.m. feedings. "There is also absolutely no conclusive data on breast milk's effects on brain development," adds Petrikovsky.
worst case: "The biggest downside of not breast-feeding is that the mother misses out on some of the bonding," says Petrikovsky. And since breast milk is specially designed to meet the nutritional needs of infants and contains antibodies that help protect them from a variety of illnesses, "babies who are breast-fed are more likely to have a stronger immune system and be sick less than formula-fed infants."
So yeah, if this sounds like something you agree with, be my guest. ...


title: All You

text: I do like this magazine. It has lots of good articles and COUPONS.I have reccomended it and will continue to.

title: Great home design recommendations ... a real good read!

text: Suggestions for design at all price points!


title: Got lots of emails...

text: I love this magazine and bought it as a gift, but I have gotten more emails from signing up for this magazine than it's worth!  I wish my email wouldn't be spread throughout the internet when I purchase things.  Oh well...great price for a great product.


title: Inexpensive

text: Has interesting articles


title: My favorite magazine in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD

text: This is for my wife, and that's what she says. She LOVES this magazine. All of the information is applicable to her life and practical to use. It's just good, she was lost for words when I asked her to explain why it was her favorite magazine in the whole wide world. But she did get out that it was practical and relateable.


title: Real Simple Magazine Review

text: I consider this one of my favorite magazines. As the name implies, the magazine promotes ways to simplify. Each page is a work of art, laid out in a clean, visually appealing style.  Great ideas for organizing, menus, cleaning, makeup and making living less stressful.


title: Enjoyable

text: I look forward to each Real Simple I receive in the mail. From  “Thoughs” to “Real Simple 24/7” to other headings in the contents of this magazine. Each section I enjoy reading and find useful ideas to try. This year 2020 shall be interesting!


title: simply a waste of money--Real simple

text: I was switched from All YOU magazine to this.  Time stopped the ALL you magazine.  Real simple alright, there is nothing in it but ads  Very disappointed!  Now I am trying to get my money back for  a subscription until July 2018 to All you..  The magazine is for those that can barely think.  Sorry what a waste!


title: Hard to cancel subscriptions and not billed price quoted

text: Ordered at a price of five dollars for an  annual subscription special rate and tried cancelling over period of four years.  Was not cancelled and continued to be billed for twenty dollars for each individual magazine.


title: Don't have it yet!

text: I would love to review this magazine if I ever receive it.  It has been a month and a half and I don't have a copy yet.  I did read one in the doctors office and I enjoyed it a lot.  If I don't get a copy soon, I guess I'll have to start going to the doctor each month just to read Real Simple. I can't rate it from my own subscription, but think it will be a good magazine - someday.


title: what's not to like?

text: I love the whole concept of this magazine: how to simplify your life. This magazine always inspires me to enjoy the every day pleasures more and helps me get organized. And unlike other magazines, I find myself actually using the information in the Real Simple articles: what to save and what to throw out when cleaing your closet, tasty simple recipes, how to look fashionable without spending a lot of time on getting dressed. Small changes that can be made in everyday life which make a difference. My only complaint: at times, the magazine is a bit too spiritual for my taste. A great gift for any busy woman!


title: LOVE IT

text:
I love this magazine!!  It is so helpful and useful for all family homes.  It gives you ideas to use stuff around the house to help you organize your home!  The recipes are good and they give a shopping checklist to go to the store and tells you what to buy!  Women - you will love it if you are always looking for ways to make the house better and new recipes!

title: My Favorite Magazine!!

text: After reading my magazines (and I subscribe to at least a dozen) I give them to my husband to take to his office. He told me that Real Simple is the one that his patients prefer.  It also is the one that seems to "disappear".  Overall, I have to agree with his patients. It is my favorite magazine!


title: Upscale, worldly but domestic mag for women

text: I LOVE "Real Simple".  When I was growing up, my mother read "Family Circle" and "Women's Day" -- magazines that seem hopelessly dated.  For me, this is the modern, classy equivalent.  RS offers cleaning tips, decorating tricks, and recipes, but the recipes span American classics and a wide range of ethnic cooking. It provides practical advice that many of us should have learned from our parents but didn't, like how to handle a confrontation or comfort a grieving friend.  The photography is gorgeous and the amount of content has been increasing as the magazine gets to its feet (I've been a subscriber from the first issue).  Sure, some articles are simplistic and naive, but I don't mind paging through them to find the gems.


title: One Star

text: haven't received an issue !


title: Great subjects!

text: Love it.  Very interesting and informative.


title: Real Simple

text: This magazine has really short articles that take no time to read.  It offers lots of valuable information from romance to cleaning a bathroom, to just about anything you can think of.  I love it.


title: Well worth it!

text: Although I have not yet begun to receive the magazine, am very familiar with it ... page for page, one of the best magazine values out there.


title: Simple to renew

text: I love this magazine. I love that it's simple and cheap to renew on Amazon. This is the 3rd or 4th magazine purchase through Amazon and I've been nothing but completely satisfied.


title: read cover to cover each month

text: I've received this magazine for 4 years as a gift subscription and ADORE each publication.  After I have kept each issue for 2 years (re-reading most issues) then I recycle to my employers' breakroom and share.  Stimulates good conversation, promotes better health ideas and even finds the young (meaning the high school age employees)  reading and talking about ideas. Thank-you to all the editors that contribute.


title: Great mom magazine!

text: Love this mag, it's got great articles. Lots of fun do it yourself easy projects.


title: great day at the mailbox

text: I love it when my Real Simple magazine arrives in the mail. It is full of great ideas for cooking, organizing, fashion and crafts.


title: Great Magazine

text: My wife loves this magazine and finds many ideas from it - we will definitely renew our subscription next go around.


title: love it

text: great product great price


title: Real Simple Magazine

text: This is a wonderful magazine, full of good ideas.  I have purchased this mag for many years.  Learned a lot from it and shared them with others.


title: Good Housekeeping

text: I enjoy the magazine very much and after I'm finished reading it, I take it to the nursing home and give it to a lady that has MS...her favorite magazine.


title: Good but not as good as

text:
I enjoy this magazine but it is not the magazine
Of
2005


title: A dream magazine for natural organizers, problem solvers, and keep-it-simple kind of folks

text: The headline says it all!  I don't ordinarily subscribe to magazines, which I find to be rather expensive advertising circulars with little real content, but I am OCD enough to be fascinated by the "tips" and ideas Real Simple offers.


title: Didn’t receive all my magazines

text: Real Simple is a fantastic magazine. This subscription service is terrible. I received the first couple of magazines, moved home and updated my address with the publisher but never saw another magazine. Would give zero stars if possible.


title: Great gift for Mom

text: Bought for my mom and she loves this magazine.


title: Gist for Mom

text: Got this for my mom and she loves it.


title: great magazine

text: articles you can use. love this magazine.  everday help and reciples


title: Three Stars

text: I haven't received any issues.


title: Inspiring

text: Great photography. Great ideas


Cozy and inspirational content; but too content-heavy, not enough pictures. It has way too much text.


title: A calming, informative magazine

text: I look forward to receiving Real Simple every month.  The designers of this magazine keep visual clutter to a minimum, and the content ranges from the practical (choosing the best cell phone plan) to the inspirational (establishing meaningful family traditions).  In each issue, readers share tips on keeping life simple.


title: Not pleased with receiving the Dec. issue on Dec. 27

text: I subscribed to the magazine because I enjoy reading it very much and had purchased and read the Dec. issue.  My subscription was to start in Jan. 2012 and would run through and include Dec. 2012.  I received my 1st issue on Dec. 27th.  This was the "holiday issue" filled with gifts to purchase for Christmas and foods to cook for Christmas.  I felt it was "old" because everything was geared to the buildup for Christmas Day - Dec. 25th.  And I had read the magazine already.  So now I feel I am shorted on my subscription as the one-year would end with the Nov. 2012 issue and not with the Dec. 2012 issue.  Also I do not like the fact that it automatically renews.  If I want to cancel I need to make sure that I remember to track when my subscription ends so I can cancel it.


title: Lovely

text: A gift to myself, really. I spent a gift card on the gift that keeps on giving! It's a great read to get in the mail every month!


title: One of the few magazines I keep and not recycle.

text: Most of the time, I take my magazines to the recycling center after reading them. But, I keep these for future referance. When I find an article I really like, I write the page number on the cover so I can find it quickly. Quaility reading!!


title: I wanted a renewal, not a new subscription!

text: I renewed my Ladies Home Journal for 2 years for a very good price. That much I am very happy about. But, last week I received 2 copies of the January issue. Instead of renewing it was entered as a new subscription. I went online to LHJ so they could fix it. All is well now, but they said I will probably also get 2 of the February issue also. I renewed with you primarily because it said I could get a renewal through you. Oops on your part. LHJ really came through, and straightened it all out and will credit my account accordingly.


title: Perfect

text: Exactly what I want to read to help simplify all aspects of my life.


title: Late Delivery

text:
I purchased this subscription for my wife as a 2012 Christmas gift because she kept buying them off the rack and paying a lot more. Well, lo and behold, that's what they want you to do because the last 4 issues she has received have been a few weeks after they hit news stands. As of right now, in Mid-March, the April edition is already at the supermarket and she has yet to receive it. She loves the magazine, but it's frustrating because typical magazine subscriptions get mailed to subscribers before they hit stands.

I'm not a consipracy theorist, but I am in finance and looking at Time, Inc.'s balance sheet (Real Simple's parent company) leads me to believe this issue of timing is not an error. The company obviously is having issues (like all print-subscription companies). This may in fact be a way to prey on impatient subscribers who don't want to wait 2-3 weeks to receive their issue in the mail, even though they have already paid for the subscription.

When I inquired to Real Simple about the issue, they gave me what was obviously a company issued generic response about not having information about news stand delivery...it sounded like I was not the first to inquire about this due to the lack luster response and overall unwillingness to help.

To any husbands looking to purchase as a gift, make sure your wife has the patience to wait for her monthly issue - otherwise you will be paying for the subscription and paying for it at news stands as well. If you want to avoid any frustration, just reason that having her pay a premium at the news stand is worth the headache saved due to this mess.


title: Very informative

text: I actually read this mag.


title: ... copy of this magazine and a first I was like "yeah whatever"

text: A friend of mine from Seattle showed me her copy of this magazine and a first I was like "yeah whatever". But then I started reading it and found it really wonderful. It's so much more refreshing to read than the others out there that tell us how to please a man, how to lose weight so he will love you and stuff like that. I was tired of all that. I wanted something simple and new. I found it in this magazine. It's real, it's simple and it's fun to read. Period.


title: Two Stars

text: Not much that I enjoy.  Won't renew.

title: Three Stars

title: Good magazine.

text: Good magazine always like it and my wife likes it.

text: I like Real Simple's expansive ideas foe every area of your home. Decor tips are doable, not just an impossible show home ideas. Recipes are, for the most part, a new way of preparing the down to earth everyday food that most of us prepare and eat. I also love all of the tips for organization. The magazine gives me pleasure, ideas, and dreams.


title: Simply Wonderful

text: I LOVE this magazine.  Not only does it provide that best organizational tips but it often has coupons to some of my favorite stores.

text: Great magazine !

title: Where is it?

text: I would review this purchase if only I had begun to get the magazine. Here it is two months later and I have yet to get even one copy of the magazine. Is it any wonder why I didn't get more?


title: Great Magazine

text: I love Real Simple and find it very applicable to my lifestyle. I starting receiving the magazine promptly after ordering it.


title: digital versus non digital....?

text: I love this magazine. I always feel like I've gained personally after reading an issue. Once I got a tablet I was excited to cancel and go to a digital only edition as I have issues with all the trees and my mail lady's bad back. Much to my surprise there is no price difference between a digital and non digital subscription. The Amazon.com rep was able to help me cancel but I had contact Real Simple about changing to a digital only subscription even though I had only dealt with Amazon.com in the past.


title: Great magazine!

text: Loved it. More realistic than other magazines. Has some really good ideas.


title: Every issue taught me something

text: I have liked the magazine for years but never had a subscription before now. I like that Real Simple comes in a protective cover.  Every issue has a theme, and I have learned something from every issue I’ve read.


title: Favorite Magazine!

text: Real Simple truly helps simplify my life.  From there section on "New Uses For Old Things" to their recipes, Real Simple helps me keep my life in order.  I look forward to every issue!


title: Favorite Health Magazine!

text:
I've been reading SELF for years, and it has helped me in so many ways.  Unlike other fitness magazines, it encourages you to be proud of your size and work on getting healthy for YOU, not for the standards of models and actresses.  The workouts are fun, and the tear-out cards are perfect to take the gym!  This magazine is highly optimistic, and their little "Health Flash" and "Happiness Flash" articles every month are perfect to keep by your bedside or at your desk.

I've read both Shape and SELF, and SELF is by far the better one.  Shape is more interested in looking like a glamorous celebrity -- SELF is more interested in looking your personal best and feeling your personal best.


title: Not worth the time to read

text: Not nearly useful enough to justify the time spent reading it.  It seems to be a series of short articles with recipes, household hints, etc.


title: Real SImple Magazine

text: The publication is mostly ads.  Not much substance of any kind.  Would not renew it.


title: the delivery date has been postponed 4 months

text: This magazine has postponed the delivery date 4 months. This is the second time I ordered it, the first subscription from another source, got cancelled by them. The reason I think is that I got it for $5.00 between specials and coupons. I  bet they didn't postpone or cancel the subscribers that paid full price....


title: might enjoy it, if it would show up in my mailbox

text: I was really looking forward to getting this magazine, and at a $5. yearly subscription was REALLY excited....but alas, it is now the end of January and I have not rec'd a magazine yet. I won't order from an Amazon vendor again. The website is hard to navigate to register a complaint and no one seems to care. Good bye $5 parting is such sweet sorrow.


title: Two Stars

text: Too long for the subscription to stRt


title: Been a subscriber since its inaugural issue.

text: I have been a subscriber of Real Simple since its inaugural issue.  I always look forward to reading it as soon as it lands in my mailbox.


title: still waiting for REAL SIMPLE

text: it is hard to review a magazine that STILL has not arrived.purchace was made on november 30th 2009.today is feburary 1 2010.i hope that i don't recieve a bundle of past editions at one time so that they can "catch up".i am trying to be patient...but it's not... REAL SIMPLE!


title: Five Stars

text: A wonderful magazine if you love decorating and interior design. Read it cover to cover.


title: Five Stars

text: If you love English Gardens, this book is eye candy. Can't read it fast enough. Great gardening tips.


title: Four Stars

text: Good information


title: Is a waste of time

text: Ad, ad, and ad...nothing interesting. Is a waste of time...


title: Good Magazine for a great price

text: I ordered this magazine a few months ago when it was on sale for $5 for a one year subscription. Other than that, I would not buy the magazine. I think this is a fairly good magazine with lots of home organization tips and ways to change up your house and declutter ... things I am trying hard to learn.


title: EXCELLENT from cover to cover!!

text: Love Love Love this mag.


title: Good deal!

text: Magazine came every month as expected. It was a great price for an awesome magazine!


title: Love this magazine!

text: Love Real Simple magazine!  It's one of the few  magazines I read cover to cover.  And the best price I've found for it has been on Amazon.com.


title: Real Simple

text: I wasn't as happy  with this magazine  as I thought I would be. I thought that there would  be more articles on home projects.


title: Love this magazine

text: I was kind of upset about the shipping of the magazine. I bought in May 2020 and did not receive until after July. The magazine has a lot of good information in it. I’ve been a subscriber for over four years.


title: great articles

text: loved it


title: Great Read!

text: Love this magazine!


title: Great magazine

text: I got a great deal on a year subscription for $5. Real Simple is a great magazine and looks great if you like to display magazines.


title: Beautiful, but not always easy to adapt to my life

text:
I really enjoy this magazine because it is so beautiful.  It has a lot of great ideas for sprucing up your home, learning new things, cooking, crafts, etc.  Each month it has a feature article that goes in depth on a plant or craft or food item that teaches you something new and gives you a background at understanding it better.

Some of the crafts, however, are very labor intensive and I don't find them very realistic for the average user. Super craftsy people, however, will find this very inspiring.

Despite this, I still enjoy reading it each month.


title: Really great at helping me to focus on what is important

text: I love this magazine!  First of all, it is beautiful.  The photography itself is relaxing.  It has a ton of great ideas for taking care of yourself and family.  Lots of good recipies (my favorite was an article called "Don't Make It - Fake it!") and easy step by step instructions.  This magazine helps me to enjoy the simple pleasures in life and free up time to spend with my family.  A must have!


title: Missing magazine subscriptions

text: Did not get. Have also missed a Southern Living once


title: Great magazine

text: I really enjoy the Real Simple magazine because it is filled to the brim with all kinds of interesting and helpful hints.


title: Never received a single issue.

text: My wife loves this magazine and has received it for years and years. We renewed on Amazon which appears to have been a terrible choice. Never received a single issue. Still took the money, though.


title: great concept

text: This magazine has a great concept, some good ideas, and some pretty good articles.  However what I noticed (I actually counted one) only 20 pages in the entire mag. had no ad on it.  I could not easily find articles and most of the articles had ads in the margins. A big turn off for me.


title: Either you love it or you hate it

text: Real Simple. Either you love it or you hate it.


title: Very helpful articles.

text: Love the DIY tips in this magazine.


title: simply pleased

text: This is the first magazine I have read with practical solutions to everyday problems.  It is exactly what it says it is. All the articles are there, being both useful and spiritual, which we all need in this day and age.  I have learned so much from each magazine, on simple things "Mother" never taught me, or she didn't know herself.  I hope it stays just the way it is, I so anticipate the arrival of the next issue.  I have saved much money not buying those other magazines which advertise articles, but "Simply" put, just don't deliver.  Keep up the good work....Thanks Pamela Epperson L.V.N.


title: Great Light (not diet) recipes

text: I love the recipes in Cooking Light. Nothing is too "diet-y" and most of the recipes use great, real, whole foods. The only drawback is a limited amount of vegetarian recipes. They usually include substitutions, but it seems that most of the recipes focus on meat and fish. As I've been starting to transition to a more vegetarian/vegan diet I've found the recipes in Cooking Light to be less helpful to me personally, but if you're an omnivore then this is a great magazine with good food related articles and health advice as well as soon amazing recipes.


title: Great articles and tips! Amazing, easy recipes

text: I love REAL SIMPLE! I've been a subscriber for about 6 months but I've been reading this magazine off and on for several years. I look forward to the amazing advice and tips and delicious and easy recipes every month.


title: Never received this magazine!

text: I ordered Real Simple on 11/30.  Today is 2/1/2010.  I have yet to receive an issue of this magazine.


title: Much information

text: They have practical articles and ideas.


title: A must for Southern ladies!

text: Still like Southern Living but it's not as good as in early years.  I have saved<br />Copies from the 1980's. They were awesome!


title: Magazine worth getting.

text: Beautiful pictures,  quality paper and many ideas.


title: Pretty pictures of the food preparation.

text: Ingredients not easily bought.


title: Love This Magazine

text: Great articles and information. Easy reading and lots of great tips!


title: Five Stars

text: This wS a reorder. So we are loving it


title: Magazine

text: Quality magazine with lots of local info & insights.  I love getting the inside scoop on the best Baltimore has to offer.  Looking forward to my year of local arts, entertainment, food, etc.


title: Great Home/Life magazine

text: This magazine provides lots of useful information for home life and life in general.  I find it inspiring and motivating.


title: A good reading if you are busy

text:
Being a subscriber of many magazines, this is the one I anticipate arriving every month. My favorite sections are "New uses for old things", "Problem-solving products", "Life". Some of their recipes are delicious! I personally love their Spaghetti with asparagus and hazelnuts.
Other than that, there are a lot of advertisements and product placements to sift through, plus some of the articles are recycled from other publications.
I would recommend it to a busy person who does not have time surfing the Internet for useful ideas.


title: Five Stars

text: great price for a great magazine


title: Great magazine

text: Always wanted to subscribe to this magazine and because of Amazon it was possible. I love this magazine!  I look forward to reading it every other month.


title: Three Stars

text: Beautifully done but not too intreresting or timely


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine! I look forward to reading it every month!


title: Real Simple Magazine ROCKS!

text: This magazine has such a wide variety of topics, it'll surely have something for everyone.  I can't imagine how they come up with such a good magazine month after month.  I hope they keep up the good work.


title: Great magazine for busy moms

text: Love it - just received my first issue.  It's the perfect combo of organization tips, Oprah like inner self articles, and fun fashion and home ideas.  I'm in my late 30s, feels perfect for this time of my life.


title: Charge without permission!!!!

text: Mostly garbage


title: Price increase

text:
Shocking to see the cost of this magazine per issue increase from $5.99 to $9.99!!!
How can a magazine cost $10.00 per month?
Sad to see greed of this magnitude and will lead to the magazines’s demise
January 2020 was the last time I will be purchasing the magazine.


title: Very informative

text: This magazine is one of the best I have read in a long time.  It provides excellent information and is available for an excellent price through Amazon.  I will continue to subscribe to it especially if Amazon keeps offering the great deals.


title: Disappointed in the deverely

text:
I received my first issue of Real Simple magazine the Jan. issue, the week after Christmas .  The next one came Jan 3.
It was the Dec issue (who needs this one now).  It was torn and a mess. On my Lable it says my subscription is up in Nov.
I will be short the Dec. issue. I guess they count the Dec. Issue I just received as #12.  I will not order any more subscriptions
Until this is corrected.


title: Real Simple Subscription

text: I like this magazine because it covers a lot of topics from set categories each month.  The articles are extremely well written, the photography is top notch, and it is varied enough to please a little of different people.  It is the only magazine subscription that I've maintained for over 10 years.


title: Terrible-  I ordered this once 5 years ago and keep getting charged every year

text: Terrible- ordered this once many years ago.  Keeps getting charged and renewed every year.  Do not order, you’ll never get out of it!


title: Five Stars

text: I love this magazine.


title: Yes!!

text: Great publication !


title: Non-Existent subsription

text:
I have purchased the REAL Simple online on the 30th Nov along with National Geographic and Good Houskeeping Magazines. Todate, I have NOT RECEIVED a single copy of REAL Simple whilst I have already got 2 copies each of the other two magazines.

Its hard to review a magazine that never showed up!


title: Quality information

text: I refer to National Georgraphic Mag Jan issue where they featured Singapore. I enjoyed reading the article about my country as I was from Singapore and felt that the writer has captured the essence of Singapore very well.<br />However, I was disappointed with the photos portraying Singapore. The Pictures do not represent the modern, hi-tech and "man-made" beauty of the gardens and the structures of the island as it should. Instead, it has pictures that were just showing Asian faces or of landscape that made Singapore feel like it was back in the 60s.This warped visual view of Singapore does not potray the Singapore of today.


title: Still haven't recieved

text: It is exactly 2 months to the day and I still haven't received this purchase yet.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome magazine

text: Have learned some new tricks

I can't rate this item because I have not received any issues yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what I am suppose to put for the stars.....I DON'T HAVE THE MAGAZINE YET!!!!!!!!


title: Real Simple

text: Great price


title: Love this magazine!

text: Love recieving the magazine monthly.


title: Good quality articles!

text: To much advertising!


title: One Star

text: Nothing useful or interesting and I never ordered it but charged on my account.


title: Real Simple Magazine

text: I had not heard of this magazine before, so with the great offer from Amazon.Com I decided to give it a try. Although there are a lot of advertisements, there are a lot of quality articles and ideas in this magazine. I would definitely recommend it...


title: Buyer beware...

text:
I only received the first couple of issues in my first year of my subscription. I actually forgot that I even had a subscription until it renewed again this year.

 Buyer beware.


title: Great magazine.

text: Great periodical.


title: Real Useful Magazine!

text: This is one of my all time favorite magazines. It has helpful information about organizing your life. The photography is excellent and I simply love the articles about inspirational real women. I renew my subscription every year. You might want to check out their website for free tips here: [...]<br />Forget the naysayers with an agenda. Check out this magazine ASAP. You won't regret it. :-)


title: How is this highly rated? Their content is all ads

text: After getting my 2nd issue I’d suggest avoiding this magazine and don’t waste your time. You are basically paying to look at advertisements. Every page turn has an ad, even the main content seems like an ad. There’s much better publications worth your time and money.


title: Real Simple is great

text: My Wife loves reading this magazine, and reads it cover to cover as soon as it arrives. She is so happy to use the ideas in the magazine, and she converses with her friends about all the interesting stories.


title: Love this Mag

text: Always love Real Simple because it gives you a lot of great tips and products.


title: perfect!

text: Service was exemplary, item was as described,perfect!


title: Five Stars

text: So many interesting articles in this magazine.


title: Gift of Real Simple

text: I have to give this magazine to my daughter-in-law every year! She is obsessed and lives by it. Will probably be a lifetime gift. This I am thankful for. Thank you, Beth


title: One Star

text: Not sale. Normal price and mucking up amazon deal system


title: One Star

text: Fake 'sale' price


title: Disappointed

text:
I haven't received this item. I was disappointed to see that the coupon offered with this subscription did not work. I feel misled. While I know that this disappointment should not affect the product, I wasn't given another opportunity to voice my concern about having been baited. The Promoters apology and offer of a discount on a future purchase doesn't make me feel better.

I've had a subscription to this magazine in the past and was pleased with it's relevant and timely content, attractive colors and layout. However, the price is rather dear for a person on a budget and I have little time for reading magazines, so I was trying to justify buying it based on the advertised coupon discount. I hope that Amazon will check these offers before presenting them in the future.


title: Real Simple- Simple Minded, of course!

text:
I'm utterly appalled at the waste of paper that these folks call a magazine. I had picked the magazine up a few times before this latest issue, in August 2003, where they denounced breastfeeding as one of their "time saving tips".
This only shows an irresponsible approach to journalism and I have decided to boycott the magazine.
Apparently the professional they contacted, Dr. Boris Petrovosky, was not educated in the least regarding the health risks associated with formula feeding and their copy editors didn't care to check the facts before they printed the article.
Bottom line? Skip this magazine and go with responsible journalists who check the facts before they go to print.


title: Real Simple

text: I can not tell you anything about the magazine, since I will not be receiving it.<br />Amazon very easily took my money, and then weeks later I received notice that I would not be receiving the magazine. I have spent hours on the phone and computer trying to straighten out this problem. DO NOT ORDER ANY susscriptions from Amazon.com.


title: Real Simple To Get Through

text: This magazine does have a wonderful layout, uncluttered, simple pictures...however I wonder if it is more than that that makes it so easy to get through from cover to cover? In general, I really do like this magazine. The concept is wonderful even though some of the projects to make your life more simple are really not that simple! As well, I find that there are relatively few articles in this magazine to read. The pictures are nice but even with a simple lifestyle I like to read something of intrigue, it is as though they do not want to tax your brain. This is a good "tub" magazine, one to just flip through. There are good suggestions from time to time on how to get rid of clutter in all aspects of your life and these are worthwhile.


title: Consistently Good

text: I have received Bon Appetit for years and it has always been good. Whenever I need something new for a dinner party I'm sure to find it here. There are also lots of recipes that one can do during the week that just take up a little more time but make dinner that much more special. The concentration of the magazine is on food, not travel or wine as is the case for some others. I often use the website epicurious.com in conjunction with it and that is very helpful. I enjoy the articles and the pictures are done well. It is not a glitzy magazine but is consistently good.


title: Great Articles

text: Vanity Fair is one of the best magazines out there for well written articles. It has interesting articles on celebrities and some current events. The photos are great as well as the layout. My husband and I both love this magazine.


title: A little stale

text: I used to really enjoy reading MSL but as of late I find I am looking at this magazine saying, "Why?". It has wonderful pictures and a nice layout but many of her decorating ideas and projects are just too cumbersome and really not that interesting. I am finding fewer and fewer interesting articles that I want to read in it. I do however still like the recipes it includes and suggestions for table settings and entertaining. It is worth looking at for those areas but otherwise forget it, save your money.


title: Excellent!!!

text: Provides practical tips and advice for every area in your life.


title: Not yer typical everyday read!!!

text: I love this magazine!!!  I found it by accident in the lunchroom of my job and have been reading it ever since.<br />Jane Pratt is off da hook!!!  When most of my magazine subscriptions are Essence, Ebony, Jet, etc,...she is right up there with her off the wall articles and advice.  You MUST subscribe!!!


title: Help with shopping?  C'mon, really?  A magazine for that?

text: Initially, I thought this was crazee for a magazine...all about shopping?  I can do that on my own, but I finally caved in and subscribed.  I find this to be quite helpful, with useful articles<I especially love the "Week's Worth of Style">, product guides and info on hot shopping locations through out the world.


title: Great Reading

text: I find this magazine is geared to all ages.


title: applicable info for the real-life woman

text: i absolutely LOVE this magazine... and so do all of my friends! when i first started reading, i loved it so much that i decided to give a subscription to all my girlfriends for Xmas... and now each year when xmas rolls around they all remind me how much they hope they continue to receive it!!! great articles, recipes, fashion, everyday tips, and information about navigating your way through the real world. highly recommend :)


title: Great Magazine

text: I am renewing Real Simple after my first 1 year subscription. Had some really good recipes and nice little hints. I like the variety, and it isn't completely advertisements! Would recommend to anyone for some fun ideas


title: Easy subscription, great magazine

text:
Not only did the magazine arrive in the typical amount of time for a new subscription, but it was so much cheaper to get it through Amazon.

Both my husband and I love reading through Real Simple, especially for the recipes! I love that it's a lifestyle magazine that isn't goofily feminine or too targeted for a certain demographic. Chic, practical, tasty ideas - that's it!


title: Real Simple magazine

text: I am not a magazine person but this product has a number of informational and helpful details to make Life a little easier and time saving.  I am keeping the subscription as well as the magazine.


title: One Star

text: i don't like thus mag at all. i want to cancel it. it's all adds.

title: Enjoy the magazine

text: I enjoy the magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: Practiacal


title: Very Simple

text: I love this magazine it truely helps keep things simple, the recipes are easier than the ones in Living.  I was sent a free issue and have been hooked ever since.  Easy read!


title: More advertisements than content

text: I was expecting articles in this magazine. Instead there were tons of ads and product recommendations for typical women things. Some may like the recipes.


title: REAL PRETENTIOUS

text: I have a love/hate relationship with this mag.  As another critic admired, the graphic quality/aethetics are great--clear, uncluttered, beautiful colors...soothing.  However, it definitely assumes a certain lifestyle and tax bracket that say, advocate of TRUE simple living (not going to Home Depot and dropping [lots of money] on organizing bins) would clearly scoff at.  Lots of stuff to buy in this thing.  I don't shop for my wardrobe clothes at Banana Republic just yet.  It does have a lot of Martha Stewart/Helouise-type hints.  Some of which are useful, some of which make you wonder if they expect they are speaking to people with real jobs, lives, etc.  How much time do YOU have on your hands?  It is a lot of fluff for the cost.  There have been a few very good articles about people designing their own (very beautiful and photogenic) alternative lifestyles and to me, these are the most interesting as I still have not found a way to maintain a more status-quo existance.  A non-taxing read for an evening bath.


title: I hate automatic subscription renewals!

text: I went to order this magazine as a gift for my wife, who likes it, but I had to sign up to automatically renew in order to do so. I tried to call their customer service, but they were closed.  That is a lousy way to do business!


title: Real Simple Magazine

text: This is my all time favorite magazine, although I love my cooking magazines and cookbooks. This magazine will teach you all sorts of new things about everything. Also will give you health tips, household tips, shopping tips, organizing tips, how to do about anything ideas. ect ect... An all around Great for Everything magazine. I get it as a Christmas present every once in awhile from someone even!


title: Food Magazine

text: I love good magazines and cookbooks, I have quite an extensive collection of both, however I only collect the ones I feel are really good as I have limited space. This magazine is very good, has good cooking tips, good quality pictures and great recipes. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooking.


title: Good magazine - poor timing

text: I love the magazine from a prior subscription but was very disappointed to have my subscription start with the December issue.  Normally that would be fine but it did not arrive until Dec. 30.  That certainly does not leave any time to take advantage of the holiday advice and information for December!


title: My Favorite magazine

text: I love this magazine so much. Every time I get one my day is made. This is the Real Simple life I want to live.


title: Four Stars

text: This magazine is a fun read.


title: good

text: nice


title: Great Magazine, mainly for women though

text:
Great Magazine. Purchased it after reading it at a friend's house. It contains great ideas for storage, foods, and cleaning but it is a magazine somewhat geared towards women more than men because of it's women's clothes & product advertisements.

Overall recommended and always a very good read.


title: Like RS

text: Practical ideas, fun to read, great bargain price@ Amazon.


title: great magazine

text: I like the diversity of the articles.  There is always something for the home, beauty items, personal stories that can make you a better person and many more goodies.  However, my subscription does not expire until February not excited about the early renewal but I guess that's better than forgetting and missing issues.


title: Four Stars

text: Like this magazine, Real Simple is interesting and has some awesome advice/recipes.


title: Waste of money!!

text: IT IS A WASTE OF Money


title: Five Stars

text: very good!


title: I love the magazine

text: I love the magazine! It gives me information on many topics including things that I did not even know that I wanted information on.


title: Real Simpleton

text: I've subsribed to Real Simple since the beginning. I agree with the other posts that it's become too simple. At first it was refreshing & I sent gift subscriptions to my daughter and a girlfriend. Now I'm finding the content just plain boring. O.K., I've gotten organized, purchased a basic wardrobe, thinned out clutter. Now what? Real Simpleton is starting to leave me wanting more. It lacks creativity and new ideas. I think I'll be allowing my subscription to lapse.


title: to many adds but ok other wise.

text: Although I really think I got a good deal on the magazine, there are a lot of adds. I would rather have a thinner book and fewer adds to go through. I really like the way it is divided up though.


title: Love it

text: I love the articles and the colors in this magazine.  After reading it, I use the magazine for collage art.


title: Favorite

text: This is my favorite magazine!  Always has something I can use in day to day life.


title: Love this magazine

text: I enjoy every issue of this magazine for its unique ideas, decorating tips and for the creative and delicious recipes.

text: Its fun and we certainly need a little fun.


title: Magazine for Busy Women

text: Great magazine for busy working women! I've learned so much for my household.


title: I don't know if it's a great magazine!

text: I ordered this magazine on Nov. 26th.  Today is Feb. 6th.  After 10 weeks, I haven't received a copy of the magazine.  I ordered several different magazines that day and I have received the rest of them (some of them, I've already received two copies!).  So, I honestly can not rate the magazine; just the experience with how long it is taking to get a copy.


title: ... child rearing (we Grandmas only have to do the fun stuff), but I enjoy reading them anyway

text: I may be a little past the need for articles about career and child rearing (we Grandmas only have to do the fun stuff), but I enjoy reading them anyway.  Now that I have time to cook, recipes and tips are definitely useful.


title: ADS SAY A THOUSAND WORDS.  JULIE ANN ECKERT

text: I have read rt ralk simple on news stands.  I read some of the reviews, and constant complaining about ads.  Advertising says a thousand words.  Without ads you will not know what's out there that could give you a better quality of life.  You can preterbet the ad in many different ways.  The power of ads promotes employment.  The people who respond to these ads are intelligent individuals.  It provides revenues in our states and communities.  Ads are essential for our economy.  If you dont like ads I suggest READING a book.  Julie A. Eckert

title: Cancel

text: Cancel subscription


title: Sent check to subscibe & was billed 6 times within 11/2 months for the Script

text: I liked the magazine so I sent a check with the subscription card to subscibe. Within the next few weeks I was billed online & through mail an additional 6 times for my prepaid subscription. After being able despit the copy of my cancelled check to get this corrected, I cancelled. I cancelled on Dec. 10,2011 & was sent the December issue of the magazine (It arrived 12-27-11) anyway. Even if I had not cancelled this would have been un-acceptable, the headline was 50 gifts under $50. My gift giving was already done. I cannot believe they actually sent this and I was charged for it. I am still waiting to see if they will Finally admit that I paid them & am due a REFUND on my Cancellation. What a DIS_ORGANIZED MAGAZINE. REAL SIMPLE, WHAT A JOKE.


title: How to live a "Real Simple" life if you have the money

text:
I was drawn to this magazine by the beautiful photography and promises of useful tips on everything from cleaning your kitchen to cheap gift ideas.  And yes, there are a few interesting articles, tidbits, and suggestions, but I started to notice that a large portion of each issue is used for advertisements.  And as many others have pointed out, there is a LOT of product placement within the articles/features themselves.  And many of these recommended products are so expensive that I concluded that this magazine is targeted at wealthy housewives who can afford these things.
However, what I like most about this magazine are the recipes.  I've cooked some really yummy meals that were featured in the cooking section and recently they've added a "shopping list" section that puts all the ingredients needed for the recipes in one shopping list.  I bought the magazine for several months but unfortunately, the recipes alone were not worth the hefty price (and mostly empty content), so I stopped buying the magazine.
Defenitely NOT for the budget-minded!
