  • very good magazine and app

    I enjoy reading this magazine very much. The app is also easy to navigate and read.
  • Worst customer service ever

    This is the worst customer service ever!

    Downloaded the app. Bought a year subscription. I was super happy and could not wait to start reading the current issue. But I could not access it. I tried the "restore purchase" as suggested, but it said "failed to restore 1 purchase, try to download it individually, you will not be charged for it". Wrong! Less than five minutes later they had charged my CC. I called their customer service to see if we could work things out, but the lady could not care less. She kept saying that I needed to contact Apple to have them cancel the charges. Fine, but I wanted also to make sure that everything would be in order for the upcoming year. She just did not want to help me in any way and told me to call Apple and have them cancel all the charges. I did contact Apple and they were able to reverse both charges. Sadly I won't be reading this magazine but if they don't care to have customer then I will never recommend this magazine!

  • Science and Technology, for all ages.

    I have read Discover, since I was an elementary school student, through the adult I am today. It is at once better that some other, more populist magazines, which while fun, don't present or give access to the hard sciences, and other more academic magazines, which while giving the access, can fail in accessibility. From saving money as a kid for the next issue to now, I, and now my daughters, can't wait for each issue, and use it for our own literature surveys when we get that first taste from Discover.

    A real tradition to this day!

  • Great app and magazine

    I love Discover. Great variety of topics, with coverage that is in depth without being beyond MY depth. I used to subscribe to Scientific American, another great magazine, but the articles were way too ....scientific...for me. discover is perfect, and the app is easy and intuitive to use.
  • Excellent science newsmagazine!

    I've been a reader of the magazine since the 1980's (when it was called Science 84, Science 85, etc.) and there is none better for the lay reader that contains solid science reporting in an attractive and entertaining format. The app exactly replicates the magazine layout, a design choice that has its pluses and minuses, but it looks good at the expense, somewhat, of ease of navigation and intuitive interface. I'd give it five stars for content and three stars for interface. Still, I like the app version enough that I haven't gone back to the paper format.

    Very informative and plenty of great articles on many interesting stories. Love the Life Signs series best
  • Discovery App

    I am happy with Discovery Magazine. It is very informative, yet easy to understand.
  • Discover Magazine

    Great magazine! I read it cover to cover every month. The app could be improved by eliminating the opening page and going directly to the liberay. You could, also, include the date my subscription expires so I can plan on renewal.
