How It Works: digital edition for Positive User Reviews
✓ Newsstand, How It WorksI'm only writing this review in response to the idiotic 1-star review below. Magazines are on the iPad. Like their printed counterpart, they require money to either purchase 1 issue. Or offer "Subscriptions" that save loyal readers money. The "free" aspect of this service is allowing you to view which magazines are available for download. Or experience a demonstration of the magazine before you spend time and money on it. This is not deceitful. How It Works is a cool magazine and isa good port to a new medium. In the future, keep the reviews about the specific product, not the service that manages that product..Version: 2.5.3
✓ Quality informationThis app is really great and I usually never write reviews because it's a waste of time. I'm writing this because the other negative reviews probably stop people from learning and that's not cool. It cost 3 bucks a month for a 75pg informative piece of literature. You spend more on lunch in one day.. You can actually learn something informative in this rather than your little Debbie cakes..Version: 3.4.2
✓ V goodI really like how it works it looks and runs with no problomes on my iPad 2 and looks nices easy to use move about ect I wood recommend this.Version: 2.5.4
✓ It's greatYou think it's going to be free! What the hell is wrong with you dicks giving it one star just cause you guys don't wanna spend a little cash! It actually really good if you TRY it..Version: 2.2.6
✓ Awesome appI wish people wouldn't rate it low just because they were under the pretense that it's free. This is a really interesting magazine worth the money.Version: 2.2
✓ Wow seriously people?The magazine download is free and the issues cost money. How hard is it to realize that? It even states it as in app purchases. You folks need to pay attention before 1 staring something due to your ignorance..Version: 2.2
✓ My kids love this.I have the digital version of this magazine on our iPad and I am able to download the whole magazine and the kids can check it out whenever they want it works really well I really like it and so do the kids..Version: 5.6.3
✓ Free is normalI saw all these bad reviews because the magazine issues aren't free. But no magazines are on here. Some give a sample, but it seems they have chosen to select the magazine you are interested in, and you can preview every page! At first I was disappointed, but then I realized its kind of nice even though it's a smaller scale. So you be the judge if you like the issue, just like flipping through pages in the store before you buy..Version: 2.5.5
✓ How it worksExcellent read, wide ranging topics, always interesting..Version: 3.4.2
✓ DescriptionIt says in the description the the magazines cost money next time read the description before thinking your getting free. The magazines are very interesting Because of this magazine I now know The basics on how to drive a tank.Version: 2.5.8
✓ Superb! Digital edition for less...I love this subscription. I've never bought any magazines on a regular basis until NewsStand came along. Cheaper and more flexible, putting you in control!!! I love the quality of this magazine! Clear and shows up really well on my iPhone 4S screen. 5 Stars for quality but would give 4 stars in total for the way the magazine handles navigation. Other magazine subscriptions have better navigation features, and Library Views, i.e.: Library showing just the purchased magazines instead of ALL the magazines on offer. The other thing is double tapping on paragraphs does not line them up zoomed to the screen width. You have to pinch in and out slightly to fill your screen with the width of the Paragraph. This could do with sorting please!.Version: 2.5
✓ Love itIt really makes me wonder how stupid people are. The app is free but you right you have to pay for the subscription. Why would you expect a company to give you a free magazine? Learn to read it says in app purchase. Really people all of you that expect this to be free you are as stupid as box or rocks..Version: 2.2.6
✓ HahaI have to agree. Guys...obviously they aren't going to be giving out free magazines. Use your common sense when downloading it. If you thought it was free, get a reality check. Other than that, the magazine is great! It even says the subscription fees in the description..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Love it!This magazine is so damn good! I normally never spend money on apps. But I spend on this app for the first time. Money well spent! If you're curious about how the world works this app is for you!.Version: 5.101
✓ Awesome!This was my first subscription for news stand and it's great, all these people rating it one star for not being free are stupid, all the news stand applications are free, that doesn't mean the subscriptions are free, they do this because there are many different ways of paying, you can buy a single magazine or 6 months or 1 year. So don't pay mind to the negative reviews. From an experienced apple user and magazine lover this is great =D.Version: 2.2
✓ Awesome!I learnt Egypt built pyramids in 20years using this app lol.Version: 3.4.0
✓ Good but expensiveI love how it works magasine but it is a bit expensive for what it is. The magisine itsself tho is very intuative and very intressting..Version: 2.2
✓ Good App Great MagazineThis app works great. All the people giving bad reviews.. Read the description before you "waste your time downloading it." Really? It's free because these folks don't want to charge us for an app that lets us buy their magazines and/or subscriptions. How can they give away magazines for free? What's wrong with you guys? This app is for people that don't want to go to the bookstore to buy an issue bc it's easier to have on ur idevice. Get real people. Use ur brain b4 you give a great thing a bad reputation. By the way.. I don't in anyway whatsoever work for this company, I am just annoyed by stupid people..Version: 2.2
✓ Stop negativityYou people need to stop with all the negative reviews. All newsstand apps are FREE to download. That's why it's free. It's the same as an actual newsstand in person. You didn't pay for it to be there. But you can just take a newspaper or magazine for free!! Same concept here people. Give credit where it's due. I haven't had any issues with the app..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Way cheaper than paper here in the US - AWESOME Mag!We can’t get the paper edition here in the states for anything resembling a reasonable cost, and compared to import rates, this ipad edition is a steal! I bought the year-long subscription and read each issue cover to cover. How It Works is the ultimate brain-feed for folks who love to learn about science. It’s extremely well written, and quite diverse in its range of topics. If you like Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, etc.; you’ll probably dig this. Download a "preview" before you buy a subscription if you’re not sure..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Pretty goodBeen able to download all my purchases when available. A great read..Version: 2.5.4
✓ Really stupidJust scan the contents of a traditional magazine and put it on the iPhone? When will these drones get it? The paper format is dead. Rewrite your magazine as an interactive iOS app. No one wants to read a sprawling magazine on a tiny screen. That might work for the iPad 3, but not the iPhone or iPad 2, not enough resolution..Version: 2.2
✓ Lots of factsBefore I started reading this I knew 11 facts. I now know all the facts. And they still keep coming. Facts are everywhere! It's sometimes difficult to move around the page though, because instead of scrolling it'll bring up the navigation screen. This can be annoying. And that's a fact! Ha ha ha! See, I'm even making my own facts up now..Version: 2.5.7
✓ What is wrong with you people?I'm confused as to why people are giving this magazine a bad review if they didn't even read it. You couldn't have actually thought itd be free?? How much time did you really waste downloading this app? App is great and these people are silly. Highly recommend. It's great - not piling up magazines, info is good. These subscriptions are really good for the iPad - don't have to zoom =] Don't listen to the bad reviews! These people don't know what they're talking about. Act like they got jipped =p so silly.Version: 2.2
✓ BSDoesnt even work, screen is black and cant read the magazine i bought.Version: 2.2
✓ Don't AssumeVery simple people, the app is free the subscription is not. All you have to do is read the description FIRST before seeing the word "free" and scrambling as fast as you can to download it. No deceit, or hoodwinking involved, it's VERY CLEAR in the description what the cost is..Version: 2.2
✓ How it worksExcellent magazine. Long term subscriber..Version: 3.4.2
✓ Four stars only for the paper magazine, and this app I can only give one starHow It Works is my favorite magazine for curious mind but it is very difficult to purchase its paper version in China and that is why I downloaded this app and subscribed for digital books. However, the experience for this app is too terrible that I cannot access the store anymore after I successfully subscribed. This magazine is fantastic and in order to enjoy it on iOS I sincerely hope you guys can improve this app..Version: 3.4.0
✓ GoodI bought a copy and I thought it was interesting, I now know things I didn't know before and will be buying next months issue 😁.Version: 2.2
✓ Great contentAnd no issues with subscription neither. Great magazine..Version: 3.4.0
✓ You people are absolute idiots.You can't walk up to a newsstand in real life and just take a magazine for free, and companies sure as hell don't send out free subscriptions, so why would the content for any of the magazines on here be any different..Version: 2.5
✓ Chill out people.It tells you in the description that it is going to cost to subscribe to the mag. You should all be mad at yourselves for not having taken the extra 15 seconds to read it before downloading. If you can afford it and the subjects interest you I highly recommend this mag..Version: 2.2
✓ A Wonderful resourceTo those who want something for nothing please read carefully. The app IS FREE, the magazines you must buy. Simple. The magazine is a great resource. Lots of information every month. Think of it as BRAIN CANDY and just enjoy the wonderful insights that you will be provided . Please continue the good work..Version: 3.4.0
✓ One star reviewers are missing the point!Guys, stop giving one star reviews because the app is free, but the issues cost money. Thats obviously how Apple has set it up because THEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT! Don't blame the publisher for something that's out of their hands, and don't bother rating magazines if you haven't even read a copy - that's not what the reviews are for. **UPDATED** I've just discovered that if you download the app, then view the unpurchased issues in landscape mode, you can tap the cover and it goes into a preview mode that shows you the whole issue. Try before you buy!.Version: 2.2
✓ It's exactly what I expectedI read on here that a lot of people are upset that they have to pay for a subscription "but the app was supposed to be free!" Yeah, the app is free. The subscription isn't. No where on the internet are these kinds of magazines simply free. They all charge a subscription fee. If you go this way you're actually getting a great deal compared to the 10 bucks an issue on the stand..Version: 2.2
✓ MagazineHi I subscribe to your actual magazine and now have an iPad 3, can I keep my subscription going to receive it on the iPad as well or do I cancel my subscription for magazine and re subscribe for iPad version or can I get both..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Nothing in life is free.It's hard to get a good idea of the good apps and bad when the only criteria that you people put on apps is if it's free or not. It's a magazine it's gonna cost something. And why does the digital have to cost less. It takes more work putting together an interactive digital mag than one set for print. I want to look at reviews and get an idea about the content and usability of an app not that everyone is so broke they can't afford a 3 dollar magazine..Version: 2.2
✓ No teaser!?!The application to get the magazines is free and the people that are dumb enough to pay for subscriptions on accident or that expect to have full subscriptions for free should not be rating apps! The interface is very attractive. BUT, I would have liked to see a teaser. Half of an issue or something would make the download more worth it. I just wanted a peak and didn't get one..Version: 2.2
✓ Nice book!I spent $9 on it, and each time I tried to open it, it crash without any hesitation! So disappointed!!! Even update cannot solve the problem! However, in the 7th try, it finally came to work, thank goodness!.Version: 2.4.3
✓ 2 funnyY'all just can't deal with the fact you have to come out of your pocket for a year subscription. Get over yourself and pay for the info. Folks ALWAYS want something FREE. Will u go into a store.... Grab a magazine off the rack then walk out NO. If you do then SOMEBODY going to JAIL! LMBO!.Version: 2.2
✓ WowIt truly scares me that some of these "one star" reviewers are eligible to vote for the next US President! What did you really think this app was for? Since you guys DON'T apparently know and didn't even bother to use your heads, I'll spoil the secret: IT'S A FRONT END FOR A SUBSCRIPTION! A 4 yr old or a monkey could have figured that out for themselves, when apparently most of you could not! The app is free to download so that you can buy the sub. To all of you MORONS crying "rip off", go to Barnes & Noble, select any magazine and just tell the cashier that you're gonna take it home for free to see if ya like it. Post your results here instead of your reviews. It would waste all of our time a lot less. See, was that really SOO hard to understand. Do the rest of us a favor and obstain next November? Thxx.Version: 2.4.3
✓ Plz fix love appIt's a love hate relationship. I hate it crashes sometimes and love it as a magazine. Please fix bugs for those of us that buy it..Version: 2.2
✓ BrilliantGood magazine. A very interesting read..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Why do people hate this app?It's full of great information, but subbing is stupid. Just buy the issues you want. I love this magazine!.Version: 2.5.8
✓ ListenDo you expect a company to give expensive magazines for free? With this you buy the magazine, if they made you pay for the magazine market you would be even madder! So, if you're interested in a good magazine get this.Version: 2.5.1
✓ It's a magazine people!Of course it isn't free! The description is there to be read and it clearly states the subscription fees within. While I agree that a "First Issue" or "Article of the Month" free would be a welcome addition to Newsstand, how can you be so daft to think that you would get free magazine subscriptions to hundreds of great publications? How It Works is an excellent magazine, if you want to get a preview then flip through it the next time you're at a bookstore. Newsstand is a convenient app, glad iOS5 incorporated it..Version: 2.2
✓ It WorksI can understand why people only give this App one star and rate it as a fraud, con etc, for the reason it says it's free which it is not. My opinion is purely that it is marketed wrong and the price should be as it is £2.49 each volume, not free. If you think that you are being mugged just pop down to your local newsagent and buy it at 3 times the price . I wouldn't buy it at this price although it is a very good read at £2.49 on my iPad. Just do as I have done and download one volume and see the value for money that you are getting..Version: 2.2
✓ Stupid peopleYou people really think they would give people free issues of magazines? I purchased some of the issues, and it is an amazing magazine.Version: 2.2
✓ Excellent AppI don't understand the negative reviews. This app is a vehicle for an online subscription and to purchase back issues at a substantial discount. There is nothing free here. Nor should there be. Like virtually every other magazine, neither back issues nor a subscription are free. If you like this fine magazine and would like to subscribe or purchase back issues at $3.99, this is a great app..Version: 3.4.2
✓ Excellent Magazine!I didn't know this magazine existed until finding it here in Newsstand. I purchased one issue to try it out and was hooked from there! I find it funny that people will negatively rate the app as a consequence of their own fault for not reading the terms. The app is free to search their magazine database, it states very clearly that past and current issues are available for PURCHASE within the app. Nowhere it states that you get the magazine for free. Idiots..Version: 2.2.6
✓ Fantastic magazineGreat magazine for those with an interest in the world around them. Yes you pay for additions but we don't walk into a news agent and take free magazines now do we. Love it. keep up the good work..Version: 2.5.7
✓ Almost Perfect >>>> Future PerfectContents are interesting covering vast various topics. The graphics are great and photographs are exquisite. Downsides: 1. give us the print button or ability to save it in PDFs because when I purchased a mag I own it. 2. Where’s the videos? This is a digital era where multimedia is a must. Preferably videos included in the mags so can be viewed offline, NOT STREAMING CONTENT PLEASE !.Version: 6.0.16
✓ I'm sorry...You have to be a special kind of idiot to think that a magazine which is not free is going to be, all of a sudden, free in digital format. If you are reviewing with 1-star and this is your first ever rate/review, I can understand the confusion. For those that have been buying apps for more than one week, do me a favour. I wish people reviewing on newstand would stop messing around with stupid reviews. It blights this part of the appstore as it does others. Excellent magazine, available digitally. Happy days..Version: 2.2
