## How It Works Reviews in United States

### ***** "Really Works"
Excellent information, highly recommended. Apps works excellent
-- Carlosdiazven, 2020-09-05

### *---- "Great mag, horrible app"
App takes over 5 min just let me view my purchased magazines. Horrible navigation to find the mag I am looking for. Canceled my subscription.
-- Yodaman70, 2019-10-28

### **--- "Zooming in and out"
Basically a PDF reader have to zoom in and out to read content. Not optimized for the iPhone
-- MinTsai, 2017-03-04

### ***** "Quality information"
This 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.
-- Perfect Resonance, 2017-01-28

### ****- "Great reading"
Definitely deserves 5 stars, just wish the subscription gave access to more without having to pay extra
-- MeeHowNow, 2017-01-18

### ****- "Great"
Great magazine i wish you combine US with British english because it's perfect for english learning.
-- Saeed mesfer, 2016-05-09

### ****- "Good app"
I really like this app.  The content of each subject matter is excellent; the colors on each page of the magazine are very vibrant.  Great photography and computer graphics.
-- LonLonLove, 2016-03-19

### ****- "Bubby"
Could be better.
-- bubby81, 2016-02-18

### ****- "Excellent App"
I 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.
-- umlawgrad, 2015-12-08

### *---- "Not free"
Thought it sounded like a great app. But it only is selling "how it works " articles or magazines.  If it gave you one for free at least you would have an idea what you were getting if you bought one.   This will be the first app that I will not only delete from my phone but also try to delete from my iTunes library of purchased apps.
