I have NEVER received one magazine. Buyer and Meredith Corporation, beware.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've looked Real Simple since it came out. The digital version was identical until recently. Now the digital version represents only a sample of the articles (and all the ads) isolated from the rest of the magazine. You barely get any content. I still like the print version even though lugging it around is inconvenient. I'm cancelling the digital version."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Real Simple is another of my eye candy magazines that I enjoy looking at and not having to actually think. Just enjoyable and Amazon makes it easy to keep track of my subscriptions so I can just toss those annoying renewals that seem to start as soon as the first issue of any magazine arrives. I like reading online, but also enjoy hard cover mags.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This magazine is about 80% advertising with very little actual articles. Very disappointed'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "So disappointed with my new subscription. I flipped through the whole thing in about 15 minutes. It's almost all adds, with a few decent recipes and a short story thrown in. What a waste."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've had an issue with this ever since I ordered it. Real simple keeps contacting me telling me I owe them more money for this subscription that I already paid for."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2015', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I actually love this magazine. The print version is done well and there are always articles that I read and keep. I am rating this three star based on extraordinarily poor customer service. I wanted to take the digital version with me on vacation, but for some reason could no longer access my library or download copies. This is recent, as in past, I have always been able to do so. I emailed RS for assistance. A week passed with no response. I followed up and received a response that they needed additional info as they could not locate my account. I provided the info they requested. No response. A week passed and I followed up. Two days later I received an email that they needed the same info I had already sent as they couldn't find my account. I sent it again. A week passed. No response. I followed up with a third request. No response. Today I follow up with a fourth request, but have little hope that RS has any interest in helping me with this issue. This was very disappointing. If RS does not wish to provide customer service, they should stop implying that that they do."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I subscribe to this magazine years ago, It has really changed, Not as many articles as there was before, I recall cutting out coupons , not anymore more, I think at there was 1 that I couldn't use. Its like everything else Downsizing. Not Impressed at all, I will not be renewing it that Simple"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I\'ve always been attracted to the REAL SIMPLE covers often grabbing one at the cashier stand. After a while I noticed quite the collection of issues around the house that weren\'t getting recycled so I must have been enjoying them. A subscription has proven to be one of the best gifts I have given myself. The articles are truly thoughtful and informative and each issues\' theme seems to be directed towards me personally. An example of how a theme continues through each issue is a SPRING CLEANING one which included some chapters titled *The Mind-Set *The Basics *The Tools *The Tough Spots *Extra Credit. Within those chapters are great articles "Getting Ahead of the Mess", "How To Clean Anything", "Car-Washing Crash Course", "Take Control of Your Pet Mess" and many many others including "How To De-Germ a Hotel Room" and a surprisingly useful "What\'s Your Cleaning Personality". I could go on forever but I\'d rather just reread this one. I love having a subscription.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'While I found the magazine a bit too sparse and simplistic in its content and layout, I still enjoyed relaxing and paging through. Then the editor announced her plans to incorporate political and social justice issues moving forward... because if she didn\'t, she\'d be "complicit". (All liberal politics, naturally, are promoted, including excerpts from Obama\'s book). While I have no problems with others having similar or different political views than I do, I certainly don\'t feel the need to pay to receive them. Subscription cancelled.'}]
