Do NOT buy online! Nightmare!
     
by RhinoRage77 · October 17, 2023

I decided to get a yearly subscription online and from the very start it’s been a nightmare! From how you “activate” your subscription to getting multiple errors while trying to log in! Not worth the headache

Popular Mechanics excellent and useful for science

It’s science you can understand.

garbage
     
by unpopularmech · November 12, 2025

in the running for worst app on my device. login is useless. doesn’t have a login through google like the web portal. doesn’t recognize my credentials. even the “done” tab submits a request and won’t exit. nonsense.

Less than inviting
     
by roberto andre · May 6, 2025

Despite paying for access you still have to view ads. What a joke

Good App
     
by No nickname 347 · April 28, 2025

This magazine is great, no complaints about that, but my phone lost 40 percent in an hour. That seems a little excessive for scrolling through a magazine.

Can’t log in
     
by Horrible greedy company · March 22, 2023

Visiting on my Chromebook frequently but can never log in with the app, why is this so complicated? Email and zipcode should be easy you think, I guess not

Very cumbersome
     
by lucythecat1 · May 4, 2026

For a company that prides itself in cutting edge technology, the app feels more like a 1980s home computer. So many things I can’t list. But go on it once and you’ll see. You don’t smoothly log in even when your acct is set up. You don’t open to nice graphics or articles. It looks like they are selling individual magazines -Not an app to actually enjoy your digital subscription. I cancelled. Not worth the money.

Fantastic stories
     
by waffks · May 14, 2024

The best of the best was the story of CC Meyers rebuilding the burned out blown up section of the I 580 in Oakland (the maze). Fantastic story about an amazing accomplishment by an amazing group of men
