National Geographic Kids App Reviews

I downloaded this yesterday for my iPad and we had the best time reading it. I love how they made it interactive with sounds and quizzes, etc. what a fun magazine. I had no download or crashing problems. I only purchased one month, but look forward to purchasing future issues.

Dont get it if you do you have to pay for more it does not give u any thing don get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$$

Another attempt to rip you off, pay for the magazine, and now pay again to view it on the iPad. Guess what, I am canceling the magazine and will do same for any other magazine subscription that does not provide for free viewing of what I have already paid!

I love the digital version of National Geographic and have been a print subscriber for years. On the standard nat geo magazine you get free access to the ipad version, this does not appear to be the case for Nat Geo Kids. I ordered my daughter the print edition thinking the iPad version would be able to be linked. I was wrong. Very disappointed.

Nat Geo, really?! If your subscribers want a digital version, making them have two separate subscriptions is not a way to win customers back at renewal time. Dont waste your time trying to figure out this one folks, wait until they announce an upgrade that allows access for current subscribers. There is not even a free sample as advertized.

I love this app but you have to buy the stuff $$$$$ Im not a geek, but I love to learn. This app is really informational and is EPIC!!!!!!!!

So my child is subscribed to the magazine and I wanted her to be Elle to see the digital version of it but as it turns out I will have to buy another one ARE U KIDDING ME I subscribe to the times and their digital version is free ! I will cancel my subscription until they change this and will do the same to every other magazine I have . Its ridiculous why will I pay twice !

I dont really understand this "magazine". You have to buy everything and if you dont the its just pointless. I dont recommend this app.

Useless and not practical at all. You will not get a digital copy. The worth $20 bucks that I spent in a long while. I was not smart enough to start with one issues and bought a year subscription. Shame on me.

You have to buy the magazines seaport

Do not get this if u wanna pay for stuff. Get if u do. Its ok there is a free sample with only 5 pages! Its ok GET WEIRD BUT TRUE!!

I cant believe that National Geographic is so desperate for money that it tries to hustle it from the kids products. How do you justify not making this flimsy little magazine free online for paid print subscribers. A ripoff. Shows your are not sincere that your purpose is to educate. The kids are not missing much anyway. I hoped that an online subscription would keep my grand kids interested. They seldom touch the print version anymore

What a joke I cant get in to my magazine I HAVE TO BUY IT.

1st the positives- It is easy to use, has 2 animal videos, lots of great pictures that are easy to understand what they are, explanations are short and informative (just what a young child needs) a child can operate app with or witout parent help. 2nd the negatives- Initaily app would not work, would not download. This is what I had to do to fix the problem. I purchased it on the ipad - clicked download. The app showed up but was blank when opened.Next turned on computer- downloaded app to computer. Synced ipad with computer- went to app area clicked sync. Unplug ipad then turn off, turned on 10 min later. Clicked on app, picture came up, then clicked on download (yes again). The it took 2x before the app downloaded properly. But works great now. For some reason the app tends to have problems downloading. The main reason that people are not liking this app is because they have the print version and want the app for free which the company does not do. If you want the app then you have to pay. They have to pay apple to place the app on the site, so you have to pay to use it.

My kids already have a print subscription, thought Id be able to get the digital version too. But you cant, you have to buy the magazines all over again. I can get my regular NG subscription as a digital copy, so I dont understand what prevents NGK from doing the same.

The only magazine I have came across that does NOT provide iPad access to print subscribers. I echo the other comments - shame on you, Nat Geo! The full magazine includes it, guess you are just looking to rip off parents who cant say no. No!

We already paid for print subscription. Why charge us again? The regular Nat Geo magazine offers Print + iPad subscription for $20/yr. Nat Geo Kids should also. You could be gaining loyal subscribers instead of gouging our pocket books. Grow up and see how almost all other magazines are doing it. Pretty please.

I have paid for print version. I need access to ipad version as well.

Just downloaded this app, obtained I year subscription and cant open the magazine to share with my son! The app is completely frozen! Why?

What is going on with the app? Ive been trying to access for a long time. I havent been able to check the magazine because the its frozen.
