Oyla Reviews

Totally unacceptable

We subscribed for a 6 month publication as a gift but have tried to cancel as it was deemed not quite right for the recipient However on trying to cancel the subscription via various methods emailing 3 times phone number refund page on the website messenger we have had absolutely no response about our request The customer service is absolutely non existent and we are yet to receive the refund even though the website states it would be done within 24 hours UNACCEPTABLE

Horribly inaccurate

I downloaded a pdf copy of the magazine I only made it partway through the first article Why don t Giants and Miniature People Exist before I knew that it was awful The science was so inaccurate and incorrect that my 14 year old son would have been offended Humans are not cube shaped so the volume of a human is not calculated as the cube of their height The logical inconsistencies within the article were astounding Please have someone with a degree in a hard science read the articles before publishing them

This reads as if it were a translation

This reads as if it were a translation from another language The individual sentences are mostly grammatical but the paragraph composition and organization are haphazard inconsistent illogical It s as if a random marketing sophomore were assigned to piece together scientific articles Additionally there are typically several obvious errors in each issue - an example would be a recent article that swapped the descriptions for parabola and hyperbola to the incorrect image bush league stuff It s obvious that the scientific editing is by a poor writer and or the English editing is by a someone lacking basic STEM education

Ordered mine nearly 2 months ago

Ordered mine nearly 2 months ago No magazine No replies to my emails and fb messages and the phone number on the website is incorrect

High quality and well done

I ve found these to be very high quality My son is obsessed with them and typically reads the articles several times We just renewed for a second year and have found the articles relevant and accessible The imagery and layout are professionally done and keep kids reading

This is an outstanding publication

This is an outstanding publication I bought a subscription for myself and I m almost 60 Math and other STEM topics were taught in a very different and pretty much indecipherable way when I was trying to learn them as a kid I have learned so much from this magazine And as a graphic artist I am very impressed by the excellent illustrations that make their lessons easy to visualize I m thrilled when I see each issue in my mailbox and I keep every one To Asher Whitney below who whined to great extent that the articles seem like translations perhaps some of them are Oyla is published in at least 12 countries in several languages which I find thrilling Asher seems to be a terribly provincial chap who is offended that any non-English speaker has the nerve to write about STEM topics I have never for one moment felt that I was reading in Oyla a translation of work in a different language--not that it would matter

Good magazine

I liked the magazine My 10 year old son loves it
