GBAuto renewal by default Paid for 6 month subscription to National Geographic Kids for my grandson. Was surprised to see on the invoice it said "auto-renewal" which I did not want. Tried twice to phone - only got "very busy" message; sent two emails - no response.

GBDown the Tubes I have been a National Geographic member/subscriber for over 50 years. I read my parents magazines for almost 20 years before that. I will be a member no longer. I can no longer tolerate the racist, sexist bent of this once vibrant magazine. The editor has brought her lack of scientific background and personal prejudices to bear on her work--where it has no place. Every issue is has become a far left opinion piece instead of fact-based story with broad interest. Too bad.

UAInspiring Content, but hundreds of ads National Geographic Channel has been a source of awe-inspiring documentaries and educational content. It is my go-to channel to relax. The visuals are stunning, and the storytelling is both informative and engaging. However, the overall experience is marred by the excessive number of advertisements. The frequency and duration of ads interrupt the flow. Sometimes I even forget what I was watching đŸ˜€ I understand the importance of ads, but it would be good to balance how often you show them.

KZGood work NG! Difficulties with getting our magazines at our foreign address led to our becoming acquainted with Jodie. She has done a smashing job of seeing that things were set right. Cannot say enough about the wonderful, caring, attentive service we've been given as the details were ironed out. Good work National Geographic!!!

AULow quality popscience with no integrity I used to love Nat Geo's magazines and read stacks of old issues almost cover to cover back when I assumed that the content was genuine and scientific. The illusion first shattered when I discovered the "Dog Whisperer" TV show that masqueraded abuse as dog training, and saw that Nat Geo just ignored all the damning critique from highly educated actual behaviour specialists, who implored them to stop the show because it is 1. unscientific, and 2. likely to harm many pet dogs as viewers try to emulate Millan's methods from the popular show. Nat Geo continued the show year after year because the show is popular, and because science, ethics and integrity apparently does not matter... all the sciency gloss is just pretend
