OYLA Magazine Anmeldelser 

While I normally enjoy reading these magazines (and I know my younger brother does too), I was appalled by a recent article entitled the Darwin Awards. I was familiar with the idea of the Darwin Awards before I read the article, but I couldn’t believe that someone would ever write about them in a magazine, especially one geared toward a younger audience. I found the section to be incredibly distasteful despite the disclaimer that behind each of the stories was a real human life or lives. One of the stories detailed the deaths of something like seven people who all died while trying to save each other from drowning. How can you in good conscience put that in a magazine? How can you put that in a magazine as a joke? At this point in my tirade, I should point out that I’m a junior in high school. I want you to know that, because I want you to think about how a high school junior has more grace than your entire editing team, and I know I am coming off a little harsh here, but do you know what’s harsh? Laughing at poor souls who died in unfortunate accidents. Whether those accidents were caused by the victims or not those people do not deserve to be laughed at. Did you even think about those people’s socioeconomic situations that might have led them to act so brashly? Or did you even think about how one of their surviving family members might have felt to read about them depicted in such a way? For anyone who has read this far, thank you. I don’t have a lot else to say. In a perfect world, Oyla would publish an apology for that article and would act with more grace next time. Next time they thinking about publishing an article that encourages children to act insensitively and apathetically by laughing at the deaths of our fellow members of mankind.

Love this magazine! The articles are pitched perfectly for teens, but interesting and engaging for all. The breadth of topics is varied, and we've been able to use these to compliment school work. Would definitely recommend!!

I think the magazines are great! Me and my sister always check our mailbox to see who can read the latest issue first. The one thing I would change is maybe to include some science experiments or projects that the reader could do. Thank you for reading. Declan Mcconnon

Good content and engaging magazine. Regularly read together with my 12 year old

I strongly recommend the Oyla magazine, as it's full of information about all different topics for all interests and hobbies.
with articles ranging from cities that don't exist to how the left handed survive in a right handed world and about 1-6 pages for each topic I rate Oyla 5/5 stars.

Absolutely love this magazine. A fascinating range of topics covered from the wildly obscure to the everyday and all explained beautifully. I'm delighted with OYLA and cannot recommend it highly enough. Obsessed.

Everything is perfectly orchestrated and put together perfect

I bought the subscription for my grandchild. We read an article whenever he visits. He is always engaged.

My 10-year old can't get enough of this magazine! They are excited when a new month approaches because they know a new issue will be waiting for them in the mailbox soon. They ask to read aloud articles that they find interesting and we even get my very science-averse kiddo interested in what we are learning about. All of the elements (articles, images, graphs, etc) create such a rich experience for curious kids.

Interesting and engaging content across a range of STEM and HASS topics. A great resource for families or teachers. Highly recommend this resource (based on the 1 copy we've received so far). For Christian families, I'd recommend looking over the content with your children and discussing points of differences since this is not a Christian publication.

The content is absolutely wonderful. Every issue has something that sparks his interests, expands his understanding and pushes him to learn more.

Thank you for such a great publication.

I would highly recommend this magazine. I am 13 and I have a thirst for knowledge. This magazine is a great addition to my studies and helps in feeding my inquisitive mind. I am grateful to receive it every month. The contents is packed with knowledge and interesting facts and the length and depth of the magazine is certainly enjoyable. Importantly, it also helps me, my friends and my family get talking about important subjects.

A great magazine filled with articles that the whole family from age 11 to 78 is enjoying and learning from.
This is one magazine that is never recycled because we keep referring back to it and also use it frequently as reference material for school projects.

I love the magazines! Every time I get them, they are the only thing I read. I am only 11, but I understand the articles. The topics are on my level, interesting, and vary a lot. Like one page is a vintage theme while another is more non-fictional looking. I am so glad that my grandma got these for me. Thank you OYLA for creating such good content 😁!

Hi I'm Hux I'm eleven and I really really really love your magazine as soon as I get it I devour it cover to cover when I'm done with it my parents read it too we love discussing your interesting topics and looking at the amazing art thank you so much for putting so much effort into the magazine

From my 7yo:
I love Oyla. Please create a version for 7-12 years - Oyla junior.

Oyla has been great. It has great researched topics and information, but some of it could be a bit complicated for young readers.

Content is pretty good. The online ordering and customer service can be a little confusing.

Quick and satisfactory resolution of a subscription mix-up which allowed my grandson to continue receiving Oyla uninterrupted.

Amazing content, well written, creative with lots of illustrations and thought provoking stories.
