TechRadar Reviews 131

Tech Radar keep on sending me pop-ups on my computer screen. I don't think that I am stupid, but I don't know how to get rid of this shit. I would very much appreciate any help on this stupid problem. Anders Svenhed
P.S. I have a brother and a brother in-law who are good friends. Maybe any of these chaps can help a desperat e relative.

Professionally written, no doubt about that. But heavily biased towards Apple products. And therefore untrustworthy. Possibly AI generated content.

They bent their words. The best part is they're on one sided of the coin. I noticed all their article headline are missing leading. They pretend two be fair when reporting the news, but 3/4 of down their news article true colours are shown with all the dark tinted rainbow.
This is 101 for reporting news no?
News articles should report verifiable facts and should not include opinion, bias, or misinformation.

Apparently TecRadar takes some sort of kickbacks from Samsung because if try to criticize Samsung (without profanity, threats, or anything remotely questionable) your post is censored from posting! Definitely will be boycotting this garbage site going forward, already blocked them from my Google feed. My advice to TecRadar is just don't accept comments whatsoever if you are going to be censoring all criticism of companies you take kickbacks from. You will seem a lot less like the big tech authoritarians you actually are. Anyhow happy to contribute to your ONE star review, well deserved!

a scammy website that says he has coupon links for you,
the truth is that the coupons are 100% fake, but they send you to the site themself and get the affiliate money from you.
A true modren day scam.

Just when you think this site couldn't get any worse. I've not been on it for a while, but:

The content is absolutely dreadful. There is nothing of interest to read. Their hatred towards Musk has become very boring now. It's just a bunch of ex-writers with gripes. They should just give up on this and go and find something more constructive instead.

Techradar helped me at first, but now it turns out that a lot of the things they add on their website makes no sense at all.

be careful of their top lists. as they list any software. I think they list the software that pays them. I tried the number one software they recommended for file recovery but the site was a scam and their software doesn't work at all. The software is EaseUS (do not pay for this app) And do not trust anything from Techradar.

Plus they do not have a comment section on their site. The email they list is incorrect as well.

I used to read TechRadar (TR) as one of my prime technology news sources, but in the last few years, their relentless bashing of Microsoft/Windows and deification of Apple has repelled me from them.

Yes, Windows/Microsoft isn't perfect, but neither is Apple. Both systems and platforms appeal to different types of user groups, which means many nuances and complexities to consider when observing them. To do so in the unnuanced, reductive, and embarrassingly fanboyistic way TR does is rather unbecoming of a supposedly reputable news source.

Sadly, though, TR still pop up quite high in my searches whenever I seek reviews of upcoming tech. I just skip them now. Having read the other reviews on here about other cringey practices they partake in, I'm surer my dismissal is a wise choice.

If this is the tech radar doing the reviews on the NUKI lock it must have been a paid advertisement as has no resemblance to what the NUKI does in real life

Techradar is misleading potential customers looking for a Black Friday VPN deal by stating that the likes of Nord, Surfshark etc are giving FREE extra months with their offers whereas they are just giving extra months that you have to pay for and are included in their stated prices...

Biased, superficial and technically inaccurate untrustworthy reporting.. If they used to have any credibility it has now been well and truly compromised.

Many of their writers are known in the industry as 'guns for hire' - who produce negatively slanted or biased articles to manipulate public sentiment on behalf of the biggest names in the tech industry.

It doesn't take long to pick up on this overall technically inaccurate and negative editorial bias.

Seriously? You guys made a 10-minute-read article about how you discovered mono and stereo audio in spotify and then clickbait people with "I improved my audio quality in spotify by 100%🤯🤯"? wth man u wasted my time.

Opened an article on the best Garmin deals and sales for August 2024. The Article was publish on the 1st August

The models they list are all archived products by Garmin. None of them are current models. For example, the Forerunner 935 and Vivosmart were was launched in 2017. forerunner 645 in 2018.
There are some that were launched in 2021, but these also have been replaced.

If they are going show products, at least make sure they are not archived models that have been replaced multiple times.

Perhaps its because they get affiliated payments from Amazon, in which case their is bias towards money and not giving the best advice, price and products.

If you are looking for a deal on a current model the Epix Pro 47mm (Gen 2) sapphire is available at AMJ Watches for £479. This is a current model normally over £800

There I've given better deal information that Tech Radar!!!!!

Amazon extension with poor editorial, amateurish almost.

There are so many adds on the site that it has become unreadable. Visiting the site is like being in a cloud of gnats. I spend far more time closing ads than reading the article. Site is worthless because of it.
