Readly is a digital subscription service that offers unlimited access to over 7,000 magazines and newspapers for a monthly fee. It allows users to read current and past issues across various genres on smartphones, tablets, or desktops. The service supports up to five user profiles per account and includes offline reading. It's ideal for avid readers looking for a wide range of publications in one convenient app.
From daily news to weekend reads and far more niche interests, it’s all in one place and there’s no stacks of paper required.
The 2-month free trial means you’re covered well into summer, and there’s no strings or contract, so you can cancel your subscription anytime.
Checking out the word-of-mouth, users of the platform seem to be sold by the choice.
And while some shoppers felt the platform was a little confusing to navigate, and some browsers took a while to load, others have shared some pretty positive 5-star reviews.
‘This is the best app I have,’ one very happy shopper, Clinton Friend, wrote on Trustpilot, and added: ‘It’s so easy on my tablet and great to take away anywhere I like. The biggest benefit is you can have the app on more devices I think 4/5 but we have it on 3 devices…’
Another user named Howie described the platform as ‘epic’ (but did note his device was starting to ‘complain’), while Julian Blackmore wrote: ‘Access to many different magazines and journals for a fraction of the cost of hardcopy or a regular subscription. Also, the electronic format makes it much easier to make and save high quality copies of articles I find particularly interesting and wish to refer to later.’
The app has got a bunch of content for a range of interests, whether you’re getting stuck into DIY, looking for ways to spruce up the garden, or need some travel inspiration in mags like Wanderlust and National Geographic Traveller.
Plus, one account gives you up to five profiles, so everyone in the family can get stuck into something they love. We did mention it was for free, too, right?
All you need to do is download the app to start reading instantly. You can access your favourite titles online or offline, and since there’s no contract and you can cancel anytime (so there’s zero pressure to stick around after your trial ends, just sayin’).
Whether you’re relaxing in the garden, commuting, or just taking a break with a cuppa, now’s the perfect time to give Readly a try as our imminent summer reading obsession peeks its head over the horizon…
