Readly App

[deleted79651]

It takes me all my time reading my ebooks stock [1 chapter per night, and have to read the last 3 pages about 5 or 6 times because I fall asleep repeatedly ...]. I tend to get Google Vouchers as birthday presents etc and will buy a complete series by a new [to me] author from Google Playbooks or from Kobo; now within striking distance of the finishing line for Ann Cleeves and her Shetland series of Jimmy Perez novels.

Has anyone else subscribed to the Readly App being advertised at the moment on this site. I read a lot of magazines each month, as does my wife on a range of subjects and hobbies. We spend a fair amount either on cover price or subscriptions. So I took a look at it on App Store where the purchase price is £9.99 a month. read all the reviews which were very positive and decided to give it a go.
I took out the MotorhomeFun subscription for £7.99 and first month free and have only been using it for a week so far. I have to say I am amazed by it. It’s like Spotify for magazines and newspapers. There are literally thousands on there all with back issues. All the motorhome ones, landy, photography, cooking, gardening, ones I normally get, morning papers. You can set it up on 5 different devices for the one subscription, so both me and Mrs Norfolk have it on iPad and phone. For a family you could have one subscription and you could all have your own profile for your own magazines. It sets up favourites and alerts for new copies.
I really really am impressed With this. I am waiting for the catch. Doesn’t seem to be one yet. All this for £7.99 a month. Saved me a fortune.

No catch, I have been using it since 2019 and the great thing about it is that you can have up to 5 people access your subscription at no extra cost, so my wife, son and daughter and granddaughter can all read their own mags of interest.

I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks now,it is cheaper than my old newspaper subscription plus loads of magazines.
I don’t like reading it on the iPhone as it doesn’t fill the screen properly but works well on ipad

Hi Norfolk Nige can you tell me what newspaper you have access too please.

Sounds s worthwhile subscription.

Hi Norfolk Nige can you tell me what newspaper you have access too please.

Sounds s worthwhile subscription.

clanjones it has Guardian, independent, standard, mirror, star, observer, mail, express, Scottish, Welsh and Irish versions of the above. French, German, Spanish papers etc. magazines number in their hundreds I guess. The full range of motorhome, caravan, camper and camping, walking, photography, cooking, motoring, lifestyle, hobbies and crafts, nature, birdwatching.
in fact I haven’t found a magazine that is not on there. The subscription I have through mhf does not have a tie in, so if I don’t like it I can cancel at any time.

Norfolk Nige thanks for such a comprehensive reply. I think I'll give it a go!

I've subscribed for a few years. The great thing which I like is that we both have different interests, I can use the laptop while my wife uses her tablet reading different magazines. Not only do you get British magazines but you can get content from many different countries, not only the latest but going back 2,3 or even 4 years in some cases

Norfolk Nige can I ask a silly question please. Went through the subscription process but it isn't clear to me what the subscription cost is.

Can you confirm it is £7.99 as it seemed to indicate that it was £9.99!

 

[Otter Spotter]

It’s £7.99 per month and you can permit up to 5 people access so it’s well worth it.

I think it's a debate that will go on for some time and a lot of work has been done in this area. Interesting podcast on the BBC, Life Scientific with a guy call Derk-Jan Dijk, a professor of sleep and physiology. The conversation about light and sleep starts at 14:30 mins

The Life Scientific - Derk-Jan Dijk on the importance of sleep - BBC Sounds

How does sleep change as we age? Derk-Jan Dijk talks to Jim Al-Khalili.

Another subscription taken out! Found some of my favourite mags in seconds, so I can read them each month and scour the back issues!

Brilliant! Thanks for the tip!
