## What is KANDY Magazine?

A Note From Our Founder and Editor in Chief,
Hello! Welcome to Kandy Magazine. First, thank you to the 1% who clicked  ...more. When I founded Kandy 14 years ago, I had a simple mission - deliver a new kind of men's magazine. A magazine which was more visual than words. Our first 2012 iPad issue delivered. A year later our first iPhone issue raised the bar. We told stories visually more than textually. We were a hit!

In our early years, we kept to this vision, consistently publishing pictorials which told the story. A photo and a cute blurb or brief caption. As we grew in popularity - yes it is true that in 2014 we were the most popular magazine in the app store, more popular than People, Cosmo, Men's Health and GQ - higher profile celebrities desired the exposure Kandy delivered. To accommodate, we moved away from our fun, creative visual magazine towards your traditional, boring editorial magazine. That was our first mistake. 

Shortly thereafter, the new layout caught the attention of potential ad reps who advised we tone down the sexy and increase the text in articles. That was our second mistake. It did not take long for our readership to drop and our global audience as well. 

To be fair, our decline was not all self-induced. In our rocket ship rise to the top of the app store rankings, we maximized Apple's newsstand app exposure. It was where you went to discover magazines, much in the way when you would walk into a bookstore or by a street vendor magazine newsstand. It showed the current cover of the most recent issue and with our magazine covers who would not be intrigued to check out Kandy. However, in a perfect storm of events outside our influence, big publishers sold their private newsstand app to Apple which led to what you know today as News+. Only in News+ can you see magazine covers without having to download. It is why News+ has taken over the magazine business on Apple devices. Hey, it is their playground. They get to set the rules. We are not in News+.

Starting now, we are returning to our photo story issues. More girls, more photos, less words. What you wanted in the beginning and what you want today. We are not an adult magazine, there is no nudity. Our photos are classic glamour, bikini swimsuit and lingerie. I hope you enjoy Kandy.

Kandy is for men who enjoy Live Sports events, fitness and exercise programs combined with men's fashion and style. Get Kandy magazine and join as a subscriber to the magazine app digital content. 

Oh, if you are only fans of NFL football or enjoy MLB, NHL and NBA games and scores as well, Kandy magazine has all your live sporting interests covered.

A Kandy man enjoys a wide range of topics and Kandy delivers what you need. We cover current trends for men's fashion and the hottest Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Patek Philippe watches men are buying.

### 5/5 — Sexy Women and Men’s Style - Love it

*2025-06-23*

Great new direction Kandy. The Kandy models are hot girls but the new emphasis on sexy, classy women is a nice step up. Changing your editorial content to focus on men’s style was overdue. I look forward to more men’s fashion features. The cars and trucks review are solid as always. Would love to see more tech, gear and gadgets outside of the Apple Watch, iPhones, iPads and Macs articles. There are other tech and gear companies. If you can find men’s health or men’s fitness expert that would complete my editorial preferences. Maybe you can visit a local gym and find a personal trainer who can provide exercises and workout tips. Whatever you do, please keep featuring the beautiful women of the world.  Thanks.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-03-24*

The magazine young men heard about from their dads. Hot girls. Over the top sports features. Amazing throwback to 90s MAXIM, FHM, STUFF and Playboy. Every issue reminds me of the SI Swimsuit issue from the 90s and early 2000s. And it appears all those OnlyFans models appeared in Kandy before turning to slutville OnlyFans. See these girls before they became OnlyFans sluts. When they knew you could be sexy and classy.

**Developer response:** thank you
