### 1/5 — Misleading subscription info

*2026-04-12, version 7.16.1*

The app is very misleading. I thought my subscription had been cancelled but they have still been taking the payments.

### 1/5 — Lost mags

*2026-04-11, version 7.16.1*

Was working great, 5 stars, but then some mags in the UK (I live elsewhere) have stopped showing. Owners say they have changed nothing. People in UK say they see the mags. Main reason I use Readly now useless. Update: Readly say here that it’s the Cafeyn acquisition and some titles are no longer however in my region. However the owner of the mag says they never changed anything and should be worldwide. Note Readly support never replied to my queries, only here where it is public and affects reviews

### 5/5 — Readly Review

*2026-04-06, version 7.16.1*

I’ve been on Readly now for a couple of years and it’s nothing short of epic. Such variety, easy to navigate and that variety broadens one’s horizons. In short, great value that puts a smile on my aging 61yr old face each time I open the App.

### 5/5 — Best subscription I have

*2026-04-04, version 7.16.1*

I’ve had a Readly subscription for years now and can honestly say it’s a great value App..  There are literally hundreds of magazines at your fingertips, saving money and the environmental impact of printed material.  I love that I can bookmark my favourite recipes to come back to later, and hope that we are not going to lose this facility in the next upgrade.
I definitely recommend this app for any magazine readers.

### 1/5 — Really poor.

*2026-04-04, version 7.16.1*

Magazines take an age to load. Minutes before I can read. Wi-Fi isn’t a problem as no other app has this problem. Simply not good enough. Sack the developers and get people in that know what they’re doing.

### 1/5 — Been OK until now…

*2026-04-04, version 7.16.1*

The back button on the top left of the App which is essential for navigation is now largely useless. I keep trying to press it on my iPad with maybe 1 hit in 10. It needs sorting ASAP…….

### 3/5 — Explore page not showing magazine section

*2026-04-03, version 7.16.1*

I just updated the app and now when i search for a celebrity on the explore page, it’s only returning articles. It used to show a magazine section where all magazines that mentioned the celebrity appears. Did you remove that feature on the search results?

### 3/5 — Enjoy the content but app is glitchy

*2026-03-20, version 7.16.1*

Absolutely love the variety of magazines and that you can access magazines from different countries.

However, I find the app can be glitchy. It repeatedly crashes / freezes when I’m flicking through magazines. If I come out and go back in, it resets to the home page so I have to go and look for the magazine I was originally reading. This seems to be when I initially open the app and lasts for 10 minutes or so. 

I would also love if the little tick stayed on there no matter how long ago you read the magazine so you know it’s one you’ve read. I find if I don’t renew my subscription or I’ve not logged in for a while, it loses the ticks so I don’t know what I have and haven’t read.

### 3/5 — It seems bugged now

*2026-03-10, version 7.15.0*

This app used to be great but now it seems to have a range of buggy issues. My magazines don’t keep their place if I leave the app. The exit arrow skips about oddly. Hope it gets sorted soon.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-07, version 7.15.0*

I won a 6 month subscription to this app in a McDonalds competition - and so glad I did! I will definitely be renewing when the time comes. It’s great being able to read newspapers and magazines from all over the world. And I’ve saved $$$ by not buying magazines.
I mainly use it on my Android tablet, but works well on my iPhone too, meaning I can catch up on reading anywhere.
