Our verdict on Readly
Readly is a digital subscription service for magazines and newspapers, aimed at readers who want a broad magazine selection and the option to share access. The catalog spans multiple publishers and includes current and back issues, so it suits people who read magazines regularly rather than those seeking a general-news-only service. Readly is available on web, iOS and Android, with reading on mobile, tablet and desktop. Its fixed monthly subscription includes the titles available in the chosen subscription and supports up to five profiles and devices.
The published plan is Readly subscription at £12.99 per month, with unlimited access to magazines and newspapers, offline reading and five user profiles. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan after the trial. The subscription price and offers depend on location, and the catalog varies by country. That makes the monthly fee easier to justify for readers who will explore a range of titles or share the account; it is a less natural fit for people who only want occasional access to general news.
The combination of current and back issues with downloads is the service's clearest distinction for magazine readers: titles can be downloaded for offline reading, and access extends across mobile, tablet and desktop. Shared profiles also give a household a way to use one subscription while keeping separate profile access. Readly is a sensible pick for frequent magazine readers who value back issues and shared access. Readers focused mainly on general news, or those unwilling to pay a recurring fee, should consider a different approach to reading instead.
