Readly for Android

Thanks….

I signed up for a free trial in January, used it for 10 minutes, cancelled my subscription, and deleted the app. To my surprise 2 months later I get charged a $10 subscription fee, now with any other app I have had a subscription issue with they refund it, no issue. But Readly responded saying essentially “sorry, we know you don’t use our app any more, but we are keeping your money, and you still have access for a month.” So be extremely careful when deciding to give them any money, or just avoid a bad app and money taken and find an alternative.

Overall I like the app, but wished it had more American magazines. Now I read mostly British magazines. I also have couple issues. One is if I want to read downloaded magazines in airplane mode. The app just doesn’t open, stating that I need to be online. That totally unsat! What’s the purpose of downloading magazines when one cannot read them! Two; the old versions of the the app used to show that the magazine is already downloaded just by looking at the magazine cover. In the new version, one has to select the magazine. I hope they fix both issues, then it would be a great app. Thanks

I have to revise my rating and comment about the Readly app not working. The app quit working for me and I sent emails to Readly US. I got a response from them asking for details. They informed me they were working on the problem. The recent update resolved my problem and the app is now working. I was very pleased with their response

I love this service. If you have just one or two publications that you read per month this is worth it. Especially great if you are using with an Google Mobile Pro or the Surface Pro. Vision impaired I don’t need to use a magnifying glass with this as well.
