HOW SURE ARE WE
Lower confidence: this app ranks below the overall top 50 everywhere, where single estimates can be off 2 to 4 times. The range is wide on purpose. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ and then they will tell you that to cancel the subscription you need to login on the website!!!
★★★★★ the most difficult account to cancel a subscription from that I've ever encountered
★★★★★ it's saying I don't have an account.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • when Readly decided to amalgamate they should have insisted on keeping the use of the puzzle magazines and not the Mickley mouse puzzles now on the app. 1★, Sep 21, 2026
  • I want to be able to do all the puzzles in the newspaper. 2★, Sep 6, 2026
  • I've been able to cancel my subscriptions and the ones I want as paper ie crafts, I can look on here first to see if I want to buy it this month. 5★, Aug 14, 2026
  • Surely when introducing such a feature, subscribers should have an option to turn it on or turn if off. 1★, Jun 26, 2026
  • Please bring back the previous design that 'worked' 2★, Jun 15, 2026
  • need more selection of English newspapers. 2★, May 5, 2026
  • This is a nice service although I wish there were more North American magazines and newspapers. 4★, May 4, 2026
  • please bring back the old version, really struggling with this one 2★, May 2, 2026

What users say

Latest reviews, United Kingdom Google Play.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Completely user unfriendly. Currently reading option frequently disappears. Navigation cumbersome. Clearing read items becomes tortuous.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026

Great app for magazine but if you unsubscribe you can't look at magazines that you downloaded whilst subscribed.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026

love your free complimentary trials. wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. appreciated thank you

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026

Excellent

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026

avoid it!!! it's a scam app making you to subscribe to them and then when you want to cancel it, they will redirect you to Google play from the app, where you won't find their subscription on the list. so now you leave it thinking it won't extend just to find out later that they will charge your card directly!!! and then they will tell you that to cancel the subscription you need to login on the website!!! so why your app is redirecting to the bloody Google store then???

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026

Impossible to Cancel When you click cancel it takes you to your Play store subscriptions, rather than canceling. Readly doesn't show there. Their customer service were super fast to respond, but completely unhelpful, just told me to claim it back from my credit card. When I selected "edit subscription" I got an error saying "you can't cancel due to a technical error". Total scam and completely fails to adhere to the incoming Consumer Legislation re canceling subscriptions.
