Readly app - Car and Evo missing?
Discussion
I can still see EVO. Car went along with Top Gear over Christmas. Modern Classics used to be on there too.
If they remove any more I'll probably cancel Readly as it really isn't acceptable to just ditch them (and all the previous issues). Excuses in the past have been "It doesn't meet the magazines future publishing plans" - but quite simply they have lost a reader as this is now my preferred format and I wont be buying the paper issue.

Readly are sneaky - they do drop mags on the quiet every now and then.
However as you can cancel/rejoin your contract as often as you want, i tend to only subscribe when going on holiday or business travel (Iong flights etc).
Between trips, i cancel, then load up iPad and IPhone with content for the holiday, and cancel on my return.
Guess i only pay about 3-4 times a year?

I've just signed up to the 3 month free trial - it looks an absolute bargain or am i missing something?
There is an overwhelming amount of content - I keep thinking I might be better off cancelling Readly and spending the same money on a couple of subs to physical magazines and actually taking my time reading them from cover to cover rather than flicking through 10-20 different virtual mags.Truckosaurus said:

I'm surprised the magazines are OK with this - it's hard to see how they make any money out of it.It's great for me because I was subscribing to magazines and not getting a chance to read them. Also it lets you flick through magazines that you wouldn't necessarily buy.
I'm a big fan of Readly. I've had my sub a year or so now and have no plans to cancel. It's an absolute bargain, even more so when you consider the sub includes up to 5 users across 5 devices so it's a family membership, effectively.
Every magazine we would normally buy is on there, and you get some really good "one off" stuff as well both automotive and non. There was a good publication on the rise and fall of coal mining of all things which I read from (virtual) cover to cover.
The app itself is brilliant as well. Slick and easy to navigate and use, and with a handy ability to download and save issues to the device for offline reading is really handy when travelling.
One of the standout apps and services in recent years, IMO.

A note for anyone looking at Readly - it's going up to £9.99 a month shortly. They also say they've added over 1400 new titles in the last year.
Doesn't mention what they've had to remove but I assume the overall numbers of what's on there is up.
Still worth a tenner a month to me - that's still literally less than 2 magazines.

Car and Evo magazines are both available on the Libby app at a price of £0/month with a library card (also free!)
(There’s also Press Reader and Borrowbox for magazines and ebooks / audiobooks respectively)
Not all libraries support all these apps but I think most include Libby these days.
It might be worth digging out the old library card…
