I can borrow magazines from our public library through an app called Libby. These are free with my library card.
I had a subscription to Texture but Apple bought them out. I like the magazines but I don't like the Apple News + format. The Texture App worked much better. I've read complaints from people who feel the same way I do about the Apple format. Yes this one costs $10 a month. I used to buy a lot of printed magazines so actually I'm saving money with the subscription. If I continued buying print magazines it would cost me a lot more. Of course I could stop buying printed magazines but I probably wouldn't. Now I have the apps so I don't need to buy print magazines. I used to have stacks of magazines all over my room. When we moved I got rid of many boxes of them. Now my room is uncluttered and I'm sticking to the online apps. If the Apple one doesn't get any better I might cancel.
Today I explored a magazine app that is fascinating. It's from Stockholm, Sweden filled with magazines from all over the world. Plus one can read them in many languages. The app is called Readly. I found Guideposts and their Angel magazines on there plus a lot of art and watercolors magazines. They even had crossword puzzle magazines that I can actually work once I learn how to use it. I found The Writer magazine that I was thinking about subscribing to.
You know those big glossy how to magazines that cost almost $20 that teach us how to use the Ipad pro, Google for Seniors, Using the Iphone, how to use the Android, how to use Instagram and much more? There are a bunch of these I can read on Readly. I got a trial subscription for 99 cents for a month so I'll see how it goes. I think I'll drop CBS all access because I really don't like it or watch it. These magazine apps are so much more interesting.
Ok, I'm going back to exploring my Readly App now. It might take awhile, so if you don't see me online you'll know why.
