About this app

Blendle gives you unparalleled access to the best journalism that’s out there. From the moment you wake up, until you’re ready to go to bed.

Follow New York Times reporters, every step of their way in revealing the truth. Read up on pop culture, fashion, and current affairs with Vanity Fair. Dive into the iconic covers of TIME Magazine, to understand the events that shape our world. Go beyond the headline, with award winning journalism from The New Yorker. Or be at the center of every trade, with The Wall Street Journal.

But you don’t have time to go over all of these newspapers and magazines yourself.

Finding great stories is what gets our human editors up in the middle of the night. They read everything. Front to back, with no room for clickbait. This leads to a daily hand-picked selection of articles, from a wide variety of sources.

Then, our algorithm works its magic. Combining the stories we feel everyone should read, with a personalized selection that’s just for you. We give you an explanation with each recommendation, to help you understand why a particular story matters.

Follow your curiosity, and flip through current and past issues of your favorite magazines. You could also search our entire archive, containing millions of articles.

In the Netherlands, Blendle is offered as a subscription, called Blendle Premium. Premium comes with so much more! Follow our signature Blendle Collections, featuring timeless pieces, all sorted by topic.


And since we know you’ve got places to go, you can listen to most of the articles too. Listen to them in the comfort of your own car, or during a nice run through the park. Always read by world-class narrators.

With Blendle, you support all of your favorite journalists too, so they can start working on their next great piece.

Ratings and reviews

The app runs well and I enjoy the content. My complaint is with the options present when selecting a word. Why is the default long press menu gone? Copy, share, select all? Where is the more options icon? Half of the utility of this app for me is being able to read media in foreign languages and this removes the ability to quickly look up words. Ridiculous and unnecessary.

The Blende audio often doesn't want to load (gives an error), or plays an older version without any way to play the newest content. For example, in the afternoon content in plays the morning content, even after stopping the app and clearing the cache. When it works, it's a nice app. But unfortunately too buggy

I really like the idea and previously the App was working fine. However, for some reason it does not show any articles in the "for you" section anymore (Browser and App). Already wrote the support couple of weeks ago (which seems to understand English only). No response yet. Seems like they are not concentrating on the German market anymore and have some other focus. So I spent all my last credits on some articles fearing that the service may be completey be stopped at some point.
