Ratings and reviews

Thought I might let a review to explain how this works. This is basically a collection of digitalised history magazines, which you can pay a fee for, or a monthly subscription to read. There is no free content as far as I could see.

App itself is very limited, not many display options which is fine on a 10inch tablet but text would likely be too big on a phone. Magazine itself is good value for money and each month covers a variety of subjects. Would prefer to access the magazine through something like Readly.

quaility app reader with a dark background and good font making it easy to read. Subscription cheap for what you get (access to all magazines digitally). Would give 5 stars if I was able to read the articles on my laptop aswell through the subscription but other than that very good app
