Price rising but still worth it
Love Readly although pricing has moved from £7 to £12 over the time that I have been a subscriber. Still pretty good value.

Great app, very reliable and smooth to load, absolute bargain if you used to be a regular paper/magazine buyer.
Yes they don’t feature every publication you want but the variety is ample and sufficient.

I signed up for Readly’s free 3-month…
I signed up for Readly’s free 3-month trial, used the app twice to read two magazines, and decided it wasn’t for me. I cancelled the subscription and genuinely believed it had been cancelled. Despite this, I was later charged £12.99.
This charge is a big deal for me. I already struggle to make ends meet with the cost of living, so an unexpected payment like this really matters. I contacted Readly twice, explaining that I don’t use the service and asking for a refund and for my account to be deactivated.
Both replies I received were identical copy-and-paste emails stating that they don’t offer refunds and that I “didn’t cancel the subscription.” There was no effort to investigate, no understanding, and no empathy at all.
This company seems far more interested in taking money than treating customers fairly. Very poor customer service and a really disappointing experience. I strongly wouldn’t recommend Readly.

We’re sorry to hear this. We'd like to clarify that the free trial automatically renews if not cancelled, as stated during sign-up, and refunds aren’t offered once payment is processed. We can see that our support team tried to offer a goodwill solution, but this was declined. We appreciate the feedback and thank you for your understanding.
Highly recommended
A world of information and entertainment in one place. Easy to navigate, back issues available for all magazines and the ability to share with the family. All for less than the cost of a daily newspaper. Several of which are included. I am very happy with this app and am happy to recommend Readly UK.
