Few things are more satisfying than the escapism found in perusing a good magazine – whether you’re after fashion inspiration, recipe ideas, health and fitness tips or an insight into the world of interiors.

Nowadays, though, it’s so easy to squander our well-earned downtime aimlessly scrolling our social media feeds that relaxing with a magazine can feel like a thing of the past. But thanks to Readly, the all-you-can-read digital subscription service, you can enjoy more than 5,000 digital magazines at your fingertips.

Running the gamut from specialist sporting publications to trendy glossies and travel bibles, Readly’s offering is comprehensive – and is sure to have a great selection for everyone. Here’s what you need to know...

How does Readly work?

It’s simple. All new users who sign up will get to enjoy one month free and will be charged just £7.99 per month after that.

Subscribers will have access to both the current and previous issues of thousands of magazine titles easily from their device. There’s even the ability to download content to access offline so you don’t have to worry about losing you connection on long journeys. Plus, if your family want in on the action, one Readly account can be shared with up to five people.

What can I read?

More than 5,000 magazines from the UK’s leading publishers. Fashionistas can get their teeth into Vogue, Elle and Grazia, while tech fans can get their geek on with Wired, iCreate, T3 and more. If food is your passion, discover great recipes and tips from the likes of BBC Good Food, Vegan Food & Living, and delicious.

Those looking to cultivate their hobbies can also find plenty of great reading options, whether it’s Cycling Weekly for keen riders, Coding For Beginners or Amateur Gardening. What's more, these diverse titles represent just the tip of the iceberg. Browse Readly's full selection of titles here.

How much can I read?

With Readly, your subscription entitles you to unlimited reading across all of its thousands of titles, so there’s no need to feel restricted to certain genres.

If, for example, one month you happen to be interested in learning your way around the fancy camera you bought but never use, there are a range of titles to explore – including The Ultimate Photography Masterclass and Digital SLR Photography. Or, if one night you fancy cooking up a vegan dinner, you can browse Readly’s plentiful food options. Discover more Readly benefits here.
