One of the big plusses to the Next Issue system is that as long as you subscribe you will have access to back issues as well as the current ones. Next Issue adds that standard navigation to let you do things like jump to a section and navigate the pages. Deal-breaker, probably not for most people.Īs mentioned earlier, the magazines in Next Issue are basically the same as the stand alone apps, but wrapped in standard navigation and all in one app. It's more of an Amazon Kindle model - meaning you have to go to the Next Issue web site to subscribe and manage your subscription, you can't do it through the app. The current release of Next Issue doesn't support Apple's In-App Purchase program. What we've seen so far, we can highly recommend it for magazine junkies. We got a chance to take a pre-release version of the Next Issue app through it's paces. If you subscribe to multiple of the 40 magazines they offer in the app, the subscription to Next Issue might even save you money. They even include a big chunk of back issues.Īvailable in two different subscription models, you can subscribe to just the monthly magazines for $9.99/month for the Basic plan or include the weekly magazines for $14.99/month total, the Premium plan. And the really nice part, it's available in one subscription price, all you can read pricing. Next Issue says that their app will be able to keep most of the interactive features from the standalone apps. Next Issue has combined multiple publications like Time, Sports Illustrated, New Yorker, and Wired and put them all into one single app. While Next Issue is trying to make the best of the tablet formatted versions and releasing them in a new, more consumer-friendly way. Neither method is really selling amazingly well and each have their positives and negatives.

There are two current methods publishers are trying, simple PDF versions wrapped in an app, and content re-formatted and laid out specifically for tablet screens. No one has really figured out the magic formula for publishing traditionally print magazines on tablets.
