This is Readly
A digital subscription service that offers unlimited, "all-you-can-read" access to thousands of magazines and newspapers in one app.
Our history
The idea for Readly began by a pool in Cyprus in the spring of 2012 when Readly's founder, Joel Wikell, was on vacation with his family. After reading the magazines he had brought with him over and over again, whilst the streaming music in his ears never ran dry, the idea of an app with unlimited access to digital magazine feeds was born. The first string of code was written later that same year, by three developers in a small town called Växjö, in the southern part of Sweden. Readly was launched in Sweden in 2013.
- 2012 - The Växjö office opened and on May 24 the first line of code was written. On December 12 the company was registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
