Where Does Readly Store Downloaded Magazines?
Readly subscription magazines cached offline with account sync.
Last updated
Readly caches subscribed magazines in app private storage for offline reading, with the subscription, favorites and reading history on the account. Thousands of titles stream; pinned issues persist.
The subscription gates the cache: lapses lock downloads even when files remain briefly. Each device downloads separately. Reinstalls restore favorites on login while issues refetch on Wi-Fi.
Where Readly stores this, by platform
App-private storage (magazines downloaded in-app)
Pin issues for offline before travel. Clearing app data drops the cache; favorites and history return on sign in. Family profiles share the subscription, not downloads.
App sandbox (magazines downloaded in-app)
Same subscriber cache on iPhone and iPad. Deleting the app clears downloads while the account keeps favorites. Renew before long offline stretches.
Frequently asked questions
can I keep Readly magazines as PDF files
No. Downloads are licensed in-app cache for offline reading under subscription. For permanent copies buy single issues where publishers sell them.
do Readly downloads work without subscription
No. Cached issues need active membership to open. Keep the subscription current for travel reading.
