Next Issue Is Ah-May-Zeen! You Gotta Try It

Let me confess: I am one of those people who sometimes stand on the busiest line at the grocery store, just so I can browse through magazines. I don’t do this when I’m in a hurry, of course. At home, I subscribe to only two magazines: O Magazine and Elle. And I enjoy every page on them.

However, just like my blog, which is a little bit of everything, my life is kind of the same. I love so many things, so my two subscriptions just aren’t enough. I want to read about style, parenthood (no, I’m not pregnant), entrepreneurship, celebrity gossip, international news, and so much more. So yeah, Elle and O Magazine are not enough.

Then the gods of magazines smiled upon me and introduced me to Next Issue, a tablet app for iOS, Android, and Windows. This app is ridiculous. As in! It has 93 popular magazines like Time Magazine, Allure, Brides, Essence, Better Home & Garden, People, Vogue, and Vanity Fair, and you can get all of them every month for a little price.

For $9.99 a month, you can get 84 magazines every single month (Unlimited Basic). But for $14.99 a month, you get all 93 magazines (Premium). I want you to think about this for a second – okay, two seconds: where on earth do you pay $14.99 for 93 freaking magazines?

So I logged on to see what this app is all about, and I encountered the best problem ever: what magazine should I read first? Oh, and I have access to all 93 of the magazines. But it gets better – and this is my favorite feature. Not only can you read the current edition, but you can also read the older editions. For example, I started by downloading the People Style Watch August 2013 edition, but if I wanted to, I could have downloaded it up to January 2012. Crrraaazzzyyy!

I’ll have to say that my second favorite feature so far is the ability to click on virtually everything, even an ad. Yes, you may call me a simple person. Usually, I’ll be standing in line and pulling out a pen and paper to write down a website I’m interested in, so I can visit it at home. Also, this app is extremely easy to use. One tap is all it takes to add or remove a magazine from your library. And you can have the app on up to five devices. Sweeeeet!

I’m bouncing off the wall right now with all the things I can do with this app. And I’m so grateful to Next Issue for choosing me for this opp. I absolutely love this app.

Try this app out for yourself — and it’s absolutely FREE for 30 days. What magazines will you download first?
