CLUSTER MAGAZINES-DIGITAL-NEWSPAPERS · 28 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-06-16

Digital newsstand and magazine apps

This cluster consists of mobile and tablet apps that let users browse, download, and read digital editions of newspapers, magazines, and periodicals, often with offline access and subscription options. Entries begin in May 2010 and continue through June 2024, with the majority of dated entries concentrated between 2010 and 2014 and only occasional later additions. The traction leaders are Readwhere: E-paper & Magazines, ePresse : presse et magazines, and Cafeyn - News & magazines, each with zero stars in the activity signal.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
