How to Subscribe to Magazines and Newspapers in the App Store

Magazines and newspapers are available in the App Store and function like any other app downloaded to an iPad. This includes the ability to use in-app purchases to subscribe to a magazine or newspaper. Once you download a magazine from the App Store, you can subscribe to it in the magazine’s app. Most magazines and newspapers offer limited free content, so you can check out what you’re getting before you make a purchase.

Where Do the Magazines and Newspapers Go?

Newspapers and magazines you download and subscribe to appear on the iPad Home screen, where you can manage them like any other app. Organize them into folders, place them in the dock, or delete them without doing anything differently. You can also use Spotlight Search to find your magazine or newspaper. As an alternative to subscribing to newspapers through the App Store, use the Apple News app or its premium Apple News Plus service.

It works similar to an Apple Music subscription. As long as your subscription is current, you can read as much as you want. Here’s how to get started with Apple News:
