A celebratory wave swept across the offices of Magzter around the world as the global team watched the newsstand’s user base notch the 22 million mark. The swift escalation in the number of users transacting through the Magzter store can be attributed to several reasons among which its easy-to-use interface and access to over 4,500 magazines, 25,000+ books and comics in 40 languages ranks the highest.
The Magzter platform was created to facilitate easy access to a variety of publications with a single touch on any smart device through Apple iOS, Android, Windows 8 and the web. Powered by its proprietary OREY Click Publishing(R) System, which enables publishers to include interactive/audio-visual content in the magazine as it supports HTML 5, Magzter has turned into the dream of every publication house with the overhead costs.
Its unmatched digital content delivery model and aspects like real time reporting, a seamless social recommendation engine, single sign on, and now the reach to more than 22 million users, reaffirms Magzter as the unanimous choice of publishers and digital consumers alike. Users can buy magazines on any smart device/phone/ tablet devices/platforms and seamlessly port their purchases to any other devices, a feature unique to Magzter.
In just over three years Magzter has successfully brought onto its newsstand, small, medium and large publishers; new and well established ones too, proving that its intrinsic features will deliver as promised. Registered subscribers on Apple, Android devices and on the web will get their electronic issues pushed to their devices automatically when the new issues are available. Magzter has generated an evolving global eco-system of publishers and readers which takes the brand to new locations and audiences in a short span of time.
“We are thrilled, honoured and so very pleased to be at the 22 million users mark; but we are certainly not resting at this milestone.
