Too Many Magazines, Too Little Time? There’s an App for That: Longform for iPad
The phrase TiVo guilt might strike a chord with some readers, but what about New Yorker Guilt? If you have stacks of magazines that you never find the time to read, or dropped subscriptions because you never read the magazine (and grew tired of being pestered to renew as soon as you subscribed), then Longform is for you.
To use a potentially dated print mag metaphor, Longform is a digital Utne Reader. Longform.org’s editors choose articles for the Longform feed. A reader can add additional subscriptions to a wide range of publications including the New Yorker, Esquire, Businessweek, and the Atlantic to customize her feed.
