Texture vs. Readly vs. Magzter

So I love, love to read magazines - especially in the summer. I have been paying for Texture through our phone service provider for awhile now and although I have enjoyed it - I miss the fact that there aren't really any Card or Scrapbook magazines or photography magazines. So I stumbled upon Readly and Magzter and thought I'd try them both. So here is what my opinion is. Magzter offers way more magazines then Readly however, I don't like the set up for Magzter. For instance if I am on my ipad and search through "animals" there is no way to eliminate the different language magazines. Therefore I have to go through all of them - and there is a lot. However, Readly is missing PEOPLE magazine which is the reason I started with Texture in the first place. But I also miss the Card magazines and tend to buy them anyways. Also not all title are available at one time on Magzter - for instance you have to have the "Gold" edition but there are some titles you can't see. Magzter definitely has the better selection however, I am not sure my OCD is going to be okay going through some 2000 magazines everytime I want to download something.
