Kono is a magazine aggregator, which offers access to a wide variety of publications in multiple languages—primarily Chinese and Japanese, although there is a growing amount of magazines in other languages, too! The incredible amount of high-resolution, diverse content is what truly sets Kono apart from similar apps and services; there’s literally something for everybody. I was never a big magazine reader, but Kono has completely changed that; instead of the ridiculous proposition of paying $5 for a single magazine that I will half-read and throw away, with Kono I pay a fraction of that and have an entire world’s worth of constantly-updating content on the go (I can’t recommend this enough if you’re a commuter or you consume any amount of media on your mobile device). I also have to say, I am extremely satisfied with the company’s reception to subscriber feedback and proactive self-improvement, as the app has been getting better and better since I’ve had it. I truly believe that this is the best value for digital media available today.

I love this app. As a learner of Mandarin Chinese, I find a huge section of material to practice my ability to read Chinese. At such a reasonable price, this is one of the best resources I can find for new reading material to practice Mandarin with.
