Texture’s Windows magazine app shutting down following Apple acquisition

Texture — the digital magazine subscription service recently acquired by Apple — will be shutting down its Windows app at the end of June. The Verge notes that Windows users have been informed via e-mail and an in-app note that indicates that the app “will stop working and will no longer be available in the Microsoft Store” after June 30th.

Texture’s Windows magazine app shutting down following Apple acquisition

Texture’s Android, Amazon Fire, and iOS apps are unaffected by this, however, suggesting that this is likely not about cutting off non-Apple users so much as retiring an app that appears to have been poorly maintained for years. The Verge report notes that the app hasn’t been updated in a long time, and the app’s reviews on the Windows Store consist mostly of users complaining about how poorly the app works, and how in some cases they can’t even download magazines — from an app whose entire reason for existence is to allow users to download magazines.
Texture has posted a note on its website simply stating that “To keep things working smoothly, older versions of the app sometimes need to be retired” and advising users that their subscription will still be available on “compatible phones or tablets running iOS or Android and on Fire HD tablets,” including all of their selected favourites.
