DISCOVERCreate a fashion magazine app
Fashion magazine app: your issues and trend reports, sold by subscription
Readers leaf through your features on their phone, pay once through their store account to read the trend reports in full, and are told the minute an issue is out.
Your fashion magazine as a native iOS and Android app, made without a line of code: open and locked articles, a seasonal trends section for paying readers, ads for everyone else, and a push for each issue.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
The trend report, for subscribers
Colors, materials, silhouettes: your forecast for the season, in a reserved section
Ahead of each fashion week season, publish your forecast in a section of its own: the colors to watch, the fabrics, the silhouettes, illustrated with your photos and moodboards. Lock it for subscribers and leave the opening readable by all, cut off at the paragraph you pick. On release day, an automatic push spreads the word; whoever subscribes for this report also unlocks every past season.
Your issues in sections, open or locked article by article
Runway reviews, street style, interviews: you choose what stays open
Lay the magazine out as you would in print: runway reviews, street style, beauty, interviews, shopping. Each article is either open or locked, and a badge in the magazine's colors flags the locked ones. Subscriptions open once ten pieces are locked; paying readers then have the whole title, on the phone and in the browser version.
Two revenues: advertising and subscriptions
Non-paying readers get the ads, paying readers a clean page
Fashion lives on advertising: sell your own campaigns through the internal ad server, or fill the slots with Google AdMob. One switch hides the ads from subscribers, which gives readers one more reason to pay. Subscription revenue carries no GoodBarber fee; the store's cut, 15% for most publishers, is the only deduction.
The independent fashion magazine
Quarterly in print, weekly in the app: features are locked, the news stays open and carries the ads.
The trend forecasting newsletter
Its seasonal reports become a locked section; the push replaces the email, and past seasons come with the subscription.
The fashion week media
When the show calendar matters more than articles, turn to the fashion events app: program, venues, press area.
Fashion events and fashion weeksYour website feeds the app, your exclusives are written in it
Import your site's articles, and write the locked ones in the CMS
Your site's RSS feed can fill a news section by itself, with nothing to retype; imported articles remain open. The features you sell are written in the CMS by several contributors, each with their own rights, and scheduled on Friday for Monday morning.
An app, a website with a paywall, or a digital newsstand?
Three ways to sell a fashion magazine online, and what you control in each.
| Your app with GoodBarber | Website with a paywall | Digital newsstand | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The magazine in both app stores, under its own name | native iOS and Android | no | inside the newsstand's app |
| How the reader pays | one tap, with the phone's store account | by card, on your payment page | on the newsstand |
| Ads for non-subscribers | your ad server or AdMob, hidden from subscribers | depending on your site | depending on the newsstand |
| Alert when an issue comes out | automatic push | depending on the newsstand | |
| What you pay | a fixed plan, plus the store fee on subscriptions | site, hosting and payment fees | a share of each sale, depending on the newsstand |
Three AI tools for the magazine
What they do, and what they cost.
To answer
A reading assistant that cites your articles
It answers “Which trousers are back this autumn?” from your issues, with links to the articles it drew on; free readers get answers from open articles only.
$35/month
To extend
The season's color chart
A prompt in the back office is enough: the AI Extension Builder turns “show this season's colors, each opening its article” into a new section of the magazine.
Free
To operate

What GoodBarber customers say
Published reviews, from every kind of app.
GoodBarber is a powerful app builder.
GoodBarber is a powerful app builder. If you want to build your app using a pre-built template, GoodBarber is ideal for you. At Global Academy, we almost completed the 5th year using their easy-to-use pre-built platforms to build premium Apps for our customers. Also, Goodbarber's customer support is excellent. Highly recommended.

Fashion magazine app: questions and answers
Can I sell the trend report as a separate subscription?
Not separately: the app has a single level of access. The trends section is part of the subscription, like every other locked article; the choice you do have is between a monthly and a yearly length.
Can articles from my website be reserved for subscribers?
Only those written in the GoodBarber CMS. Articles imported through your site's RSS feed stay open: use them for the news, and write your features in the app.
Are my print subscribers recognized in the app?
Not automatically, because the app's subscription is sold by Apple and Google. From the back office, you can add a free subscription for any reader manually, for the period you set.
Can I keep advertising for readers who don't pay?
Yes. Ads from your internal ad server, AdMob or Ad Manager stay visible to non-subscribers, and one option hides them from subscribers.
What is deducted from each subscription?
The App Store or Google Play fee, 15% for most publishers, and up to 30% at Apple in a subscriber's first year outside its small business program. GoodBarber deducts nothing.
Which plan for a fashion magazine app?
Premium plus Memberships, or Pro, where it is included. Selling also requires the web version switched on with a domain name of your own.
GoodBarber publishes your fashion magazine as an app and sells it by subscription, with no GoodBarber commission
