The tablet edition of Shortlist Media's Stylist magazine has been closed after two years.

Shortlist Media has blamed the closure of Stylist's tablet edition on the demise of Apple's Newsstand.

Apple closed the Newsstand in September 2015.

The tablet edition of Stylist had an average 28, 000 readers per issue, before it's closure.

The final edition of Stylist was published on 29th March 2016.

The issue was also handed out as a free printed magazine.

"We’ve all been very proud of the success of the Stylist tablet edition which we've been publishing for just over the last two years. It has been a critical, commercial and technical success. In scale terms it's easily been the most downloaded women's magazine in the UK. And in technical and design terms it is a thing of beauty.

“Easy to use, quick to download and lovely to read. Its advertisers have seen great results and its many hundreds of thousands of readers over the months have valued it as a different and useful way to read the magazine they love on mobile and tablet devices.

“While the Stylist tablet edition has retained a loyal core of readers they are now starting to decline with no adequate way of recruiting new users.

“Having considered all feasible options for continuing the service, Shortlist Media has made the decision to cease publishing the edition." said Mike Soutar, CEO of Shortlist Media.
