For those of you that don’t know TIME Magazine is the world’s largest circulation weekly news magazine that was first created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce. It is published in New York City and a European version is published in London that also covers Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Today we have some not so controversial TIME Magazine mobile apps.

First up for owners of the Apple iPad is the free TIME Magazine application that gives users the opportunity to purchase each week’s digital issue, and users can also read and store as many issues as they like within the app. If you are already a subscriber to the US Edition of TIME you can also access the iPad edition free.

Each digital edition that is released will include content from the print edition along with additional international content, videos, photos, and live updates via TIME.com. To find out more and to download head over to the App Store. Requires an iPad running iOS 4.0 or later.

Next for Android users we have the TIME Magazine Tablet app, which gives users the same ability to purchase a monthly subscription to TIME Magazine. Users can also read and store as many digital issues as they want within the app. Head to the Google Play Store to find out more and to download the free application.

For Android users that don’t own a tablet is the free TIME Mobile application for smartphones, which allows users to stay up to date with all the top stories and what is popular on TIME.com.
