Texture, the app that has been described as the “Netflix of magazines,” is on the block, The Post has learned.

The app, which was launched in 2010, allows ­customers unlimited access to a slew of monthly magazines for $9.99 per month or $14.99 for a premium subscription that includes weekly magazines.

Texture is a joint venture among media giants Hearst; Condé Nast; Rogers Communications; Meredith and Time Inc., which recently agreed to merge; ­and News Corp., which owns The Post.

Formerly known as Next Issue Media, Texture was rebranded two years ago ­to make a renewed play at offering magazines on tablets ­and mobile devices.

Since 2014, the privately held firm has raised $130 million: $80 million from the media companies that launched it and $50 million from investment firm KKR.

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, a “young” investor with a tech background has made a bid in recent months to acquire Texture.

Reps from Condé ­Nast directed inquiries to Texture.

The chief executive of Texture, ­John Loughlin, did not respond to requests for comment.
