5 🌟 when it doesn’t delete all my downloads!

I like to keep all the issues, because there are articles meant to be read more than once 💖

But today, even if my settings are for NEVER delete any magazine

and I have lot of room , 512 Gb, they were missing because

“Not enough room” ?!

Please don’t do that and yes landscape mode would very much appreciated. Thanks

2020-02-26

Hits all the minimums 👌

TL;DR - it’s good but it could be better.

Basic interactivity get you where you want to go with no fuss. But it lacks immersion (though there are some rare moments). The only incentive to read this digitally is the easy access.

2019-11-25

Works beautifully on iPhone SE

Thanks to the dev and content team for an amazing experience, even on a small 4” display.

2019-11-08

Waste off money

Nothing really compelling to read. Better off getting other sources.

2019-10-26

Needs to support landscape!

Nice app, but does not allow landscape mode nd it sucks for iPad Pro users with anApple keyboard.

2019-10-26

Nice, but hard to read

It would be nice if i could adjust the font size. It's hard to read allot of content because it's so difficult to read on an iPhone.

2019-08-19

Tiny photos that you can’t zoom

Wired Magazine’s photography is exceptional. Too bad you can’t entirely tell what the photos depict half the time on the iPhone version of this app, though, because it doesn’t allow you to zoom in. This kind of unnecessary limitation shouldn’t be present in 2019, let alone 10 years ago, and it really puts a damper on the enjoyment of the articles.

And why are we paying to see full page ads in the app, again?

Wired: I know you can do better. Let’s see this app get the overhaul it deserves.

2019-01-16

Too basic

Can’t zoom, can’t change to black background with white text, downloaded issues don’t stay downloaded for offline use unless you leave it open. OK for a beta version but after a year of having it, seemingly 0 improvements made.

2019-01-04

Enjoy the app, please expand for ipad

Please add the coding that will allow landscape view on ipads- increases usability a lot!

2018-11-05

Can’t have full screen on iPhone XS

The screen isn’t adapted to the iPhoneX and XS. If you don’t fix that I’m cancelling my subscription.

2018-07-22

Good app - please tweak for iPad

Would be nice to be able to enlarge the font, the type is mighty small on my iPad

2018-04-15

Crashes

The current version will not start up. It crashes upon launch.

2014-11-27

Such a great and awesome experience reading on the iPad!

Interactive and intuitive make for a great reading and engaging experience!

2014-11-01

Ugh

It's a hassle for me to get new editions...wish they would auto download ... Also being a Canadian subscriber could be the problem, the app doesn't understand postal codes

2014-10-04

Conde Nast has seemingly given up on iPad 1 users

I *want* to like this app, and it's intuitive enough, but every time I click on an article that takes me to a popup/subwindow - it crashes. (16GB, iPad 1)...

2014-09-02

Crash?

Used to work. Now, not able to open it, the app is always crashing! Not impressive for a tech magazine !

2014-08-08

Uh, fix please?

Just crashes. That's all.

2014-06-07

Poor.

Years have passed and using this app is still an arduous process. It's like they want me to cancel my subscription.

2014-03-21

Can't Download Magazines

I've been having problems downloading magazines on my iPad Air. Support is completely useless have not been able to resolve my issue. One support tech tells me that the issue is my iPad (even though everything else works!) and another will tell me that there will be an update to the app to fix the issue. So frustrated!

2014-02-14

Wired

This application constantly crashes on my 1st gen iPad. Extremely frustrating.

2013-11-22

Can we have the old version back?

When we could tap the show more link at the bottom and there was no useless giant banner with like and follow?

2013-11-19

To long to download

I'm thinking of canceling my subscription because of the time it takes to download a copy of the magazine.

If only it would download while I'm doing something else! Not even.

Just too long. Way too long.

2013-11-18

Crashes randomly on iPad 1

See title

2013-10-21

Horrible

I can't get the magazine, it keeps saying the account is in use. When I ask for customer service they reply that they'll get back in 24 house but they never do. They include a phone number in their customer service response that doesn't even work in Canada.

2013-07-20

Conde Nast really has to learn to test

Another update, another crash to desktop. This app has so much promise, but is truly awful.

2013-07-09

doesnt work offline

can someone PLEASE fix the fact that this app and the other Conde Nast publications wont load when offline, even if you've downloaded them??

2013-05-26

New version keeps logging me out

The new version keeps logging me out so I don't see my subscription. It's really annoying having to log back in!

2013-05-19

Poor

Content is excellent, but this app has some flaws:

- content is way too big and takes ages to download.

- general performance of app is poor (poor switching between web UIs and code; no network notification spinner on download; progress bars on download jump around at the end).

- rendering of pages can be slow.

- sign up/registration is very unintuitive.

- does not feel like a quality iOS app.

This just isn't a pleasant app to use, in my opinion.

2013-03-26

iPhone?

I would like to read from the iPhone.

2013-03-23

Great!

Anyone who says otherwise should be considered a low-information person

2013-02-13

Lo res text on my iPad 3? Inconceivable!

Some of the text is lo-res... unless they're trying to make it look like 8bit graphics? Well, it looks like crap. If any app should be on the cutting edge, it's this one. Bad job!

Previous review:

I have purchased a few wired magazines on this app, and now only one is available. It seems that there are major technical problems with this app, which has amounted to them stealing my money and not giving me access to my purchases. It makes you wonder if Wired magazine is really a credible source of technology entertainment information if they can't get their iPad app to function properly. They better fix the app and give me a future issue for free or I'm going to try and get all my money back. Not impressed.

Without a network connection, the app always crashes.

2013-01-07

Great Magazine Best Ads

this is one of my favourite magazines the digital copy has the most amazing additions to the paper edition including videos added story details and amazing advertisements easy to manoeuvre. Wired has exceptional articles

2012-11-21

Crashes

A download process that brought back memories of dial-up internet connections, then it crashes every few minutes on my iPad. One star for the little bit of extra content.

2012-10-21

Crashes every time

The app is badged showing a new issue is available, but it crashes every time I launch it. I tried restarting my iPad 1, but that made no difference. I've read a half-dozen issues with it in previous months. It's nicely designed, but just not reliable.

2012-10-19

Retina display

Please increase the resolution of your pages to run on iPad 3 or switch to a vector based format like Zinio!

2012-10-09

Crashing

Since Apple updated the app no longer works and Support option will not accept a non US request. Love the magazine but unless this app is quickly fixed don't waste your money. Feeling like I have been ripped off tbh. Had higher expectations such as being able to read the magazine and even contact customer service...

2012-10-08

Useless subscription

When Apple came up with newsstand, I thought the whole idea was that the latest magazine would be automatically downloaded. But it doesn't, even worse, you must babysit the download and you can only download one magazine at a time. It would be better if it was just a regular app. Every time I get on a plane, I pull out my iPad and think, good time to read wired. Nope, 350MB on wifi at an airport usually takes an hour and I can't use my iPad for anything else. Pure garbage.

Now I just got an email noting that I have been charged for another year. Managing subscriptions on an iPad is in a ridiculously hidden location. (Store, touch featured, scroll to bottom, select apple ID, then select manage subscriptions). Then you can disable autorenew which is automatically chosen when you purchase an annual subscription.

2012-09-30

Used to be great!

I've read wired since it first came out, starting of course in print form, and now on the iPad, but no more.

The mag has turned more into a video game than a provider of information. While there are still some excellent articles, each month seems to have turned into a contest of what new gimmick can be added to an article. This no doubt causes the crashes others have complained about.

There are so many swooping animations, redirects to web sites, swipes up, down, double clicks and multiple choice selections, the experience is like playing a maze game.

They seem to have lost the fact an excellent mag provides excellent information, not just gimmicks.

2012-09-13

Crash!!

Used to be a great app. But after update, all this app does is crash.

Please fix it!!

2012-08-27

no support

Same as Brad. I had to replace my iPad and since getting the new one there is no way I can find to get my subscription going again. Numerous requests for "support" have been ignored. One word on the support form, when you HAVE to enter a zip code for the form to actually submit, it's awfully hard to do that when you are not an American customer and, therefor, do not have a zip code. I loved the magazine but this experience has turned me right off, no way will I subscribe again.

2012-08-16

One of the best iPad magazine apps..

I have 3 other iPad magazine apps (Popular science, maximum PC and Maxim) and Wired is the best one (tech wise of course). Shows great, love the animations on the articles and the occasional videos. They do a great job with this app. For $20 a year I personally don't think you can go wrong (although if you can get it cheaper from Wired directly why not. I didn't know that). But for the work they put into this magazine I am not complaining and i will renew no problem Always enjoy reading it.

Only thing to say for those with a 16 GB iPad you are in trouble because some magazine files are really large and will eat up space quickly. I have a 32 GB and I can hold 9 or 10 mags along with every other mag and apps, books, movies etc before I run out. Of space.

2012-08-05

Worst $20 I have ever spent!

I purchased an annual subscription and I have never been able to get it to work. Sent a request to Wired "Customer Service" (is that what's its called these days?) and received no response. As the title states - Worst $20 I have ever spent (and I haven't always made great purchase decisions!)!!!

2012-06-30

Non-functional subscription system

I'm not able to subscribe to this magazine. The interface appears to be broken. Fix the application if you want my money. ;)

2012-03-29

Poor

Low on substance and poor usability mar this app

2012-03-26

Great how Wired actually makes use of the iPad, instead of just duplicating the print content.

2012-03-20

In app subscription cancellation is pretty much impossible

No wonder people hate Conde Nast. Save yourself the headache and don't bother.

2012-02-24

Much improved

Following a prior update, I couldn't get past the load screen!

However, after this latest update, the app works as intended - brilliantly!

2012-02-20

Better than previous version

This version has the ability to pause downloads when switching apps or upon sleep. Much more useable!
