WIRED Magazine (UK) Reviews

WIREDMagazineUK is merely a glorified pdf player of the paper magasine. Not interactive links, can only be read in portrait format, need to zoom in constantly to read as the page size is stuck to the screen size (could be longer and allow for scrolling...)
Disappointing for a tech-oriented publication.
Take a page off The Economist or 1843 book...

This magazine is addictive. They make science and technology entertaining and impart valuable information at the same time. I will be a subscriber for many more years.

Wired is inclusive of current tech trends and future possibilities in tech applications. The editorial is spot on with articles of interest to a general tech and non tech audience. Great publication!

One of my favourite magazine... could be so much better than showing a PDF which you need to zoom to be able to read. I cancelled my trial and didn’t even bother reading after 3 pages of struggles. May consider re-subscribe when Wired really make use of their resources to create a full iPhone friendly version on their magazines!

I appreciate ability to keyword search an issue and share an article of special interest to me.

A magizine i still buy at the newsstand!

So the new update came in today. Unfortunately still no correction to the formatting issue. More than 2yrs and still no fix.

Wouldn't load my active subscription.

Gotta have it. A must

Update - October 27 app update fixed bug ...all content on iPad OK and accessible.

Seems coincident with iOS upgrade - now can only ever see the last edition downloaded. Cannot see rest of monthly issues. What's going on here? Another example of the pitiful shortcomings around Wired circulation ... Rather ironic for a tech-related mag!

I paid for my subscription, and I can't log in with my information. I contacted their customer service, and they told me they didn't handle Apple Store transactions. I told them I purchased the subscription on their website. They asked me for proof of payment. I sent a copy of my statement, and a print screen of the confirmation I received on their website. They told me they couldn't help me because they only handle UK transactions. This is the worst customer service ever, and now I'm going to have to contact my bank to get rid of the recurring charge.

I subscribed to the magazine at the end of November, and downloaded WIREDMagazineUK . WIREDMagazineUK will not recognize my account at all, and repeated messages to the publisher only get (1) instructions on how to download WIREDMagazineUK and log in (which do not work), and (2) a promise to get back to me in a few days (which so far has never happened). Ironic that a month and a half later, a magazine like Wired still cannot fix their app or subscriber accounts.

Any app that requires 500MB or more in a download should know how to do it in the background. Why do I have to sit here staring at the library screen until the entire issue downloads? If you leave WIREDMagazineUK , the DL pauses. If you turn off the screen, it resets completely. This is ridiculous.

I am a Wired fan but I think you guys are doing badly.... I bought the first issue of Wired UK and now after the udpate, I lost my issue and I will need to REPURCHASE again?! Or this is an illusion that when I hit confirm to buy again you are going to say - Oh you have purchased this item and this will be a free download?!

Now I understand why sales are bad for you guys....

I love the content and Wired always has great, well-written articles, but WIREDMagazineUK keeps crashing when I load it. At times it gets so bad it crashes my whole phone. This needs to be fixed on iPhone 6 ASAP since WIREDMagazineUK is unusable right now.

I cant figure out how to get out of an auto renewing subscription for this. I dont want it, dont need it and there is no way to shut it off. when i try to sign in, i am not a user - but I keep getting charged. Digital runaround! I hope Conde Nast actually watches this feed and will help me.

'Cannot open app-'just get a blank screen with iOS 8.1 upgrade (on iPhone 6 plus). Please fix app or refund me my paid-for subscription for undeliverable issues.

Just to add to the chorus of discount, I too have a paid for subscription and cannot log onto the Newsstand portal for Wired magazine. I have verified IDs, changed password, etc to no avail. Get it together Condé Nast. You took my money now provide the service.

I have wired magazine on my iPad but after a long back and forth I discovered there no iPhone edition!? Absurd, the freakin magazine is called wired magazine!? Just canceled my iPad edition. Thanks customer service for two weeks of back and forth.

Too slow to download and why is it only in one orientation?

Sorry I think I'll stick with the US version.
