WIRED Magazine Positive Reviews

A Must Have Whether You Like the Mag or Not.This app shows the true potential of future publications with it intertwining text and media in an innovative layout. The July 2010 magazine surprised me in the way they replaced a traditional picture within the magazine with an embedded media object such as rotating a 3D object or listening to portions of musical beat being created step-by-step. Features that could not be done on paper. In the recent issue, they bring in a live twitter stream with a hashtag related to the article, simply showing off at this point, but really bringing past visions of such content to reality. Handsdown with the vast amount of media embedded within each article the price of this app is easily justified (come on its just $4) since it brings you into a new level of interactivity within great articles. I would easily purchase the digital version of the mag over its $1 more counter part and once you really get a good feel for what the app brings you will no longer value paper over digital. My only concern is the size of each magazine. I understand that a vast amount of video, etc. is stored within each download but 300mb+ is just ridiculous. Sure if I only used the wired app on my 16gb iPad I could store a little more than 50 issues on here but I have far more than Wired on my device. And it definitely forces you to download from WiFi at home and no possibility for download over WiFi..JhallsVersion: 0

Innovative and funI think that this is the most innovative and interesting magazine I have yet to read on the iPad. Apart from cost, I'm not sure I understand most of the complaints registered by other reviewers. Maybe I haven't been using this app long enough to realize the glitches, but this is the only magazine I've seen that truly integrates the multimedia aspects of the tablet. This app is what we all aspire to make in journalism school. It's fun, playful and interesting. It adds new levels of content rather than just copying the print edition or slightly melding it with the website. On the terms of advertising, Wired uses far less ads than one would typically see in a print edition. They're even interesting, interactive advertisements, not just long scrolling pages of flat pictures. Advertisers don't seem to realize the incredible level of interest achieved through interactive ads, so they aren't pouring money into a relatively untested system. If there were more ads, cost could go down. But, without ads, the app must be sustained by online newsstand prices. So, either way, someone will find something to complain about until a reliable system of subscriptions can be put in place. But, overall, I have read this magazine from cover to cover, and I plan on continuing indefinitely. Bravo, Wired. Best iPad mag I've found so far..Claire the journalism studentVersion: 1.8

The future is hereAfter seeing all of the other magazine and newspaper apps on the iPad fail on at least one front (cost, lack of innovation, lack of additional content, poor navigation or organization), the Wired app has done an amazing job. While I'd like to see it under $5 per issue, I didn't feel ripped off like I did with other apps. Wired gave me more material in a better format than the paper copy so I feel that the cost they saved in physical distribution was made up with the additional touches that they added to the app. If they make a yearly digital subscription close to the print price ($10-$25/yr), I would be entirely comfortable subscribing. As for this particular issue, I don't know if they saved up their good stories for this debut digital issue or if it was due to the presentation, but I felt like this was one of the strongest issues of Wired that I have ever read (though the article on home gardening was a waste except for the layouts for your own home garden...it was too much snark and not enough real content). Great job Wired, please just follow up this amazing release with a reasonable and easy to use digital subscription and you'll have at least one happy subscriber. As for anyone else that has a hand in making apps for magazines and newspapers, look at this app for inspiration, this is what the iPad was made for..Lord KaioVersion: 0

Pricey Oooh and AahhI like Wired and have been a subscriber to both the magazine and online publications. Wired's iPad app is the logical next step in the evolution of the magazine and its new home on a tablet looks stunning and better than its print sibling. Interactivity brings a new dimension to the reading experience—though it took me a while to realize that reading Wired on the iPad involves not just scrolling from one page to another but swiping up and down to read spreads that would normally appear side by side. The graphics, interactive features, videos, and extras are welcome additions to the magazine—though the premium price is not. Like other Wired app readers, I welcome all the new innovations of Wired's app, but I would prefer a subscription model that offers a loyalty discount to readers who enjoy reading every issue of the magazine. $60 a year feels a bit steep to read what is available online or one can find in similar but alternate publications. Sure, the ooh-and-ahh factor is nice, but like most things digital it wears off after a few swipes. Wired, kudos for version 1 of what's sure to become a popular iPad app. Wired is slick, elegant, sophisticated, and well designed. However, if you want me to keep downloading, I'll be happy to buy a subscription that makes financial sense for readers on a tight budget..AAWalter737Version: 0

Wired Magazine AppI pay for the magazine and love the content of each issue. My challenge each month is to download the magazine through the newsstand app of the iPad. Nothing is easy I get the email that the new issue is ready to download. So I click the email link expecting that the magazine will download directly from the link... wrong. So I go through all the steps by entering name and address only to find that my name is already registered and to go to the app and enter by using my email and password. I don't remember my password. So I try to use the option to enter my account number from the label. No problem, but wait, there is no label on the magazine... The account label is in the plastic mailing bag on a mailing card that is next to the beautiful woman promoting "GQ" magazine and the 100 sexiest women of the 21st century. I re-focus my attention on entering my account number and tap the submit button, only to find the same result as previous response... "go through app and use email and password". I got frustrated and then hit the "forgot password" button and requested to reset my password. I'll wait for a reply and perhaps get to download the new issue tomorrow. Bottom line, for a high tech magazine, the app is pretty low tech in ease of use and accessing content..JrhRocklinVersion: 4.51

Wow!I love the magazine on the iPad and exactly what I was hoping for with several of my favorite tech magazines! I just downloaded July and this was my first experience with Wired on my iPad. I am extremely impressed and find it an utter joy to read. However, I won't be downloading many copies at $3.99 each. I just don't understand the publishers of these magazines and news papers. Why are you being pigs on the pricing? Don't you understand that most of us stopped buying your hard copies years ago and is perfectly happy getting our news and info on the web for free? Look, I love reading books and certain periodicals on my iPad, laptop, or my iPhone. But I am not going to fork over $50 a year to do so. Price it right!! $0.99 per copy and I (along with millions others) will buy it every month. But you can't charge more than an annual mail subscription and expect people to buy! I know your biggest cost are the trees you kill for the hard copies. Just be businessmen and charge us a modest price for a digital copy and find adverting partners and bring back your industry! Otherwise, roll over and die and let the bloggers and web news sites take over your readership!.JoeinlagunaVersion: 0

Decent start, but needs glaring improvementThis is the third magazine app I've used, and the second dedicated to a specific publication (the other two being NY Magazine's app and Zinio). What I love about Wired is that unlike the other two, which basically read like PDF copies of their dead-tree counterparts, Wired takes the next step toward using the iPad's capabilities to generate a new, more complete reading experience. I appreciate this. However, the pricing structure of Wired is simply unacceptable for me as a consumer. Whereas NY Mag lets print subscribers download the digital copies gratis, or Zinio allows you to get digital subscriptions to all their magazine offerings, Wired does neither. Instead, Conde Nast treats the iPad like the checkout lane at the supermarket and charges for issues a la carte. While Wired is a fine publication and they really went the extra mile to present their articles in more iPad-friendly ways, until Conde Nast supports either of the two subscription models outlined above, there's no way I'm regularly getting digital issues (disclaimer: I got the free sponsored issue of Wired to base my review of the format off of). So yeah, sadly, I will be holding off on buying any issues until there's some way to subscribe that doesn't feel like such a ripoff. But there is promise, as long as the Conde Nast executives do the right thing with the subscription model..ParksideQVersion: 1.7

Not as digital as I thoughI think it is just another step to creating real digital magazine. But: no zooming, no turning, no copy paste and tons of commercials. With no zooming and turning I felt like my iPad was working only for 20%. Copy paste and better "find" function is a thing I was looking for. Like when the showed glasses frames, I thought I could buy one, tried to google it, but I can't! What is it? But I have direct link to infinity site... I don't care about infinity site, I want to see frames! And last point about commercials: come on guys, there was only 2 commercials about iPad. More than 10 about cars. Do you really think that people that are reading this thing on iPad would be more interested in new car or In new iPad gadget or app? This app was more disappointing for me, than something amazing and must-to-have thing. And it wasn't really a magazine - there was not much to read. It should cost not mere than 1,5$, as it is more like demonstration what a digital magazine could look like, what Adobe can do with HTML5, and with that much of commercials the price of the app seems to be to high. I'm dissapoinetd. That was a waste of money..IlyushinVersion: 0

Great app -- but the shape of things to come?I've been waiting for this app to come out since the iPad's launch, and it doesn't disappoint. More than all the other magazine apps I've tried (in particular Popular Science's) this one really embraces the digital/mobile medium. It's easy to navigate (much more so than PopSci's app) and has some actual interactivity that distinguishes it from the print version. I only have a couple of reservations. First is that $5 price tag. Even with the app's interactivity it seems a bit much. A subscription pricing model would be much better. Second (and this is related to the first one) it's not quite different enough from the print magazine experience to be the next big thing that justifies the much higher price tag. The interactivity it nice, but it's nothing blind-blowing; it feels added on. What it needs is a more radical conception that's different from the print and online versions of the magazine. This is just the first issue of course, and Wired says this app will be evolving. It's off to a great start --I just wish they'd knock a few bucks off the price..Ae235Version: 0

Wired PLEASE LISTEN!!!This digital magazine should be the envy of all other magazines offered through iTunes. We have finally reached the pinnacle of electronic media with this Wired issue. I would say it is close to flawless, the content is interesting, interactive and everything I could have hoped for. One thing Wired is behind on is the way Apps are offered to consumers now a days. A paid app should = little to no advertising. While a free app can be bogged down with different advertisements. With a price point of $4.99 is very step, especially taking up over half a gig of space. I love your magazine but please take a hint from Marvel, make an app that contains your magazine, don't make each edition its own app. I'm far from the type of person who complains about the price of an app truly, but its very expensive especially when you can get a years worth of the paper magazine for under $10 with a free hat. Two things, bring it down to a reasonable price, otherwise you will not see as high of a purchase rate (everyone wanted to check out the first one) two organize it in a more convenient way for users..JHesbachVersion: 0

Almost PerfectI bought the June launch issue as soon as it was released and enjoyed the work WIRED had done to bridge the gap between traditional and the still unknown future of digital content. Two large questions loomed for me, the first was asked by many. "Were they really going to charge $5.99 for every issue?" The second was mostly my own curiosity, "What would July look like?" At that point the app simply launched the June issue but now this update has answered both questions, and I could not be more satisfied. I want to be one of the few to say that I would happily pay $3.99 for each issue of WIRED I choose to download, and I love that the new interface gives me the option. I can see that each month I will be able to make a choice, and skip the months I don't want. Can't do that with a subscription! The only reason I titled this review "Almost Perfect" is in the hope that WIRED never stops considering how the iPad and future devices can be utilized to deliver interesting content to it's audience. Thanks WIRED! Keep it coming..RicksHappyVersion: 0

The best effort from Conde yetThe reviews saying that this is a mere PDF reflash are way off-base; I have the print edition sitting alongside this version, and the iPad version is formatted totally differently in both orientations, geared specifically to read well on the smaller screen. It also has plenty of new content from the print mag (though I assume it's all available on the website), and having audiovisual components along with the print-style layout is really great. Hearing the individual components of Trent Reznor's song-composing breakdown while reading along was inspired, and even things like the "How to Write a Joke" story feel more fleshed out when you can actually hear the things being written about. My only concern is the price and any subscription bundles, but if it's reasonable, I'd totally ditch my print subscription and buy an iPad one, even for slightly more than the dirt-cheap print sub, which is massively subsidized by ad costs and the printing industry's fine quirks. There are minor quibbles, but overall this is massively better than GQ and Esquire's iPad hack jobs..PlankstonVersion: 0

The way magazines were meant to be presented and readIPad has finally made it possible for the magazine to be an experience! Wired magazine has done an excellent job of using that technology to showcase their magazine. However, they too have failed to listen to us consumers. If they only had read a couple of the many reviews on any of the other magazine apps they would see that $4.99 an issue is not what consumers are willing to pay. A tiered pricing scale with subscription needs to be adopted. For example: $2 an issue for a two year subscription $3 an issue for a one year subscription $4 an issue if you want to just pick and choose which issues you want. I agree with many that asking $4.99 an issue for a magazine that can be purchased in print for much less an issue is not right. Like the gas station wars, someone needs to step up and drop the prices. Once one does it others are sure to follow. Besides this will actually be saving the magazine money, as far as paper and postage. And when you consider the fact that magazines today are created digitally on the computer it can't be that hard to convert them into the iPad format. Lastly since magazines seem to be picking up on this new iPad revolution Apple or someone (wish I had the brains to do this) needs to come up with an iMagazine app that would work much like the iBook app. You could purchase magazine subscriptions and have them all in one spot, like a magazine rack!.Csnodgr2Version: 0

Still having Download problemsWi-Fi DL was stop and start, stuttered and stopped. Eventually just waited till I got home and DL'd via iTunes and synced. I suspect it's partly just new issue rush. I'm VERY disappointed that we're still paying $4 an issue. I'm assuming that the lack of a subscription is just an iTunes logistics issue and that once Apple adds that capability all the magazine vendors will switch over to a more affodable business model. I stopped buying TIME magazine because of this issue and I will stop buying Wired for the same reason if this continues. I bought my iPad for a lot of reasons, but one of the primary features for me was the abiilty to read my favorite magazines portably and all in one location. Love it. But I can't justify paying $5 a week for TIME and $4 an issue for Wired when I can get the same things in print for so much less. And something is wrong with a model that costs a publisher 2% of the print costs but for which they charge you orders of magnitude more. Come on, publishers. Make this vision a reality, get with the iTunes model of high profit through high volume via low consumer cost!.PlanetPerezVersion: 0

ImpressiveI've been looking forward to this app since wired announced it a couple of issues ago. I'm a long-time subscriber of the print mag, and I love it. The app is nothing short of impressive. I love the way all the video and animations are embedded; they're part of the page, unobtrusive, and tapping on the target buttons seems intuitive. Now, I paid 5 bucks because it is a must-see, but I will be very hard-pressed to do that again, especially when the print mag is sitting on my coffee table right next to my iPad... Dear wired, please work out some kind of subscription service where us avid readers will not be feeling taking advantage of by paying such a high price for each issue. As another reviewer pointed out, it would stand to reason that the publishing tools you use for the print mag would be similar to the ones used for the digital one. Price was the only reason I gave four stars instead of five. Last word: excellent job!.Nbfd223Version: 0

Excellent application, but overpriced.I have a subscription to the printed edition of Wired and have for many years. The digital version of the magazine is more than a document with embedded videos. The digital version is interactive, responsive, colorful, and easy to read. The application has not crashed, consistently loads quickly, and requires little effort to master. The actual samples of music written about in one story made the entire article come to life. The application is very large and took a fair amount of time to download over my broadband connection. This is understandable considering how rich the magazine is, but is something the Wired folks should try to address if possible. The price for this application is high, considering a subscription for one year of the print edition can be had for approximately $12 US. I would hope that Wired Magazine publisher's will lower the price on the digital edition to a more palatable $1.99 per issue..Linux SniperVersion: 0

Lost purchasesJust like the other comments here, updated and lost the issues already purchased. Not happy at all. I won't be buying anymore. It's too bad I liked the app up till now. .... UPDATE: from an email that I received very promptly to my question on this from the Wired staff: (Dear Subscriber: Please read the information below concerning restoring your missing issues. 1) Select issue within app you've already purchased, but would like on your device. NOTE, the issue will indicate that you have not purchased it yet and will have a "Buy" button. This is fine. Continue on. 2) Click on the "Buy" button to begin the "purchase". 3) Apple will ask for you to sign in to your account in order to make the purchase, do so but make sure the account you use is the same as the account you originally purchased the issue on. 4) You will receive a pop up notification that states: "No Payment Necessary. You have already purchased the issue. Touch Download to load it to your device. OK" 5) Push "OK" and then the "Download" button. If you should need further assistance, please be sure to include all previous e-mail correspondence. Thank you for your interest in Wired. Sincerely,Kari) This worked as advertised. Bummer to have to reload issues but I didn't loose anything. Upping my stars back to 4 out of 5. Thanks for the quick resolution to this problem Wired..Mikey DCVersion: 1.7

$5 is crazyThis is the first and last time I'll be getting a digital issue of Wired. I already get the printed magazine for around $12 for a full years worth of magazine. Print is supposed to cost MORE because it's, well, printed! I know the content in here was cooler. Still this needs to be Free for paid magazine subscribers like my Wall Street Journal subscription is. There needs to be a digital subscription set price. I'm sure they are floating this to test the watts. I imagine a huge drop off next month. People of Wired: no one will pay $60 a year for your magazine. It should be $12 for a full year at the most. I'm sure like magazines everywhere your circulation is down. Making a digital mag may have other costs but certainly there is no CMYK ink and paper involved. Do the right thing and charge a normal piece. I'll gladly pay it. I think a lot of people will. Also, I can't wait to ditch all the paper which is very Eco friendly..CarbonadamVersion: 0

Overall very goodI personally love Wired, and I've been receiving it for years. Being able to get it on my iPad without having to pay any extra money is fantastic, and the extra content that come with the iPad version is very welcome. I like that Wired actually utilizes the capabilities of this medium. That's not to say that improvements cannot be made, however. Background downloads, for one, would be very welcome. Another's have mentioned, having to have this app in the foreground to download a 300mb file can be rather annoying. In addition, it may be nice to have a feature that would allow users who didn't want to take up. Much space to download a smaller version of the magazine, with less media included (maybe a simple PDF). Those points aside, I love this app, and congratulate Wired for attempting to move magazines into the digital age..C++JVersion: 3.5

Expensive for just a single issueOnline mags are not new. Editor Chris Anderson calls this an innovative new idea. Hardly. I've been waiting for a Wired subscription on Zinio for years that i can read on my desktop, laptop, not just on an ipad, along with a lot of other mags I read online. I don't buy paper mags anymore. And Zinio keeps all my back issues available online...going back to 2004. But Wired needs to consider a few things. First this is a single issue. I'm not going to pay rack rate for each online issue. Second why would anyone want anything less than a sub price, except for a special edition. Third will all those issues of Wired require another app button for each....yikes...pileup. Fourth these files are BIG. Where do I store the library of back issues before before my pad runs outa space. Come on guys. You are all giddy with your first digital magazine. SurprisIng for a tech mag. But, you need to figure out the tech better. After all you're a tech mag..JayArr7Version: 0

Calm down, you won't be charged twiceFirst, for those who were displeased (as I was) when your previously purchased copies of Wired disappeared: There is a simple solution. For those editions that you have already purchased, simply go through the motions of purchasing them again and after you confirm that you'd like to buy it and enter your password you will get a message confirming that you have in fact already paid for the edition in question and your download will immediately start. No extra charge. YAY!! Now, about the app generally: I love it. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: (1) I wish I could subscribe to it, rather than have to buy it every month. And (2) This confusion over reacquiring previously purchased editions has been going on for days and Conde Nast has offered no suggestions or support in the app store, thus causing fans of the app like me unnecessary irritation..Melly_gVersion: 1.6

Great content and layout, minor issue with downloadingYes, the magazine files can be large, and yes you have to leave the app in the foreground for 5 min for it to download. SO WHAT! It'll probably take you 10 times that long to read it, then you can delete it if you're so hard up for space. Unlike other magazines all the content is included in the download, videos and all. If you have a wifi tablet like me you can view all the content without having to be at an access point. The layout is top-notch and it has the same content you've come to know and love from Wired. The publishers took great care to create an pleasurable tablet experience instead of just scanning in their dead-tree version like so many other mags. Never any problems with print being too small and the whole magazine navigation just flows. Fix the downloading issue and it's easily worth five stars..Eko8Version: 3.5

How To Destroy AngelsI purchased this app purely for the article "Constructing a Song" covering some of the work Trent Reznor is doing with his wife. I'm a little disappointed just because I personally wanted a little more in-depth information and not just a few snippets of text paired with pictures and sound clips. I haven't read Wired in a long time and I remember some of the articles being quite lengthy and in-depth so that's what I was hoping for here. The medium and device are definitely conducive to these types of interactive articles as it is a superior experience compared to the web based article, iPad exclusive content aside, I just wish it was a longer piece especially considering it is labeled as a "Cover Story" in the table of contents. If the continuing pricing model is not going to be $4.99 per issue then I will mostly likely become a regular subscriber/purchaser of which I am neither now..Metafour.orgVersion: 0

Good looking, but not revolutionaryThe Wired app has gotten a lot of press since well before it's release. I was really excited to download it because it had the promise of reinventing the magazine. I have enjoyed reading Wired on my iPad, and it has some fun interactive elements, but I don't like that it's 500+ megabytes big. My problem with the size is mainly that I tend to have multiple copies of a magazine available for browsing, and if they each are that big, it's not gonna work. I have also been disappointed with the interactive features. Somehow compared this magazine to a CD-ROM of old, and I am coming to agree with that. I would rather have a PDF with real text than a set of giant pictures of content. With that said, if I'm gonna have pictures of content, i prefer Zinio to the single magazine model. Zinio seems to have a similarly limited set of interactive features, but I can hop from magazine to magazine with ease. Maybe Conde Nast needs a similar app for all of its magazines..AharriscrowneVersion: 0

Now this is irony: Internet isn’t print!I’m not giving this app one star because it does work. The problem is that it seem to think it’s print media. On an electronic device, you need to adapt to the device. Others mention no landscape, but that doesn’t bother me. No, what bothers me is there is no way to zoom, no way to copy and paste, no way to do anything other than view images: sometimes showing pictures, usually just full page images of text. And for some reason, the first page's text is significantly bigger than the other pages. This means, for me, the text on the first page is somewhat bigger than it needs to be, while the text on the following pages is significantly smaller than I find comfortable. The best handling is kindle, where you can increase font size; PDF is worse but you can at least zoom in. Well, with this app you can neither increase font size, nor zoom in. Sadly ironic for a magazine that is all about technology!.Fool4jesusVersion: 4.6.8

Great UI + reasonable price = future of digital magazinesYes i know the magazine isn't free but in the near future magazines and information created digitally will cost money. And as long as it stays around $3.99 it is a pretty good deal. This really is the best magazine out there. Flawless UI. At cover, just tap the title or pic and it goes right to the article. Love this app. Highly recommended if you are willing to pay a very reasonable $3.99 per issue. Btw: digital publishing still has costs. Granted they don't have paper or ink but do you think the digital publishing team works for free? And what about the guy who created and maintains the app? It still may be somewhat high but it's a great app and companies are still making the change to digital so prices may be high for awhile. Don't low rate an app just because they have higher prices on their content..JoNNy Alex RiNgoVersion: 0

A master class for the future of pressI love it. This is app represents the newsstand of the near future. I know everyone is saying the price is too high, but wow, I've paid newstand prices and this is cheaper and a richer experience. I am spending more time focusing on the details of the mag now more then ever. Even the ads are interesting. Wired had lost most of what made it so compelling and just like that it's relevant in the publishing world again. Great design and presentation...and I think there are even some interesting articles too. It would have been easy to simply regurgitate a web page, yet they have assembled what we should expect from all future publishers in the medium. Two features that would make it the killer app: 1) back-up and viewing purchases on my CPU so I can free up my space and not lose the issue 2) a subscription, of course..SoniqfreqVersion: 0

Cute but nonsense for subscribersThe articles in the July issue were nicely done; I especially liked the layered Trent Reznor pieces. However, I already pay for my print subscription (ironically, the dead tree version is the most compelling for me still), and as many people are already commenting, why would anyone pay so much per issue when we already can get a print version for less and online articles for free? The static content lacked the most basic level of interactivity found in any news app. There are too few articles contained in the iPad version compared to the content you are churning out online. Wired sets a high bar in design and content so I had very high expectations for this iPad app. I'll keep my rating at a generous 3 stars in the hope that Wired will rethink its payment model; at least give subscribers access to the same articles online that we already have in our hands!.JimicahuengaVersion: 0

App is okay, subscription model is greatI've been a subscriber to the print version of Wired since the beginning and still get through most issues. I've been waiting for a sustainable subscription model since downloading the first version of the app last year. The "buy once, ready anywhere" approach is great. I would rate the app itself 3 stars. Navigation is intuitive enough and the later versions are pretty speedy. I don't appreciate gimmicky multimedia like last month's intro video upon launch (quite the shocker with headphones) and there really needs to be a way to bookmark and save / share articles (Read It Later, Instapaper, Pinboard, etc., etc. even a pdf or printing capability; link emailing, etc.). For now, all this works. 5 stars for effort, leading the way..Rs.xl3Version: 3.0

Issue 2 greatly improvedWith the release of the second issue for wired's iPad app I think we are getting closer to the true future of print media. The video and picture features are all integrated in tighter manner that allow for easier viewing, and don't interrupt the flow of viewing the issue. Also personally I was able to use the table of contents to get around this issue, which minimized the impact of the ads while I sured to whatever article interested me. Then I could go back through things linearly at my leisure. The five dollar price tag is still a bit high, but certainly painful then the initial ten dollar investment. I'd like to see it drop to two bucks. That would guarantee I would get every issue. As it stands the cover story better be grabbing me, or this might be my last issue..SinisterInfantVersion: 0

The FutureI think we can all agree that 5$ is too much, and it would be nice to see apple support an architecture (or maybe the publishers can develop it) where we could just "subscribe" to the mag for the whole year (it already exists with TV Shows, why not this?). That all being said i am removing the price as part of the review, because if it were part of the review it'd be like 3 stars. There are technological leaps here that make this the great "Tech Demo" of E-Mags. Interactive advertising and articles. The ability to hyperlink inside an article to both a webpage or another story in the magazine. A Reader mentioned some missing essentials (like bookmarks, etc) but overall, buying this mag as an example of what is to come is incredibly exciting, and wired is the right magazine to bring it to us..Chud575Version: 0

Very nice iPad magazineThis is by far my favorite newsstand magazine so far. What makes it best of the bunch I've purchased and downloaded? 1. Great, interesting content (after all, it is Wired magazine) 2. Wired's magazines are the only ones I've viewed that make any use of interactive multimedia enrichment. They embed videos, there are articles where you click on hot spots in the picture and they display content. The other magazines just seem to take what they have on paper and throw that into newsstand, creating very flat reading/viewing experiences The only drawback to be aware of - and I can't ding them for this, because it comes with providing rich multimedia experiences, is that each magazine file size is HUGE. This means it takes up noticeable space on your iPad's hard drive, and that it takes a LONG TIME to download each magazine, even with a strong internet connection. I think this is why other reviewers have complained about not getting their Wired magazines. The fact is that all those videos, etc., are big files. But the experience is so great I think it's totally worth the time to download (and managing my iPad storage space). If you want to read something that makes you glad you have an iPad, Wired is it!.AudgeMVersion: 3.5

Well doneI was skeptical if WIRED would be able to pull off a tablet edition of their monthly magazine and, yes, they did. Interactivity and layout back each article interesting and easy to read. Only flaws I see is clicking external links that tKe you out of the App and into safari web browser. But mostly for me, I don't do that so advertisers should find a different way of linking product fan pages to FB etc... I am also a bit turn off by advertising. I really really wished that ads would be more interactive and more engaging than just static images. Although as a new medium i assume the WIRED digital mag has the platform to support that so that didn't affect my rating. Well done WIRED, now if I can only transfer my print subscription to the digitAl edition I'd be set..BryeperkVersion: 0

Most innovative magazine app by far!Yes the pricing issue is a huge problem, but that's already been covered ad naseum. The app itself though: A pleasure to read. The interface is slick and the content is just as slick. The way articles are embedded with various forms of multimedia (eg: video, etc) makes reading very engaging. The navigation through the magazine is, for the most part, completely intuitive and just how I'd imagine and expect an iPad magazine app to be. I enjoy navigating through the magazine almost as much as I enjoy reading it. Also, I'm normally not a fan of ads at all, but they do look gorgeous. The only minor user interface gripe I have is sometimes certain aspects of the interface particularly within articles seems pointless and just a way to show off unnecessarily. For example, many articles will have little numbered lists with explicit instructions to tap each number to see something. If the interface needs instructions that's a sign it's not as intuitive as it could be. Kudos to the developers at Wired. Please be realistic and fair with your pricing though and I'm certain you're bound to have many fans (particularly since every magazine suffers from the same pricing problems)..Moon in a dewdropVersion: 0

Very Nice, But...The two way scrolling is absolutely the way to handle this kind of content. Also enjoyed the clever reformatting of content from landscape to portrait orientations. And the copy size makes for an easy read over the typical PDF dumps of the print version that other iPad magazines are using. But... the advertising overwhelms the articles - maybe you could implement an option setting that would hide the advertising after I had viewed an ad at least one or two times for at least 5-10 seconds. And let's work on a subscription price to reward loyal readers..CreativejamVersion: 0

This is how a magazine should be on the iPadI seriously LOVE that app. It's beautiful, respond well to your fingertip, easy to read and navigate... love the interactivity you get with the articles... the videos and embedded music is awesome. Totally worth $5... if we don't have to pay $5 every month. I hope the subscription will be a buck or something because I won't pay $5 every month..Mr.Potato HeadVersion: 0

Good magazine. Nice format. Needs cut and paste.I like readIng the magazine this way. I would really like to be able to copy text. It's a shame to have the magazine in this format, but be stuck with the limitations of paper. I wanted to look up a name from one of the stories... by the time I got my browser open, I couldn't remember what to search for..GJCCVersion: 0

Awesome!I had an issue with downloading the latest issue so I downloaded the app again and it's working great! 3.99 is a decent price when you consider what it costs at the newsstand here in Canada..Darren MoffattVersion: 0

DisappointedI will be removing this application. Wired EZines are too big and take forever to download adding extra cost to each issue for which the customer gets nothing, only frustration..Joe SmeetsVersion: 0

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..HandofchaosVersion: 3.7

Stuck at "Updating Library" (updated)Totally unusable. Deleted, re-installed, and on first-launch, it hangs forever on "Updating Library...". Contacted WIRED Magazine Support, no answer yet. The version of this app should be pulled from the App Store until this is fixed, don't know how it was approved. (UPDATE: Sept 28 2011 - it still had the problem but once I deleted and re-installed again - it works, so try that. WIRED support says this is a result of the In-App Purchase outage at Apple).MukminVersion: 3.1

WIRED Magazine Negative Reviews

Not available to digital subscribersTLDR: The $10 subscription doesn’t give you access to the app I paid for access thinking I’d be able to read Wired news articles. Downloaded the app. Then I got the error that everyone else is getting, “Sorry, we are currently experiencing technical issues… etc.” I emailed Wired about this tech issue and we’re going back and forth. I also emailed from the website, which required all manner of unnecessary personal information to simply ask the question. But I got an eye opening reply that apparently the Wired tech people are either unaware of, or something. From Condé Nast Customer Care: “At this time, a digital-only subscription does not include access to the WIRED app. Full access is reserved for magazine subscribers, as the app provides digital versions of the print issues. We completely understand how disappointing this can be, especially given the expectations surrounding digital access.”.Jjg in vaVersion: 5.8

Terrible appI downloaded the app as I bought a subscription for Wired. However the app is clunky and intuitive-which is strange considering that Wired is clearly focussed on technology. I then decided to cancel my subscription. This proved impossible in either the app or the internet site. I was forced to call a helpline to cancel my subscription, and with the helpline person speaking very broken English, this was made even more difficult. Altogether, do not use this app. It is not user friendly..Si746Version: 5.8

Read format destroyedThe Wired app had a brilliant format - with every article scrolling seamlessly on the vertical orientation, and shifting between articles in the horizontal orientation. It was dynamic, easy to figure, and kept your reading position into each article as you moved back and forth between them. Now it is all gone and the app is just a (not) glorified PDF reader whcih moves horizontally from page to page with absolutely NO optimization for reading a magazine in an iPad. What a shame! Please bring it back!.RmabreuVersion: 5.8

Poor FormattingThe most recent update is nothing but a single page of the magazine on the screen. What used to be a dynamic way to read WIRED magazine is now just scrolling a multi-page PDF and the view isn’t full screen. Worse, yet, is that one whole page doesn’t even fit on the iPad screen - users have to scroll down just to see the rest of the single page. I’ll keep my subscription, but the app needs to be completely reimagined..NthornVersion: 5.8

SadI made the mistake of subscribing to support the magazine under the assumption they would have an app to read it. Unfortunately I can’t even log in, tech support says “don’t worry sir, an update it coming!” It’s been 2 weeks of something that is a fatal flaw for any service, having worked in the tech space this would have been solved in 20 minutes at any company that had a stake in supporting their product.Teach Em UpVersion: 5.8

Shockingly bad experienceThis is worse than a pdf reader. Impractical and very uncomfortable to read on an iPhone. Immediate buyers remorse after subscribing as I’ll never read the content. Also, doesn’t include web articles. I would have been better off paying g $10 for the web pages age subscription. I’m in shock that one of the best tech publications has such a terrible, user unfriendly and outdated app GUI..ChouDoufuVersion: 5.8

How do I make the title bar go away?How do I delete a downloaded issue? These are mysteries I may never solve in this version of the app. D for product design. At least I can still read the magazine, though I have to scroll to see all parts of the page. Wired, I thought you understood tech? These are solved problems in UI design..Moravec70Version: 5.8

Terrible FormatDO. NOT. SUBSCRIBE. I find it difficult to understand who could have possibly approved this app. It provides pseudo-pdf scans of the magazine. That’s it. There is no formatting. It is near impossible to read on an iPhone. You can’t even download the content to read on a pdf reader. Further, the subscription doesn’t seem to be linked to their web page. Truly useless..Mgm-nyVersion: 5.8

Just MagazineThe app needs to have access to Wired News digital content, not just the magazine. There has to be a way for me to stay logged in and not always have to log into the site each time I want to read an article. Right now, every single time I want to read a news article posted by Wired magazine, I have to log in. It is incredibly annoying..Laurie GumVersion: 5.8

Coded by DOGE Lite?Like many others, I purchased a digital subscription to support WIRED’s exceptional reporting. But not having access to WIRED’s digital content via its own App is stupid. AND, if this is intentional, then your error message should say that instead of the bogus “technical difficulties….” message. The latter wasting my time searching for a non-existent solution. And don’t get me started on WIRED and Condé Nast’s Privacy Policy and Opt Out process..Namaste CaliManVersion: 5.8

Non-FunctionalI purchased a digital/print subscription and attempted to use this app to access older digital issues. No matter what I try, the app will not recognize my status as a subscriber and I’m cut off after 10 pages of an issue. No response from the developer after submitting a ticket.

Terrible UXThe app is just a regurgitated version of the magazine. This means it doesn’t take advantage of even basic features of the internet circa 1995.

Not a bad effort....The content is a great as always... But I can get that on paper... And paying the same thing... The app is lacking. PDF with large videos and some sounds... Basically the same experience as the other magazines. What makes this great is the iPad but this is not that wired or adobe were aiming for. Also - price. Charge me and skip the adds or fill it with adds and give it to me for free. Magazines charge for issues to cover printing and distribution. They make money from adds and the data they share with ad agencies. Since you are collecting info from my device and there is no printing and transport - and charging 5 figures for advertising, then don't hit me twice for an issue charge. Not impressed... Expensive and quite large app..EyeOfRahVersion: 0

DO NOT UPDATE WIRED APP UPDATE 1.6!I just downloaded the Wired Mag app update and now wish I didn't. All the issues I previously purchased (and that's EVERY one that has been made available for the iPad) is now GONE! I refuse to purchase each issue again as it's pretty expensive once you add it up (and the app is supposedly designed to keep track of every purchase so you can archive past issues and/or reload them as desired).

Text version for each article for easy reading. 2. Photos of articles should be able to go full screen and zoom. The price is crazy. People are just buying it to check it out. They really need to rethink about subscription fee and standard issue fee. Not worth it! Kevin.BluetangVersion: 0

Great content, but...The iPad adaptation of Wired Magazine is nothing short of spectacular, and the content is consistently great. However, the app has consistently lost my purchases every time I have upgraded to a new version. Wired support have been understanding and have issued -- get this -- CHEQUES as a refund every single time. However, the cheques are US dollar and cost me extra money to cash, and Wired do not and will not include the taxes paid in their refund. The app design and content is great. The management of purchased issues is unforgivably bad. The support team are friendly and quick to respond, but are not flexible enough to do anything about the differences between Canada and the US. I cannot purchase any more issues, regardless of how much I like the magazine -- and I like it a lot..Aaron ReynoldsVersion: 1.7

After viewing pages upon pages upon pages of Ads I deleted the AppI hate websites that has ad pop-ups and this iPad version of "wired" is absolutely horrendous in terms of interactive Ads that almost hold you ransom on a page. For example the lexus ad that makes you find the vehicles on the page, prevents you from turning the page. On most pages it takes, on average, 3 or 4 swipes to turn a page. On some articles, swiping up doesn't even finish the article so the last sentence on the page leaves you hanging? Then from frustration of being locked on one "Ad" page, I hit home to get out of the magazine to find that even though I did not exit the magazine, the magazine re-starts from the beginning with the automatic pop-up video of the magazine cover. Since the business model of this magazine is from advertisers, I would recommend that the iPad version of "Wired" should be free; and even then I am not sure I would go through this horrendous experience again. Reading magazines on the iPad may be a nice concept, but holding a 2 pound ipad like a magazine creates new meaning to carpal tunnel syndrome "iPad carpal"..RalphaelNinjaVersion: 1.7

Useless subscriptionWhen 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..Robert HelewkaVersion: 3.7

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.

DoesnI'm running ios4 on my ipad 2. This is one of the most frustrating apps. Every time I am downloading something, and I shift to another app, it stops downloading. VERY FRUSTRATING. Enjoy the magazine, but the amount of effort to download is not worth it..Odyssey57Version: 3.5

Weird...… Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and then synced my iPad (iOS v4.x) and it automatically came up with 'Do you really want to remove the Wired App?' Hit the OK as it kept coming up and thought I'd just reinstall. Now Wired doesn't even show up in the list??? Deleted and redownloaded in iTunes and STILL doesn't even show up in my list of apps so I CAN sync? Why would their icon change to match the current magazine cover? Weird. This funky orange text on light grey background is making my eyes burn as I type. Would expect more from a Magazine that makes it's living with Graphic Artists, etc. Hopefully my subscription is intact....TrevcVersion: 3.5

Conde Nast digital screwed up!Having your issues disappear on an app upgrade is bad! Worse is not telling people they have to repurchase the issues "at no charge", and of course pay for the 3 or 4 Gigabytes additional on their data plan. Even worse is is to set it up so if you didn't buy an issue you can't bail out before you are charged for it! That to me is FRAUD! G++.G++Version: 1.6
