App keeps claiming that I need a subscription to view magazines even though I already have one and am logged in. I sent out an email to customer support. We’ll see what they say but man. I mean, a hackathon group can create a more functional app than this in like 3 days. Extremely disappointed.
It’s just the rag
This iPad app only shows a regurgitation of the Wired magazine, page for page, without even as much as links within the table of contents, unlike the Android & iPhone apps that cover everything Wired.
Useless app
This app makes no effort to work on an iPhone size screen. It simply displays a replica of the print magazine - big pages that have minuscule type you cannot read or zoomed in that become difficult to navigate. Why did Wired Magazine bother creating this app?
Digital login $5 FAIL
Upon PAYING $5 for a digital subscription to this magazine, installing, creating a login, the app says “…experiencing technical difficulties” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Joke! Robbery! DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. They will steal from you from the get go. Login is way too complicated.
Read format destroyed
The 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!
Poor Formatting
The 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.
Terrible UX
The 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. No table of contents, no way to quickly jump to an article. Really!! This is what makes people hate publishers like Condé Naste. As much as I like Wired I’ll be canceling
Wake up
Fix this app idiots
Making it worse
They keep changing the app to make it worse. Now I can’t even archive an issue !
This is why magazines are dead.
I have nothing more to add than the rest. There’s a reason print and digital magazines are dead. See Condé Nast for why.
