Leave a Review The Wire
Hard to read
The app is just the digital files for the print version. Useless on mobile devices unless you have one of the larger iPads.
Bummer. Was hoping to subscribe as the print version is waaaay too overpriced in the US.
I guess I’ll wait and hope they do something properly formatted for mobile devices.NewGreyArea

Please look at how the New Yorker does their app!
And follow suit! This magazine is too good to have such a lousy reading experience on the app. Please fix ASAP!WDV87
Extraordinary content compromised by a terrible app
The superb information, reviews, stories, and interviews provided by The Wire suffer to the point of being unusable in this clumsy app. Impossibly slow load times and raster text (RASTER TEXT!) fail to keep pace with even sub-par contemporary electronic publications. This product makes a strong case for the continuation of the print medium.Show lessSofa cushion
Cutting-edge content, antiquated format
Great content but annoying to use due to snail-paced load times and clumsy navigation. The publisher should look at a really well-done example (New Yorker for one) to learn how to do this properly.ConnedNast
Best of breed
Ignore the low star ratings if you recognize the actual music this mag covers, because it's the best of its kind, for those of us that appreciate the genres they highlight.Djflippy
Long time subscriber - disappointed by app
I love the content of The Wire. In fact it's the only mag I subscribe too. I was excited at the prospect of having downloadable versions of the entire back catalogue. Unfortunately, the app is so crippled and slow that it makes a delightful reading experience of the print edition into a real pain. Please Wire - have someone write you a proper app!Show lessvanceg
Great content, poor app
The paper edition is beautiful. The content is worth the price, but this app is wretched.
It feels like reading a series of JPEGs. Text does not reflow if you want the font larger: you simply have to zoom in, like reading a newspaper with a magnifying glass. Links and the table of contents are similarly tacked on. Obvious enhancements like sound clips are not made.
I hope they re- approach this app in the near future.
Stick to paper for now.Show lessChrisThielen
I Used to be a Paper Subscriber
I would like to subscribe to this App, but there is no "example" content by which I may evaluate whether the 40 buck subscription is worth it. I know the paper version is totally worth it. The Wire is the kind of magazine you read cover to cover. Give us a small, tiny example of what were paying for. Thanks.Show lessUncaScrooge
