WIRED Magazine

Have tried to login to the mobile app since I purchased a wired digital subscription a few weeks ago. I keep getting ‘we are having a technical issue, please try back later.’ I guess they want us to just sign in using a browser for reading articles.

TLDR: 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.”

Subscribed online and can’t access sub in app. Keeps saying “we are currently experiencing technical issues” upon login. It’s been almost a week now and still can’t access subscription.

Print subscriber, can’t log in. “Technical issues.” Broken app.

Only magazine covers are visible on the app. When I go in through the web it just kicks me out and keeps asking me to subscribe. frustrating.

Gave it 3 star because i really do like the content of this magazine and would like to read it regularly but the app version for the phone is so unusable i had to cancel the subscription and delete it.

It’s a PDF not an ap.

I wanted to support this journalism, but I doubt I’ll be using this app much. Feels like a solution my 90 yo mom might come up with. I’ll read what I can through Apple News. Disappointing.

I love Wired’s news coverage, highly recommend. I don’t love the app. I forgot that I used the SSO option “Sign in with Gmail/Apple/etc” when I subscribed. So then I tried to log in using the “Sign in with email” option and can’t get back to where the SSO options were. So, now I can’t access the articles I paid for.

The app won't let me sign in with my paid subscription information. I've tried multiple times, on different days, but always get a "technical difficulties" response. You would think Wired Magazine would have a better app!
