The Wire is an independent, monthly music magazine dedicated to informed, intelligent coverage of a wide range of progressive, adventurous and non-mainstream musics. Although The Wire is a London based publication, it serves an international readership. The digital edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is published. Within the application you can upgrade to full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a searchable archive of every issue of The Wire published since issue one from summer 1982. Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive. During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription. • Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page. • Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages. • Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom. • Switch between single or double-page view. • Search the current issue or the archive. • Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps. • Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article. • Sync the latest issue to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi). • Sync additional back issues by tapping the stars beside their names (requires wi-fi). • Network connection required otherwise. We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere.}

Biased news is circulated. Kind of having some hidden propoganda. Totally useless in terms of free media rather its a biased media.

I've been reading The Wire magazine for decades and became a digital-only subscriber with high hopes for the digital format. Yes it is easy/convenient to search the whole archive or one issue (misses do happen though) but the User Interface is really clunky. On phone, laptop or standard computer screen I have the same problem. It is like reading a PDF but with only 2 font sizes available. Text does not wrap. Navigation when searching is not intuitive. Feels like an app from the previous century.

Great App! One of the "Essential Apps" I have on all my devices!

To be fair, the magazine is absolutely amazing. This is just a review of the Android app experience. And the app is just a bit janky in some areas. For example, it would be ideal if a group of people were able to transform the print edition into a nice UI experience rather then having their users zoom into a PDF version.

Core of "The Wire " operation is spreading Hinduphobia. This is seriously damaging the peace and harmony among the communities.

I don't want to give evn one star but the minimum is onenstar. This is the worst news app I've ever see. They write quite opposite about even famous incidents

Saw this app for a magazine I read steadily for about 20 years while searching for the tech mag of a similar name. Looking forward to getting acquainted again with "other musics". Too bad ratings have been hijacked by paid actors from South Asia who couldn't even bother to confirm which app they're were commenting on.

Misleading. Most of the articles are made up. I think you need proper hiring or maybe give good salary to your news editors/ reporters.
