Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: NOT QUITE WIRED FOR THE IPAD :: Read Our Full Review >>

WIRED's first take on iPad magazines is ambitious but ultimately falls short of its goal of redefining the magazine for the digital age.

What's New

- Support for iPad Retina Display beginning with the April 2012 issue.

App Description

It’s easier than ever to enjoy this groundbreaking monthly on your iPad. You can subscribe to the iPad edition of WIRED, or if you’re already a print subscriber in the US or Canada, access to the tablet version is included.

Want more? You can download back issues of WIRED starting from June 2010.

CURRENT APP USERS: Once you install the latest version of the WIRED app and accept an upgrade to iOS 5, the WIRED icon on your iPad will disappear— you’ll now find WIRED in your Newsstand folder. Tap the image of our cover to read the latest issue and access your library. If you choose not to do both of these actions, the WIRED icon will remain on your device and the app will remain accessible through it. In addition, to take advantage of having the latest issue automatically downloaded on to your device, go into your Settings on your iPad, select “Store” and turn on the automatic download switch for the WIRED app.

WIRED Magazine Subscriptions available:
There are two digital subscription options:
One-month subscription for $1.99, automatically renewed until canceled.
One-year subscription for $19.99, automatically renewed until canceled.
Payment for all purchases will be charged to your iTunes account at the confirmation of your purchase.

SUBSCRIBERS’ AUTOMATIC-RENEWAL FEATURE: Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Your iTunes account will automatically be charged at the same price for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period (another year for annual subscribers, another month for monthly subscribers) unless you change your subscription preferences in your account settings. You can manage your subscriptions through your Account Settings after purchase. No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.
