The Wire v4.3.1
Exact EditionsAbout this app
Developer Description
Adventures In Sound And Music
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.

The Wire users say on Google Play
One of the very few news agencies that speak truth, that brings attention to the common mans problems, what is happening at the ground level.
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.
When viewing on my Android phone, the inward zoom limit leaves the text just a little smaller than would be ideal. The magazine is great though!
A complex setup routine not entirely explained by The Wire's own subscription service, plus a rather poor reading experience on mobile devices - there really needs to be some reformatting of the magazine layout.
master of fake reposting. no news standard maintained. biased reporting.
