About Syfy Wire

Google Play Access the latest sci-fi entertainment news anytime, anywhere.

Syfy Wire is the all-in-one source for information from the world of science fiction TV, movies, games, comics and more. The Syfy Wire app connects you with Syfy Wire’s arsenal of photos, trailers, interviews and stories, allowing you to share, discuss and even save them for offline viewing.

Syfy Wire was formerly named Blastr, but we’ve gone version 2.0. As our corporate parent, the TV network Syfy, shifts its focus more onto the genres we love, follow and cover, the name is being joined to our efforts and the fandom that drives them. While the name has shifted, our coverage hasn’t – all geeky movies, TV, comics, games and more are all still on our plate.

Our new and improved app features:
• New design — Not only does the app have a whole new look, but it’s also easier to find and save all our content.
•Trending Topics – Monitor the pulse of sci-fi pop culture and see what topics are currently most popular on Syfy Wire.
• Search – Search functionality means you can instantly find the content you are looking for.
• Format Text – Adjust the size of your text and display settings to match your preferences. • Speed Reading – An entirely new way to absorb our content. Read stories rapidly by assimilating several phrases or sentences at once.
• User Profile — Sign in with either your Facebook, Twitter or Google accounts to create your user profile where you can…
• Bookmark Stories – Save stories to your user profile for quick access and offline reading.
• Follow Comments – Follow a conversation or post, and the app will notify you via the user profile when new comments are added.
• Follow Topics – Only care about Star Wars? Now you can subscribe to specific topics. The app will notify you via the user profile every time a new story has been added to that topic.
• Overall Performance Enhancements — Better. Faster. Stronger. More Productive.

What are users saying about Syfy Wire

Glitchy and slow, and does whatever the hell it wants. I've tried with this app for YEARS waiting for it one day get better but it never does. Disappointing especially because it's sci-fi news which, would mean the audience would expect better.

X70%
by X####:

Decent news feeds. App crashes on startup once a week, and it seems to loop back to the top story when you hit the news from 24 hours ago. But the selection of stories has me coming back.

What use to be a good but glitchy sci-fi magazine is now just an NBC Universal advertising tool. Post a comment not even slightly critical of one of there products, shows, or movies and the moderators remove it faster than a spam post

I've contacted SyFy Wire twice regarding the fact that, I cannot view any tweets or other social media they post. It's the only app I use that does this. It's slow, closes on its own daily, and extremely glitchy. Lowest rates app I've ever commented on. Seems ironic that a place known for science fiction can't produce a quality app in the 21st century.

Much improved over old Blastr app. I no longer need to keep 'hitting the button' multiple times to get a reaction to go to the article I'm trying to access.

I'm to the point where I rarely check this app like I do others. After 4-5 "recent" articles it starts to loop the same ones. Why I can't scroll down chronologically bewilders me. I don't want to see the same article come up over and over again when I'm looking for things I've missed. To make things worse, I can't even figure out how to comment. Get it together.

Why do I have to use a cross platform account/login. Talk about security failure and lazy!

S70%
by S####:

I just lowered my rating because of increased annoyance with the lack of image loads on Android devices.
