Review: It seemed great until I tried to subscribe

I downloaded this app since there's a free 30-day trial and it looked great on my Kindle Fire HD.I really liked the content; the magazine seemed very well put together with great articles. I was ready to get a year subscription and that's when the trouble started.I contacted Amazon via email and was told to "view this information on Product detail page of WIRED Magazine application" however there was no subscription information there. So I called the customer service number for Amazon Apps  1-866-749-7771 where a very nice person person, named Scott,  tried to help me. He had a Kindle Fire, I have a Kindle Fire HD, I ended up uninstalling and re-installing the app which still did not show me an option to subscribe, I checked again on the product detail page of Wired and saw the options so I got off the phone with Scott thinking everything was ok.As I got ready to subscribe for a year I noticed that the drop down menus were blank, there was no time frame I could chose. I tried this on my Mac Book Air (OS X 10.8.2.) and on my Windows lap top (Windows 7) but none of it made a difference. So I contacted Amazon again via chat only this time I was told by Jordan, right off the bat to contact Conde Nast.Well, guess what? I lost interest.It should not be so convoluted to subscribe to a magazine for a year. Don't you guys test the app before you release them? Don't you check to see that people can actually subscribe? And as for Amazon, I was quite happy with Scott who seemed very eager to help me figure out the problem but the online person, Jordan took the easy way out and did not even try to help. He or she simply tried to pass the buck.What a disappointment!
