DW - Breaking World News App Reviews

Top

This is a great app and I like the content. My only issue is the size of the font when reading. If I could adjust the font, that would be better.

Quite useful yet night mode would be so good(black background and white letters)

Please make the option to change the font size. The articles at your App are unreadable because of the tiny size of letters. (I mean on my iPhone 6 Plus). Thanks.

Censorship ?? Every story opens fine except the one about German police worried about anti-immigrant violence. The app crashes when that particular story is clicked. Weird.

At first, the app didnt work, but that seems to have been an anomaly. Otherwise, it works well and has many language options, including English and German. The articles provide a good overview of relevant international news stories from a European perspective.

Great content but you have to be a genius to find the "live TV" button. Also I cant get videos to automatically shift to landscape mode when I flip phone horizontally.

Every time I open this app it asks me to update even if my version is up to date! Please fix it

It crashed a few weeks ago, and will not open. I cant delete it and reinstall. Its frozen up. Whats the deal?

Good stuff to read and watch

Great news coverage No Advertising excellent More news than own opinion Keep up the great work

Update: this is now in Arabic for the live feed and I cannot put it back in English. This is unacceptable. I dont speak Arabic. What is wrong with your coders? Fix this! All the articles are in English and the live stream is in Arabic?! How does that even happen?! I also still cannot use the app in portrait mode. I dont care to read in landscape. --- Why is this locked in landscape orientation on iPad, yet works fine in both formats on iPhones? Im sick of turning my tablet sideways to read articles when I dont read most books that way. Get it together.

Had to uninstall.

I have to scroll through hundreds of clips just to find the one program Id like to watch. I usually use a web browser instead.

I downloaded this to listen to Langsam Gesprochene Nachrichten, a daily news podcast but it doesnt seem to be available through this app. The search function is also very limited as there are no search options meaning I cant sort by date added, media type, length, skill level etc. Also I cannot press and hold words to define them as I can in Safari, so I have to leave the app to get definitions. Overall this app is not helpful for those learning German and is in general inferior to the mobile site, the only benefit of this app is offline mode.

This channel deserves the best review for reporting news without taking any side and collect reliable info, a big thumbs up

Quite simple and easy. You can choose different languages and DW channels. Nice app.

I recently updated the application. Since then, it does not seem to connect. The DW home screen comes up, but after a few seconds, that disappears and DW shuts down. That is too bad as there is good news coverage in many languages, but I can no longer access it.

I believe DW News Portal V1.6 was the most complete version. Why create an app that offers less the the previous app? This app doesnt offer any radio streams!! Please put the radios streams back! Meanwhile I will keep rating you with one star.

Its finally working the way it should. Thanks!
