DW - Breaking World News App Reviews

70 add

No Sound in any language

IPhone Running 7.1, no Sound.

Terrible interface, no video

The screen splits in two and scrolls independently, like having two iPhones side by side. Streaming presents a black screen with only music for about 10 seconds. Useless app.

Wheres integration?

Very poor sharing capability and just overall weak user interface. Like a watered down version of the website. A shame from such a good and balanced news outlet.

Very poor app

Piece of junk, needs to be rewritten, will not allow me to listen to anything Im German, only English!

Cord Cutters Dream!

Commercial free, English and other separate language feeds. Totally addictive content. The design and functionality of the app is the utmost high quality. Just watch it and see for yourself.

The app works fine but the setup is horrible

Big Disappointment

I normally read DW in German to maintain my language skills. Unfortunately the new app has removed the dictionary lookup feature, which allowed the user to select a word in the text of an article and look it up on an associated German-English dictionary. I really want this feature back.

Keeps crashing!

The app keeps crashing still while select a top from the left side (blue) menu in Persian language. I though todays release will fix this issue but it has not yet resolved. Please revise and fix the cause of crashing on next update.

Good Start

Love live programming. Still room for improvement.

A very good app

Clean easy to navigate. Looks really good. The life news stream is tremendous.

Not working

Not working on IOS 7.1.2 - cant run application - no internet connection.

Ted

This latest "bug fix" released July 3 has made it impossible to open this App. Please fix this problem.

Fixed it

Unfortunately the application is not wowking correctly and dont update new news. Please fix bugs related it.

App does not work

Recent update broke the app.

Not user friendly

DW had the potential to be one of my go to news apps...past tense. Although it may look slick, I do not find the current version very easy or efficient to use. BBC made changes in its app that looks very similar. Their previous version was much more usable. Too bad as I found the overseas perspective on the news valuable. Now the apps are Amosa unusable.

Its works for me

Not so bad as others make it out to be. Good practice for building language skills. I really wish there was a mode to quickly switch between the German and English version of the articles so I can build my vocab

Excellent

Very good quality content as the channel on TV.

Landscape mode

Who uses apps in landscape mode these days?Do some R&D and develop it in both portrait and landscape mode.

Better Than Nothing

But thats about it. Needs: Video modern interface ability to tap on a German word and get the English translation, or other languages

Its good but not great
