User Reviews for DW - Breaking World News

Moved from 1 star

App back to working well after crashing the last month. Thanks to the dev team for the fix.

App does not open any more

Have been using this app for years. But since early this month (Nov2020) it will not open any more. I deleted the app and re-downloaded it, but with the same behavior. Reading now other recent reviews tells me, that the app must certainly have a glitch which needs to be corrected.

Usability issues

The application doesn’t allow to select a single word, for a look-up in a dictionary, for example. Only a whole paragraph can be selected. I wrote the developers about this issue a few months ago, but they seem to ignore it.Another inconvenience is inability to use the swipe gesture to return to a previous screen.Thus, the DW website has better usability than this application.

Like your news but you need to update your App

I like reading DW at anytime I have, it’s trusted source for me or at least more reliable than others. But you need to upgrade your phone apps in the meaning that make it more easier to navigate menu, more touch supports, and bring us dark mode (I can only read well in dark mode)

Bugs

There is a bug in the French mobile version. After scrolling down one time the app gets stuck. This only happens when I change the language to French.

New version tv screen works but not intuitive

I had to read the reviews here to figure out what was going on with the app in my iPad, here is my review.A. Screen appears small in landscape mode, the image is zoomed, and there is no little square with arrow to seize up the image. I thought that DW had decided to get rid of it.B. The solution is to turn the iPad to portrait mode and then: touch the tv image to widen it, only then you can turn back to portrait mode and watch the news. Please put the square by the image so we can enhance it without turning. I can imagine many people had the same trouble.Content: 5 stars, 10 if compared to tv news in the US.

Text too small

I read the news stories in German. Unfortunately, the text size is uncomfortably small for my eyes. It seems to ignore my phone’s settings, and it doesn’t offer any font-size settings of its own. Not all eyes are created equal. Please fix.—Still no update. Given the service’s desire for global reach, their inattention to accessibility makes no sense. I only keep this on my phone in the hope that they make accessibility a priority.

Best daily news for me

I depend on this app to stay current with events, especially in Germany. The reporting is clear, factual, and well-written. The coverage of events in the U.S. is outstanding. One current glitch. I updated my iPhone 11 yesterday to iOS 14, and the app won’t open. I’m sure it will be ok soon.

No Picture in Picture or closed captioning

I watch a lot of DW app on my iPad. I want to give this app 4 stars but I can’t. There’s no support for Picture in Picture. When I exit out of this app, I cannot use this app while in conjunction with another app. There are other news streaming apps, and safari that allows for this function. So I cannot look things up at the same time while I’m listening/watching the news at the same time. In addition to this, the lack of close captioning is alarming for a network of this size. No close captioning available when selected, same happened when I used to use the Apple TV app. I’m hard of hearing but it’s difficult to keep up sometime. I’m very grateful for the ability to rewind live as many times as I need to, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to keep up on both iPad app or Apple TV app. Please DW fix these these options.

Wishing for Chromecast support

Stream stops when you exit full screen mode. Stream quality was excellent. Other thing that would be nice if the app continued playing the audio in the background if you switch to another app
