  • buggy

    Tapping a notification should go directly to the article, not the front page or anywhere else. It’s not that hard.
  • Less is not "more"

    The "news" content is jumbled up with op-eds and the whole lot is scattered about with little care given to news categories.

    Navigation is similar to a worm-hole.

    Now apparently made for Youtubers--video heavy and light on actual substantive news content. So if you expect an actual newspaper app look elsewhere. Oh yes, now also ZERO personalization options...

  • 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)

    Updated: you guys really to add “Dark mode” for better reading. I’m in dark mode all the time from computer and phone.

  • Still keeps crashing and freezing

    See above, not good.
    Majorly reduced functionality.
    Was once very good prior to the “improvements”.
    Can do better.
  • Remains buggy

    While I enjoy the news content when the app is working, I often open it only to find a blank screen and the refresh icon not responding. App only functions again after I leave it for a day or so, or turn my iPhone off and back on again. Despite numerous app updates since I installed it in 2022, this ‘blank’/no content bug still happens fairly regularly (at least once a week).

  • Where is the search bar?

    I am a German teacher and frequently use this app. I the lastest update the search bar disappeared. Where is it? I want to search articles on certain topics. It needs to be easy to find. Can’t find it.
  • Freezing, Freezing, Gone

    The app freezes every time I use it. So, I delete it And re-download it from App Store. Love the content but freezes . The next time I want to use it, there is nothing but a blue screen. This reminds me of the old Windows 2000 Bluse screen of death only more frustrating. Please fix this issue for all your DW Fans. Dankeschön.

  • Widget Please

    Hello, just some feedback. I really miss the old app along with offline mode for travel. Also, a Widget would be Great and would encourage a little more interaction.

  • New design is terrible

    The app is slower, the search function is gone and it's not showing the latest stories. I hate this roll it back.
  • The interface is irrelevant and frankly garbage

    Honest feedback to the devs. I love DW articles and content so this one’s a tough one…ever since the update the same articles and headlines are pinned to the home page.

    Instead of the latest news and articles it’s always the same headlines the authors or whoever is trying to get more eyes on shoved in our faces. I’m literally seeing the same articles for the past 10 days.

    This needs a serious review because to be quite honest it’s annoying, irrelevant and makes me not want to open the app.

    You’ll find more up to date news in last weeks printed news paper. Sheesh.
