Font is half the size
They cut the font in half with no way to adjust. And no, changing global settings for 1 app is ridiculous. Deleted since cannot comfortably read. Also accessing stories is much more time consuming as they revamped the whole menu system. It was perfect, now useless.AshleyDelavane
Needs work to iron out bugs
Since latest upgrade app locks up constantly. Only way to get going again is to reboot your phone. The old saying why fix it if it not’s broken surely applies here. It was working well without any issues before. Well, it’s broken now. iPhone 11 user.garbo6119
Less is not "more"
Now apparently made for Youtubers--video heavy and light on actual news content. So if you expect an actual newspaper app look elsewhere.
Oh yes, now also ZERO personalization options...Akron Archon
New update not good
Before the latest update, I looked forward to using the DW app every morning to get the world news. But now it is convoluted and difficult to use- so much so, I find myself closing the dw app and searching for the news online. DW was the best unbiased news app- the latest update changed that for my purposes. Sad day, but I am uninstalling DW from my devices.Show lessmr ipad mini 5
Recent format change ruined the app
It was a good app until they decided to change it just for the sake of change. It is no longer convenient to review all the world news as you need to jump in and out of the menu groupings. This app was number 1 in my opinion previously and would have rated 5 stars. But the change in format has dropped it to a 1 star program now.Show less2457&$
If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
I love DW, but new app is simply horrible, a huge step back from the previous version. First of all, to watch streams in different languages you have to change the language of the app and wait for it to restart. As I watch DW in three languages, this is simply ridiculous. On the new "watch" screen you have news articles at the bottom, which are totally useless, as the stream stops when you open an article. Also, my question is, who wants to browse or read articles while watching a stream? The new DW app is so bad, I went back to using my old iPad with the previous version on it. Really, DW: if it ain't broken, don't fix it!Show lessDr. Antekirtt
New design is dreadful
In the new update the design is claustrophobic and derivative of the likes of CNN’s app. Whereas the previous design had easy access to the news in our world that’s actually important, one now has to sift through a half dozen culture or opinion articles. The prior design was altogether better organized with most articles not taking up a third or more of the screen on the main page. I am thoroughly frustrated that my main source of international news has tried to fix what isn’t broken in favor of some needlessly superfluous interface.Show lessSilverleaf43
years later (2022) , still same issues
readability on iOS is non-existent, there is still no darkmode ( people have asked for years ) AND adjusting fontsize is horrible throughout the app ( you ony thankfully get iOS' ability to increase article fontsize )rolandomarco
UI consistency
Like the app for the news content. Would like developers to adopt standard iOS conventions such as swipe-to-go-back instead of having to use the arrow in the top left corner. Awkward to use.Jvetheca
Boring
I’ve had the app for years but only occasionally use it. Each time I do, I’m so disappointed in the poorly written and extremely leftist bias. Goodbye DWjg1way
