  • Chromecast?

    Chromecast support would make this app much more useful. This is a basic feature now, as seen on other European News apps such as VRT in Belgium. Thank you DW for your excellent content, however. Please continue!
  • Font too small

    Please add an option to increase font size. It’s so hard to read unless you’re using a magnifying glass. Haha. Danke!!
  • 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.

  • No “copy link” option from share menu

    I have to open a story in a browser in order to get a link. Most news apps let you copy the link directly from the app.
  • Doesn’t really work well

    When trying to watch live TV there is an overlay of sound which makes it impossible to watch

    Developer Response

    Kindly send an e-mail to info@dw.com with further in formation on the problem, the exact device and the iOS version running on your device, so we can start trouble shooting. Thank you.

  • overlapping sound channels using mobile

    Worked wonderfully on my ipad through a resort's free wifi but on my iphone 7+ today, when using that mobile's data, had two problems:
    a. using live TV, same item played twice & then did so again on another news item;
    b. could hear sound in English & a channel in French at the same time.
  • The slowest app in the world!

    It is loading too long. Using an Iphone app.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your rating. If you are using the offline mode, please make sure to delete the downloaded data from time to time to speed up the loading process. You can do so via the options menu.
  • Font size too small

    I love the layout of the app, but unfortunately I have to agree with everyone else who says the font size is too small. At least with the full website on my iPad I can pinch-open the story wider to increase the size of the print. Not possible on the app.

    Looking forward to this fix and then I'll try again.

  • 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
