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

Where is the Chromecast support?

I had expected to cast the video content to my TV, but alas. Deleted the app instead.

Security guards at mosques and synagogues

Why aren’t there security guards at mosques and synagogues who are armed with at least either a taser, pepper spray, nightstick, or even a gun for the occupants protection, why don’t you guys write about this to which is really shoddy by the way.

One of the best

Not only a quality app but one of the most trusted sources of world news, very well done !!!

Horrible App

The blue background with white text format on the settings make things unreadable. There’s no way to make text bigger than they are! Absolutely bad! Despite emailing and sending feedback no response received.

Crashes regularly

The latest version of this app crashes regularly. Very annoying.

Frequently crashes

Content is great. App is buggy. It frequently shuts down for no apparent reason. Video content is extremely slow to load.

Crashes

Latest version crashes all the time... how can an application as simple as showing the news can crash? You only had one job! 😂

Doesn’t work.

Screen freezes and the app doesn’t work at all. What a shame because Deutsche Welle News is one of my fav places to go and get news.
