Best source of news!
I’ve been listening to “Democracy Now!” for years, it’s one of the few new sources that actually stimulates people to look up additional information about the stories that they cover. I never heard about a military base in Diego Garcia until I heard about it on “Democracy Now!”. There are all kinds of examples of information that nobody is talking about other than Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez and company. Thank you and please keep up the excellent journalism!

App is super glitchy
To explain my 2 stars - I love love love DN! and want to use the app to share to social media (instead of the website on a browser), but it’s far too glitchy to do so.
I listen to the podcast version on Apple Podcast daily and always want to turn to the app right away to go share the videos and articles. The app is great in so many ways - in terms of accessibility of and easily searching for content.
But the articles are glitchy and at this time, I am unable to scroll past the first paragraph. I can see that there are “modules” of text etc that kinda move around when I try to scroll and it won’t scroll past the first one.
I have barely used the app because in the past when I *could* read the full article, when I wanted to copy portions of the transcript to share with the link, it wouldn’t allow me to do more one paragraph at a time. I always put it in my mind to go to my laptop to the website to share when I’m able, but life gets busy and I forget. It would be great to go to the app as I’m listening away from my laptop to immediately share what I’m listening to.
Please look into it and update the app (it’s been two years?) - I would love love love to use it!!

Good, just needs some tweaking
The app works fine, but adding Dark Mode and notifications would make it far more useful.
Glitches galore
This app started messing up about a year ago. It constantly breaks off in the middle of a segment and goes back to an earlier segment. You have to close the app and reopen it and cue it up again to the live show in order to keep on going. This means you miss whatever happened while you were restarting the app. Hey, Democracy Now! Get your act together and fix this app!

Please redevelop your app!!
Love Democracy Now but this app design is a mess. It’s hard to scroll through an article, I generally give up mid way through and move on to other new sources. You’re loosing regular and new users with your poor design, hire a new developer.
Beside that, long live Democracy Now!

DN app is terrible - any app developers out there?
DN is great but app is horrible! 1. Does not refresh date when re-opened /relaunched; 2. No refresh button (not even via home or menu); 3. If try to replay headlines it switches to full news (or even sometimes plays full news regardless of clicking headlines). Forget about this app. Stick with website-- much less frustrating.

Video issue
I don’t know exactly why but for whatever reason when I try to use this app the video just seems like it never loads so it doesn’t let me play anything and I end up having to go to the website and just watch the videos there. Maybe this is a user or Internet error but the website works fine so I don’t really see many other people saying that they have this issue so maybe it’s just me I don’t know lol

Besides some unrealistic preconceptions, it’s actually interesting news.
They have some unrealistic beliefs like that all or most people who take unemployment benefits do so because they need to and not just because it’s free money - but if you look beyond, it’s actually interesting news almost every time.
A+ news source A+ app
Democracy now is consistently one of the best news sources out there. They stand alone as THE left of center news source. For being a source without millions in funding and ad revenue, I’d expect their app to not be the best. I was dead wrong, the app allows you to easily read and navigate news articles. Thanks democracy now! Keep up the great work

LOVE THIS SO MUCH
I have found myself having to work across several platforms to be able to listen to the whole show, yet share a top story, or a segment with transcripts - this app has it all in one place! How did I not know it exists?!? Thank you for making the text in transcripts copy and paste-able. Lots of apps don’t. I’m so thrilled to use it!
