Content is excellent. App, not so much.
Democracy Now has become my go to source for quality unbiased thought provoking news.
Unfortunately, the app does not have the same quality. I do love that I can listen to the entire broadcast when I miss it on the radio. However, I consistently experience the app shutting down in the middle of my listening while on Wi-Fi, and some times can’t open it at all unless I delete the app and reinstall it.
I give the app 4 stars because I love listening to the broadcasts and their content.
If I were to rate the tech of the app itself based on my experiences, I would have to give it a 2 or 3.

Good for just the phone.
Love DM for its content.
App is good for the phone, but would be nice to have a Chromecast option. I'd much rather watch on my TV at home. In fact I won't watch an hour long program on my phone. Never have and never will. Because I can't cast, I will end deleting the app from my phone. I'll check back, maybe they'll add support soon.

Best News App!
I watch the daily news show almost daily and I love that there is also an audio version and transcript. The app works great every time and is super easy to use. Now I just want one for my ipad!
Needs more airtime
This show has become my go to source for reliable media representation. Once again, independent media stepping up to shoulder the work of the entire failing press. Amy never gets to finish an outro; at the very least, 15 more minutes per day!
*BEST* Daily TV News Journalism
Democracy Now! elevates broadcast news on public access "paper tiger" TV to world class journalism of the highest order. Democracy Now! Is an institution of journalistic integrity, committed to truth for humanity in pursuit of liberty and justice for all. Social Justice starts right here!
This app puts DN! on my smart phone daily! My best app!

One of the best, if not the best Journalistic shows everyone needs to be watching!
Exceptional integrity, with a no nonsense type of reporting that we haven't seen in over 30 years!
If the American people and people around the world were in a position to view this show, it would be a boon for the people who actually need information the MSM is not always reporting.
I thank Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzales, Narim (I do not want to misspell Narim's last name, my sincerest apologies, I attempted to look it up but cannot find the information on their website, sigh) for your steadfast dedication to bring incredibly important stories to light and never backing down!

App icon image
The app's image on the icon doesn't show up properly on the main app screen in ISO. Old app worked fine. The new one just shows a white square with thin black lines.
Overall Excellent
I listen to this show practically every morning through this app. Video quality is clear as well as the audio which I listen through. I listen primarily through a home router and once in a while the audio play stops. I press pause where I un-pause after like 5 sec. After this step, it works.
Excellent app design
This app is great! It has a clear interface, and I love how I can choose to view video, listen to audio, or read a transcript. And that I can do these things either with an entire broadcast or by individual segment. I haven't encountered any other news/journalism app that is so flexible.
One improvement idea: Provide immediate user-feedback when tapping a button. For example, sometimes I don't know if the app noticed that I tapped the Listen (headphones) button until audio begins playing several seconds later.

App crashes all the time...
I'm a warm supporter of DN. But, this app is really not good. I listen to audio news, and the app crashes 10-12 times before I get to the news. If i get to the news. It's been like this since the app was launched. Too bad!
