Broken login flow

If you use a password manager to log in, it just keeps saying “must be longer than 6 characters” or something for the password. No way to log in even though the password is filled in. Sloppy developers. And no way to report a bug.

I’m soooo disappointed with refund policy. DON’T do the “free” trial period

I canceled my subscription before the trial period ended. Somehow Daily Wire didn’t capture the cancellation. I contacted them the day after they charged me a FULL-YEAR membership and they wouldn’t refund. I wouldn’t suggest to anyone.

Constantly loses its place

Can’t use the app because if I’m reading an article or a comment section, and have to go over to another app temporarily and come back, it jumps to the top of the page and loses its place.

Too Many Ads!

I am a monthly insider. Not the top tier membership, but still more expensive than any other streaming service that I have seen. I have been a member for many years, but earlier this year the app became inundated with ads. When I give feedback, I am told my account is included in the testing of all these ads and that it is not permanent. Well, they told me that in July and again in October. I will not continue paying to get the same experience that any free site gives. Do better DailyWire!

Audio

I love the content in the app. However, about halfway through shorts, the audio goes out. Very frustrating.

Great content, app needs work

5 stars for the content!

Only 3 stars for the app, though, since it is almost unusable with how hot it makes phones and tablets (even on the latest iPhone Max)! Even 3 stars might be too generous for the current state of the app's behavior.

Dark mode is a blessing, though, so very much thanks for that!

My work around is to just use a web browser and go to the website, defeating the app's purpose.

Charged me without my knowledge.

I like this company, and I signed up for Daily Wire plus, when it was on sale. When the year ended that I got a deal on, they automatically charged my card again without so much as sending me a reminder on my email to let me know they are about to charge me full price for the whole next year. They would not give me a refund. I will probably never pay on this app again for that very reason. It was not at all right, and they could not have cared less when I tried to reach out and get a refund. I probably would have signed up again, had they not done that, but I definitely will not now.

Good to know

So thankful for Daily Wire information, we need more of this content.

Great content

All around great content

Yep.

The ONLY place I get my news. Thank you.

The only news source I trust.

Thank you Ben!

Best conservative outlet

Been following since 2015. Now an all access member. Hosts have a variety of opinions, but at the very core are truly conservative. Love all the extra content they provide to help win the culture back. Other conservative sites should follow their model.

News to Use

Daily Wire has been a bright spot in the dull and dreary land of news media. The reporting is fresh with a no-nonsense attitude, not nearly as biased as the legacy news media outlets have been of late. I have found it a bright spot in my day with upbeat stories and reports about news one can use. I love it!

Real, uncensored and intelligent though sometimes inconvenient truth is what Daily Wire specializes.

The intellectually ignorant t or dishonest will get the reality check they so desperately need! Snowflakes and liberals beware! You might even switch parties once you see the depth of the rot of the left!

Wonderful Content

This is the only major news source printing the truth. The personalities are great too especially Michael Knolls and Matt Fradd.

Improvement over the years

I first downloaded it back in 2018 I think. I had been using a podcast app just to listen to the podcasts I wanted from Daily Wire in my typical feed.

The app wasn’t anything special at the time from what I remember, and I preferred to just keep using the app called “Overcast” instead.

Flash forward to 2020 and I became a paid subscriber. Avoiding the ads were nice, but it still lacked features for listening to what I wanted with better controls. I paid for one year, and realized I should just stick with the free version for what I was using it for.

Flash forward to 2026 and a lot has changed. The app is fast, well laid out, and allows for downloads for when I may have coverage problems. You can change settings to prefer audio as the default loading option which I really love.

I really wanted to just cover app features in my review, but I can’t help but also say the content library has grown immensely. So much so that I think I’ll stay a paid subscriber for quite some time. This app design is now worthy of such high-quality content. Such appreciation for the Daily Wire team; keep up the good work!

Content is top notch, the app not so much.

I hope this new version crashes less. It usually quits at least once or twice during any show.

Real News

Excellent reporting and superior, balanced knowledge.
The ONLY news I listen to.
Knowles, the man has style.

Big problem with iPhone 18 pro max

App causes iPhone 18 pro max to overheat and drains battery within an hour (not entirely sure of the battery drain timeframe as I stopped the app to prevent overheating but it is very quick). There have been multiple updates since the iPhone 18 launch. Don’t know if this is a known problem or if it will be addressed.

Great content, frustrating app

The app is so buggy it’s annoying. The progress on a podcast gets lost constantly. If i listen live to a podcast and the live feed ends, progress just disappears, and the podcast stops and i have to find where it stopped.
Downloading content doesn’t work when I’m actually offline.
Then the layout and navigation are super confusing. I just want to listen to the latest episode of Ben Shapiro, and it always takes 5 clicks to find it.
Also the carplay app is not intuitive. Again, i just want to easily find the latest episode of my favorite host. Why is it buried in menus?
