DW - Breaking World News users say on Google Play
An excellent news source. I like it because it's accurate and well written. It also helps me with learning German😊. I really like the layout of the app on my pixel 8. Thank you for your excellent app and superb news reporting and reporters of DW. American News media here could learn good things to make news more accurate and relevant in here in the USA from DW. Ciao, Claudio H. USA I wanted to add it works perfectly on Android 16 Pixel 8 latest updates. Ciao, Claudio H
After reading an article, when trying to go back to the main page, using Android's back button, the app freezes. I have restart the app to get start this over. This wasn't a problem until a few days ago. Otherwise I really like the app and how the content is selected, written and presented.
Unable to load content. Constantly. Don't ask if I use a private DNS. I use a VPN service. For a reason. Used to be better. DW has always been a preferred source of news, and will continue to be. But unfortunately, not via the app anymore.
The problem starts when you are commuting on a tube. The app wants to be online all the time, and when you are between the stations with no Internet it doesn't show you the already loaded content. It throws an error message and freezes until you are online again. Very annoying
on my Google pixel, the App doesn't survive more than a minute before I get a toast message saying that the app isn't responding - close app or wait I really wonder how the testing and development goes for the app that this issue, which I have noticed for more than 2-3 months isn't fixed. I have not read a single article for months on the app. it was my only source of German news in English.
