Push notifications not working
Its been several days since installing the app and so far no push notifications have arrived. There are no configuration options for push notifications within the app. In the phone settings the Notifications are enabled for the DW app. Please fix.
Crash-prone
I am installing this the fourth time, keep getting a blank screen after a few uses.
Bias and Propaganda
I gave DW News a chance but the conflict between Israel and Palestine among other events made it abundantly clear how biased DW is and how much propaganda they push in their news
Widget Please
Hello, just some feedback. I really miss the old app along with offline mode for travel. Also, a Widget would be Great and would encourage a little more interaction.

Recent format change ruined the app
It was a good app until they decided to change it just for the sake of change. It is no longer convenient to review all the world news as you need to jump in and out of the menu groupings. This app was number 1 in my opinion previously and would have rated 5 stars. But the change in format has dropped it to a 1 star program now.
Please consider implementing dark mode
Love the reporting and content from DW, however the app experience can be improved by implementing dark mode.
Good, however…
I would love to see your app updated with widgets. I would also like to see Picture in Picture in the next update so that I could see the news and programming, whatever I am doing. Anyway, very good app.
Why is the Live Tv in German not working
I can watch German DW news on the tv and I taught I could also watch them live here as well. But it works only in English. What a disappointment! Still not working after I contacted the developer.
Last update broke app on iPhone
App no longer opens since update.
App now works again since latest update. Thanks!
App suddenly crashing
Today, with no App or iOS updates, the DW app crashes as soon as I open it. It flashes up and then shuts down.
