Top tier news app
…enjoying for years….but latest update dec2023 crashes each attempt to open on Apple TV. (Still works fine on my iPad Pro)
Hope you fix TV app to reach 5 stars again. Thanks.
Good but Buggy; freezes frequently
Often stops playing video, exacerbated if changing orientation.
Each morning session requires me to close and reopen App perhaps six times.
Good programs.Current events
I like the Rev, tomorrow today, fitness and eco news programs. All available on demand
Like your news but you need to update your App
I like reading DW at anytime I have, it’s trusted source for me or at least more reliable than others. But you need to upgrade your phone apps in the meaning that make it more easier to navigate menu, more touch supports, and bring us dark mode (I can only read well in dark mode)
Updated: you guys really to add “Dark mode” for better reading. I’m in dark mode all the time from computer and phone.
Dark mode please
Great app …great programs… just include dark mode feature in settings please.
Back arrow
Even though the app is quite good, why would you put the back arrow down in the lower left corner in the redesign? It is so frustrating.
Picture in Picture, HECK YES
With free access to the live stream through picture in picture mode, the DW app is now far superior to the BBC app. I love being able to watch the news while doing other things. The interface is still great.
DW, you rock as always

Video Streaming
After many years I am in last 2weeks unable to stream program video segments via Apple TV. Note: I can continue same using other Apps like BBC. What gives?

Barely usable app
There have been major problems with the app on iOS for a while now. The content does not load on the homepage or in the focus tabs. There’s just a blank white screen. Recent updates only seem to make it worse.
Breaking news stories from 2022?
The app had been working well since I installed it on my phone a couple of weeks ago. stories posted were current and up to date. This morning top news stories are from 2022 even after a manual refresh, sports stories from pre world cup 2022.
I'm not sure what happened in the data source; doesn't matter. App is removed. ❌
App jumps around constantly
While i respect DW a lot as a news source, the app has a serious problem. It keeps returning to the top of the homepage, whether you’ve scrolled down on the page, or even gone to an article. It just keeps resetting every few seconds to the top of the home page… makes it impossible to read anything.
