    Jederzeit und berall bestens informiert mit der DW App f r Ihr Smartphone oder Tablet. Aktuelle Nachrichten, Live-TV, Audios und Videos on demand - kurz gesagt: wissen, was in der Welt passiert, egal wann und ...
    Articles generally okay for overview of German perspective on world events but no in depth treatment In sports bizarre behavior with incorrect links articles do not open to actual topic Only plausible explanations are 1 programmed that way for a laugh on reader or 2 11 year old Heiner grandson of DW boss hasn t quite mastered HTML             Okay but Dust Behind Truck
    Akhbar Farsi                     Best Application News ArianaPhone
    It would be nice if the next update would be optimized for the iPhone X screen             Please optimize for the iPhone X screen Golden lotus
    I really like to read Germany news but i really wish that to have an DW app for German learning                     Great app Mizo0oooo
    After upgrading it deleted all my saved articles and the new interface is awful     Do not update Gyamco
    I had to read the reviews here to figure out what was going on with the app in my iPad here is my review A Screen appears small in landscape mode the image is zoomed and there is no little square with arrow to seize up the image I thought that DW had decided to get rid of it B The solution is to turn the iPad to portrait mode and then touch the tv image to widen it only then you can turn back to portrait mode and watch the news Please put the square by the image so we can enhance it without turning I can imagine many people had the same trouble Content 5 stars 10 if compared to tv news in the US                 New version tv screen works but not intuitive Manuel94
    This latest version only plays live TV in a small box Am I missing something                 Video no longer fills screen Tucsonfootyfan
    The only missing feature is the ability to play live tv I used to play it before but after some updates it doesn t work                 Live video doesn t play anymore Marino V
    It stops playing in the middle of live streaming No way to search programs like the web site so you have to look through every tile to find a program specific program you want to see A lot of times it just cannot get a connection when the web site works just fine The only thing that is better than the web site is that the player keeps the screen on when buffering takes too long while the with the web site the screen will go off if bufferring takes too long Update yes there is a search option but it is horrible Results appear in some random order and there is no way to change it         DW asked me to rate it so I did hawtboi
    Am I right that there s no way to increase the font size its tiny That would seem to be a basic function of any reading app nowadays If the capability is there I certainly couldn t find it         No font size NYC is home
    It is easy to navigate to intelligently written articles on subjects that I find to be insightful and thought provoking As an American I appreciate Deutsche Welle second only to the New York Times                     Excellent Articles Mark 1241
    The app crashes when it s on TV section and it won t load the live videos either I really love this app but please fix this bugs Thanks             The TV section carashes Kooroshication
    Dear DW Team I have been an off and on user of your mobile app for the past six years I use the app in German to improve my reading And I absolutely love the app especially Die Top Themen in Drei Minuten videos because you guys provide quality world news coverage with a different perspective than American or British correspondents I also love that you guys cater to language learners langsam gesprochenes Deutsch z B However in an update a year or two ago you guys took away one of the features of the app which made it much easier to learn your wonderful language which let me tell you it was a pain in the beginning but now I love what I can do in German which I can t in English that feature which is fairly universal among all text across all apps on the iPhone is the ability to highlight words by holding your thumb finger over them with the option to Loop up nachschlagen a word you don t know I ve finally reached a point in my German language learning where I feel comfortable using the Duden dictionary installed on the iPhone however I d rather read F A Z over DW now solely because of the ease this features permits Please bring back the highlight and nachschlagen Please                 Great Reportage World Coverage But Would Like to See a Feature Replaced seano1026
    Excellent source of news in German and English The site is a cornucopia of articles podcasts videos and materials for learning German The offerings are huge they are free and of very high quality I use the site every day and strongly recommend it for students of German or anyone interested in Germany                     Deutsche Welle Longtime Student of German
    Muy til para ver la programaci n en vivo noticias y otras informaciones                     Muy til Lorkiva
    I love having a more international prospect when it comes news and this is the app Also they do a 24 7 live stream on YouTube great honest reporting keep it up DW you guys are awesome                     I love this app Fishmanndude
    This app requires an update It doesn t work on iPhone 6s with 10 2 1 Back when it worked I would have given it 3 stars     DW no longer works Random_65143
    I downloaded this to listen to Langsam Gesprochene Nachrichten a daily news podcast but it doesn t seem to be available through this app The search function is also very limited as there are no search options meaning I can t sort by date added media type length skill level etc Also I cannot press and hold words to define them as I can in Safari so I have to leave the app to get definitions Overall this app is not helpful for those learning German and is in general inferior to the mobile site the only benefit of this app is offline mode         Limited content and poor search Rnldd
    I have to scroll through hundreds of clips just to find the one program I d like to watch I usually use a web browser instead         Needs a list of available programs Ameilio
    Had to uninstall     Tired of the left spin on everything chkur6
    Update this is now in Arabic for the live feed and I cannot put it back in English This is unacceptable I don t speak Arabic What is wrong with your coders Fix this All the articles are in English and the live stream is in Arabic How does that even happen I also still cannot use the app in portrait mode I don t care to read in landscape Why is this locked in landscape orientation on iPad yet works fine in both formats on iPhones I m sick of turning my tablet sideways to read articles when I don t read most books that way Get it together     So many complaints Raantuva
    Great news coverage No Advertising excellent More news than own opinion Keep up the great work                     One of the Best News Apps whateverdad
    Good stuff to read and watch                     Nice app Lorenzo123RLmde
    It crashed a few weeks ago and will not open I can t delete it and reinstall It s frozen up What s the deal     Crashed IowaDaniel
    Every time I open this app it asks me to update even if my version is up to date Please fix it     immer update mr bananana
    Great content but you have to be a genius to find the live TV button Also I can t get videos to automatically shift to landscape mode when I flip phone horizontally                 Where s the Live dwboston
    At first the app didn t work but that seems to have been an anomaly Otherwise it works well and has many language options including English and German The articles provide a good overview of relevant international news stories from a European perspective                     It works well and offers a lot Bobio33
    Censorship Every story opens fine except the one about German police worried about anti immigrant violence The app crashes when that particular story is clicked Weird     Crashes upon opening a story OldDoc46
    I uninstalled the app because it forces me to use the iPad horizontally     No Vertical view on iPad Kliffy77
    Love this news app wouldn t change a thing would recommend to just get rid of comment sections or have better moderators Kremlinbots spam with nonsense making it impossible to have intelligent convos I d rather not have it than to see it abused             Good articles app but Pat Man J0NES
    Love DW but the recent update has a bug             Crashes dec 7 jg1way
    Just to say the app is working great for me Apparently some vocal others are experiencing crashes                     Excellent not_stickman
    I love DW Use it to stay up on European news and perspective But it s crashing every time I sign on Must be the new update I just loaded                     Crashing Mon'ma Way
    Used to be great but after the update it just crashes when you open it Please fix     Crashes CleDave
    updated the app and now it crashes as soon as it loads             keeps crashing nimble2
    It crashes every time I open it     Crashes May4564354
    Actualizada no funciona Se cierra La tenes que desinstalar y volver a instalarla y ah si funciona             Ok JosĂŠ76arg
    I m really enjoying this app The content is easy to navigate and well presented I m so happy to now have DW and NPR as my go to online and mobile sources for serious and relevant journalism                     Great App ~ArtemisPrime~
    But that s about it Needs Video modern interface ability to tap on a German word and get the English translation or other languages     Better Than Nothing beste Pferd im stall
    Its good but not great          
    IPhone Running 71 no Sound     No Sound in any language
    Ich bin Deutsch Lehrer in Amerika und ich möchte Deutsch anhören Warum ist das Livestream auf Englisch synchronisiert Mag ich nicht           Nicht so gut
    There are some positive features to this new version but overall its a step backwards The number of available sections and articles is ridiculously small you cannot do searches livefeed and videos cannot be played via AirPlay on the AppleTV anymore Had I known it would be so bad I would have never updated        Step backwards
    Good app              Recommend
    The screen splits in two and scrolls independently like having two iPhones side by side Streaming presents a black screen with only music for about 10 seconds Useless app     Terrible interface no video
    1How is it possible that all the video offered is only in English Even that which was originally filmed in German is dubbed into English 2 Why is there no audioonly content Theirs video but duh its not suited for people occupied with driving work etc I KNOW DeutscheWelle produces a lot of audio content its on the website so why isnt it available here 3 Make GERMAN audio and video content available please Isnt DW financed via the German taxpayer Shouldnt they be helping spread German language and culture Agh Very disappointing     What does the D in DW stand for
    Love live programming Still room for improvement              Good Start
    I normally read DW in German to maintain my language skills Unfortunately the new app has removed the dictionary lookup feature which allowed the user to select a word in the text of an article and look it up on an associated GermanEnglish dictionary I really want this feature back           Big Disappointment
    Commercial free English and other separate language feeds Totally addictive content The design and functionality of the app is the utmost high quality Just watch it and see for yourself                 Cord Cutters Dream
    Goaaag                 Goos
    I wish it could stream audio in multitasking mode When I use another app the streaming cuts     Does not support background audio playback
    This latest bug fix released July 3 has made it impossible to open this App Please fix this problem     Ted
    It looks great as a iranian user i appreciate dw to support persian language                 Great
    I read the articles here in two languages It cant be my only source for news and analyses but it complements other news apps I have Suggestion for developers Please add the back button to the end of the articles This way we dont have to scroll all the way up to find it after reading the articles              It complements other apps I have
    Very happy to have found this                 Amazing
    The app keeps crashing still while select a top from the left side blue menu in Persian language I though todays release will fix this issue but it has not yet resolved Please revise and fix the cause of crashing on next update     Keeps crashing
    Very poor sharing capability and just overall weak user interface Like a watered down version of the website A shame from such a good and balanced news outlet     Wheres integration
    Very good quality content as the channel on TV              Excellent
    Clean easy to navigate Looks really good The life news stream is tremendous                 A very good app
    Same problem others mentioned no German even when you choose German as your default language Zero points     No German
    Where is the German language Come on     Deutsch without deutsch
    DW had the potential to be one of my go to news appspast tense Although it may look slick I do not find the current version very easy or efficient to use BBC made changes in its app that looks very similar Their previous version was much more usable Too bad as I found the overseas perspective on the news valuable Now the apps are Amosa unusable     Not user friendly
    Recent update broke the app     App does not work
    But thats about it Needs Video modern interface ability to tap on a German word and get the English translation or other languages     Better Than Nothing
    Not working on IOS 712 cant run application no internet connection     Not working
    Some reviewers have whined that the app doesnt have language versioningbut it does They havent taken the trouble to explore the app before complaining Look for the blue setting button in the upper right 1 choose your language preference 2 choose your channel origin 3 refresh the content Deutsche Welle is the greatest                 App is great Rebuttal to whiners
    The app works fine but the setup is horrible           Kdkudjemwusse
    Like                 Like app
    There is no audio with the video Worthless     No audio
    Crashes so often Sometimes hard to get through a single story without restarting app 2 or 3 times Really frustrating Love the content but app is SO buggy     Crashes every time I use it
    Not so bad as others make it out to be Good practice for building language skills I really wish there was a mode to quickly switch between the German and English version of the articles so I can build my vocab           Its works for me
    Unfortunately the application is not wowking correctly and dont update new news Please fix bugs related it     Fixed it
    Seriously I can deal with it dubbed in English but I do suggest that you fix that but what I cant stand is that it keeps telling me it that this part of the show is not allowed on the Internet Are you really going to try to make us to either spend money we dont have so we can watch everything on tv or we have to endure it telling us that we cant watch half the shows on the Internet    
    Only 3 min of news headlines now no real news as before Two months ago best half hour English speaking news program on planet Earth        Better before
    No sound in live streaming This version is useless     Audio broken
    You can easily set up the country and the language                 Good app
    واقعا نرم افزارى خوبيهمرسى از دويچوله كه فارسى هم به طور كامل پوشش ميده                 دويچ
    Now I can say its the best news app on the AppStore but the missing thing is the breaking news on the Notification Center                 Thanks for listening
    Sound doesnt work on live streaming     No Sound
    Piece of junk needs to be rewritten will not allow me to listen to anything Im German only English     Very poor app
    Who uses apps in landscape mode these daysDo some RD and develop it in both portrait and landscape mode     Landscape mode
    Diese Version ist eine große Verbesserung ABER warum kein Livestreaming auf Deutsch           Ausgezeichnete Website
    Where is the streaming radio content All is see are videos and even those cannot be viewed with the German language I selected Deutsch in the language settings but this apparently only changed the text of written articles I miss the German streaming radio     No good
