Still needs work
Beverlynell

My only complaint centers around its share capabilities. It’s easy to share a particular story, but how do I share the entire show? And why do I want to share the whole show? Because that’s the only way to share the musical break. I have to use my computer, copy the link for that day’s show and tell a friend to forward to minute 46 to catch the musical break. Please please please make your musical breaks separate just like the stories. Thanks.


Great full

When the (now referred to News Hour, on PBS) first broadcast it was a place to go for unbiased news. Something I’ve always been passionate about. It started at a time when reporters saw their work being stifled, in a time of misinformation, as we see today. Because as a whole the US does not value this important information, they’ve been bought and paid for ? Thank goodness you are here. Thank You Maureen


FREEZE

The app continues to freeze, each time that I share an article. The article goes through, but then freezes or crashes or whatever, forcing me to relaunch the app. Please fix it! Thanks


Best Show in the World - Worst App Tho
Hinckley51'

First: I can’t live without DN! The app? Just not ready for prime time. Every morning I click on is a mystery as to whether or not the audio version will load! If it doesn’t (30% of the time) I reluctantly try the video version. I’m reluctant to use it because then, you’re trapped unable to surf while listening. Even THEN, half of the time I’m in video view IT locks up mid-story and becomes impossible to watch without clicking PAUSE/PLAY over and over again. I’ll always TRY but if you guys could upgrade your process/technology/app, that would be awesome!! Posting this review from a point of love for DemocracyNow!!!


Needs an update
Sameritech

Hasn’t been updated in 3 years! Not full screen, can’t jump back or forward without dragging the bar, boring interface. Disappointed in this app as I’m a regular contributor and apparently my funds haven’t been used keep this app current.

App hasn’t worked properly since 9/21

I can’t get the app to play videos anymore. It might be because I updated iOS. Also, the app doesn’t have short fast forward/buttons, which is a real flaw. The news, however, is great. Watching (or reading or listening to the headlines every day would make anyone pretty well informed in just 10 minutes per day. I recommend the headlines to anyone who wants to be well informed, regardless of your political opinions. The other segments are interesting and informative as well. They have an anti-war, pro human rights, pro-democracy, pro-choice bias, but are very informative. Everyone has a bias, so I’m not saying this is bad.


Mr.

Good app. Although I often have my own oppinion about most stories, this app has worked on my tablet, but I have not used it there since updating it to OS or IOS 14, but have since that update used it on my 7 plus phone, but it seems to freeze up when the video is turned on, and needs fixing. Just thought I would let you know just incase I am the only one that is noticing this. O by the way I am using voiceover. From Peter Earl Frandsen


A GREAT update BUT...
Sh'ma!

Please allow to navigate by 5 or 10 seconds (on a LOCKED phone and ON an AppleWatch). Otherwise a much needed step forward! Thank you.
