User reviews

Users generally find the app essential for accessing Deutschlandfunk news and radio with objective content and a simple interface. However, repeated complaints include poor dark mode readability, inadequate streaming media controls (like pause functionality), slow or failed newsfeed updates, delayed breaking news content, and the inability to copy text. Despite these issues, the app is praised for content quality and its utility for daily news consumption.

Pros

App is simple, modern, and easy to use without unnecessary features.
Great for listening to Deutschlandfunk radio and news content, used daily by many.
Content quality is highly praised, with strong and useful segments like 'Hintergrund' and 'Presseschau'.
Essential app for anyone wanting quick access to Deutschlandfunk news and radio.

Cons

Dark mode color scheme is hard to read, especially with dark blue headers; users want customizable colors.
App's streaming audio player lacks basic media controls (pause, automatic headphone pause), causing frustration.
Newsfeed updates slowly or fails to refresh properly, leading to outdated content and poor experience.
Eilmeldungen (breaking news alerts) appear before corresponding content is available in the app, causing delays and confusion.
App does not allow copying text from news articles, limiting usability and sharing.

Leider nur die Wahl zwischen viel zu großen Bildern und gar keine Bilder.

Funktioniert prima. Bitte testet den Darkmode mit geringer Beleuchtung: die dunkelblauen Überschriften sind schwer lesbar. Update nach >1 Jahr: der Darkmode nutzt immer noch schwer lesbare Farben. Bitte macht die Farben einfach konfigurierbar. Danke
