User Reviews

Users broadly praise ZDFheute for solid, up-to-date news and smooth performance, with many calling it a strong app overall and praising features like Meine News. However, recurring issues appear in multiple reviews: video playback sometimes won’t start and subtitles are missing; concerns about bias and incomplete coverage; limited language/translation support and no easy text copy; and insufficient push notification topic customization. Some also note accessibility/readability problems and wish for faster loading. Overall, the app is well-regarded but faces content and UX gaps that frequent users want addressed.

Pros

Good, up-to-date news content.
App runs smoothly and reliably.
Meine News feature is useful.
Overall positive user experience with the app.

Cons

Video playback often fails to start and subtitles are missing.
Perceived bias and missing/imbalanced coverage of stories.
Limited translation/copy-to-translate features and unclear language controls.
Push notification customization for topics is lacking.

Recent reviews

I really love the experience with this app. But there is one thing: When reading an article, then switching to another App and back, it always shows that there is something wrong. When you press the back button everything is fine. This bug is sometimes really annoying. Thanks for fixing it in a future release.
