User Reviews

Most reviews praise the app for keeping German and international news current and useful for language learners, with several noting reliable, high‑quality German coverage. However, the dominant sentiment is negative about the December update: a video‑first feed that buries written articles, a chaotic UI, and a loss of quick, text-based viewing. Performance and loading issues are also common, with headlines loading slowly or not at all. Reviewers complain that customization is limited—personalization dominates and the traditional feed or sports exclusions are hard to control. A few users still value the timely coverage, but overall sentiment is mixed to negative.
Pros
  • Up-to-date, timely news coverage for German and international news.
  • High-quality German news with broad international coverage.
  • Useful for language learning and studying German.
  • Offers concise or detailed news options to fit different needs.
  • Overall informative and valuable information.
Cons
  • Video-first redesign dominates the feed, making headlines hard to skim and burying written articles.
  • Slow loading and inconsistent performance; headlines take ages to load or the app doesn't load at all.
  • Confusing, cluttered UI after updates; navigation and layout feel chaotic.
  • Written content is harder to access or often not up-to-date; full programs disappear, texts hidden behind taps.
  • Overemphasis on personalization and limited user control; no easy way to view a traditional news feed or exclude topics like sports.

Finde die App eigentlich gut and was ist mit der Performance seit dem blauen Gradient Update passiert? Die App läuft gerade so auf einem iPhone 17 Pro Max. Vorher war das viel besser. Auf älteren Geräten quasi nicht benutzbar.

The playbacks of videos don’t let you turn on the captions/subtitles of the videos. In the browser version, you can enable subtitles. Please add this functionality to the app version for videos.

The latest update introduced an awful user experience especially regarding the amount of video material. I rarely find whole written articles and are a lot of the times forced to watch videos. Please bring back the old UI
