best news app ever .. comprehensively informed about everything, politics, science .. lots of in-depth background information .. they try hard to be objective and without bias .. great archive .. I have been reading DER SPIEGEL journal since my child hood .. kept me on top of worldwide political issues throughout my life .. free version very limited, the really interesting content requires subscription, which is very expensiv, but in view of no other alternative it is worth it

I miss Spam! The world is serious enough, keep bringing us jokes. The new app: Way too many Sp+ articles. If I would like to subscribe to Sp+ I would have done so quite a while ago. Make the text of an article also clickable (per today I need to click on the headline or the picture). It is very unintuitive right now. Make the pictures scalable. Right now I cannot zoom into a picture, for example to read a text. Remove the confirmation click when closing the app. Very annoying.

This used to be by far the best news app in germany, but now nearly all articles are behind a pay wall. Not only is 20 euros a month waaay too much, but you can literally find the same articles in English on cnn and other apps since they mostly don't even write them themselves. Probably my biggest disappointment in the whole appstore! Edit: They actually managed to make it even worse. The app now has such huge advertisements in it, that the whole thing is super laggy. App has no value anymore.
