DailyWire+

This app is crucial, which very few apps can say they share the same status. However, it has two really big issues. 1. The app when playing PiP will randomly lose its place and PiP will go black (often when rewinding or fast forwarding). When you try to go full screen to resolve the issue, the entire app will close and will not save your place in the video. 2. When you are playing an episode and have left the app and closed out of PiP, you may think that the app is on hold until you return to it, but you’d be wrong. Any time you answer a call, play a different video or song, or even so much as to unlock your phone, the audio will begin playing again. Definitely infuriating when you’re trying to put babies to bed and try to use your phone for light when it starts playing Matt Walsh louder than a nuclear bomb. Those are the actual issues, but for suggestions I’d say you need the app to remember your place on videos. It does do this for me but only about 10% of the time. My review is intended for the producers, however if you are a regular person wondering whether or not you want to get this app and/or pay for a subscription, the answer is 1,000,000x yes. Not only will you have incredible and honest news updates, quite the rarity these days, but you will also have high quality content built around the values that you and your family share, as well as documentaries researching in depth the topics that are hammered on our culture today. Don’t forget the entertainment for both you and your children! When it comes to hot topics, there is nothing they won’t say or research. Except vaccines….

I enjoy all the content of the DailyWire whether I agree with all of it or not. It is well presented, often humorous, and always thought provoking. The app implementation, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Finding information in the app is very difficult and non-intuitive even for full access members. Things like “how to write to mailbag” or “what is next book in book club” among many other things are difficult to find. I appreciate having choice of video or audio for content but it is very bad at remembering “where” you were when you go back to listen to something you didn’t finish and to navigate to audio in car requires pulling over - having good CarPlay integration or a way to list favorites to easily get to would save lives. The iPadOS version is also very bad. Except when watching videos full screen, it always defaults to “portrait mode” - more and more, people use iPads with a keyboard in landscape mode and having to turn your head sideways is very annoying. It is also good that you have options for audio or video for the same content as I will often start something audio-only in the car or on a walk and then finish with the video when stationary - however, it would be much better if “where” you were was remembered as to switch you have to manually find your place (same for switching to another device). Love all the new stuff in DailyWire+ but perhaps you could re-direct some of the funds to making the app better. It really should be up to the level of the content and right now it falls far short.

I’ve been a long time fan of Ben, Jordan B. Peterson, and Candace Owens. So, naturally, when I heard Daily Wire was creating a service that would allow me to seamlessly watch all three of these magnificent speakers, I just had to subscribe. Literally the same day I found out, I had All-Access for the next year. I haven’t regretted it for one second. They’re seemingly the only news source presenting facts without bias, and the political commentary is always stellar. So, why 4 stars, then, you might ask? It’s the app. Specifically one major problem I have with the app is that when I full screen video content, there remains a bar on the bottom of the screen that blocks a portion of the video. More specifically, it blocks the portion of the video in which closed captioning appears. As a hard of hearing person, I rely on closed captioning at all times to get the most out of news and entertainment. If the development team were to fix this, I’d immediately amend my review to be 5 stars. Thank you UPDATE - Developers fixed the black bar bug only hours day after my review! Great receptiveness to feedback from the Daily Wire dev team. Updated my review to be 5 stars
