Sadly, DW has deteriorated in the quality of its reporting. Comments are too extreme far left and it erroneously refers to the conservative rightwing politics as far right. Very devisive for community stability! News media must be more professionally neutral! Also, one is no longer able to post or share topics on social media! This flaw needs fixing as well.

Clicking on a notification will bring you to a blank screen. Unable to click into most if not any of the news articles. Live TV link kind of works, takes a lot of buffering if it loads at all. This is not a problem I have with anything else internet concerned. I am in Australia, with a good provider and am using this on a Motorola g54 5g
