DailyWire+ - The Best Unbiased News Source

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

All Access is worth it for Klavan

If you have not scaled up to All Access yet, you owe it to yourself, if for no other reason than to listen to Andrew Klavan's Q&As, available only to All Access Members. He is one of those rare people who is naturally articulate, but who also brings to the table a writer's honed voice, deep and piercing insights into the nature of things (seemingly almost all things) borne of a long life of ups and downs while listening and thinking, and the clincher: a fearless sense of humor. I suspect he'll hate me for this, but Trigger Warning: If you are offended at first, give it a minute. His genuine love for the very best in each of us will eventually seep through, and you'll likely discover the truth in what he is saying, even if you have a valid counterpoint. I don't know what deal he made with God, but this man is pure wisdom. To top it all off, it's weird (I think it's because he so clearly appreciates his listeners and shares so honestly), but you feel like he is that favorite uncle you hardly ever get to see, and it's Christmas Eve so he's had an eggnog, has loosening up, and is at his best. Anyway, enough gushing. Fork over the extra few bucks and enjoy.

Die Hard Fan

I have been subscribed as an all access member for two years now. Going into my 3rd year next month on my birthday. This is my birthday present every year as the subscription is kinda expensive (but for good reason. I believe in what they are doing and gladly give them the support) however…..my only 2 complaints is that 1) I never got my leftist tears tumbler lol but mainly 2) is that every now and then, the app will not do my all access or membership perks to the shows I watch. I watch Ben every day he has a show, and occasionally I have to listen to the ad reads and don’t get the end of his show because the app doesn’t register my membership. I have updated the app, restarted it, etc. it’s very annoying that I have paid this much money to not get the access I paid for. It doesn’t happen often and still gladly give my support. This is just an annoyance that happens at LEAST twice a month. Usually when I watch his show after supper time because I got busy during the day and I guess the programmers are working on the app sometimes in the evening (I assume) but still. This shouldn’t be this consistent of a problem. Will gladly give 5 stars when this issue is resolved ❤️ God bless yall.

The Best

Another update: I don’t have the issues others are having anymore. Have you guys updated the app? I did finally get it to pause starting about a month ago. In fact, the things I mentioned were a problem (in an earlier version of this review) were addressed and fixed! I am so grateful for the developer response on our reviews. I have never gotten such service from an app. And I’m glad they are working to fix all bugs. Every complaint I had has been addressed and/or updated. I’m impressed with the customer service. I hope it gets better for you guys, too. Just remember to keep it updated. 🙂 I love this app. I appreciate the news from this point of view and the opinion and satire articles are clearly marked. I especially love the podcasts. {Update: is there any way to make a “favorites” list so I don’t have to go through so many pages to listen to my favorite shows?[This has been addressed, thank you]}

Love DW+ but the app needs work.

Love the content and the movement, but there are some bugs for sure. I drive a lot, almost exclusively when listening to the podcasts. If I go down a bar or two, or switch from 5G to LTE, even for just a moment, it is a fight to get it working again. I mean restarting completely sometimes won’t even load the shows page. Basically, buffering is terrible. If I start watching a show that’s already live, but I’m just a little late, once the show ends it’ll just stop the stream completely. When I go back to the show page to begin the tedious process of restarting the show, that episode isn’t available. It doesn’t become available for a while after the live stream stops. If I have to pause a show and go to another app, or just lock my phone for too long it just takes me back for the home page when I get back on. Worst part is the app doesn’t remember where I left off. I have learned to remember what time I leave off if I have to pause. Also, the app will randomly pause despite service. The app is frustrating and not worth it. Absolutely terrible app, great service. Anyways, just a few off the top of my head. Love the work you all do.

Great content but bad app!

I love all the content and I listen to most all of it, however the app needs a lot of work. The UI is fine but for some reason this is the only app that I can’t listen to a pod cast and drive around town without buffering, very annoying driving for 4-5 min listening to nothing 2 or 3 times in a drive, I will probably be listening to much less once I start driving to work again. Also when you are listening to a show on a device like ear buds or car and you pause it because you have to talk to someone or go into a store the app starts playing automatically. It continues to play even when I hit pause again making me shut down the app and losing my spot on the show. Because of this when I want to listen to the show where I left off I have to find the spot. Lastly and probably the most annoying, when getting a call when I am listening to the app I hit pause or the call pauses it automatically the show starts up again so I now am talking to the person on the phone while Ben is also coming though, forcing me to close the phone app and find the show to close the app because pausing it only prolongs the show turning on again during my call. PLEASE FIX, JUST BECAUE I OPEN MY PHONE TO ACCEPT A CALL OR TEXT DOES NOT MEAN I WANT THE PODCAST TO START WHERE I LEFT OFF!!!!!

App Needs Some Work

If I’m on the app reading an article and the article takes me to another website, say Twitter, then when I try to return to the article I was reading the app has restarted and I start back at the beginning of articles I’ve already scrolled through. Happens about 50% of the time. When listening to podcasts and using Bluetooth headphone, if you pause the podcast and then take out your headphones and put them away, the app automatically starts playing the podcast again even with your phone locked. I’ve paused podcasts for 10+ minutes, just to have them randomly start playing again without hitting anything. I’ve also experienced the podcasts playing during phone calls despite pausing. If I’m reading an article, complete it, then hit the back arrow about 50% of the time I’m taken back to the top of the list of articles, rather than where I just was so I have to scroll again and again to find where I had gotten to. Usually don’t leave reviews but the past couple of app updates have yet to have fixed issues that I see everyday, it makes using the app frustrating a lot of the time

Awful App

I love the daily wires content and subscribed to their DailyWire+ service about two years ago. I let the subscription lapse because the app was so bad. I primarily listen to their podcasts which are great. However, this app is a total disaster. It does not keep track of the podcasts you’ve listen to, and even when I try to just keep a podcast running, but can’t listen to the whole thing at once, often I will go back and even though I haven’t closed out the app it will have closed out itself. When the app reopens, it does not go back to the podcast you were listening to. Furthermore, it does not even mark the place where you were in the last podcast you were listening to. It’s really just an awful awful app. I’m going to recommend that if people want to subscribe to daily wire plus for purposes of getting the extra content, the fact that you have to access the extra content through the app is just not worth it. I go back to just listening to the episodes on my regular Overcast app. Because listening to them on the app is so horrible. I’m writing this review because I hope somebody at Dwire will take notice and either fix the app, create a new app, or just make the podcasts downloadable for subscribers.

Recent Survey

My name is Rosario O’Neil and I am a member of the DW. I love what you are doing with the conservative media (It was about time!) and watching different shows on the DW everyday has become sort of a family tradition. My absolute favorite is Ben Shapiro. Recently, I completed a survey that you sent about entertainment. I did not see my kind of entertainment which, I must say, is becoming very well known all over the world and it is very appropriate for families, in most cases: Korean drama. Despite language barriers, it is becoming a favorite in Europe and Latino America. The secret? Variety of plots (historical , ghosts, romance, office daily life, mafia…), family friendly (no nudity, no sex talk, limited awful language, limited violence ), moral values are promoted ( friendship, marriage, clean romantic love, hard work, love for country…), great actors an fabulous writing. Also, the number of episodes is limited, usually around 16. I believe that it is an option worth to take into consideration. I hope this idea can help you make a better DW and make some money in the process too! Thank you for everything you do!

The most accurate information you will get.

I am a subscriber to the Daily Wire with that being said I will make this review as unbiased as I can. Listening to the Ben Shapiro show is great, he always presents the information first and then provides commentary or opinion, it is very common these days to hear news anchors explain a story or information with their own interpretation of it, this is not the case here, Ben also encourages listeners to get utilize other sources for information to hear other perspectives. What other news station of information source actually tell the people consuming it to listen to a different perspective? Not many, if any at all. I very much enjoy the newest addition to the app, Morning Wire. Morning Wire is great as all the info for the day is served in less than 15 minutes, perfect for the morning coffee or the short commute. I’m very satisfied with the app as the developers continually try to improve it. Thank you.

Honest Critical Analysis

This is a conservative news source, so obviously they will have conservative stances on most issues. However, the difference between Daily Wire and the mainstream media is that they are 100% honest and open about their biases. Additionally, they will spend time actually addressing opposing arguments before explaining why they think they are wrong. Furthermore, they are not afraid to call out their “own side” when they think they have made a mistake or have done something wrong. I can safely say that because of the Daily Wire that I am more informed on current political and cultural issues than 99% of my classmates in college. I cannot speak highly enough of the coverage all of the hosts provide. Each one offers something a little bit different, both on an entertainment and informational level. If you’re looking for honest, critical analysis of news with humor built in, then look no further than the Daily Wire.

Great app with one fix needed

I love the app and all the different content offered and enjoy that there are free and membership options. I would not have gotten my membership without having access to some of the free content. I think there is some really important information in the Shot in the Dark series and have tried to send the free (first 3) episodes to friends through a link but when they attempt to watch using the link it says they need a membership. I found out that they cannot access the otherwise free videos through my link because I have a membership and it requests they get one as well. I am hoping this can be fixed so that I can easily share what I am seeing with my friends without them having to download the app and go searching for it themselves. Otherwise this is a great and easy to navigate app with unbiased and important content!

Whoever is in charge of your app creation needs to be fired!

While I love the content of The Daily Wire, the app just can’t get it right. It’s recently gotten better, but there’s still so many problems, whoever is in charge of creating and maintaining it needs to be fired. Seriously. The latest awfulness of the app is that it will suddenly start to play even after a podcast has been paused. So for example, if you’re listening to it through Bluetooth in your car and you turn the car off and press pause in the app, once you remove your phone from the USB cable, it will just start playing again. It continues to play if you get a phone call. If you have the small window open within another app, it will randomly play even after you hit pause. I had it start playing out of the blue at work once! It’s so irritating and annoying. I’m an all access member and expect better quality for my dollar. If the content were so good and important, I would have deleted the app long ago. Please Daily Wire, fix this!

Great! Just needs a little more work.

I absolutely love The Daily Wire and the conservative insight they provide from so many different angles and the fact that they have made all of this into one convenient app. I have been an all access member for quite sometime now. However, the only thing keeping me from giving a 5 star rating is the functionality of the app. I’ve noted frequent crashes when the app is running in the back ground. The “continue watching” section doesn’t show your last watched video, nor do any of them keep placement history if you have to log out and pick up where you left off later. I also have issues with the video automatically starting to play when the app is running in the background, paused, and I start videoing something with my camera or start a phone call. These are simple programming issues that I sincerely feel would make the use of the app easier and much more seamless. Keep up the great work!

Tired of Only Hearing One Side?

I downloaded this app after listening to a few of Ben Shapiro’s podcasts. For a long time, I tried to stay out of politics because of the nonsensical ideas and policies being promoted by the left. I thought as a Christian, I could stick my head in the sand and somehow ignore it. 2020 changed that! After the attempts to vilify and defund the police, the 24/7 attacks on Trump through biased media, the refusal of the left to listen to science in regard to Covid, and the way the Democrats are attempting to silence anyone who has conservative beliefs, I decided to get involved by downloading this app and became a subscriber of The Daily Wire. I ♥️listening to the podcasts when I’m walking my dogs and now feel more socially and politically aware enough to hold conversations with my friends, family, and colleagues. Thank you to The Daily Wire staff! Keep up the good work!!

Great content, app is useless

This is a review of the app itself, not the Daily Wire as a whole. DW puts out fantastic content, definitely worth the money as an investment in the future of conservative entertainment. That being said, this app is egregious. It’s basically just a low-functioning self contained web browser. There is no way to build a queue, see which episodes you were on, pause an episode and come back later, etc. I have a DW+ subscription and I’m honestly about to cancel it as I just stream the podcasts I listen to through Apple Podcasts. The member blocks are fine, but given the choice between the ease of use and accessibility of the Apple Podcasts app over having to maneuver my way through this one just to find each episode, never mind if I accidentally force quit the app or have to restart my phone for any reason, and then have to restart the app. The frustration just isn’t worth the extra 10-20 minutes of content. I wish there was a way to get private RSS feed so I could just listen to the premium content on Apple Podcasts.

Video functions need work

I love the DW crew and love supporting them but the app needs work (specifically Video and live streams). Video: - Videos don’t automatically play when you click on them. It appears that they’re going to play because you see the first frame of the video and a spinning loading wheel where the play button is. If you want to play the video you have to press the rewind 30 seconds button. - The play pause button on the video player always seems to be a spinning loading wheel when playing video - adding other increments of time to rewind and fast forward like 5, 10, 15 seconds would be great. i’m sure I’m not the only one that doesn’t want to rewind 30 seconds in a podcast. - The continue watching/listening feature never works for me. I always have to remember my spot in Ben’s show because the app always starts my Podcasts from zero. Livestream: -same issues with the video player during live streams -Almost everything about the live stream chat is bad. Because of the block style of the comments 3 to 4 comments can take half of your screen. It is also very unclear if you are replying to a comment. It looks like you are making an entirely new comment. - The chat is always behind on the hosts end. Michael Knowles has had many member segments where he complains that the chat either doesn’t work entirely or is very far behind and can’t see up-to-date comments. Again, I love the DW crew but I’d give the app a D+

Content👍app👎

Love the Daily Wire. But please fix this: I usually listen on airpods. When I need to pause listening, I pause using either headphone controls or the app to stop the podcast, remove my headphones, and when I place them back in my headphone container, the app starts playing again, loud and clear, full volume for anyone around to hear. Sometimes my spouse is sleeping next to me or listening to their own thing, and it’s truly annoying. It’s especially troublesome when I walk away from my phone and as I walk out of range, all of a sudden it starts blaring from my phone two rooms away. None of my other podcast apps do this, so I really wish you would finally fix it. Please. I’ve written to you multiple times via email and your minions have always said they would pass the information along. Nothing ever got done. It makes me want to listen to you guys on other apps. I’ve been a paid member since before the LT mug.

Awesome Content, room for growth in the app

I am enjoying the content and signed up for daily wire+ to enjoy Dr. Peterson‘s lectures on Exodus and Genesis. The app needs some work in the way of providing a way to download when service is bad (I am mostly buffering if I leave my WI-FI) and the app needs a way to find where you left off on these lectures. Every time I leave the lecture, (which is every time because they’re over two hours each) I have to search for the lecture which is not the easiest to find. And then I have to know where I left off and fast forward to it. This app provides a massive amount of awesome content and I’m hoping that as they grow they provide ways to better navigate it. When I first got the app, I wanted to watch What is a Woman and I actually had a really hard time finding it using the search function. There were so many results with those key words, the movie wasn’t coming up for me.

Content, Fabulous; Technically, Mediocre

I love the content provided. The speakers are all good. The quality of production is great. Those aspects are wonderful. However, there are numerous technical shortfalls. One, it does NOT appear to mark content as viewed/listened to. I’ve been listening to various podcasts and other content but I don’t know what I have and haven’t listened to. Related to that, the app doesn’t save progress at all. If I’m listening to a podcast and I have to take a break and go to work, when I come back to the app it doesn’t save my spot and instead restarts from the beginning. Also related, there is no sense of having multiple profiles on one login. Like Netflix and other platforms, I’d like to have multiple profiles so that my wife and kids can save their own progress, preferred content/playlists, etc. That would be a spectacular addition to the app (all versions). Thanks for making such good content! Hope my recommendations for improvements help.

Do They Really Listen?

DW, I have been a subscriber since Ben was solo years ago. I’ve been a big fan of his since his Breitbart days. Needless to say, I really enjoy a lot of what Ben has created. However, in my opinion (for what it’s worth) everything outside of the podcasts just doesn’t “hit.” Everything has so much potential, but I always find myself disappointed with the final outcome. For example, I was really excited about Terror on the Prairie, but the acting was horrible, the lighting was awful, the pace was too slow, etc. Another was Mr. Birchum. It was soooo slow, jokes didn’t hit, voice acting was monotone. Lady Ballers was another great idea, but the writing was horrible, the casting sucked, etc. Another was Judged. Great concept, but terribly slow. I’m afraid that the Pendragon Cycle will be the same, unfortunately. After seeing the trailer, I don’t have high hopes for it. Same for the Snow White movie. Do you guys not have critics that you can show the content to before you release? I feel like you either don’t, or your critics just agree with everything you put out. I want so bad for this platform to succeed, but I’m worried that it’s going to fail. Do you guys ever ask your base what we want to see or what we think of what you’re putting out? I personally have never had anyone reach out in any way to get my opinion. There’s no way to rate movies or shows on the app, so how do you know if we actually like the content?

Great content. Horrible app.

DW is the best place to get the news and access to your favorite creators. They have a right-wing lean, but compared to the likes of Fox and CNN they really do present just the honest flat-out facts and top stories. Would love to give more stars, however.. This app is downright awful. There are so many complaints about it on the app store. So much time and money going into every facet of this organization EXCEPT the method by which they deliver the content!! So disappointing. Long load times on flawless connection, not super easy to navigate, the app never remembers where I left off of videos or podcasts - now it has gotten to the point where I can’t view content at all. I tap on shows and nothing happens. I reinstall the app, but now I can’t sign back in. DW staff: PLEASE read these complaints and do some massive overhauling of your app. I have never had so much trouble with any other app I have ever used, yet this one is by far my favorite. Get it together!!

Excellent content with some annoying interface issues

First off I want to make it clear that the content is outstanding, and the fact that if you have a subscription they edit out all of the advertisements is an appreciated touch. I’ve had multiple issues with the app remembering which episodes I’ve listened to, specifically the Michael Knowles show; it remembers all of my progress through any morning wire episode I listen to but it makes me start any Michael Knowles episode from the beginning which is a real pain. It would be nice as well if you had the option of creating a “watch later” playlist or something of that sort, it’s annoying to have to manually go through each episode of the fauci exposed series to find the episode you’re on, as it doesn’t pull that info to the main page. Again, the only complaint is the user interface of the app, the content is superb

Great content, mediocre app

The five stars are for content. I listen to multiple shows on this network. There are a few easy fixes for the app I hope someone will get to soon. 1. If you pause a show and leave, it should resume where you left off. It’s silly that half time I exit I lose my place. 2. If you want people engaging in the comments (ie coming back to the app over and over) you need to be able to see your comments or responses quickly. To have to scroll through every comment if you want to reply to someone who tagged you is ridiculous. 3. GET A PROOFREADER. You could find someone recent graduate who majored in writing and wants a job. The fact every article has readers commenting with corrections makes the site seem unreliable. Hope they make some changes because the content is excellent.

Why is there now a fee to view?

I can’t find a way to “message” Daily wire. I have been missing seeing Ben and Candace on Facebook. I keep getting messages about videos in my notifications. I don’t understand why we have to pay now where we didn’t have to before. How is the truth and intelligence in understanding what is really going on in our nation going to get to those who are blinded by all the other news/talk agencies? I am not meaning to complain. I love what you all say and stand for. I just really want others to freely be able to hear what you all see and realize the truth. I am hoping to get a reply to understand this change. I know Facebook is Censoring conservative views/truth but can’t your app be available to everyone. I would like to pay but I am wanting everyone to benefit.

Love the content, please fix app UX!

There are quite a few things that need improved in the app for user experience to simply be better, right now it is mediocre, I hate to say. Biggest issues for me come with loading and listening to shows. No matter how good my connection is, it always takes 20 seconds - 1 minute to load. I don’t think this is user error because this type of thing only happens to me in the DW app. The second and biggest annoyance for me has to do with the ability to “Continue Listening” to a show that I did not get to finish all the way upon initial click. My “Continue Listening” section is full of episodes that I have already completed to their entirety (although it would be nice if they are also removed from that list if there are less than 30 seconds left, e.g. credits). When it comes to recent episodes with which I am actually still in progress, those don’t show up in “Continue Listening.” And if I go to the main list of episodes of a show to proceed with an episode that I had to pause earlier in the day, all progress is lost, and it resets the episode to the beginning, leaving me to volley back and forth among various minutes of the show to find my previous stopping point. Again, love the content, but these daily issues. Please fix them!

love! would be 5 stars but i have suggestions/requests.

i love the content on the app *chef’s kiss* i do however have a super important request, which is that users be able to autoplay episodes and/or set up a watch queue. there are nights where all i want to do after a long day is sit down and binge some candace. but shamefully i admit that sometimes even going to a new episode manually after finishing one just requires too much effort out of me. im joking mostly, but still it would be super convenient if that feature was added. also this is kind of a long shot but i think the hodgetwins (keith and kevin hodge, aka the conservative twins) would make a GREAT addition to the daily wire team. just a thought! but seriously. other than that just thank u for bringing this amazing content to the public. i love the way it’s all organized. just got a subscription i love it so much!

Great content, frustrating app

I love the content of Daily Wire, however I have been frustrated with the app of late. Oftentimes it will just crash in the middle of listening. In the last couple of months it has stopped keeping your place. For instance, if I receive a phone call or stop playing an episode for any reason, when I return, the app has left the episode and is back at the home page. When I return to the episode, it has not held my place. The episode will start from the beginning. This is very frustrating as I pretty much only listen to DW content through the app, because I spend a lot of time driving. Also, the app will ask me to login 1-2 times per week. I’m not sure why that happens. As stated before, I use the app daily. These issues have only cropped up within the last couple of months. Hoping they will be resolved soon.

App bugs are an issue, but content is always A+

While I love the Daily Wire and all that it’s doing to create a brand that conservatives can trust, the app is beyond frustrating at times!! The videos take awhile to load, then will pause and play at their own will. Most frustrating is when you pause the podcast for a phone call, then it starts playing into your call!! When you search, it will load the same 5-10 results over and over again but seem as if your still scrolling. It makes no sense! I love all that the Daily Wire is doing, but for the sake of your members who are paying monthly PLEASE INVEST MORE IN YOUR APP!! It feels as if you all are trying to be mainstream with your razors, sports show, movies & book deals. Just take a budget cut on a few things and get the app right so your content can actually be enjoyed!! -A truly concerned member of DW

Bug infested

Since this review is in the App Store, my feedback is for the app specifically and not the Daily Wire as a media outlet. The app itself is bug infested. The player will rarely, if ever, save your progress in the video when you pause or close the app. Because many videos are long form this is really problematic. So, in order to not lose my place in a 2-3 hr long video, I have to keep the app open for days on end, but it will inevitably close the player window on its own and I lose my spot anyway. While the app is running in the background, it will begin playing for some odd reason, and it’s usually when you least want it to. Dare to unlock your phone in a meeting at work, and Ben Shapiro’s voice starts talking at whatever volume you set your phone to. People eye you as you try to lower the volume as quickly as you can. Most embarrassingly, I’ve had this happen several times when answering a phone call. The app is paused and running in the background while the phone is on standby, waiting to ambush you. I get a phone call and when I answer, suddenly Jordan Peterson starts speaking. The person on the other end is now despises me. Frantically, I begin closing all the apps running on my phone in a desperate attempt to get it to stop. It’s too late for my reputation. Why, oh, why have they not fixed this yet? If the content wasn’t so good, I would have ditched the app long ago.

Great content! The app however not so much.

I absolutely love so many of your guys shows and movies and documentaries so I’ll always subscribe. However, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update your app! It sometimes has this issue on my phone, but on the TV it is so hard to use. If I pause the show It takes me back to the beginning when I try and play it again. Also if I try to fast forward, even on the not live version of the episodes, it will either completely not let me fast forward or it will move the icon to look like it’s fast forwarding but then it starts me back at the beginning still. Not sure if it’s my TV, I have a Roku, but I have no issue with other apps so I think it’s just your app. However I love the content I usually just try not to need the fast forwarding or pausing feature cause it still is the best place to get conservative content.

Love the content! However, the iPad app is unusable!

How has the iPad app not been updated to support landscape mode yet? The content is great, but the iPad app is unusable. I use the magic keyboard with my iPad so I consume everything in landscape mode, but for whatever reason this app doesn’t support it. Also, like many others have stated...you can’t lock your device without it stopping the content, and it doesn’t start back up where you previously left off. If these three issues were fixed then it would without a doubt deserve a 5 star rating, but without them it severely hampers your experience and due to that I’ve found myself coming here less and less. I would be much more likely to renew my subscription when it ends if these issues were fixed. BTW...this is the first review I’ve ever written on any app or product. I just felt compelled to leave one because this would be the best app in the AppStore if these issues were fixed.

Ben and co are great, the app however seems a bit out of date.

This may seem like small potatoes but I have tiny gripe with the Ipad app, technical in nature, that has actually prevented me from subscribing in the past. A UX thing is my issue - the Daily Wire app seems to only work in Portrait mode. Generally 100% of My IPad use is in Landscape, attached to an apple keyboard. I think this is fairly common. I actually didn’t want to sign up because I didn’t want to deal with that one thing, taking my IPad off the keyboard and propping up some how or whatever to view the DW content. Consuming the content should be a pleasure for the end user, this isn’t something we should need to think about. I’ve gone ahead and finally subscribed. I actually just hope I use the app since it always has this annoying caveat. I only ask that you consider making a landscape layout capable app in a near future release of the app. I would think Apple’s app framework did that kind of thin automatically, but maybe not. If I am mistaken and the app does in fact support landscape, or you have some alternative way to get the content in landscape, please let me know and I’ll update my comments. Like I say sort small issue in grand scheme of things, but may help get more subscribers… Thank you! (:<)

It would be nice...

Love the podcast. Decided to support the show. Leftest tears tumbler. Check! Emails. Check! Click in article and it brings you to a website asking you to subscribe. Um, ok I did that. Short version I needed to get the app. Check! Go to watch a video and it wants me to login. Whisky Tango Foxtrot Batman! App starts bouncing around between email programs back to the app maybe something else, not sure was too fast for me to follow. So till this gets resolved this app is a brick on my phone. Good job every, seriously, good job. One star. Update: saw that there was an update and bug fix. Ok let’s try again. I try to authenticate and wow it asks me for my info. (Gave another star for the fix) Next problem. The subscription was a gift. I got no password. So let’s try the password reset option...... still waiting for the email. (Yes I looked in the junk/spam folder) Either something is broke on the back end or the app still has a bug to be worked out. Well done everyone, seriously, well done. Up to two stars.

Fix the playback issue

I love this app and I love being able to listen to Jordan Peterson’s wisdom wherever I go and I’ve yet to even tap into all the other knowledge there is to gain from everything in this platform. The only thing keeping this review from a perfect rating however is the playback whenever I stop watching an episode or the I close the app. I could be 50 mins into a 2 hour video and then close the app and open it to resume but it’s not in my history so now I have to find it and then I can’t remember where I was at so I have to make a rough estimate most of the time. Certainly not ideal and very bothersome because as much as I love listening to the man talk I’d rather continue listening to where I left off so I could then listen to more and catch up to all his content. Please fix this problem as it’s very frustrating.

Apple TV app needs attention

I almost exclusively use the Apple TV app to watch Daily Wire content. The app is very frustrating. Example, I am currently going through Jordan Peterson's Exodus series. It is impossible to know where you left off. The app does not show you which episodes have been completed or which one is paused somewhere in the middle. I have to remember or write it down. This basic function of an On Demand viewing app is completely missing. Also, when navigating back to the app's Home Screen, it always has to refresh and take you to the top. This makes app navigation painfully and unnecessarily slow. There are times when I am choosing what to watch on TV and I will consciously not go to the Daily Wire app because I just don't have the energy to deal with the quirks. This is a sad thing, considering the subscription cost is the highest I pay of any of my other subscriptions.

Content Great - App Growing

The technical glitches are frustrating. They have improved, but they are still happening. It does not mark your played content, so you either have to be conscious of where you are in the podcast/video or listen/watch all the way through. Not sure if this is across all content, but when you click the Exodus, it does not show anything besides a title page. No episodes are beneath that title even though there is a marker where it says "All episdoes". Again, not a huge deal because they are in the main page area. All these issues probably due to Dailywire not being a tech company! I would rather them focus on the content! But I would not hate improvements :). I am sure they are hiring devs like crazy.

Great content- terrible app!

Daily Wire…I love you. Truly. But this app is quite possibly the worst I have ever encountered. 1. How is it sensical for me to go to Jordan Peterson’s content, see the icon for the Exodus series but it doesn’t link to anything. It’s just there for show? Instead you have to go to the first series of Exodus, scroll all the way to the end, click on the last icon to be taken to a list of 1 through 11 or whatever it is now. 2. NEVER bookmarks or saves where you last left off. What app nowadays doesn’t do this??? 3. Always buffering on the main screen of a video. Have to use the lower right hand pause to get it to pause. 4. And lastly- but not least…perhaps the worst…oh the anguish when you pause and get out of your car…the moment you unplug…starts playing again. Press pause and make a phone call…starts playing in the background of the call. My clients get to hear Jordan Peterson discussing Moses and the Israelites all the time…hahaha! In all seriousness, I can’t explain how awful an app it really is. You can’t beat big tech if you can’t even fix the dang app. Please do better. I’m rooting for you and this sounds like I’m not…i know. But I’m only typing this to hopefully get SOMEONE’S attention to do something about it. I’m so sick of big tech and their insanity…I want companies like Daily Wire to take the CNN’s of the media world behind the woodshed…but again. Gotta beat ‘em at their game and this app ain’t gonna cut it.

Daily wire is great but the app needs work

Let’s skip the part talking about DW content. Their stuff is good, which is why you are looking to download the app. That’s where the problems begin. There are 3 main issues. Let’s list them out and start getting them addressed: 1) Whether you are watching a video or listening to a podcast, none of these various players will remember where you stop if you pause in the middle of the show and close the app or you need to restart your phone or whatever. Single biggest issue and gripe in my opinion that needs addressing. 2) If you hit the pause button on the screen over a video, it will start circling like it’s thinking about something and the play button is not available. You have to turn the phone vertically and hit the separate play/pause button below the video. Sometimes the circling thing never goes away even after the video is playing again. 3) No playback speed control. Sometimes folks just talk slow and you want to move things along. Neither the podcast nor video players have playback speed control. This is a minor annoyances but when many other players offer this basic feature it’s something you realize is missing when it’s not there. Let’s get these issues addressed and get this to being the 5 star app it should be.

A few suggestions

**Please add the ability to create playlists of episodes or of articles, on that note it would be cool if we could favorite or save articles for later reading. Sometimes I fall behind watching/listening to episodes and a playlist would be very helpful which is what I used to do on YT **Stop the app from refreshing whenever we leave it for even a few minutes. It happens all the time where I’m reading an article or listening/watching an episode and I have to leave the app and when I come back it has refreshed and now I have to dig for the content all over again. **In the section where we can see our past comments, you do show what article we commented on but we cannot tap on it to go to said article. Please change that. **Add the ability to upload our own profile picture **Add a notification button that we tap to see for example people who have replied/liked our comments instead of having to check our emails to see replies/likes **it would be cool if you allowed cuss (or racy) words in comments. Sometimes they’re necessary to convey how one truly feels. **Landscape orientation **Ability to change font size **Currently you have a 30 sec skip ahead/rewind but 5 or 15 sec intervals are helpful as well. Those could be an option. **night mode

Works well but would make a few changes

I love The DW and their app seems to work really well. It’s got a lot of functionality, and I haven’t noticed any bugs or serious problems. However, I really wish it supported a permanent landscape mode instead of only while reading an article or watching video. That’s the primary way I use my iPad and how my case stand works so it gets annoying changing from portrait mode on the front navigation screens to landscape when I select an article (I know - “ugh, 1st world problems” — but I frequently choose to use the website instead of the app because of this). The other quirk that I don’t like is how the “return” arrow changes which corner it’s in depending on which content page you’re on. It’s a very minor annoyance but I wanted to provide some genuine consumer feedback.

Search is broken

Don’t get me wrong: these guys are great, get me great news, and I love Andrew Klavan’s satire. But the search function is broken. Just a few minutes ago I tried searching “Abe Hamadeh” and provided me with a bunch of articles that had nothing to do with Abe Hamadeh, though I heard they had an article about him. I wanted to read an article titled “The Radical Wokeness of the Gaming Industry,” so I typed “The Radical Wokeness of the Gaming Industry” into the search bar. I had to scroll down like six articles before getting to the article titled verbatim what I typed. But besides that, I love this app. I mostly just read the news and commentaries, and I don’t watch the videos, though some of the other reviews find bug issues with the videos.

Annoying on iPad. Still

I can’t believe, after all this time, the daily wire app still forces itself into portrait mode on an iPad. News flash: most people who use iPads are using it in landscape mode. Please find a way to make this work so we don’t have to keep flipping back-and-forth. Love, an insider plus subscriber. Original review: Why does this app still try to force itself into portrait mode while on an iPad? I must tip my iPad constantly while browsing through articles and videos, as if it is a stein of beer. It’s one of the few problems I have with this app. Unfortunately it is a really annoying problem. First world problem, I admit, but annoying nevertheless, and detracting from an otherwise perfect app. Please modernize your app so it respects the landscape mode in which most people use their iPads. Thank you.

Best conservative news outlet and podcasts in the U.S.

I only discovered Daily Wire last year when I got bored during quarantine and needed something to watch. However, I was instantly hooked. In fact, I even became a member to unlock the extra content. If you’re a conservative, this is the news for you. They’re open about their bias unlike most of the mainstream media. They cover and analyze topics honestly and critically. Although they’re conservative, they’re not afraid to call out Republicans when they need to. The articles are well written and they are usually factually accurate. However, I will admit sometimes make factual errors, but their accuracy has improved since the platform launched in 2015. My favorite aspect of the Daily Wire is by far the podcasts. Of all the commentators, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and Andrew Klavan are my favorites. Every show is a great mix of news and humor. If you enjoy the Daily Wire but aren’t convinced to buy a membership, one thing should change your mind: the brand new Debunked series. Ben does an awesome job debunking common leftist myths, and there is a new episode every week. The Daily Wire is everything a conservative would want. The only thing I would recommend is polishing up on accuracy in reporting and it’ll be perfect!

Great content but…

Visual design looks great. I love having the content - all my favorites- available easily on the app and I hate to complain but there are a couple issues. It is difficult when my phone rings and the show I am listening to keeps playing over my conversation. My fix is that I have to close the app completely before I answer the phone but then I loose my spot listening to shows. Also, I don’t see the morning wire option anymore which I count on every morning. Bring it back please or maybe put in a more obvious spot and keep it there for those of us who crave routine and need everything in its place. I like to glance and quickly find it and listen in the car and can’t go searching for it while driving. Otherwise, I enjoy everything about that.

Love the Content App Needs a Few Basic things to be Great

The app is easy to use and informative. The Daily Wire does a great job at being conservative without you feeling like you’re reading conservative propaganda. I’m happy with my subscription and the content I get for it with even more to come as they start releasing movies and documentaries. My suggestions which I think are just basic things: add a favorites option. I’d love to add the Ben Shapiro podcast to my favorites and I’m interested in watching the new China enemy working docu. Would be cool if everything I want to listen to/watch/ even maybe read later were all in one place. Also, if you are watching/listening to something and go to pick it up even a few hours later. Your progress gets lost. The app could use whatever feature needed to save your progress of what you’re listening to/watching.

Love the DW and their app but just two minor complaint...

1. When using the app on any iPhone without the home button (I’m on a new iPhone 12 Pro Max which is why I noticed this for the first time) the white bar/home indicator at the bottom of the screen doesn’t disappear when entering a full screen video. On other video apps it disappears after a few seconds once watching a video in full screen but with this app it distractingly stays put. I prefer watching on my phone but because of this the experience is hampered. 2. When reading articles in the app, the comments section is never below the articles like it is on the site. I like seeing the thoughts of my fellow Daily Wire members and it is annoying having to switch back to my computer to see the comments section. Fix these things and my review will be 5 stars!

Hopeful for the future of the app

I have dutifully paid my several hundred dollars to continue my membership because I appreciate their content and fresh approach to news. The Daily Wire's personalities are uniquely insightful, well-thought-out, and I believe truly impactful in positive ways. The opportunities lie in execution. The app has long been a source of frustration. For example, the "continue listening“ offering is typically several podcasts behind what I actually listened to most recently. Sometimes the app starts to play on its own, after I have paused. The reason I write this review is the glaring paucity of content currently executed: There are apparently no shows being produced the week between Christmas and New Year? I understand and respect they value time off for the holidays. We all do. And yet, we all don't get to take simultaneous weeks off. Think they'd give me 1/52 of a refund for my membership?? 😜😜😜

Great source of information

I’ll just say I’m am right leaning. I don’t agree with all viewpoints but I do appreciate the core truths in the actual happenings vs fake news. After my 26 years on this earth and the past ten that I’ve been awakened to the shadows the medias cast, I wanted to see what really goes on. As far as content I’ve viewed thus far, it’s 5 stars. I took off a star because I’m hearing impaired and captions are not provided, automated or otherwise. In watching the new “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold” the background music was overpowering at times over dialogue, even when I switched from the tv to my phone to listen through my Bluetooth hearing aids. It’s a relatively new streaming service, so I can forgive it, but I do hope the captions are available soon so I can consume more content without straining!

Persistent Playback Issue Ruins Daily Wire App Experience

I have been a subscriber to Daily Wire for a while now, and I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with the app's performance. The app has a recurring issue that is affecting my ability to enjoy the content. Every time I pause a podcast or video, it resumes playback without my input, and this is happening way too often. I have tried everything to resolve this issue, from reinstalling and updating the app to even trying it on another phone, but nothing seems to work. I even tried reaching out to technical support for assistance, but all I got was a generic "thank you for the feedback" message, which did not help at all. As a result, I am seriously considering canceling my subscription to Daily Wire. It's frustrating to see an app that has so much potential be plagued with such a persistent issue. I hope the Daily Wire team will take this problem seriously and work on a solution. Until then, I cannot recommend this app to anyone who wants to enjoy Daily Wire's content without constant interruptions. In summary, the Daily Wire app's performance is unacceptable, and the recurring issue with playback is a major hindrance to the user experience. I hope the team will take immediate steps to fix this problem, as I would love to continue enjoying the app's content without any issues.
