Democracy Now! Software

I have used several dissatisfying news apps for a long time and am so so glad I found Democracy Now! news app because it is the only in-depth investigative journalism of the truly important stories happening from around the world. Even HuffPost fails to bring Democracy Now!'s substantive inquiries and intelligent selection of what actually matters or issues of actual human interest---stories injustice, violence, oppression, climate science, government corruption or lies, erosion of freedom, and absolutely no distracting newsfluff about celebrities or entertainment news..... I love the Democracy Now! podcast, but I find the app even more useful in its quickly available offerings of either print or video content. This will be the app I tell many more friends about in person or on Facebook. I have always absolutely loved the show and even scheduled some appointments so I can drive while listening and have always told my clients and friends to watch on PBS or listen on Pacifica radio, but people just kind of look at me blankly because they don't really intend to follow those urgent advice moments.... so now I'll just tell them to get the app and they will easily see what I'm talking about.

I am thankful that I can listen to the newscast on my way to work without watching the video. When I’m home, watching the video is great—they have incredible guests—but I don’t always have time so the number one thing I appreciate about the app is that I can listen to the newscast without streaming video which eats up data. Since I’m here a couple things I appreciate about Democracy Now in general: The news is not often something to celebrate, and hardly ever is it good news but I think being informed is one of the best choices a human living in this time can make. Democracy Now sites their sources, allowing the public to find information out on their own. Another really important thing I think people should do: their own research. Don’t just take what newscasters say for the complete truth! Besides the fact that they generally have a limited time to cover certain stories (you can always learn more) you should be able to confirm or deny what you’re being told. Democracy Now gives you the tools to do that. This transparency is why I continue to return to Democracy Now to keep up with current events. Thanks DM!

OK, this app has really improved but there are still technical features that would be nice to have, such as notifications. However, it gets five stars for being the best news around. And Because I am seriously upset that the App Store will not allow users to search for it. I’ve installed this app three times now and each time I had to go and Google “democracy now app an Apple store” and don’t get my browser open the link in the Apple Store. It is apparently impossible to search for Democracy Now in the App Store. It doesn’t matter if you write it exactly the way it is listed including the !, It will not come up and instead you get a whole bunch of useless news apps. I’m not going to speculate on why this is but I would like to know if the app owner does know by any chance.
