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

Great app with one improvement needed

So much great content from the daily wire. Im a member and daily listener or watcher. Love the app except one very frustrating problem. I use the iPad Pro with the Apple Magic Keyboard which means the screen is horizontal and not vertical on my desk. The iPad does not rotate. The dw app does not rotate to display on the horizontal screen. It’s super annoying to select things sideways to get to the videos which then will rotate once you maximize them. This problem also bars me from reading the content on my iPad, which is where I’d prefer to read it. Of course I can take my iPad out of the case and hold it vertically while reading without the case, but I shouldn’t have to keep detaching it to select my videos and reattaching to watch them or only be able to read in portrait with it detached from the case instead of sitting up nicely for me in the case. Could you make the app able to rotate and display in landscape? Seems like a simple problem to fix. This is the only app I use that doesn’t rotate. This would smooth out/eliminate the issue and make me read and watch more content. Honestly some times I choose other options which I prefer less just because I don’t have the free hands to hassle with the setup. Or more likely I listen on apple podcast rather than watching on the app because I don’t want to miss the good content but don’t want the app hassle. I really hope this can be fixed.

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.
