![]() 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. 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. I am thankful that I can listen to the newscast on my way to work without watching the video. ![]() Lastly, the "contact" link sometimes is insufficient in allowing my iPad to move away from and comeback to the entry screen. Moreover, I've found that some days allow live access to the show through the app but not others. It would work better for me if there was a companion iPad app to make landscape viewing and entry more convenient. ![]() Also, the app is geared for smartphone use, but I rely on my iPad. It would work better for us if the app allowed us to store content when within wifi range so we could view it later. Some of us are privileged, and thankful, for the donations of others to maintain the show's quality and integrity, yet do not have the resources to purchase a smart phone with data minutes. However, if the viewer has limited access to wifi, it's content is not apparently stored to be obtained without using data minutes. It's tremendously convenient to access the show simply by clicking on an icon. The app is perhaps the latest development in making their message accessible, but there's still room for improvement. Free from corporate influence, relying on grass roots support, they don't have to march to "big money's" drum and come across as the best place for journalists to employ their education and skill with integrity. Democracy Now is, hands down, the best news daily going. ![]() It's difficult to review the app without commenting on the show's content, so let me get that part out of the way. ![]()
