Wanted to support the organization. Turns out ethics means nothing to the Daily Wire. What a disappointment.
I wanted to support the organization because I stand behind their mission and the subscription was reasonably priced over Thanksgiving. I'm in Israel and I wanted to support pro-Israel media, particularly Ben Shapiro's passion for truth-telling in this region. BIG MISTAKE. I should have read reviews of the Android app -- and these Trustpilot reviews -- first! First, you need the app to access premium subscriber content. Unfortunately, the app is GARBAGE. It doesn't even work as well as free podcast players. It crashes repeatedly during play and then doesn't remember your play history so you have to go in from the beginning again. Second, there are dozens of reviews in the Play Store complaining about the app. In many cases, a friendly DW rep has chimed in to say sorry you're having trouble, make sure your app is updated to the latest version, contact us if you continue to experience problems. No problem, right? Well, I contacted their Member Experience team on November 22, 2023. They replied to say "As per our policy, all sales are final, and we do not offer refunds. This policy is outlined in our terms and conditions agreed upon at the time of purchase." That's it - no refunds. No accountability at their end. No improvements to the app, that I can see. Further emails to them every few days since the end of November have not produced a single reply, but a few days ago, I got an email to indicate that my subscription was cancelled but is still valid until November 2024. No refund that I can see, just a cancellation. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. This is a company that claims it's all about values, all about representing ordinary people. And I can see here that they have a pattern of bilking ordinary people out of their money with zero accountability. I want to believe this has nothing to do with Ben Shapiro and the other hosts, who claim to share my values, but this kind of garbage treatment has got to come from the top. What a disappointment.
