I have added/replaced 5 bibliography strings in ngerman-apa.lbx, following the latest manual from the DGP 4th ed. from 2016.
[...]
on = {{auf}{auf}}, % <== CHANGED (not according to the DGP manual but German grammar)
retrieved = {{verfügbar}{verfügbar}}, % <== CHANGED
inpress = {{im Druck}{im Druck}}, % <== NEW, probably not needed because the identical string can also be found in biblatex's german.lbx
nodate = {{nicht\space datiert}{{}n\adddot\addabthinspace d\adddot}}, % <== NEW
abstract = {{Abstract}{Abstract}}, % <== NEW, used according to the first example on p. 124. On p. 129 Zusammenfassung and Auszug is alternatively suggested, but let's keep it simple.
[...]
These work fine when placing the ngerman-apa.lbx in my texmf directory, see the following MWE:

There are 4 issues remaining:

(preposition in lowercase), but it gets printed as
(Im Druck).
7.01:17: Now it's
Verfügbar unter ..., e.g., Sociological-Abstracts-Datenbank:
However, the German term for database needs a different preposition:
Verfügbar über ...
See also 7.09:62.
7.03:33: Now it's
Verfügbar unter ..., e.g., Research-on-Poverty-Alleviation-Website:
However, the German term "Website" needs a different preposition:
Verfügbar über ...
[Edit: Changed from "auf" to "über" as this works as well and is also compatible with "Abgerufen" in case someone prefers a direct translation of "Retrieved"] See also 7.03:34.
Please can you try the 7th Edition Style release recently (version 9.1 of the apa style, just uploaded to CTAN) and open another ticket if there are still issues.
