Leave a Review NHK WORLD
Great, but limited in certain ways
Love the content, Japanese learning programs, shows, news. I really wish there was a way to save, subscribe, and go to our favorite shows.
It’s difficult to find and remember each show we like, making it a hassle and annoyance to continue watching.
I also wish there was less voice-overs and they are sometimes difficult to understand, and even difficult because of how corny it is to listen to. This would also help with the large population of people that watch NHK (folks learning Japanese).Show lessUsed to be better…
I used to watch NHK on my Apple TV all the time. Recently I re-download the app and realized most channels are now streamed in English or any other language besides Japanese. Originally I downloaded the app to improve my Japanese and I wish they would bring back the ability to watch in full Japanese again.Show lessありがとうございます (🇦🇺)
I’ve had this app for over 5 years now. I watch around 3 shows weekly. I couldn’t be happier with it. A multifaceted experience of Japanese culture, in English (spoken and subtitles). Some of the most informative and thoughtful programming anywhere. The on-demand program list is regularly updated. My preferred shows are Design Talks Plus, Japanology Plus, 72 Hours, Cycling Around Japan and Hometown Stories. My absolute favorite is Somewhere Street. The player is simple but always reliable. It includes skip forward and back and screen-in-screen. Please continue this high quality and valuable service! The inspiration and insight it provides is deeply appreciated.Show less
