Leave a Review NHK WORLD
Good but not working with TVos 11.4 AirPlay 2
Nice app that enables to watch so many great programmes, but the app on AppleTV is often limited in terms of technology and user interface. Very behind...
For example, after the release of TVos 11.4 the app cannot handle AirPlay 2, it plays a programme without audio sound in the connected speakers. And overall, so cumbersome to search and find their programmes on the app.
I am sure the Japanese national broadcaster NHK can do much better than this? Please improve the app for AppleTV. The people all over the world uses this.Show lessFiveislands7
Well designed
Easy to navigate, well designed interface. Lots of quality content live and on demand.
The only problem I’ve encountered is an error trying to setup a notification an upcoming program is about to start on live stream “The program cannot be added to the notification list”
The iPhone app doesn’t cast to Apple TV but there is a NHK World TV app on the Apple TV App Store which is easy to use.Show lessHappy_dragon
Great shows
NHK is one of my fave cable stations. If I’m watching a cooking show such as dining with the chef, when a recipe I like is shown , I just take a screen shot and save it. Sometimes do the same with maps or beautiful objects or scenes.Tututoyou
Excellent content. Bad app.
Very sad that they replaced the old app with this one. This one seems so much more buggy, slow, and unresponsive at regular intervals. The background is now bright white too which is invasive at night. A dark mode would be most welcome.rianwudkok
GREAT NEWS CHANNEL
NHK world has so many programmes and gigs that you’d think it’s automatic tour guide about Japan. The layout of the channel is very “eye-friendly” not to mention the satiable news news info it gives. NHK World is truly a model news station for the whole world to watch.EASIEST E-BOOK
Great App but Needs FF & REW function
This has been our go-to app for all things Japanese for years but the latest version release on AppleTV and on the iPhone has for some reason disabled fast forward and rewind. Normally it’s not a problem but is very problematic when watching Sumo where the matches are often so quick that it’s easy to miss the action.Show lessjdvough
Disappointed too...
I agree with the other reviewer, I love NHK World TV and prefer the older app because it offered more episodes to choose from than the new app.
For example Medical Frontiers now only offers one episode to choose from when the previous app offered almost a half-dozen. Plus the episode that's airing isn't the one being offered.
I used to send my friends to the App Store to download NHK World TV, then tell them to go to the Medical Frontiers listings and watch a particular episode I knew they'd be interested in.
Nope. Can't do that anymore.Show lessMr.EdnaMode
AppleTV: Why can't I scrub video?
It was availbale with the old vesion of the app and it's avaible on the web brwoser interface. But why can't I scrub video on the AppleTV? This is a critical missing feture. if you have to come back to a problem later you have to start from the beginning. Or did you miss something? too bad you have to start over from the begnning to try and catch it again.Show lessVermifugeRT
Great
If you are interested in Japanese stuff this is great. I mostly use the Apple TV version. Only thing I would suggest is that on Apple TV you can't fast forward or scrub through a video so have to sit through something to get to the bit you are interested in. Otherwise great.Taylor Guy
Love this app!
It is always a pleasure to open this app and explore Japan with news and culture! I love this app as much as I love the tv channel! I have to thank my mom because she found out about NHK on tv and ran over to my room to show me haha! Sadly the shows are only an hour, but this app fills my "appetite" for Japan! 😊🇯🇵💕ありがとう~!Show lessHakubaiku
