Leave a Review NHK WORLD
Thank you
This is the future of television. Watch anywhere you want, no geo restrictions. I wish I could watch the Japanese version too. Please, make it available. Thanks.massabr
Great until recently
Up until December this was a fabulous app that allowed for streaming of live NHK programming including the news. Since then we have not been able to live stream any programs despite ensuring the app is updated a reinstalling a number of times. Its no longer a useful app to us as we can no longer watch the live news updatesShow lessLeafsSteak
Not Bad
NHK was long a family favourite. Their English service nowadays is pretty basic, however, functioning mostly as a travel brochure for Japan. That’s nice enough. But I miss some of the programmes they used to port from regular NHK such as Minna no Uta, but no longer have.
And their Chinese service seems drastically scaled back of late. Under the “multilingual” heading, one can access some programmes under simplified Chinese, but only one under proper Chinese (正體中文). This is the same with their website, which is odd as all they need is to automatically convert.
NHK World is alright. It lacks some of the quirky character of yesteryear, somehow. But good that they keep producing.Show lessShufei
Airplay on Apple TV doesn’t work
This is a great service and app. The Apple TV version of the app stopped using the default output of airplay on my device months ago and has not returned. It definitely used to work at the start of the year. Currently I have to fiddle with the TV volume every time I want to watch NHK. It would be great if airplay would be supported again for audio. Thanks for the great service.Show lessFadedTemplar
Best Asian news souce
I live in America, but I am fascinated by Asian culture. Having this wonderful and mostly positive news source is a great way to start the day in good spirits all for the price of $0. I watch this on my antenna at home, but this app provides the same channel on the go. All you have to do is download, so there shouldn’t be any hesitation. This is my absolute favorite and I hope it never goes away. Thanks to all the creators for making this happen on the west side of the world!Show lessCreateNicknameReview
Great Japanese programming
Keep up the good work!Kamenrida
Excellent app and content.
Great app. I love Japanese food and crafts. This app and NHK offers some very good documentaries on food and culture.
One suggestion: I think the app should not start auto playing the current show every time you read the details of a future show and return to the main page.
But, that’s a small nit. The app is wonderful and the NHK programming content is wonderful.Show lessSanjay-san
Free NHK World
I just left my cable provider to get a better Internet bandwidth, and was left wondering how to get NHK. None of the streaming providers appear to offer it, so I was very pleased to see this app exists and allows Chromecast. Excellent!mueller-thurgau
Personalized channel
Hi, I’d like to be able to arrange the show in order of my favorite and setting up the tabs myself. It take very long time to find Science View, Lunch On and the Professionals each day, and be able to save the video and watch later, I can never catch the right day to watch. If I can pick the videos for next week, save it and watch it all at the end of the week would be great.
I’d like to save my favorite show to the top tab bar(where the Sumo tab bar is) and put all my favorite show in it, would be much for easier for me to find where they areShow lessyishawang
Wonderful News
I finally found a news app I like! Ads are few, news is objective, and the English of the reporters is quite good. Even though I no longer live in Japan, I love how NHK World informs me of both Asian affairs and major US dealings.FarFletch'd
