Can you please port this app to tvOS? ### 5/5 — 菜省长代言APP *2021-09-01* 一听到菜省长推荐的我就来了，能让世人更多了解我中国台湾省的风土人情、挺不错的（🐶 ### 5/5 — Keep in touch with Taiwan, and hear their voices *2021-08-31* Thanks for developing this app, it helps Taiwanese Expat like myself keep in touch and share our story overseas in the United States. ### 5/5 — 🇹🇼 *2021-08-31, version 1.0.4* 中华民国万岁 台湾加油 ### 5/5 — Great way to learn about the country *2021-08-31* This app is excellent for english speakers to learn about Taiwan. ### 5/5 — 日本在住台湾人 *2021-08-31* 日本在住している台湾人です。 正直いうとこのアプリがあって本当に嬉しいです。なかなかコロナの中に帰れなくて、ここで故郷の情報が見れることで何よりです。 ### 5/5 — Introducing the amazing platform to the world *2021-08-31* Taiwan is a multicultural country located in the heart of Asia. Taiwan was under Netherland law, Qing’s law, and Japanese law, therefore breeding the diversion of environment. ### 5/5 — Taiwan to the world *2021-08-30, version 1.0.4* Great to see Taiwan and the Chinese language encumbered. 我们在新西兰看台湾plus电视，非常好。 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-08-30* It’s difficult to find English-language news sources that aren’t tinted with a specific American political agenda. (Speaking as an American) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t use the app anymore *2025-01-10* the app requires me to update the app to the latest version which requires iOS 16. My iPhone cannot be updated to iOS 16. Please help ### 1/5 — Super biased news source *2024-12-17* This platform is strongly biased. Not a good source for objective news ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2024-10-02* I am updating my review yet again. How can you support every Apple device, including Vision Pro, but NOT Apple TV? What is wrong with your software engineers? ### 1/5 — Finally - Almost *2023-07-06* I am updating my rating to one star based on the fact that the developer refuses to make an Apple TV app. I just returned from Taiwan where I spent a lot of time watching the Taiwan Plus channel on cable. How hard could it be to provide this convenience to viewers outside Taiwan who use Apple TV for streaming? I love NHK World and watch it frequently, but would prefer Taiwan Plus if it were as easy. Please take a few minutes and build the app! We are big fans of NHK World and have long hoped for something similar from Taiwan. Thank you for finally delivering this app and the iPad version. But please consider adding an Apple TV version. ### 1/5 — Totally wasted *2021-08-31* Don’t even bother. The app just wastes your time and memory. ### 2/5 — App not compatible wi5 chromecast, poor app support *2021-12-28* The app, sadly, is not compatible with chromecast, which hampers the appeal of this app. Emails for app support is also blocked by the Taiwan Central News Agency server. ### 3/5 — Finally *2025-04-01* Finally - a version for AppleTV. Deduct one star for taking so many years to do it. Deduct another star for lack of closed captions/subtitles. I know the programming is in English but those of us who are hard of hearing rely on closed captions. Check out NHK world app. Please keep trying. ### 3/5 — Apple TV app please! *2023-11-02* I love your content but I want to watch it on my TV. Can you please port this app to tvOS? ### 3/5 — Please cover more in-depth news *2022-11-24* As much as I want to support and like Taiwan Plus, at times it feels like a government propoganda channel. And once in a while I think it’s okay to point out the shortcomings of the government. The coverage isn’t any better than FocusTaiwan and TaiwanNews. ### 3/5 — Decent app, needs more work *2022-10-03* I really enjoy the English content for those of us who want to learn Mandarin or consume Taiwanese content in English. However, the app definitely needs some QoL updates. It’d be nice if videos were put into playlists, so if I’m done with episode 1, it’d let me go to episode 2 easily instead of showing me unrelated videos. Also I’d like to be able to save/bookmark videos. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs Apple TV support *2024-06-19* Great app, but this app would be perfect on the Apple TV. ### 5/5 — Fabulous content, nice app *2023-06-04, version 1.0.31* Just two requests: First, I repeatedly select a different city for the weather but it always defaults back to Taipei on the Home Screen – can this be fixed? Second, please make an Apple TV app as soon as possible! ### 5/5 — User friendly platform with great unbiased content *2022-11-26* Commenting as a proud Taiwanese living in the UK, this app has kept me up to date on national and local news in Taiwan 🇹🇼 I especially enjoy the video content which the hosts invite experts to speak about certain subjects ### 5/5 — Can we have Apple TV app? *2022-10-22* Love it. But can we have Apple TV app also? Thanks. ### 5/5 — Best English-speaking Taiwan News *2022-10-11* There is an obvious lack of news coverage for Taiwan for English readers and listeners. As a Taiwanese American, I’ve found it difficult to be up to date on news from my homeland, but this is the best source I’ve found yet. Both informative and expansive. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Quality reporting on Taiwan *2022-03-03* Most English reporting on Taiwan is China centric. The daily news broadcast on this app is excellent - it examines Taiwan from Taiwanese perspective. Anyone who wants to know what’s happening in Taiwan will watch this show ### 5/5 — Finally *2021-09-06, version 1.0.4* We are big fans of NHK World and have long hoped for something similar from Taiwan. Thank you for finally delivering this app and the iPad version. But please consider adding an Apple TV version. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2021-09-05* While the communist Chinese party(West Taiwan) continued to buy foreign news and intimate/ threatened independent news publishers across the democratic world with false narratives about the genocide and continued undermining of the foreign democracies and rampant IT theft. So greatful I can get the legitimate Chinese perspective (East Taiwan) on East Asian issues snd the continued threat of the CCP against Asia and the world ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-09-02* However, I would like to make a suggestion. Could you have an iPad version so I could look at your app horizontally not vertically. ### 5/5 — Very excited *2021-09-01* Very excited for this content about Taiwan. It would be great if there is capability to cast onto big screens or smart tv via chrome cast or airplay. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
