### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2026-05-08*

Our family (kids from 8-14 years old) enjoys watching World Watch. It’s informative and entertaining. The kids watch it with me (Mom) and we all learn something and have good discussions about the news. Best part of our homeschool day but families can also watch after school! Highly recommend!

### 1/5 — Glitchy TV app. Great program.

*2026-02-15, version 3.30.0*

A wonderful source of child-appropriate news, engaging for all ages! Our entire family enjoys it Monday-Friday.

There is nothing like it for facing the realities of our modern world.

Apple TV App: we never know when or if it will work. A huge letdown.

### 4/5 — Where’d he go

*2025-08-25, version 3.26.0*

What happened to Nick

### 5/5 — WOW

*2025-03-19, version 3.21.1*

Really good overall app love it kids do to

### 5/5 — ✨the best!✨

*2025-01-28, version 3.20.0*

I love world watch and I have a subscription with my family and we watch it everyday📆. Episodes come out so early in the day, and by the time we wake up the episodes are probably there. They are on the east coast so the episodes are filmed early over there so that makes it super early over here! I love that it’s Christian worldview✝️ It even connects to Apple TV! We have the app on there and it is so helpful! Sometimes the episode doesn’t show up in the “today” section, but you have to just search the day up in the search area. The subscription is…

$79.99/yr
or
$6.99/mo
That was from their website. I love world watch news and if you don’t want to pay for the subscription, you can go on YouTube and go on their channel and watch little 3 minute clips. The ones on the app are almost 11 minutes long. The subscription is SO worth it. You won’t regret it. It’s even so amazing bc if you have little kids, it has a warning ⚠️stories 1+3 are not meant for little kids⚠️ or something like that I can’t remember the exact words. Anyway, yes! If you’re wondering to get the app get it.

Bye!
✨Your Trustworthy Reviewer✨

### 2/5 — Great source of learning but u have to pay

*2024-12-04, version 3.20.0*

My friend has this and I’m like ‘ oh my gosh that app is slay!’ 
I asked what it's called and I got it, so excited to watch news that didn’t have weird things in them. BIG SURPRISE: I had to pay 10 BUCKS A MONTH! no way am I paying that much sorry

### 5/5 — This is an awesome news app!

*2024-02-25*

I love this app. I watch it almost every day to see what new episode they have. The main reason I love it is because it shows news from a Christian perspective. I also LOVE when “The Big Bash” says, “Whatever the news, the purpose of the Lord will stand. We’ll see you tomorrow.” Overall, this is an amazing app and I would highly recommend it! (P.S. I also love the magazine WorldTEEN!)

### 5/5 — Great show content and convenient app

*2023-06-01*

WORLD Watch News delivers news for teens in 10-minutes with highly engaging and educational content. 

They end every show with “Whatever the news, the purpose of the LORD will stand”. 

Lots of ways to watch the show, on your favorite tv streaming app, on their website or on the go with this app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-06-01, version 3.11.1*

Love this app!

### 3/5 — Won’t update without reinstalling

*2022-04-20, version 3.4.5*

We love World Watch and the idea of an app, but we have to delete the app and reinstall it for that day’s news to come up. Otherwise the app won’t refresh. It’s very frustrating.
