NHK WORLD-JAPAN Customer Insights

1. * The NHK app CAN NOT be opened in Multi-Window mode, so you can't watch NHK while using any another app! * While playing the live news in portrait mode, the video fails to remain on-screen as you scroll the tv guide below.

2. The app has good information, but not being able to read articles has made it borderline broken.I love NHK and older apps were really great, however recent updates have lead to a drastic decrease in image quality.

3. * Pausing live tv mode doesn't resume the live show from that point, so you miss what was in between.Pls make this native (in the appstore) available for android TV.

4. I also want to echo Thomas R.'s and several other users reviews: The app screens are too sensitive to any horizontal vector when the user scrolls down, and constantly switch to the UNdesired screen, i.e. from TV to RADIO.

5. Also, if a live program is being repeated (indicated by the red PLAY button over the image) you CANNOT set a program alarm for it.

6. Its no longer fun to use this app.New version has closed captioning on by default for live broadcast with no apparent way to turn it off.

7. Clearly the data rate has been strangulated to a point where the image is now low res, grainy and often with artefacts, and this even on a very fast, reliable connection on which every other service can easily deliver HD1080 or even 4K.

8. When I switch to view NHK live broadcast in browser, it is OK.

9. This makes it really hard to read, and it's something that can be fixed easily.Good news app, but the interface is very poor and makes it almost unusable.

10. Just scrolling through an article will cause the tab to switch over to the Earthquake page, even when I'm seemingly only scrolling up-down.

11. ✌🤓👍The app has been good for the most part since downloading a while ago, but recently the scrolling has become broken.
