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~!

Great app and intuitive I should suggest do low auto-streaming for low bandwidth Apple TV users. Thanks

The new design is just ok with no theme option either white or black as the previous one.

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.

NHK has a great programming. But this app (on my Apple TV) doesn't allow some of the features, like forwarding or repeating. So it gets challenging when you are trying to learn and listen the contents several times.

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.

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.
