NHK WORLD-JAPAN Reviews

I love this very informative and entertaining app!

It's organized very well, and I really like the background audio feature, which I can use in case I want to multi-task and listen! It's very screen-reader accessible for us visually-impaired folks, too. Thanks for a great experience.

Great but- needs ability to cast

Please add the capability to google cast or chrome cast this app to 'big screen' or 'smart' TVs!! Also, I very much appreciate the addition of being able to view previous or recorded programs. It would be great if you could increase the number of available programs.

Absolutely love it

I love NHK channel as well as app, this is what TV should be, I am watching scientists discussing the role of science in the society. The variety of the programs is beautiful, I don't see anything like that on US TV, keep up the good work!!

Live streaming fails

Firebee98

The live streaming no longer works. It's the whole point of this app - what's up? I will reload and try again, if not I will have to delete :(. It was my favorite app.

Overall okay

But needs bug fixes badly. Stops streaming too often.

Poor Streaming

Not Warned

The quality of the livestream within this app has greatly deteriorated. It stops and starts, replays, and is blurry even on high speed connections. The stream is of much better quality if accessed through the website on safari.

Favorite app

Chibikabra

This app and the programming is perfect in every way. News on the hour and a wide range of great variety shows in between. Anything from cooking to hiking to learning the language, fashion, architecture, tourist-y activities, you name it. I can't recommend this app enough.

Perfect for NHK Viewers!!!

Perfect for those who enjoy NHK shows. However, if you're one to watch their news as well, the non-perfect 4 star rating is because I prefer the original NHK app to this one as it seems easier to maneuver in. Browsing through news stories seems to be better in that version. However, overall appearance-wise, this app is an improvement and runs better on my ipad pro compared to the other version.

Decent app, but...

I'm trying to get this to play on my AppleTV like it says in the App Store and I can't do it. I see no Airplay option.

When I lived in America, I watched NHK World all the time. It helped foster my love of Japanese culture, and was both entertaining and educational. Now that I live in Japan, I still can watch the network via this great app! You can either view what's playing now, or check out the extensive on-demand library. My favorite show is Japaneasy 2, which gives fun and easy-to-learn lessons in the language. If you have even a slight interest in Japan, NHK World a wonderful app to use!
