Non biased?
Gotit3secondsago
Be aware! VOA is simply another anti-American organization and their app shows their bias.
Wow, real news!

It’s so refreshing to see just straightforward, non-editorialized headlines. Great source for forming your own opinions vs being told what they should be. Keep it up VOA!
Terrible

Biased and out of touch. Just more of the same lame stream media. Don’t waste your time.

I have listened to VOA since the 1950’s in Switzerland tuning in on lShort wave 41 meter band to listen to John Canceler and the Jazz Hour. I learned and listened to Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman. Artie Shaw and many more of the Swing era. Louis Armstrong and many of the Dixieland Bands were on the program and naturally American News. Some years later, I immigrated to the States to experience this great country first hand. I still occasionally listen to VOA. A great station showing the best of America.
Nothing in the app

I open the app and nothing is in it. I tap everywhere and nothing happens. No instructions or anything. 1 Star
It doesn’t work at all!

I’ve been trying VOANEWS.com for days and I want to install the app. A too long list under name VOA . And I thing I find the app but after installed it , it fails to start!!
Could use some updates

I like that I can increase font size for articles; but, why not for the home screen? I tried leaving feedback from within the app and got email back saying invalid email address. So that needs fixed.
CAN NOT BE TRUSTED!!!!!

The talented, trustworthy teams that used to bring you the news have all been fired. Trump is now controlling the narrative to be The Voice of Trump - NOT America!
