This was once a 5 star app for me, but it has changed so much since I started using it, that it's almost unrecognizable now. Gone are the features I cared about (listings by show/program, with many past episodes, the live feed from NHK-World, the language lessons, etc.) and in their place is a disorganized and difficult to navigate mess of articles and clips. Yes, most of the content I'm looking for can be found on their website, but it's not as good or as convenient as the app was before. Sad!

Very interesting channel. I can watch the only sport I love, Sumo. In addition I was surprised to find many, many programmes, in English, also available, from nature to anime history, and even Japanese lessons. Happy to watch on my phone or tablet, no need of casting, so a great app. I hope this month's upgrade works as well as it does now.

NHK World is my no. 1 to watch in the morning. However, the casting stopped. I actually did another thing to my TV at the same time so I thought it was my fault. However, I finally looked up "nhk world casting stopped" through AI and they said it has stopped. I have another option now watching it on my TV but I would much prefer to use the casting as it is quick. I don't quite understand why they have done this. I will change the rating once I can cast it from my phone. I like this program.
