excellent
i love the ad-free programming streaming live 24/7. especially the railway and train videos. NHK also provides fair, balanced, and unbiased world news segments. one small gripe: there needs to be a way to dismiss the informational dialog that displays each time app starts. thank you NHK.
Adding Japanese Language in App
Please NHK Add The Japanese Language to The App With Japanese Subtitles As An Additional Prefer
Love the channel, wish the player includes quick skip, staring features
One of the relaxing yet captivating broadcast. Their dedicated app makes it easy to watch so much of their content without ads. For me this channel is a quick daily visit to Japan. Wish features like video player quick skip back or forward by 5 or 10 seconds and mark videos for watch later are included.
My Street Piano
I reside in Kaneohe, Hawaii and watch many NHK shows. My absolute favorite is My Street Piano. I love the people who play because they’re everyday people and they do bring joy to the world when they play. Thank you and Happy New Year to All!
Sound issues on Apple TV
I cannot connect this app to airplay on my Apple TV. It is the only app that I have that has this issue. Please fix it! I would love to watch nhk programs on my Apple TV.
Dark Mode
Please add dark mode, the app starts with a white screen, if you're using the app on an iPad, it's not good for the eyes to look at a white bright screen until the app loads. Thank you.
Forced subtitles?!?
The app ignores system-settings for auto subtitles. The app has no Settings to configure subtitles. The app uses a non-standard video player that has no controls for subtitles. Subtitles aren't even in the correct location. It just places a big text box at the top of the video instead of putting subtitles at the bottom/center. The app says it uses AI to auto-translate subtitles, but it displays English text in English-only videos, so it's clearly not translating anything. HOW do you turn subtitles off?
