NHK WORLD-JAPAN

I used to watch NHK on my Apple TV all the time. Recently I re-download the app and realized most channels are now streamed in English or any other language besides Japanese. Originally I downloaded the app to improve my Japanese and I wish they would bring back the ability to watch in full Japanese again.

On the Apple TV app English subtitles are always on and there is no way to turn them off. It’s very distracting to have subtitles always on.

This has been going on too long. This app for Android is only available as an Amazon app store download but not on Google Play Store. Also been going on too long is the video quality is not great. When it's people talking in the video, it's fine. But show any fast movement or even a forest - which NHK has a lot of content of - and the video just looks ugly. Can you implement H265 and 4K video in the app??

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

Love the programming, but so much of it is in English that we want to turn subtitles off most of the time… so irritating!
