First off, unlike many apps, this one actually works and does what it says it does. Secondly, the programming is terrific, and there are no stupid restrictions on viewing. Not all programs are available "on-demand", but most are. Good perspective on news you won't get off U.S. stations, cooking shows, Sumo highlights, and general introduction to Japanese language and culture. I'll say it again, terrific.

Awesome app to use! However, it is missing at least 1 important aspect, a major issue that keeps it from getting 5 stars... The major issue is does not have Japanese as a option for languages. Why? What if I want to immerse myself in the Japanese language and learn the specifics. What about the lesson section? It is more of a output method to approaching Japanese but helps more after the immersion (aka input method) process that the app itself lacks. Other issues is unable to turn off captions.

I absolutely love NHK news and their shows. However, since their update a few months ago, I'm unable to cast to my TV via Chromcast, which is so unfortunate. I would be watching so much more if I was still able to cast. My initial review before the change would be absolutely 5 stars. But since the update, I can only give 2. I can't watch as often, because without the chromecast feature, my battery on my phone drains substantially faster than with casting. Please fix so we can cast again!
