New version has closed captioning on by default for live broadcast with no apparent way to turn it off. Please add a switch to settings. Thanks. Also, captioning is way behind video which makes it that much more disruptive and annoying. When I switch to view NHK live broadcast in browser, it is OK. No closed captioning in browser view. Just a problem in the Android app.

Like other reviewers, I think the NHK news content is really fantastic, but unfortunately the app is broken on Android. Scrolling up/down is "sticky" and difficult, and often accidentally scrolls to the right (to the Earthquake tab). It makes it difficult to actually read the articles, as trying to scroll often incorrectly moves to another tab. It's a shame, as the app is basically not usable on my phone (Pixel 4a).

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!
