Recently got worse and more annoying. I've been using this app to see the news every day but when I watch a video from a news article, it buffers a lot and doesn't continue playing. I have to refresh the page and play the video from the very beginning, then the same thing happens again. My internet is fast and I never had this issue before until just recently. Restarting the app and clearing the cache doesn't work either. Please fix this app before I switch to another news source.

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).
