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.

This is the best streaming service ever. Free, no commercials, very pleased.. I have had this app for a couple of years now, without any problems. There are a wide variety of wonderful shows. I rarely watch my cable Subscription TV. Did I say, FREE & NO COMMERCIALS, well it's worth repeating because it's very rare to find this in ANY streaming app. THANK YOU NHK WORLD-JAPAN!!! I always watch on my Samsung galaxy phone with no problems.

Not optimized for smart phones or tablets (i.e., main menu will not rotate into landscape mode). No resolution options = no HD-quality. Smart TV and mobile app versions are badly pixelated. You invented HDTV! Embarrassing. Have to choose my language every.single.time I open the app. Annoying AF.
