My favorite app for many years, but after installing it on my new phone, it fails to go any further after selecting the level of cookies. I've tried again later many times as directed and installed it twice which doesn't work to open the app. Luckily, I can still watch NHK World on PBS but please offer an app fix. Edit: After a few days of trying to open the app, it finally works great again through the developers efforts or my phone getting up to speed. Thank you! Upgraded to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎👍

* EACH time I start the app, it asks which language am I using. It never remembers even though I click on the save button. * The NHK app CAN NOT be opened in Multi-Window mode, so you can't watch NHK while using any another app! * While playing the live news in portrait mode, the video fails to remain on-screen as you scroll the tv guide below. * Pausing live tv mode doesn't resume the live show from that point, so you miss what was in between.

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.
