I think the overall access to news and information is good and I like it. However I been very annoyed by the sliding controls. I hate it. You cannot easily go up and down on the main screen without jumping sideways to earthquake/tsunami screens. Can you not disable that option or at the very least make it optional. It may work fine for some devices but on my phone is very annoying.

Overall I really like it, once I can watch the content and in English, about the app, I'd like it to show what you've already watched, or, if you stopped on the middle of a video, for it to show it and start from where you stopped. As for the "idea" in general, maybe an option to choose between sub and dub, once I prefer subs, which also helps me improving my Japanese studying.

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.
