I like reading NHK World articles and enjoy having selected ones pushed to me. To forward the articles, though, I would first have to register with X, Facebook, or LINE. I would give a five-star rating if you added a universal share button or a way to copy a browser URL.

Generally, the app is great. However, the sound quality i.e. fidelity of the English News has largely diminished in the last week, namely the sound of the anchor.

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.
