2 ★ I was glad to find this app. It brought back memories of how I found VOA and others channe surfing on sw and mw. However, nostalgia won't make up for the lack of background playback! I can't put on some headphones, lock the screen and throw my phone into my pocket! I can't even navigate away from something I'm listening to browse other content! It seems this and some other functionality used to be in older versions. Please put them back! They are fundamental to a good media playback experience.
2 ★ The app had been improved in certain areas but had been downgraded in very important areas.The app no longer auto cache news materials,when u come back offline the news is gone, you now only find a blank interface as against the previous version where u can read news cached offline.This new version no longer support widget,widget gives u the ability to view news headlines right from your home page,d audio cast no longer play in d background, I hav to stop using d app,pls return these features!
5 ★ Headquartered in Washington DC, Voice of America is a well-known US international broadcaster. The application is free as well as free from ads and IAP. The news are neatly classified, and easy to navigate. Recommended for all regions of the world.
3 ★ When it works, it works well. But ... the listed program title often is actually something else -- music instead of news, etc. Also it often just stops. Sometimes I can restart it. Sometimes not.
5 ★ It is an excellent VOA Amharic app. It helped me listen to my country news while at work and on travel etc... my comments it would be great if we can access back full news right from this app like on the web. I wish I can forward and back but no option like that on dayily news. It would be good if more news to be posted.
1 ★ It doesn't have english learning option
5 ★ The voice is clear,my problem is network sometimes it seizes
5 ★ I listen to VOA news every morning. I enjoy it very much. However, American English programme is transmitted the old ones repeatedly. I'd like to listen to the new ones. Thanks.
4 ★ This is a great resource and news outlet. I use it in several language's to both keep my language's fresh but to get relevant and timely news stories from those regions.
1 ★ Not happy with the new layout. I used to change the language through the app and now it's telling me to download separate apps for a different language.
4 ★ Good format. Easy to use. Sometimes slow to refresh stories when you open the app.
3 ★ for the most part, it is good. the sections that divide up the news by topic and region haven't updated since June.
5 ★ Voa is simply superb. I must confess your station makes my day. If there were a rating that's higher than 5star, I would give it to this station and quite honestly too.
5 ★ the app is absolutely fabulous it gives me information about the daily developments in the world.
2 ★ 2 Not for the content. But need more articles for each region. Very few articles for each region. Need to improve in that front alot.
