User Reviews for VOA

Very unbiased

Sadly, modern news reporting is heavily biased and skewed these days. Because of this, I have to trust the American state-owned Voice of America to get reliable news. Plus as a proud American, I love that it dedicates its news to also talk about interesting things about America like I once read a story about houses in America getting bigger.

Useful

I love that this app is available in so many languages. I use it to read articles in Chinese to keep my language skills sharp. Keep up the good work and thanks for the wonderful app!

Should be renamed “voice of the democrat party”

Disappointing that a majority of the articles are framed to and support a political agenda using democrat pushed narratives. How about honestly reporting more than one view point to issues? Or allowing a comment section on the articles?VOA was key to bringing down the ideology that the Soviet Union was built on, destroying a totalitarian socialist regime, freeing millions of people and now it seems to be pushing that same ideology. Sad. Why not hire on some Turning point or Daily Wire writers for starters? Until there is some balance and honest attempts at telling the truth, this is just another source of democrat controlled fake news and propaganda. Tax payers supporting this should get more for their money.

Old Timer

I have listened to VOA since the 1950’s in Switzerland tuning in on lShort wave 41 meter band to listen to John Canceler and the Jazz Hour. I learned and listened to Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman. Artie Shaw and many more of the Swing era. Louis Armstrong and many of the Dixieland Bands were on the program and naturally American News. Some years later, I immigrated to the States to experience this great country first hand. I still occasionally listen to VOA. A great station showing the best of America.

Vanilla State-Run News

The app is a bit crowded, too much going on. Needs to be more streamlined. The content is fine — they rely on the Associated Press for a lot of their stories, though they do have reporters stationed around the world. I like their 5 min hourly news update, which is a good complement to CBS, NPR, etc.This is state-run news that is highly uncritical of U.S. foreign policy. Some of their reporting does mildly criticize domestic U.S. policy, and they do lots of stories on issues facing migrants. Just be aware that VOA rarely gives you the full story of what’s going on, sometimes due to bias and sometimes due simply to superficial reporting.

News

This is actual news from around the world. I finally found a place to get news that rises above the standard of National Enquirer or the Star unlike all the other major news outlets. Thank you!

Great news

Unfortunately the most accurate and non biased news source is now the US state-ran Voice of America. But the news is top quality. As someone with a degree in political science, I highly recommend it! App is excellent too!

Could use some updates

I like that I can increase font size for articles; but, why not for the home screen? I tried leaving feedback from within the app and got email back saying invalid email address. So that needs fixed.

4 of 5

Two more future will make it better. First adding TV casting future to the video player and second auto play setting for radio when you want to listen it while driving.

Great news, but limited sharing options

VOA is part of a dying breed of trustworthy news sources. I just wish the app would give me more options for sharing articles. The only available ones are Facebook, Twitter, Google+ (none of which I use) and email.
