Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app, but I'm less than impressed about the NOS' implementation of video news items (once they're out of the most recent news feed they show up under a general 'video' header without any reference to the original article or, occasionally, without any context at all) and more recently and more regrettably, the addition of advertising. Update: just tried to play a video, got 3 (!!!) different ads lasting about 2 minutes, and then the actual video would not play. Terrible!

Okay app, Okay news quality and depth. The NOS articles are often simple (albeit sloppy) bits of information. It pushes somewhat poor writing to ride hype trains. Quality seems less important than speed here, because the articles then get hidden updates during the day. Nieuwsuur bits which are mixed in have better content. There is no way to filter out uninteresting topics (e.g. sports). However, the app is clean and doesn't come with a loud and chaotic visual design or any ads.

Who is responsible for this update? To see a specific sport you have to scroll down 3-4 screens in the NOS Sport section and look for, what feels like, a hidden menu? (Ugly looking rectangle buttons) Even if you filter in 'latest', which cost alot of clicks to get where you want to go, you can't see the agenda/statistics/etc of the specific sport..

What's new

De NOS TV App is vernieuwd! Met de NOS live app hebben we het kijken naar livestreams nog eenvoudiger gemaakt. Naast zo'n 500 livestreams per jaar van nieuws, sport en nationale evenementen vind je uitgebreide programma-informatie van livestreams die er aan komen en kun je tijdens een live-uitzending via momenten eenvoudig belangrijke momenten terugkijken. Bovendien kunnen de laatste uitzendingen van het NOS Journaal, het NOS Jeugdjournaal, Nieuwsuur en het NOS Sportjournaal teruggekeken worden.
