What's New

The VOA News English app is being discontinued and will removed from the App Store at or around July 15th. We have a new version of the app that will allow you to stay up to date with the latest news.

Simply search for VOA News in the app store and install the new app. Our new app logo is red but contains the same reliable news and information that VOA has provided for over 75 years.
