Good app... It's good to have narrative of other side to decide who's playing whom. Truth against lies. Debunked the propaganda.only one issue why live tv is not working. After last update I could only hear the voice no video for 1st time only. After that whenever I go for live tv it's just stuck/app freezes. Is it the app issue or region restriction ... I am currently in South East Asia. Does anyone else is also having the same issue... Plz resolve.

News on this channel is always confirmed by other outlets, excellent world wise views and updated Russian news. App stable, loads fast. I've used the app for about a year+. Pretty reliable and the news is authentic and fair even though at times it's tilted against Russia.
★★★★★
I've always checked in with RT for at least 15 years now. I trust it more than western sources, and I'm glad the Russian government backs it.
★★☆☆☆
It's fun reading a Russian imitation of American propaganda. Clearly our lying is vastly superior and more polished. No ads here... Yay

Vlad is a bastard. RT Is statist "journalism" consisting of content cleverly crafted (run) by yet another servile cozy crony Kremlin kleptocracy: (Margarita Simony an: Also VP of Sberbank: Russia's largest State owned bank). Free Navalny. RT is the last place to turn to for news on what is actually happening in Russia, let alone the world. Pure puerile propaganda. The equivalent of shortwave Radio Moscow back in the Soviet daze. For amusement purposes only.... Fk Vlad... Russia needs to grow up!
