Leave a Review Nebula.
Saved me from YT
After spending way too many hours and days of my life doing whatever the YT algorithm told me to do, I’ve switched to Nebula and won’t look back. The content is watched on my own terms and I feel so happy supporting so many amazing creators. I almost feel like the service was made specially for me (and you might feel this way too!)
Looking forward to continued updates in the app and onboarding of new creators. Keep creating!!Show less#YOLOSWAQ97
Great content, still UX edge-cases
The stuff on Nebula is prime, just wonderful. But until there’s a cross-device “watch later” list, I’ll feel friction with it.
The way I use streaming apps is that I make a queue of things to watch when I have time, and usually I do that on my phone, then watch on my computer or tablet. I can’t do that here, yet.
But otoh, everything I subscribe to on Nebula is pretty much “watch all of it” level quality, so.Show lessSekkitsune
Pretty Bad App
Nebula the service is quite nice but the app is trash. Takes forever to load the main page you are just staring at white for minutes. At least on iOS you can switch to other tabs which seem to load faster but no such option on TVOS. Other than this, you can’t pinch to go full screen or out of full screen. This has been supported by iOS since the beginning. Playback controls over laid on the video is a scourge on the App Store and sadly this app does it too. Every category page the creator view is sorted alphabetically which is useless.Show lessTaurus123
Takes forever to load if it loads
Find it interesting they say this is made by the creators for the craters but yet it’s nowhere near as good as the content the craters make. On the iPad as well as the Apple TV app it takes forever to load if it loads. If it loads usually it’s not updated to the current available content That I follow. Usually I see they’ve posted on YouTube and then I come here to watch for the bonus content and then it’s not here. please upgrade whatever needs the upgradingShow lessomrail
Unreliable
From the iPad and Apple TV app, I’m lucky if I can log in/connect 15% of the time.
The content seems ok, but what’s the point in purchasing something when the service is terribly unreliable?
It’s so frustrating that I’ve given up trying to connect.
I’ll not be renewing, as I’m wasting my money.
It’s unfortunate that the weak technology is not at the level of the contributors.Show lessRob in Mtl
Great content, app needs work
Overall they've done a good job, but there are a few things that would help improve usability. Having the ability to keep a video playing while browsing for the next one would be great. An easy history would be good too.pretenda
Cool content, good basic player, though missing some things
I like being able to support creators more directly and the partnership with CuriosityStream is really cool! I've already followed a couple creators on the app and it seems like the player has basically what you'd need (+bg listening!).
However, it appears to be missing a few key things for accessibility and my own personal habits.
• 1 • No variable speed. Sometimes I don't have enough time to watch/listen to a full length video so I kick it up to 1.25x or 1.5x to help me get through it quicker. Nebula doesn't seem to have this functionality. I don't want to have to start, stop, start again and hope I remember what was said before, etc. :(
• 2 • No captions. I have ADHD. Captions help keep me focused on what's being said when the words are accompanied by a visual medium. A lot of these creators have manual captions on their YT videos so I'm not sure why they're not an option here.
• 3 • No ChromeCast option. There's AirPlay, but I can't throw to my Google Chromecast if I'm in my living room.
The app functions fine, and I'm glad to have it, but I'd love to see improvements like these :)Show lesslmichaela94
Excellent content, sluggish load times
The quality of content, ad free nature, and lack of that time-wasting “one-more-video” hook that YouTube has makes this platform worth much much more than what you pay for it. The only downside is that the website and app are quite slow and buggy.tylerbfalk
Great concept, just needs further polishing
The idea of a streaming service where the money has a much better chance of going straight to the creators with no ads is fantastic. There are many good things about this service. The UI is very fluid and easy to use. The videos keep playing outside of the app, allowing a more flexible user experience. Videos from your favorite creators are pushed forward in a reliable way. There are, unfortunately, many minor issues present. You cannot choose how you sort video listing from a channel. It is only listed in reverse sequential order, beginning with the most recent upload. There is no mini player, so you cannot look for videos while watching a different video. You cannot filter your search in any way, instead you get an erratic list of creators and videos seemingly at random. This service is a great next step in the scene of individual content creation, but it needs to catch up just a little bit on the smaller, yet still very important factors.Show lessSally3733
Subtitles
Hard of hearing user here. Please consider bringing automatically generated subtitles into the app. Thank you!cjlo1996
