Saved Videos

Prior to signing up, it is not emphasised that, although you can save videos for later viewing, this only works if you are still connected still online. For example, you cannot save videos and watch on plane.

For me this significantly reduces the value of this app/service

I love this App

I find really interesting and thought provoking content on here that’s updated regularly and pretty easy to navigate. I think adding little trailers for what you want to view Would be a good improvement but other then that I recommend it to anyone who likes documentaries and science stuff

Excellent content, buggy app

The content is great but the app is impossible to use due to the fact that it crashes all the time. I also have mixed results on the PS4 application.

Screen rotation causes the content to skip outside of the frame and then the app crashes. You often lose your place in the video. Mobile browser might be easier.

Horrendous buffering…

I am so mad that I paid before reading the reviews. This app does not work on the phone ( what app doesn’t at the end of 2021)????
Keeps on buffering despite all other streaming apps working beautifully. Doesn’t keep score of what you watched and at times decides to tell me that they don’t have any docos… rubbish app, go to another service!!!!

Buggish App but Amazing Contents!

Which the app was more responsive, less lag and would not crash every few minutes. Apart from the technical issues of the app, the content itself is solid, interesting and very insightful. Hope they fix the bugs soon and waiting on more original contents. Thank you CuriosityStream team!

Buggy

The app is hilariously buggy

App keeps crashing

Overall very happy with this app. Has all of the normal features you would expect for a streaming service but lately it keeps crashing on me. Would also like to see some more new content but most of the content is pretty good quality. Love the physics and space/cosmology stuff and there’s a good amount on here.

Auto-renewing subscription

I had no warning that my subscription was coming up to renewal so didn’t even notice until payment was taken. Cancelling the subscription doesn’t refund anything so the whole thing winds up feeling scammy.

They do have interesting content, so if you want to try to them out, take a subscription and then cancel immediately, this was you have a single term access.

Awesome paid non-fiction/documentary streaming

The app is so, so. Sometimes has trouble loading and doesn’t have the robust interface that other big name services have. Best way to describe it is hollow or fragile.

That being said its worth every bit of trouble and patience. This is the best and most comprehensive quality documentary streaming service I’ve ever seen. Use it daily and worth every penny!
