Simply not working

Can’t even signup. Ask to join waitlist at gibran.ai.

They’re closed, this should be taken down.

Curio doesn’t work, take it down.

Doesn’t Work

Once you download this the app literally doesn’t work. Aren’t developers paying Apple a monthly fee to keep this running? They gotta save money and shut the app down as this app hasn’t functioned for YEARS now according to Reddit.

Is this typical AI Performance

The bots don’t even answer my questions. All I get are headlines from a month ago. I ask for customer support. There is none. Curio seems to have committed suicide.

Still no life. It’s dead.

I hate it now!

Update: it doesn’t even open now. It’s stuck. Tried to delete and download again. Such a shame. I’ll not renew my subscription ofc!

I used to love this app. The idea and the interface and the human voices telling me news and interesting facts, story telling. Now it’s a cold ugly interface, where AI asks something, and is read by a cold voice which is probably AI too. I hate it so much, I would want a refund. But probably AI is the only one that reads this too.
