Keep Watching editing.

Would love to be able to edit the Keep Watching screen. Shows your not interested in hang around with out a edit function.

Back from the future

I used to love this app and watched for years most shows of interest. Cancelled it. But got a new offer,so i joined again only to find out that it has become a lousy app. Some videos won’t play unless you play them one after the other like in what’s in the barn. Worse, if you are in full screen,no way out unless you force close the app all together. It has become very unfriendly. Also, no idea how old is some of the stuff. You can’t see dates. I want to encourage them, but they need to get their shneegles up and running.

WARNING: Cannot cancel subscription

Unethical subscription practices. Once they have your credit card, you are doomed. Cannot cancel online either, even on the very day that the charge appears on your credit card! Their website just sends you into a loop. When I wrote to them about this and said I want to cancel my subscription, they ignored my points entirely, but said they would cut their annual fee in half - but only if I contacted them again to let them know that I want to stay on with them again this year - which presumably means that we would repeat this process again next year. This is an UNETHICAL operation. You have been warned.

Recommendation

Hey ! Curiosity stream kind of thinks that by making some documentaries, it makes people attached . But people get hooked to only micro learning and they seldom pay for documentaries . I suggest you create reels and host them on your platform and each reel shall have an explanation if you swipe right and a documentary recommendation if tapped on the right page. Call me back when you implement this . I will subscribe . Bye until then

Sleezy tactics

They dont allow you to cancel your subscription with the same amount of ease as signing up for it. They wont even let you stop paying in app. You have to get redirected to some other site. Just not seeing “stop paying” easily in my app settings just felt really manipulative.
