Update sucks

Every time they update this app is gets worse. Now you need a magic link instead of a password but by the time the link is sent it’s expired. You just keep going around in circles. FIX IT FOR GOOD PLEASE

Horrible change to platform

This went from a very user-friendly and fun app to something. I never want to play again. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it doomases

Wow, charging now?

I have been enjoying this app for many years. Today I am restricted as I need to pay a fee to play. Yikes.

Can’t resize!

Meh. Latest update has upsized KenKen so the grid doesn’t fit a standard iPad screen — and can’t be resized.

FAQ

What is Curious - the game of learning?

Curious is an app designed to make learning addictive and fun. It provides personalized daily learning workouts that include short lessons, puzzles, and interesting facts ('Curios') to help users expand their knowledge and grow their Curious Quotient (CQ).

What kind of content does Curious offer?

The app offers over 25,000 video lessons across eight key knowledge areas, including Aesthetic, Humanities, Mind/Body, Music, Play, Relationships, S.T.E.M., and Work. It also provides daily puzzles like crosswords and math challenges, along with daily fun facts.

How much does Curious cost?

The app offers daily Curios and intro lessons for free. Full access to the entire lesson library requires a subscription, with options like a 1-year subscription for $69.99 (US pricing). A free trial is included with each subscription.

How does the app personalize my learning?

After a brief interview, you tell the app how much time you want to spend learning each day (5, 15, or 30 minutes). Based on this, it customizes your learning experience and delivers a personalized daily workout via email and on your dashboard.

What are the benefits of using Curious?

Curious helps you reclaim 5 to 30 minutes a day to learn something new, making learning enjoyable and accessible. It allows you to track your progress, add lessons to focus areas for long-term goals, and become a more interesting individual by continuously acquiring new knowledge.
