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 ### 1/5 — Horrible change to platform *2025-11-22, version 5.0.17* 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 ### 2/5 — Wow, charging now? *2025-11-20, version 5.0.17* I have been enjoying this app for many years. Today I am restricted as I need to pay a fee to play. Yikes. ### 2/5 — Can’t resize! *2025-10-31, version 5.0.15* Meh. Latest update has upsized KenKen so the grid doesn’t fit a standard iPad screen — and can’t be resized. ### 2/5 — Better But *2025-10-29, version 5.0.15* It has FINALLY been updated, but is poorly formatted on the iPhone and iPad. Lm looking forward to improvements. ### 2/5 — New and (not) Improved *2025-10-14, version 5.0.14* The newly designed Curious app is definitely not and improvement. The format doesn’t fit iphone plus very well, and the calendar of days is a mess. The day/date is in Header (good) then each game starts with a massive Day/Date header again. The previous version was much easier on the eyes and organized in an easy to follow format. Glad the loading issues are fixed but the rest is truly not an improvement. ### 1/5 — Daily app. Love it. And use free version *2025-10-11, version 5.0.13* I have used daily for several years. Crosswords , Unolingo and daily lessons. Update made it worse. Can’t tab to next field. Logging in doesn’t work magi link is joke. Great app just clunky. Too bad. Loved this app before and needed help but now worse. Sorry to give bad review. ### 2/5 — Used To Be Good *2025-10-10, version 5.0.13* I’ve been using this app for years. The last three months has been hit-or-miss whether the app would load or games would work. Now the new update makes it feel impossible to enjoy. Constantly having to scroll to see clues and figure out what your typing, or text that is way too small to read. Guess it’s time to move onto another app. ### 1/5 — Update stinks. *2025-10-10, version 5.0.13* The app looked a lot better with the previous interface. And now I can only login on the Internet I can’t even login on the app. What on earth is a point of that? The magic link thing was really stupid. ### 1/5 — Was a great site until they upgraded it *2025-10-09, version 5.0.13* I have loved this site for years and play the crossword puzzle daily until they supposedly upgraded their site. Now I can’t do anything on it. ## Frequently asked questions about Curious ### What is Curious - the game of learning? Curious is an app designed to make learning addictive and fun.
