Good

Good channels and hosts (that sometimes drop off the app), good interface. Would love it if they allowed skipping /rewinding with headphone buttons instead of just the screen. Monthly price wasn’t worth it for me though, I did the $300 one time purchase

For the devs

I never get app freezes or crashes, which is all you can ask for these days

Nebula is worth it.

Nebula is a solid bargain in terms of content quality per money you pay. Other streaming services cost more and give you less. Tired of ads in the middle of your YouTube videos? Don’t pay them. Get Nebula.

iOS App icon background

Can you please make it compatible with the latest glass icon architecture. Thanks.

Great overall

Most features work great and content is amazing. I have had some trouble with downloading

The Best There Is

I love Nebula. The content is perfect, the UI is initiative, and the price is great! I would highly recommend!

Request - Autoplay While Locked in CarPlay

Really glad that Autoplay was added as a feature recently! One request I would have is to allow Autoplay to function while my iPhone is locked and in CarPlay. This would allow me to continue listening to downloaded videos while driving without having to stop to unlock my phone and open the app.

Sleep timer PLEASE

App functions great and has a great UI. If they add a sleep timer it will be literally perfect. PLEASE ADD A SLEEP TIMER.

Pretty great

It’s a great service, and the app works pretty well, it’s not bleeding edge or mind blowing but it works and that’s all you really need. I do think the video player is a little sluggish feeling to interact with but it’s not the end of the world. Overall, pretty good!

iOS icon compatibility

Kindly can you update the apps icon so it's compatible with the latest liquid glass iOS operating system so that the app icon fits in theme wise with the rest of the icons. Thank you!

Great, with issues connecting with VPN

I love supporting creators and having this ad-free service, but I almost always have an issue playing videos while on VPN. This makes me very hesitant to use it as much as I want.

My Best Addiction

I liked the part where all the best video essayists are on this app.

Potential

It has great creators and topics but it could improve its search function and appeal to more YouTube creators that make quality content already

Canceled YouTube and haven’t looked back

I realized that most of the shows I watched on YouTube were also on nebula so I just canceled YouTube and almost exclusively watch nebula. Brainrot is at an all time low in our house now.

Great service, crummy app

I think the service itself is good competition for YouTube for those who enjoy video essays and other thoughtful, scripted content. I think the profit sharing program and the fact that this service has creators by invitation only is a positive thing for the world, and I’m happy to support it.

The app is not great. It’s gotten a bit better over the years, but it’s unreliable, and it just doesn’t feel like it’s designed to be used the way I want to use it, in a few ways.

For me, the biggest issue is that it decenters individuals content creators. YouTube’s app has a dedicated tab for channels I follow. This tab has a bar at the top that shows a list of all them, and most of the rest of the screen is a feed for viewing their videos in the order of recency of release. If I tap on a channel individually, it’ll show me just *their* videos in said feed. It’s a quick and easy place to check, to see if there’s anything new from anyone whose work I follow. On Nebula, there is simply nothing like this. It’s designed seemingly to encourage users to watch content the Nebula staff thinks we should watch, and for people who fly often (seriously, putting a dedicated tab for DOWNLOADS on the main screen?!)

This app desperately needs to borrow a bit more from the YouTube one’s design.

Great idea, great execution!

Great app for a great streaming service! This app does everything I wish YouTube would, and just works like you expect. Give your money directly to the creator owned / creator run service!

Love it

Love it

Crazy Lag

I bought a year subscription to this app to support a channel I like and it’s crazy laggy. I’ve been watching a video for 20 minutes and I’ve spent 10 minutes buffering. It stops every 30 sec- 1 minute completely to buffer, and it jutters a lot in between. And because the streaming is so laggy, the video quality is AWFUL. It’s not my wifi- Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Youtube, and Apple have streamed without issue. I’ve never had such a bad streaming experience right off the bat. I’m thinking of asking for a refund it’s so bad.

It’s nice. It has a lot of great educated stuff.

I’ve seen many of my favorite Youtubers often talk about Nebula, today I decided to check it out and I really liked it. Also found some other stuff in there as well, like I said this is mostly just educational but it’s really great and I highly recommend it if you’re into that stuff.

Great content, app lets it down

Love the content and it’s definitely worth it but the app completely lets down the service the lack of video queuing and recommendation algorithm ruins the experience to the point I winter subscribing again next year.
