  • Seriously flawed app

    2
    By fxmart
    This is a terribly designed app. The search function is useless, search results have no apparent relation with the terms searched. The app does not keep track of the show currently being watched, it simply goes back to the home screen if you switch to another app. When you come back, you have to search again for the show (good luck with that!) and start it from the beginning. You have to manually search for the point where you left. The app keeps a list of “shows for you”, but the items in this list change randomly, with no apparent reason. It is not possible to select which shows are on the list. Please update it as soon as possible, as it is the app is barely functional.

  • Needs Broader Catalogue

    By Curious Gwen
    The documentaries I’ve watched so far have been super informative and engaging but I’m noticing some big gaps in the catalogue. When you look at the history documentaries, there are very few documentaries about non-European history. I’m really curious about the history of Latin America or Native Americans, for example, but when I search for a particular country or for “Native American” or “Latin America,” I’m more like to get documentaries about, Europe, American national parks, pollinators, or the American frontier. This is also partly due to flaws with their search algorithm, which seems to be hit or miss, but there really are very few documentaries about non European/American history. The nature documentary catalogue seems to be much more comprehensive, and again the documentaries I’ve watched so far I’ve really enjoyed. But these gaps in the catalogue are concerning. If the gaps were filled, immediate 5 stars for me, as this brings back the childhood joy of watching the Discovery Channel or the Science Channel.

  • Staring at a loading screen

    Just downloaded to my AppleTV and have been staring at the loading screen for 5 min. Works great on my TiVo so I guess the 13$ wasnt totally wasted.

  • Dissatisfied customer

    By RdruD3
    I have an issue with this service. That in itself isn’t why I rate CuriosityStream so low. I went to their customer service site to troubleshoot that issue. They responded with an email saying that they will get back to me to resolve the issue. It’s a day later and I have yet to be contacted. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

  • Great service but the needs updates

    By asqany27282
    Love the content but as someone who mostly just listens while at work or commuting the app is a struggle. When I got to answer texts/ calls/ emails I almost always get logged out and half to sign back in and about half the time it won’t remember where I left off. Lots of quality of life updates like this would help a lot.

  • Awesome, Convenient, Great Value!

    What a great way to be given knowledge! One of my favorite things about this app is that you can turn your phone off and just listen to the audio of these documentaries. There are good numbers of documentaries from famous institutions but also lesser known gems that I’m sure you will be pleased to find—I’ve been very satisfied.

  • Great content! CRAP APP.

    By EBissbort
    I love curiositystream, and their content. However, their app is atrocious. Post #1 (11/23/2020): •UI elements have tiny touch activation areas •Loading a series glitches constantly on slower connections •Video player has issues maintaining orientation upon app switch or PIP •Changing orientations can have have disastrous effects on the orientation of individual portions of the UI •All data must load on a series page before any UI response to touch •Series page refuses to respond to touch after selecting a video until that video is fully loaded and ready to begin playback •Cannot easily activate playhead on playback slider in landscape mode •Cannot watch video and simultaneously browse curiositystream content •No apparent caching of static elements for items previously viewed (series, episodes, genres, nothing) It’s incredibly frustrating to use the app, and it makes me wish sometimes that I hadn’t paid. Fix it.

  • Serious quality problem

    By Skupinicecream
    There are a lot of things I like about this service including the MiniPlayer and overall content but there is a serious problem with the stream quality dropping randomly. I’m not paying for the highest 4K streaming quality so I am not expecting perfection, but when I say the quality drops, I mean it drops to giant squares of color that render the image completely unidentifiable. Instead of 1080p HD which i am paying for, I am get what looks like 144p on screen every couple minutes. Again, this is not all the time, but it’s enough to be really annoying- especially because it even happens on my high powered computer when plugged into internet via Ethernet cable...

  • Extremely buggy, keeps freezing

    I wanted to like it, but it keeps freezing and fails to start. Sometimes, it works, but most of the time, it is non responsive and videos freeze.

  • Love it, wish I could queue

    By fox_w_mulder
    I use this app every day. Love it. My only complaint is that I cannot for the life of me figure how to create a queue on the iphone app. My partner is able to create a queue on the android version of the app.
