CuriosityStream for Positive User Reviews

I love this AppI find really interesting and thought provoking content on here that’s updated regularly and pretty easy to navigate. I think adding little trailers for what you want to view Would be a good improvement but other then that I recommend it to anyone who likes documentaries and science stuff.Version: 2.9.4

Maybe one star too many....CS is great, especially at a time when watching any television has become difficult for so many, myself included. But CS could do a better job of avoiding politics in some if its programs. Please don’t give me opinion disguised as fact. I am not curious about your opinions. Otherwise, this channel is like the Discovery Channel was in the beginning. I’ll keep selectively watching..Version: 2.9.1

Amazing! Please downloadI love it so much it is a fun way to learn without getting bored. One of the best app I have ever used!😁😁😁😁.Version: 4.1.12

Not too bad, but could be betterLike the programs so far, but it could use more 4K content though, especially for the premium price. I’m a pretty big science/historical/animal tv show kinda guy and there’s a lot of stuff I haven’t seen on the premium cable channels. I do think the “dashboard” could use an overhaul, it’s like Netflix, but not as user friendly. This review is based on the Apple TV app, I’ve yet to use it on my iPad or iPhone..Version: 2.4.1

ExcellentI love this. Enjoy every article on Astronomy. Very precise and written and explained by some of the best Scientists in the world. Nowhere on the internet can you get as much satisfaction as I do viewing and understanding ( try to ) the world that we live in today. “Complicated, dangerous and unknown”. Enjoy..Version: 2.3.0

Great contentThis is probably one of the best streaming apps. The content is plentiful and the app’s layout is nicely put together. Probably the only problem is that the app doesn’t keep track of the content you have watched like every other streaming platform. There is so much content that at some point you will lose track. It’s kinda annoying that there is no indication of content that you have already watched. :(.Version: 4.1.12

Lovely, but poor video quality...I love the app and the content. However, in spite of my excellent connection (and no problem with Netflix, Prime, or Apple TV+) the app doesn’t seem to be able to buffer the videos properly and they are almost always played at very low resolution on Apple TV. My 5yo the other day asked me if we were watching a Minecraft documentary... :(.Version: 2.8.5

AwesomeWe are loving it!.Version: 2.7.5

Buggish App but Amazing Contents!Which the app was more responsive, less lag and would not crash every few minutes. Apart from the technical issues of the app, the content itself is solid, interesting and very insightful. Hope they fix the bugs soon and waiting on more original contents. Thank you CuriosityStream team!.Version: 2.9.4

My favorite appThis is by far my favorite app and streaming service! Unfortunately though I updated the app today and now I can’t use full screen on my iPad. Hoping this is fixed soon but still 5 stars for an amazing service..Version: 4.1.0

The first thing that is a great app for them iPad card and it givesAnd it was the the first time I saw it that I had a a lot more more and I had a little bit The The first thing that is a great day far you and I love it and it looks so nice and beautiful I hope it works well for for me a lot better and more fun than a good one for the last week of my birthday and it.Version: 2.8.7

Great content not the best experience!I love the diversity of the content on the app and sometimes I spend all my weekend watching! However, I have the app on my Apple TV, and it works fine as long as the app itself autoplay episodes/programs.. etc. However, if I browse and select a show then starts playing, the app shuts down in the 1st minute. This happens with all the contents. I tried everything to fix it, the only thing that works is to reset the app and reopen it. When I do, then my selected show would be in the list of “shows for you” and if I open it from there, it works fine. Otherwise, i just can’t select a show and play it! I hope developers can fix this soon. For the subscription fee, the least I would expect, is a smooth experience! I have to thank you for the content though, wonderful selection and most are very new! Keep up the good work! Thank you.Version: 2.8.10

Great app. A few suggestions.I love this app so far, but right when I began using it I had a few first impressions of possible improvements. It doesn’t seem as if videos are able to enter into wide screen when I rotate my device. I have to manually press the full screen button. I would like it if the app included the full screen when rotating device option. Also, when entering and exiting full screen mode the video begins playing again. This isn’t such a big deal, but I would like it if the app remembered when I paused the video I was watching instead of starting it again whenever I exit or enter full screen. Other than those few minor details, the price for this streaming service is incredible, and the content looks amazing as well. I can’t wait to make more use of it!.Version: 2.7.2

Not quite 5 starsReally enjoy ap as I’m an avid doc watcher and there is a lot of great content but I’m a little frustrated that I can not fast forward or rewind the content I’ve seen or missed. It’s rather frustrating watching the same parts over and over only to fall asleep because I’ve seen it. Full screen option needs a dozen tries before it opens too. No chance of continuing past free trial until these problems are sorted..Version: 2.4.1

Amazing App with a few problemsI’ve been subscribed to CuriosityStream for over a year now and it’s fantastic! However, it seems with the latest update that there are some glitches to be worked out. Specifically When watching a series sometimes it just cuts and acts like I finished the episode even if I’m only 1/4th the way through it and asks if I want to rewatch the series. And it seems a lot laggier than it did a year ago..Version: 2.8.0

Best factual entertainment every body needs.This is the app that really makes me smarter at the same time very entertaining. I’ve learn so many things that helps me wider my perspective of the world we living in. Best platform for people that likes to improve their knowledge about the history, science, and technology..Version: 4.1.0

Bad app/ great contentNo speed controls and no background play. Please just use the native iOS stuff more so it works better. We should be able to speed up or slow down content based our abilities. These really are accessibility basics. Great content and fair pricing..Version: 2.7.6

Would be neat if could download shows to device to watch on my commuteI'm giving it a five because I am really happy to have access to all these shows. Great job getting that together, but I'd like to request a feature... Netflix now has the option to download a set of shows to your device to watch when you are out of wifi range. It would be really great to have this on the app as I, and I am sure many others would really enjoy watching these shows on the commute to and from work each day. Also with more airlines not offering the in flight entertainment, it would be nice to have the option to prepare a few for the flight.Version: 2.1.4

Please fix AirPlay on appletvLove the service amazing documentaries have iPhone 6s but when it goes to sleep when have AirPlay on Apple TV it closes. Please fix the setting in the application..Version: 1.3

Great content.The content is impressive, well worth the subscription. On other streaming services, I have found documentaries lacking. It’s usually one or two good ones hidden in a pile of overly dramatic, patronizing docutainment narrated by hosts whose last job was narrating commercials for selling trucks or “rad” 80’s children's toys. It’s those or reality tv style crud. This service is way better. Everything I’ve watched so far seems facts driven instead of shock/gross-out/train-wreck driven. I do understand some viewers may prefer the more human angle and less facts and data. There are plenty of documentaries on other services that will show you an impossibly specific (made up) family story that could have happened based on a glass pane found in Pompeii to pull at your heart strings and help you care about about glass but I’m glad there is still a service still putting out documentaries that just cover glass because glass is interesting. They are getting harder to find..Version: 2.9.1

ImprovedThe new app seems to fix the search function. It used to be impossible to find anything… The overall impression is positive so far.Version: 4.1.0

Like the documentaries but the app keeps crashingGreat content but your app frequently crashes.Version: 2.9.3

Good content, community reviews would be niceI enjoy most but would like a fast track to the gems.Version: 2.7.2

ExcellentThere is a good mix of content, including documentaries on celebrities from entertainment and sports, as well as educational programming on history, science and medicine, and apparently new content is presented on a regular basis. The app is nicely organized on Roku, including being able to create a watchlist. The picture quality is very good, and at $20 a year it is a definite hit. I tried CS briefly when it was first released, and it has improved a lot. I did notice that several of the documentaries must have been produced for people with short attention spans because they are only a few minutes in length and can’t possibly go into much detail. It’s a jumping off point to do more research, but I prefer something more in depth..Version: 4.1.1

Great for learning. Low cost too!Topics I’ve covered in the last few months: European history NASA Hubble Telescope Darwinian Evolution History of Man Solar System Etc Didn’t study these at school!.Version: 2.6.0

Offline downloads ?This is a great app. I preffer watching documentry and movie while travelling and this is where I feel this apps limitation. Please bring offline download so that we can enjoy app in every moment. Thank you..Version: 2.5.1

Love the content but...... I wish there was the ability to hide the progress bar, volume control etc..Version: 1.5.0

Lacks new contentLove the app, great programs,great price per month. What it lacks is new content. I mostly watch the history part, but it didn’t take long before I’ve watched everything. I’ve been waiting and waiting for new content, but it doesn’t come,am pretty disappointed.Version: 2.7.2

Love the content; but needs Chromecast support!I've had this app, and subscription to CuriosityStream for a bit over a month now. I love it. I do very much wish it would support Chromecast from my iPhone (like YouTube and other similar streaming applications do); I'd watch it more often if that was the case; I don't really care to open my laptop to stream to my TV..Version: 1.5.1

Everyone forgets to review it - so I willI know everyone hates YouTube sponsors, but actually for youtubers since the ad-pocolypse it’s a financial necessity, so I’m glad that these guys stepped in with actual content and a real proper business practises. For example, if curiosity stream wasn’t helping out creators with this, raid shadow legends would be, raid is owned by a casino company and makes money off exploiting kids. In other words, I get that sponsorships on YouTube can be annoying, but curiosity stream is a genuinely really good platform. The content is amazing (+ you get nebula, which is also great), they clearly are listening to the community since I saw a review in here asking for offline downloads and that appeared shortly after, the UI is actually pretty good now, I don’t have any issues with it. All in all, a great place to watch stuff, and youtubers should be proud to have CS as a sponsor. P.S if you are judging off the toal review score, bear in mind it’s a paid for platform, I know it sounds dumb but for whatever reason tons of people download these apps expecting everything to be free and then give it 1 star when it’s not - trust actual reviewers and google it, I’m sure you will come to the same conclusion as me that it is worth your money.Version: 2.7.5

App keeps crashingOverall very happy with this app. Has all of the normal features you would expect for a streaming service but lately it keeps crashing on me. Would also like to see some more new content but most of the content is pretty good quality. Love the physics and space/cosmology stuff and there’s a good amount on here..Version: 2.9.4

Great channel. Will only get better with timeI am very glad I signed up for C S. Channel is awesome. Only issue is sound sometimes cuts out and screen freezes. Possibly too many customers for limited servers?? I have highest speed Fibe available in my area, and no other channel this happens too. But within a minute or so, it is back to normal. So for amazing content, this is minor issue. 4.5 stars. Out of 5. Thanks C Stream. Great channel..Version: 2.7.1

Best content!Updating my review. App is frequently updated, it works very well. I feel bad paying what they charge for the amount of content, I would gladly pay more if it means staying in business longer. I love documentaries and this is great. We canceled all the other streaming subs as we find we watch this way more frequently..Version: 4.1.12

Best streaming service for documentariesProduction quality is amazingly high and there is content for every topic..Version: 2.9.3

Every documentary is greatEven first man is a great documentary! There are so many things that I have yet to explore. I wish this streaming service the best of luck.Version: 2.6.4

Great ContentLoads of excellent content. I find the space exploration stuff (which there is plenty of) very good. The video player could benefit from "skip forward/back" buttons. It's very difficult to just go back 10 or 20 seconds if you miss a bit or want to see something again. Also improved sliding/searching in the player would be good. Very clunky and impossible to get anywhere near your desired point..Version: 2.2.1

Great content, not so great appLots of titles and more and more are being added everyday, however there is many bugs and glotches in the app that deter from the experience. for example when streaming to chromecast when i move to pause the program it always restarts it when the app gets opened. many more bugs, hiring developers to fix these bugs would help the experience greatly..Version: 2.9.2

Wow!This is great! Really interesting content, AMAZING prices and overall just fantastic. Most documentaries are super interesting and well made. All that for 2.99 a month?! That’s so cool! I love apps that make education cheap/free and accesible to everyone. This is one of them! Highly recommend it :).Version: 2.7.5

Great for knowledgeSuperb content at a great price. The app could be made better, but that’s not a serious issue. As long as you guys have great content, I don’t care about the app bugs and interface. Love you guys for sharing so many science and tech documentaries. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have learnt so much. You have got a customer for life..Version: 2.7.2

Hooked! One channel we can no longer live withoutI usually am not easily persuaded to watch TV but since we subscribed to this channel we have watched countless educational shows. I especially loved the episodes about Dogs and also the history of Gettysburg and Abe Lincoln. Those that have young children this station is a MUST!.Version: 2.3.3

Expand your mindTo me, having access to these videos is a joy. I know not everyone may have this same experience. Besides learning a tremendous amount, the production of these shows allows you also get excited and emotional about science and other fields. Every kid in school should be provided with a free subscription..Version: 2.9.2

Great App/ServiceThis App keeps getting better and better. Love this service, keep up the great work!.Version: 2.0.0

Great content. The App needs work.Great deal in terms of content. They also sponsor some of my favourite YouTubers. Haven’t figured out how to connect my account to Nebula. Will want to do that before renewing. Exiting the player crashes iOS sometimes. Navigations is prone to freezing. The search function is utterly rubbish. Can’t tell the difference between Douglas fir, a plane or a Viking..Version: 2.9.4

Great valueContent is great bang for the buck imo. The documentaries reminds me of what shows used to be on Discovery and TLC before the reality shows. Upgraded to 4K and wow! Great for kids too..Version: 2.9.2

Best Content AnywhereWorld class documentaries that are so beautiful to watch, vivid colors, landscapes, oceans, mountains, different science, history, tech and other content. I have been wanting to have something like this for years and just by a friend’s referral I found out about this service. You can’t go wrong. Buy the subscription, it will bring you tremendous value and honestly I can’t believe how fair the pricing is. Enjoy!.Version: 2.9.3

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..Version: 2.8.9

Great with just few tweaks to become non comparableThe application is just great with a lot of amazing content. The value for money is just excellent and non comparable. The only thing that I need to be added in the coming versions is support for Arabic subtitles and expand the library more specially in the scientific part, astrophysics and space exploration Overall: it’s awesome with great quality content.Version: 2.9.2

Great work👌The documentories are very good and informative...I wish i could find more time to watch every single video...Great effort and quality on content and the price is really affordable even for students.Version: 2.6.8

Really great. But subtitles are not working.Works on beta in the web browser. But CC/subtitles are not working in the app..Version: 2.8.9

Hey guysWould love to see a feature where you could view all the videos from a creator on their page from the search bar similar to viewing a profile on YouTube..Version: 4.1.8

Excellent App$3 to gain so much amazing information. But it can be scary when you realise just what is and what's not happening in the world!.Version: 1.5.1

Nice service, but…Lots of great content but don’t waste your money on the 4K subscription tier. I’d say like 95% of what I have watched so far or would be interested in watching is 1080p at best, some might even be 720p. Not the end of the world on mobile but it’s very noticeable on AppleTV and a large 4K display..Version: 4.0.0

Useful update in the new versionGreat app with great contents and finally Chromecast and subtitles support has been added. Now it's perfect!.Version: 1.6.0

Great App !I’m a documentary junkie ! This definitely scratches my itch for knowledge! A great value too ! This is like having PBS’s Nova, the Science Channel, Nat Geo and the Discovery channels rolled in to one, just a click away ! They say variety is the spice of life, this app is a full on spice cabinet! One feature I especially enjoy is how mainstream media usually just touches on an event, where this app goes in depth on the story. An example is the recent discovery of a black hole. A two minute cover on mainstream media After watching a story on CuriosityStream l now understand it better. The bonus is seeing the people behind its discovery. It’s like they are having a conversation with me in my living room ! Education with no test questions, just for pure educational knowledge! Kudos to the developers and those associated with the development of this amazing app! A sincere thank you to the men and women behind the development and production of this app !.Version: 2.6.0

Best Bedtime Story SeriesI listen to one curiosity lecture per night and this is becoming a habit, for those of us too tired to watch a show a podcast-ish show would be very helpful, will you consider streaming the audio version of some shows instead? Thanks again for organising this awesome channel..Version: 2.2.0

GREAT STUFF, But…It’d be nice if y’all would explain the difference between the 3 different subscription plans! Absolutely NO thought given to that at all. I for one have questions, and trying to decide between ‘Basic’, ‘Standard’ and ‘Premium’ is made all that much harder to decide. You should go into your App Store Description and AMEND it asap! I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed this glaring omission! And for the few keystrokes it’d take to amend the description, it’s all the more egregious that it hasn’t already been done by now! Come on guys, you CAN do better! Oh, and I would still like to know the difference, so get in touch!.Version: 4.1.0

Fantastic content, App needs work.The content is top quality and easily worth the price of a subscription. My only gripe is that while the app looks pretty - there are many circumstances where you are having to navigate by thumbnail images alone (times when titles and episode numbers not shown, for example). It is easy to end up in a situation where you just don’t know what you’ve seen and what you haven’t. I would describe the general functionality of the app as quirky, and lacking simple features like being able to filter to show latest releases first. I would rate the app 3 stars and the content 5 stars..Version: 2.8.9

Just awesome!Such a brilliant app. So many things to dive in and learn about. And no ads. Just brilliant! Love it 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽.Version: 2.8.9

Good app and contentThe app worked fine on an iPad 2. Intuitive layout. Lots of interesting documentaries. Low price..Version: 1.1

Fantastic!Great app, so good to see this available for those of us that enjoy learning. Would be fantastic if there was a speed adjustment on the video feed so that we could watch at 1.25-2 x speed just like you can on YouTube. I highly recommend this app and the subscription. You’ll learn more about the world and history by using this app. Absolutely worth the money..Version: 2.7.2

Excellent content, good UIFor documentary lovers this app has some cool content, I don’t care that I can probably find it elsewhere, I like that it’s all here in one place. The user experience used to be poor, but it’s consistently improved with every update and is really good now. I originally got the app because I like to fall asleep listening to documentaries, but for this purpose I ended up with a $5 monthly PBS subscription, they have the most soothing documentary voices to fall asleep to! (With Curiosity Stream it’s hit or miss finding something without loud parts that will wake you up, with PBS you’re guaranteed a good snooze!).Version: 2.9.3

Good content. Website and app need workThe docs are fascinating and well made (which is what really counts and mainly what you pay for). The price point is perfect (very reasonable). But the app and website feel like it’s from 10 years ago. App frequently crashes, plays the not selected doc when casting, randomly stops casting and other more. Just need to improve the interface. For how long I’ve been subscribed I’m honesty surprised (over 2 years) it has not been updated..Version: 2.9.3

Almost perfect :)Please add AppleTv app to complete experience..Version: 1.1

CuriosityStreamReally enjoying it, loads of variety too..Version: 2.5.1

CrashingSince the new update the app just crashes, I open it and it just shows the loading screen and then crashes. Can you please fix this.Version: 4.1.0

Playback speed optionsIbid. it’d be fantastic if we could adjusts playback speeds..Version: 2.7.5

Awesome paid non-fiction/documentary streamingThe app is so, so. Sometimes has trouble loading and doesn’t have the robust interface that other big name services have. Best way to describe it is hollow or fragile. That being said its worth every bit of trouble and patience. This is the best and most comprehensive quality documentary streaming service I’ve ever seen. Use it daily and worth every penny!.Version: 2.9.3

Chinese, Spanish , etc subtitlesNeed subtitles for different languages.Version: 2.8.10

Great app!The content is amazing and the price is very affordable. This is Netflix in documentary field!.Version: 2.9.1

Great Content. Great price. Glitchy App.The content is great and there’s plenty of it. Price is great! Best of all, no commercials and no rehashing of what has already been covered. The app is very glitchy. It’s how the History Channel and Discovery Channel used to be before they went to “reality” type programs. The app is glitchy. Can’t stop a program and come back to it later and start from where you left off. App will crash for no reason. No way to tell if you have already watched an episode in a series so you’ll have to keep track of where you left off..Version: 2.8.1

Stunning Quality!I’m a documentary lover and this app truly delivers! A wide range of videos with interesting topics and all in beautiful quality. Expand your mind!.Version: 2.7.2

Great content, good app and streamGreat content, good app and stream.Version: 2.9.1

Awesome contentGreat for those with curious minds.Version: 2.1.5

Awesome content; app is “sooo last season”CuriosityStream has absolutely amazing content and is definitely something I have been dreaming of being able to access. However, the app feels quite outdated and not nearly up to speed with the current standards of video streaming apps. The web interface is okay. But the mobile app needs a lot of improvement. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is as interested in science as I am.Version: 2.5.0
