CuriosityStream (Phone/Tablet)

CuriosityStream is 100% awesome. It's the Discovery Channel and History Channel before the reality shows on steroids. You can literally choose any random video and be blown away. The app sucks. 1. You can't stop viewing and continue later. 2. Some videos are series and at most times won't go to the next. 3. When watching a series and the phone shuts off, it's difficult to find what you were watching. 4. The viewing history is not reliable, Can't find what I was viewing or which series I was just watching. 5. I run Chromecast and often have to disconnect and reconnect. 6. Watching a series on Chromecast, it won't go to the next video until you disconnect and reconnect. 7. This happens using the app on Android with Galaxy 7 Edge. 8. This also mostly happens on the laptop Retina 13. CuriosityStream is 100% awesome!!!

It's not bad. Some shows seem redundant, but it's still a good service. I'd give the app more stars of you fix the casting. Its glitchy and the CC/subtitles don't cast. Really annoying for history buffs who like to read names of places and references.

Works great for me! 30 bucks a year for great programming. Who can argue with that? (Well, some ppl obviously) The shows stream fine. I use screen mirroring and watch on my TV. Waiting for a smart TV app.

Incredibly diversive. Whoever was saying it's repetitive didn't realize its got tons of different genres and subgenres. I'm not entirely sure what they're doing on a documentary app when they didn't take the time to figure that out. Highly stimulating, and I'm constantly starved for knowledge. 10 stars!!!!

So far the app is running great other than the fact my menu buttons are still on screen when in full screen but it's not that big of deal to me. Love the content for the price. Well worth it.

App is poor - very limited functionality with chromecast. Start and stopping and no auto play. Most docos are only 1min long.

All the documentaries seem the same? Same hosts etc.

App doesn't work for Android. It's buggy and incomplete. Also, who wants to watch 2 minute episodes? If it's under a half hour I'm not watching it. In any case, I haven't been able to stream for over a month now. Subscription cancelled.

This app wants you to pay for access to watch things that are free. For example, there are a lot of videos that you can watch through that are done by the BBC. You don't have to pay for the BBC, so why would you ever give them money to watch free stuff. I looked up a few of the videos that they give you access to things that you can still watch on the BBC, youtube, and netflix. This app is just trying to rip you off. DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS APP!!!

Fix the chrome cast problems, please.

This app is a best in the world but have slow server and that's why I can't play documentary on low speed Internet connection....... I request to curiosity stream that too make fast its server as soon as possible

Great content. Cant play a single episode without many stopages until it finally stops all together. Gonna cancel my subscription. Fix it!!!

Love the concept but the app is super unstable in Android. Works like a charm in Windows though

I love this service.

Great content, crappy app. Force closes, fails to display content thumbnails so you can see what's available. Have to resort to using the web browser to watch anything.

Content is great. But the app is horrible. 5/5 for content. 1/5 for the app. Please redesign the app.

Content is excellent.......If you could watch it. The apps for android and Xbox are so useless. My tablet closes back to main screen, every time starting a video. On the Xbox, we'll to much to mention......Curiosity does this product work or not.....bug fixes.....still bugged

DO NOT BOTHER. The worst app in terms of glitches and crashing. Constantly shutting down and when it's not crashing none of the titles or thumbnails show so you have no idea what is even on offer. An absolute infuriating waste of time for something you pay for. Hated it.

The picture on my galaxy S7 is teeny tiny. On most video phone aps such as Netflix, when I turn my phone on its side, I get a full screen. That CuriosityStream doesn't offer this is not acceptable for my purposes.

Just downloaded it. Nice content. App is very glitchy. Starts and stops for no reason, doesn't show all the titles in the collections just the curiosity logo, screen freezes and you have to restart your device. These designers need help.

I do not think much of this app. When I first purchased the 4K plan it seemed to work fine. Tonight I can't get ANY 4K material stream. Normal HD content barely streams and the help section is totally non-responsive. I may be cancelling if this is the norm.

I love all the different content, that part is excellent. I use a Lenovo Yoga 2 tablet. It constantly refreshes and I cannot even browse the content. It casts to my Chromecast no problem but I am unable to watch on my tablet. And of course not being able to look through everything is annoying.

Has many glitches and stability issues on every device i own. Either this software was rushed out the door as an alpha release or it was created by a group or junior developers or dropouts. Either way, they need to get their stools together and redeem themselves on the next release.

Love the concept A little bit glitchy at times with excessive buffering but that seems to improve as I watch. Valuable content that is long overdue

All the types of programs I'm into watching available in one place. I've seen others having problems with buffering, I watch on an older 4G and sometimes an 3G connection and haven't had any buffering issues on any of my devices.

Great App, enjoy so much. No issues on my Note 5. Can't get enough. Only wish there was an offline mode. Maybe pre load some content for those Times I have no wifi access.

I think you should save your money and find everything in their library on YouTube. Just type in science documentary.

On my phone, this app only uses my data, will not work on wifi. It is a pig.

i cannot figure out a way to cancel my subscription!! i tried it from a desktop also from an android device

Nice app with a good layout, but I noticed many of the documentaries in this app are also available on YouTube.

I am being educated at my age of 82 .wonderful

So much information, Extremely interesting.. love it!

doesn't stream properly to vizio tvs. i can't play anything without it constantly buffering, all while showing just the time bar and no content. meanwhile hulu, hbo now, youtube and netflix all work very well in comparison at fhd and 4k

4k streaming does not work on Vizio TVs.

Cant click on nothing to log in love on my computer would be great on phone but also no closed caption on computers

At this stage , i am only streaming through the website as the app is, for all intent and purposes, unusable.

Like the app so far. But I wish there are more business related documentaries

It won't let me log in

I LOVE that I can watch CuriosityStream anywhere there is a strong signal.

Works really well for me streaming using the speedy version of Chromecast
