I downloaded and installed be it was listed in Google home as being compatible with Chromecast. There doesn't seem to be any controls at all while watching videos. No way to go forward, back, pause or to cast it to my Chromecast on my TV. Rather disappointing.

I am curious about a wide variety of topics and the site offers the opportunity to explore. I enjoy the short takes 3 +/- minutes in which I can feed my curiosity and increase my knowledge. Many topics are offered.

Really enjoying the widely varied subject matter & fascinating topics. The visuals are excellent, especially the nature & critter clips. My only gripe is most are too brief; I would love knowing more details & having in depth background information...

Great app with clean interface that allows you to easily view media that is both informative and entertaining, the only drawback so far is that there is a limited amount of full episodes so you can view them all pretty quickly if you binge watch like me.
