CuriosityStream

I feel mean saying this because I know it’s relatively early days for curiosity stream but this thing is barely functional and has bigger-all content. Don’t waste you time or money.

Videos play for 2 min or less. Nothing in help. I email help desk and did not receive any reply for ages. I contact Their Twitter account and no reply as well. The 2 min problem is famous for years and they don’t seems to fix it. Anyhow, I don’t recommend it unless you would loss your money.

This is a matter for Consumer Affairs as you’re taking money for a service that doesn’t work and you know it’s seriously problematic. I’ll be lodging a complaint in 7 days if the service isn’t rectified or I don’t get a refund This is a paid app therefore one expects a degree of professionalism. I haven’t seen any responses to poor reviews & it crashes on my Ipad rendering it unusable. It’s a great idea & content is interesting so why screw your business by issuing an app that’s obviously problematic given the reviews.

Content is interesting. However let down overall by extremely poor “continue watching” feature. I Chromecast whenever I watch anything, and the app fails to correctly recognise where you stopped watching a show. Leads to needing to search for the spot you left to continue watching which is extremely frustrating especially when other streaming services don’t have this trouble.

Crashes after a short amount of usage on iPad.

The app is unusable. It just closes and we can no longer use it at all.

Continual crashes on iPad. App went from a bit dated but useful, to “fresh” but unusable.

After the last two updates this app won’t open without crashing. Not much good to me. I want to use this app but cannot get it to open further than the opening screen before it crashes. If anyone actually reads these I would like some help please.

My partner has updated his app and the picture only plays on half the screen with no way to change it. It looks widescreen but with about a third of the top in black with no option to use the whole screen. Not a great update and I won’t be updating my app!

One of the recent updates has broken the video player. On iPad, content in landscape mode now falls off the bottom of the screen, so you can only see 2/3 of the video. Content is effectively unwatchable and needs urgent fixing. Looks like others have the same issue. Decent content, but this bug needs fixing asap.
