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.

Terrible UI

I am sad to agree with the other reviews saying that the UI is a mess. I have no idea whether I am selecting a video or a playlist, I can’t see a way to rewatch videos earlier in a playlist, you can’t mark things as watched, UI elements are too close together (particularly the full screen button and the progress bar) and all sorts of other annoyances. I got a free subscription to Nebula with Curiosity Stream, and I enjoy the Nebula app much more even though I think the content on CS is better. When it’s time for renewal I expect that the UI will drive me away from CS and to Nebula.

EDIT: I am getting the UI more, and I think I’m ok with it. However, the AppleTV UI is different! For example, it doesn’t mark anything as watched!

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... :(
