Ratings and Reviews
Have been needing something like this for ages!
What a truly fantastic concept! There is so much out there that we can use to help teach us and take action, but it’s been very difficult to know where to find all these things. UNTIL NOW! WaterBear provides a platform to watch, learn, connect and take action all in one place. It looks slick and beautiful too. I think this has got legs...! And now with the likes of Prince Harry behind it, the world will very quickly find out how great and quite frankly vital WaterBear Network is.
Brilliant idea
There are so many amazing documentaries to watch, covering a great range of topics and many worthy causes. I love being able to filter them by length for when I’m short on time but still want to watch something interesting, engrossing and inspiring. A truly great concept in a really well designed app. Since discovering Water Bear it’s become one of my favourites and I’d recommend it to anyone.
No proper subtitles/CC
As much as this app is a breath of fresh air, I’m incredibly disappointed by the fact there are no proper subtitles/closed captioning other than autogenerated ones.
For myself, I have ADHD and so subtitles help with the intake of information, but when they’re not correct it’s incredibly off-putting and frustrating. On top of that, imagine what it’s like for those who are hard of hearing not being able to access content correctly. It’s actually quite terrible for something like this to have not been thought about as standard. I would have expected this app to have been way more accessible.
Whilst I understand this is still a fairly new streaming service (and free) and provides some amazing content - the lack of accessibility is somewhat damaging to a good portion of users.
On top of that… still waiting for some more casting/streaming options 🥲
