First of all, an overall rating of 2.5 stars is too low for an app that has had a lot of time and effort put into it. I feel it should be at least a 3 star.
I like having a Curio come to me daily for me to explore new things. It just expands my mind about things I never wondered about. I can browse it "free" without subscribing to even the free 30 day trial.
I also like that it has a little bit of everything although it would be nice if it would have more in depth material also about the categories Im searching in. I’m also unsure what the target audience here is…
Some of the things on Curious you can find on YouTube… However, I don’t have to deal with the ads and having to go through all the low quality material there to get to the good stuff.
I haven’t signed up for the subscription yet, but I am thinking about a subscription. I think a starting price of $8 a month is a little high since, as someone else mentioned, you could get a Netflix subscription for about the same. How bout $5 a month and $45 a year? That way after the free 30 day trial Im not forking over $8 if I am not sure if it has lasting value.
A suggestion… I like the Netflix model of profiles… Kids versus Adults… While I don’t want this to become a Kids App, maybe it could rate certain things as G, 13 and under, and 14 and over. I would like my middle schooler to be able to access the content about html and coding without learning about fertilization. And my older elementary school age children can do the drawing, painting, and crafts on the app. I also like that this is a Family Friendly app.
