High Quality app
Good diverse content delivered in high quality voice.
Needs cleaning up and less clutter
Several of the listed publishers aren’t kept up to date. For example, the most current article for OpenDemocracy is from 2018. The publishers that are kept up to date tend to be the monolith corporate media like Wash Post, FT, Bloomberg, and WSJ or decidedly partisan like the Guardian, Vox, and Vulture. More problematic is the apparent inability to adjust my feed and only see articles from publishers that I explicitly follow. So it’s not really My Feed but Curio’s clutter.
Poor content, poor customer service
Not pleased with the fluffy content, attempted to cancel last year and removed subscription from my apple account but was just hit with another year’s subscription fee. Conveniently, the cancel feature on the app leads me to a broken page (after having already emailed them last year to cancel). Not happy!
Misses the mark
Mostly personal development fluff I skip when reading any of these newspapers. It’s enjoyable for a day or 2, then it becomes way too expensive for what I’m really looking for. I’m basically paying 5% the cost of each publication for the 5% I don’t read.
Love this app
I love this app because it has lots of the world's leading publications (Bloomberg, Financial Times, etc.) and original shows (Wisdom Walks, Gillian Anderson). I love listening to all these and are suitable for any occasion.
Can you pls redesign the interface…
…so I can remove sections I neither want nor use? I’ve never listened to your shows and want to delete them from my interface, but I cannot. I also don’t like how stories disappear from view when I finish listening to them. Why can’t it just fade or be marked “Play” like Audm? Thanks.
News that really matters to me
I'm on my way to work every morning, and I need to catch up on the latest news that really matte
A distinct change in content.
I loved Curio when the stories were varied in science, art, culture, noteworthy people and noteworthy trends and research. Over the last two months, the content has changed. It’s not as broad or compelling. What a shame. I’m canceling.
Brilliantly presented
Audio news articles are so brilliantly presented, that if you're curious about the world, this app is a must.
Only app - Amazing
Curio is the ONLY app that extracts insights from a breadth of news and offers it as personalised high-quality audio, amazing!
