Horrible business model

Judge Avis

Definitely do not recommend downloading for even a trial. You need to set to apartment plan for an entire year before you can even try it for free for 7 days. Prays on a person's forgetfulness.

Love it!

You get a free week, then if you don’t cancel, you get charged $30 for the year. What I get out of the app, however, is worth far beyond the $30.

Accidentally paid for a year... but I’m pretty ok with the mistake

So far it seems like a worthwhile investment. I’ve only just started to use it regularly after having it for a month and have just been figuring out its uses. The games are somewhat challenging. I enjoy the positive talks and find them inspiring while also showing me I could make my own. After two days I have learned how to sign the alphabet and that is something I have been talking about doing for 6 months. I will be diving deeper into this app while continuing to practice the features I have found already. I do find it expensive, but if you think about how ridiculously priced private college is this is a cheap way to learn skills that can pad your resume and make you stand out amongst other candidates.

I’m not adding payment unless I want a game for sure. Give the 7 days then stop it. If a person really wants a game after playing then they will pay for it. -1*

Misleading costs

The app, which has been featured on several sites, seems free. It’s not. There is a free trial period but when you download you actually authorize a subscription. In a couple weeks, you’ll get a prompt to login to your account (I get these all the time with software updates), and you’ll be charged $30. I felt this was shady and got a refund.

Religious discrimination!!!

I respect people who equally treat other people. As I searched through the app, I was surprised that there was so much information on evolution (which I disagree with, but that’s not the point) there was nothing about creationism, most of the lessons I browsed were presented from a perspective that is against Christianity and the teachings of the Bible (that most were proven right long before everything science ever thought), At least there are good things written about Islam, but about Christianity everything is messed up. So sad,

Balanced learning for the love of learning

I use a lot of educational material online. In fact about 90% of my online activity is dedicated to learning. I have used many educational apps as well. Curious provides a platform to learn a wide array of topics. It seems more about actually learning in general with the option to see if you like something before dedicating a lot of time to a specific learning endeavor. Also, it provides both learning game exercises and lessons on various topics. This is an exemplary model of online learning that is as practical as it is innovated. A keeper!

Dislike

The fact they give you a trial and the bill A FULL YEAR upfront shows they make money off people forgetting to cancel the trial rather than substance

scam

Brookestien11

you can learn things on your own time whenever you want. Paying for it all in one place is absolutely stupid, and the app doesn’t look good or function well enough to be worth buying anyway. a complete scam that made me check to make sure my debit card wasn’t hacked after use.

Seriously my favorite out of all time!

This is the first review I’ve ever written, and only because I love this app so very much. I work out of my car and use the time between clients to listen to learning modules. I love the puzzles which are usually challenging, especially KENKEN. I am learning all kinds of random facts from the Curios! Best investment ever on an app.
