Contact Curious Support

I wanted to try it to see if I liked it so I signed up for the “free 7 day trial” and was charged $70 immediately. What the hell kind of free trial is THAT?! Applied for a refund through Apple so I’ll see how THIS goes. Why are there so many reviews like this? It’s a cool app and I’ve used it up to the 8credits every day for a long time. Thought I’d check out what the full subscription offered me. Now I’m pretty upset. I don’t have that $70 I can spare until next week when the app would renew. Terribly misleading to say the least. *update* I WAS charged and I contacted Apple. They immediately (it showed as a refund the next business day) refunded me the full amount. Whatever issue Curious has with Apple on this matter really should be rectified because it’s not just me that it happened to and now this issue overshadows any review for the actual app content and that’s a shame. So besides THAT crappy glitch I enjoyed Curious. Sure, some people could find all the individual offerings of this app in other places perhaps but, will they? It IS a cool app with interesting diverse content based on your interests. Like a compiled news app, it’s nice to have what I didn’t know I was looking for yet presented to me in this format.

This app is absolutely one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with an IOS app. The app itself is sub par at best I’ve had a better experience with other apps that can triple the benefits that this app can deliver. Secondly the consumer support is absolutely terrible I’ve sent many emails to attempt and revoke a payment that they charged me for a “FREE TRIAL” they did not send an email asking if I wanted to continue but instead charged me 30$, and for that reason I am no longer able to download new apps, I can no longer update apps, and lastly I can no longer purchase songs or re-download any deleted content. Again do no download this app, there are better options out there.

I paid for this app for a year because it seemed really exciting. The games are fun. But you can easily find the same games for free other places. The topical lessons are much poorer quality than many other sources like Lynda (free with library card) Udemy, Masterclass, and a dozen other professional lesson platforms. As for the articles and info, that content isn’t based on fact. Their content appears to be news-style reporting on real information. That’s actually really dangerous for those who use this app as a way to inform their world outlook. The data are irresponsibly used for the sake of sparking interest, the content is slanted with bias, and some of the information is just wrong. Opinions stated as fact are not great when they come from a source that people often view as an authority on information. Either review, regulate, and edit your content for accuracy, journalistic integrity, and bias filtering, or get out of the news/current events/info world and stick to puzzles and number games.
