*App build issue* I like the service, but the app is incredibly annoying as it automatically opens in the phones background and you can't close the app by swiping it away in the background like other apps. It just stays there and had a padlock icon and won't close. It also uses battery and drains approx 6% of my battery just because its open in the background. Annoying as hell due to this technical issue.

I am very disappointed with Offline play feature in this app. Download is very slow, sometimes just gets stuck or app is shutting down. But biggest issue was when I discovered that all downloaded episodes were useless, since app still wanted to stream it on cellular network. What is the point of saving and downloading, when episodes are still being streamed? Not to mention, that app has many other problems on my phone, mostly graphics and UI related. I regret spending money on subscription.

The phone app is the worst. I can't remember being able to finish a single documentary because of constant buffering after a couple of minutes. I'm able to stream 4k video on other apps flawlessly, but Curiosity can't manage 720p for more than a minute. This has been an issue for a long time, so as far as I'm concerned Curiosity Inc do not care, and are just happy to continue collecting money from people, without improving. Don't bother with your insincere 'oh no, please email help@...'
