Would you first pay for a car and then see what it looks like?
I was not only disappointed, but felt misled, when I was told that curiositystream is not available on smart TV’s (other than Apple). I believe big screen tv would be the most desired vehicle to use this program. It appears that management has made some serious errors in releasing this product without smart tv capability. Perhaps there are competitors who will be able to provide smart tv programming, etc., etc., etc.,……….

I believe the mass advertising on various media, both in print and visual, is not only misleading, but omits crucial information for one to make an intelligent decision. In addition, if one “signs up”, that person automatically will be billed after one month of free service. That is too steep a price for me just to find out about the program.

Hi Robert, thanks for your comment. Sorry you’re having a hard time. It sounds like you may not have complete info about the service.

As we mentioned in our own editorial post about this (it’s not advertising, just something we liked and wanted to share), you can try the service free for the first 30 days. You provide your cc number — standard practice for any free trial — but will not be charged. Not sure that any car company would allow you to own a car free for 30 days first but that would be awesome!

In other words, you’re not paying any price at all. That’s not really a “steep price to pay.” And if you do keep it after 30 days, the standard plan starts at $2.99/mo.

On the website, there is a list of exactly which apps allow you to use the service: https://help.curiositystream.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001807107-Where-can-I-download-the-CuriosityStream-apps-
They include iDevices, Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Amazon Fire Stick. You can also watch it on any laptop or desktop with a basic web browser. So this is definitely not limited to Apple TV.

However if you only want to watch it through a Smart TV, and can’t watch it on your own model, this message is on their site:

While our Smart TV apps are still in development, there is a way you can view CuriosityStream on most Smart TVs! Please reach out to us directly at 1-844-778-8999 or help@curiositystream.com and we would be happy to assist you with this based on what type of Smart TV you have. https://help.curiositystream.com/hc/en-us/articles/209260738-What-platforms-do-you-currently-support-

Perhaps try reaching out?

Sometimes you just need to hit the company website to look at the FAQ, and a lot of questions will be answered. No advertising for any product or service in the world can ever provide all the details and answer all your questions.

Hope that helps, and best of luck. -Eds
