I don't seem to be able to get a full free trial without being charged and it appears to want me to sign up for a year and you don't get a free trial with a monthly subscription - is this right? It's a shame as it looks really good - but 7days to then have £45 quid taken puts me off

Just signed up and loving it so far. I think the interface is bit clunky (can I reduce the image size?) and it doesn't turn off when Bluetooth is disconnected. But that's tweaking. As for the cost, people need to be paid. From the narrators to authors It's nonsense that some magic money will somehow pay for everything. It's time we stopped trying to force everyone down to the absolute minimum for what they work at. Pay your way. The summer discount gives a year's access for virtually nothing.

Really like this, but it has a big problem, it only offers education to the upper class by not offering a free version. I think this is such a good idea, but simply dont have the money to educate myself in this way. There should be a free version where you can listen to 3 or 4 adverts before a podacast/report, that way the app can still get revenue as equal to what a subscription would be, but the people who cannot afford it wouldn't be putt off- therefor widening the target audience.

Absolutely love the app! It really offers a good collection of articles that would be very difficult for me to find on my own, especially when many of the magazines require a subscription to read. The Curio subscription is however a bit expensive for a student's budget. I enjoyed the trial, and I think I will need to leave it there.

Wanted to compare to Audm, which I just subscribed to but find lacking in some ways. I'm no longer willing to create credentials just to view app contents. Surely there's a way to allow access _then_ prompt for a trial or sub if one is interested or tries to play something. Unfortunately, the 3-day trial for the competing app wasn't nearly long enough and I inadvertently paid for a service I'm not satisfied with and will likely cancel. Many are too busy to fully evaluate an app in 3-7 days

Faulty app - signed up, keeps telling me to sign up again even though I already did. Then won't let me listen to anything as it says I'm offline even though I'm not. Great idea, terrible execution.
