Review of Curiosity - a daily knowledge app


Does the thought of having some new information excite you? Are you curious to know more about things? Do you believe that knowledge is power? For those of you who can never get enough of learning new, here is an app that will not just satisfy your hunger for knowledge, it will give you a feast in that regard.


What is the Daily Curiosity app?



In the current world, access to information is endless. However, if you try to search for something new everyday, you may have to waste considerable amount of time thinking about an area of interest, searching for it correctly and reading through tons of waste before finding something worthwhile.
If you would instead prefer to have interesting facts delivered to you daily, this is an app that serves you well. The app provides you five interesting facts daily that have been chosen by editors. If you want to search for facts regarding a specific topic, the app has a big reservoir of subjects (in alphabetical order) to choose from. The content has been created in such a way that you'll discover facts that will leave you wanting more.
On Google Play Store the app has an overall rating of 4.7 and currently has over 1 million downloads. The app is also available for download on App Store and Amazon.


The Curiosity team


The curiosity app is a product of a Chicago based company called Beacon Solutions. The founder, Gabe Vehovsky, has been driven by the idea of creating a platform that inspires people to learn new things by igniting in them a sense of true curiosity. Some of the best content creators are also part of this platform to give users the most interesting learning videos on the web. Detailed information on their team can be found here while the list of their content creators can be found here.

What one would like (pros)


The design, the elaborate storehouse of facts supplemented with awesome learning videos, five new articles daily for the knowledge-hungry people with notification on the new articles as per your preference and beautifully designed content. One more very important thing - NO ADS OR IN APP PURCHASES!

Cons


You need to sign in with either of Facebook, Twitter, Google or email. The articles cannot be saved for offline viewing.

My Take


Curiosity is an awesome app for anyone who has a thirst for knowledge or simply enjoys learning new things. It is a pleasure even to surf through the topics due to its beautiful graphical interface. You have the option to choose whether you want just an overview of a certain fact or go a little deep and see the videos as well. To conclude, while I agree that five topics each day may be a small number, but then there ARE five topics everyday to nourish our brains.
