The idea behind the app is great and very welcome (especially at a sociopolitical time like now). Very good selection and UX. I'm sure the company will grow so will the catalog. There are some aspects like casting/tv app that need to change, but the main issue I find at this time is (lack of) accessibility. Not having good subtitles excludes people; you should at least have CC. I'm sure people wouldn't mind 30s ad at the beginning if it meant you could afford (non auto generated) subtitles.

Delightful app with so many high quality documentaries. I particularly like the shorts - the small, intimate documentaries that you will not find anywhere else. I have shown some docs to my students who were sensitised to realities far from theirs. An excellent informative and educational app. And it's free! Everyone should and can have it. Well done!

I have enjoyed the variety of content that I have found so far and how each doesn't just give information it also tells how one can get involved. Great platform and awesome idea of putting all these resources in a single location. I'm sure there is an agenda but I have yet to see it. Just good honest content.
