Reviews for Nebula

I can't pause a video and pick up where I paused. I have to close it and reopen and navigate to where I was. I think playing videos is what most people use the app for so why can't you folks even get that core freature to work smoothly. I got an awesome deal for a year membership, $15 I think for Curiosity and Nebula. But even at that price I won't renew when the time comes unless the app is improved.

I don't know if it's just my phone or what, but this app runs really janky, far more often than I would like. Most of the time it's okay but sometimes it won't play without stopping for looooooong stretches and you can't download a single video in less than an hour when it is like that. The playback controls are also awkward (progress bar is frequently hidden in landscape, 10s rewind doesn't work when you hit it multiple times).

Just started using this app. It's mostly ok and I was surprised the score is as low as it is. But I can't stand how slow it is to add something to watch later. When you press the menu item, that should just be instantaneous, but instead you have to wait until it gets saved or something for the menu to go away. Probably is just the first indication of lack of polish so we will see, but it gets very frustrating

Unfortunately very frustrating. The app just inexplicably pauses videos playing in the background every ~10 minutes and requires you to re-open it and press play again. Sometimes it just crashes when you try to open it back up. If it weren't for the carrot of supporting the content creators, I definitely wouldn't use it. For reference, I have a Pixel 6 running Android 13.

First off, the content is great, but the app itself has a lot to be desired. No way to change video quality (which always seems to play in low for some reason), no playlists or or auto play, can't pause or play using the buttons on my bluetooth headset, and plenty more QOL issues. There's potential here, but it just needs to be presented in a better, more usable package.

Great content on a technically clunky app. Potential subscribers who watch on several devices should be particularly aware of how payment is collected. I subscribed on Google Play on Android expecting the price to cover every platform, the same as Prime or Netflix. But when I loaded it on Roku, I had to pay AGAIN, albeit a pound cheaper. I paid but then cancelled on Play. I'm not going to have a breakdown over £5.49, the price of lunch, but it did leave a sour taste.

Lifetime sub here. I paid because I believe in their mission of creators being free to be able to make what they want, but I think the app still needs a lot of work. None of the recommendations I get are interesting to me (I think this is because they'll only recommend one video per channel in a category); there's no queue/dynamic playlist; autoplay doesn't seem to work a lot of the time. I want you guys to succeed but right now it's easier to use youtube vanced to watch the same videos.

Great idea for an app. However downloading large videos is taking longer than 24 hours (and still going) at this point, and the buffering is so bad that it's taking me 2 hours to watch 45 minutes of footage. This isn't happening for me on other apps, so I don't think it is just due to my WiFi. I feel bad because I'd rather not go to YouTube, but I don't see any other way to finish the video I'm watching at this point.

I appreciate Nebula for what it is and enjoy that there is an app so I can listen to videos on my phone. However, the app is Extremely buggy, crashing and/or ceasing to respond routinely when I use it. I almost always wind up having to force close and reopen the app several times in a single session for one reason or another. There is also no playlist option, which is disappointing. For a paid service, I wish it worked a bit better.

Nebula is an AMAZING service! It has so much to offer and at a world-beating price! BUT... the app itself is garbage. Idk who is responsible for maintaining it but its effectively unusable. I've never used an app that gave me so much trouble. Sometimes it simply wont load. Even when i clear the cache, close down all my background apps, and have full wireless or wifi bars. Im done fighting. When my annual subscription for this year is done, if they havent fixed it, Im canceling my subscription.
