Thousands of documentaries, one payment

Curiosity Stream comes from John Hendricks, who founded Discovery Communications. His streaming service is all documentaries, with thousands of films, series, and shows on science, technology, history, nature, and art. New titles arrive every week, so the library keeps growing long after you pay. Series include Planet of Treasures, Engineering the Future, Deep Time History, and Into the Jungle. Stephen Hawking’s Favorite Places follows Hawking on a computer-generated trip through the universe, and that trilogy won Curiosity Stream its first Emmy for graphic design and art direction.

Everything streams in 1080p HD on desktop and mobile. You can download episodes before a flight and watch without Wi-Fi, bookmark a show for later, or start on your laptop and finish on your phone. Apps run on Android 5.0 and up, iOS 11 and up, Android TV, and Xbox One, and older Apple TV models can play shows through AirPlay. Built-in search tools sort the catalog by subject, so finding something on ancient history or deep-sea life takes a few seconds.

Parents who homeschool can use it to add to science and history lessons, and anyone who likes learning something new at night gets a steady supply of material. On the App Store, the app has a 4.7/5 rating.

This deal is for new Curiosity Stream users only. Your code needs to be redeemed within 30 days of purchase.
