Automatic autoplay. Of things you don’t want to listen to.

Seems useful but got charged for an annual subscription when responding to a 7 day free trial

That alone makes me less likely to recommend. There’s no immediate way to change even to a monthly charge or cancel the year subscription even though the charge went thru only moments ago.
Nice to have things in one place

Although I have subscriptions to some of the publications in the curio app already, I enjoyed the way that I can listen to them in a more selective way and in a single app, compared to switching between apps during my driving

Unusable for some reason.

They use dark patterns to convert trial into subscriptions. It’s a opt out process not pot in- Be careful
Good content, narration needs work

Pro: love the idea that I can consume in-depth articles while driving. There are other apps for listening to the news, but this is the best I’ve seen for long-form articles.
Con (please fix!): Some narrators seem to act out the article, as if it were a performance. This takes away from the content I came here for. When I find myself listening to a dramatic reading, I close the app.
Robotic AI Reading, Not Great

The idea is great… Audible for news. However, it’s very clearly AI reading these articles. Sounds robotic, distracting.
This is NOT Audm

Narrow selection of periodicals, no access to written text and very expensive. I miss Audm!
Way overpriced

I enjoyed this as a free app for a while. Just went in today and now they are asking me to pay. I have no problem paying but subscriptions are adding up and to add another $16.67/month ($199 immediately) subscription is simply unaffordable.
Sad to go but as essential costs skyrocket, $16/month is a luxury I can’t justify.
