Pros and cons of Great Big Story app for iPhone and iPad

Great Big Story app good for

View these stories with an open mind, and youll learn more about yourself and gain both humility and a better understanding of humanity. Beautifully designed and straight to the point; get this app.
I really like the application it has a lot of potential and looking forward into it, but I encounter some bugs; when I watch a video and turn it to have a fullscreen the app crashes, and there is some random crashes when passing through videos. Optimizing this app will make it my number one prefered app for sure! Keep up the good work!
Love these stories, the world is so wide. Id love to see more!!!
This app shares positive and motivating stories of people and events from all around the world. The videos are high quality and very well produced. Keep the new stories coming!
The quality of videos from GBS is amazing. I really enjoy watching them!
Amazingly engaging content and a seamless app experience. Love the daily updates of videos.

Some bad moments

If you want an app thats like one marketing YouTube channel than this is for you.
We you guys should do for a massive update is give us the right to show opinions. What I mean is, not just to heart it but show emotion like Facebook did. Reasons why, number of how much people are watching each video everyday and showing true opinions about it. Also there could be a commenting section for each one so people can chat with others that is curious of the unmentioned hard workers that work harder to improve our lives and curious of the unknown. Idk how you guys keep on creating new ideas for more videos but if theres a struggle to think something up for the new week, you should ask the viewers to brainstorm also and give ideas. I would love to help, but give us the option to ask for what were curious about
I cant start my day without a coffee and a daily dose of Great Big Stories! These guys know what theyre doing - every video is amazing. The app is sleek, creative, and user friendly. Finally, someone out there is getting it right.
Loved the fact that this is all Video news app. Among other gazillion news apps, this one stands out because of two things; the neat uncluttered layout, and all video news items. After the now-extinct Daily news app (remember the iPad 1st generation app that died within 1 year of release?) this is by far the best iPad layout Ive experienced for News. Kudos!
The idea is amazing and I love the videos. Theyre inspiring and fun to watch. But the app is a little buggy, like when I press the captions button in the player, it brings up the options to change languages but doesnt dismiss/go back when the back button is pressed. And the general fluidity of the app can be increased. Using the app on an iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1
I love waking up to these videos, they light up my day and are super interesting. But it would be cool to have some more each day not just three.
