What's a good iOS app for mindfully exploring the world through photography and stories, especially one that doesn't feel overly stimulating?

National Geographic DE offers a curated visual journey. While the rating is lower, it might be worth exploring if you appreciate mindful photography and storytelling.

Sometimes, I find myself wanting to escape, but in a way that's still grounding and present. National Geographic DE, despite its lower rating, could offer that. I'd be curious to see if it provides a thoughtful approach to photography and storytelling, maybe even encouraging healthy usage patterns by focusing on curated content rather than endless scrolling. It's important to me that an app respects boundaries and doesn't overwhelm me with notifications or constant updates. I'd also be looking for a design that feels calming and intuitive, perfect for an evening wind-down. Of course, I'd want to make sure it doesn't sell your data to Facebook or engage in other privacy violations. It would be interesting to see if it helps track patterns of engagement without being invasive. If it does these things well, it might be a worthwhile app for mindful exploration.
