Ratings and reviews

Excellent content. Top-notch audio and video. But...no resume on play option: if you leave the app, you need to start the video were watching from the beginning, unless you remember where you were when you stopped. Also, the Feedback option doesn't provide an email address for you to submit your problems or suggestions to. Lastly, AFTER you renew your subscription, you'll get all sorts of emails about freebies if you buy a 12 month ticket. No such freebie offers are made if you simply renew.

Excellent app, if I may make a few suggestions to make it ever more awesome. First, there should be Bookmarks, History and personal playlists on top of Favorites. Second, audio only option. I might not want to watch the concerts on my phone while multitasking, commuting to work, etc. We could beam the audio to AirPlay, Chromecast compatible devices. Last but not least, more content. How about historical recordings, radio broadcasts from legendary conductors like Furtwängler, Celibedache, etc.

I'm trialling a subscription to decide if I want to switch to this from Idagio. On the plus side, it's very nice having the videos and being able to watch the concerts in my living room. However, there are several downsides that currently tend towards me not continuing the subscription: 1. Cannot cast audio-only. (Cast fails if the device doesn't support video.) 2. No Android Auto app (so I cannot play in my car) 3. Limited selection. (I really want to listen to Alfred Brendel right now. :-( )
