They deserve all the credit and currently are treated like sub notes on the otherwise excellent content

improve the info and bio on the recordings and artists that you showcase.

I like to stream audio recordings when I drive and every time my car goes through the poor or no signal area I have interruptions that I hate.
Met opera on demand Offline#
please provide the ability to download streams and audio recordings for offline use. Ideally you should provide an uncompressed sound for ultimate experience. Operas are ultimate sound test and I know how good opera can sound if you have the right equipment. At home I use very good sound equipment and it is obvious that the sound used in even HD streams is very compressed. Unfortunately the app is very buggy and I hope developer is working on improving it to meet the quality of the content presented.
Met opera on demand full#
I love met operas and this app delivers full catalogue that is pure delight to watch. Very worth the subscription prices, monthly or yearly.

The sample makes you want to sign up right away. I should say more about how wonderful it is to have access to these recordings on the iPad, but I hope the prospective subscriber can imagine, or maybe has seen the HD screenings in theaters. Wouldn't it be better to be able to watch and listen to all your favorite arias one after another?Ĭontent: absolutely great. That's no better than just knowing which operas you like. Example: the user can add a favorite to the favorites list, but it is not the aria or track that is added, but the entire opera. I wonder how many phone calls the help desk gets to reset passwords. The sample clips will show you whether your bandwidth is adequate. We subscribed to cable Internet just to use this app, and it works. a cable internet connection through wifi DSL is not enough. Nevertheless, they should seriously consider a shake-up among their contracted app developers. We are sympathetic to the Met during this difficult financial time for the performing arts. I would advise people not to invest the money if you are counting on this app to work with an iPad, especially if it is an older model. Fortunately we can still use the app with our smart TV. This is IOS we’re talking about for Pete’s sake. You can’t simply ignore customers who have lost the ability to use what they have paid for on your so-called supported platforms. I expect full functionality from the app. But this is a newer model - iPad Air Wi-Fi running the latest OS (I updated as a troubleshooting measure, to no avail). I get that older technology becomes outdated and stops running some apps. Tech support kept telling us they knew about a bug and that it had been fixed. We already bought a new iPad because the app was crashing on our old one. Unfortunately, the app on our iPad has started crashing every time it’s opened. My dad is a lifelong opera fan, and he is happy as a clam watching or listening to great opera every night. There are a great many performances available, going back quite a long time, and including both HD and SD content, with lots of new content. Peter Mattei in the title role of Mozart's "Don Giovanni."
