### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2022-09-05, version 7.620.1*

I love being able to watch and listen to speakers and events that I couldn't attend in person - and re-live events that I could. This app also kept me sane and connected to Chautauqua during the depths of the pandemic.

### 4/5 — Connection .

*2022-08-31, version 7.620.1*

For 20 plus years ,I have had the joy of experiencing a season at chautauqua. Nothing could be better.When I was introduced the first time,I described it as heaven on earth. The Chautauqua Assembly has helped me through the Covid 19 months ,enabling me to have faith that the modernization that is being used will enable the chautauqua experience to be available far and wide. I gave up one star because to be in person at chautauqua gets the 5 stars. Gratefully,Meg Lay.

### 5/5 — Keep the learning coming!

*2022-08-29, version 7.620.1*

So wonderful to be able to enjoy the programming even after we had to return home! App works well, but does sometimes take a while to load a past program.  Worth it!!

### 3/5 — Nits and such

*2022-08-19, version 7.620.1*

1.  Too hard to find presentations.

2.  Each presentation ought to have a short, printable, abstract.

3.  Each presentation, including Q & A, should have a printable copy of the spoken words… i.e.: formatted and properly spelled captions.

4.  Graphics used by presenters ought to be presented at the appropriate spot in the presentation.

5.  Everything should be downloadable and able to be distributed by authorized content purchasers.

### 1/5 — Locked out

*2022-08-15, version 7.620.1*

I bought the subscription. I have the app. I’ve been watching interesting presentations. Suddenly hoping to see Raskin, I’m locked out with incomprehensible instructions about making sure I’m signed in on my web browser. 

What the heck!

### 5/5 — The heart

*2022-08-13, version 7.620.1*

Dr. Sandeep Jauhar spoke eloquently about the heart. He helped me understand a lot of things about my own heart condition which I had not understood before, mainly, the emotional connection to the physical illness. I listened to him talk and all these pieces fell into place and I have a calmness I have not had for 20 years.
This is just one of the many incredibly positive experiences I’ve had listening to the Premier quality speakers who are drawn to Chautauqua.
This season, with an ever expanding belief on the part of those who run Chautauqua that the institution needs and wants to be available to as many people as possible, is so encouraging to me and says so much about the quality of the decision makers at Chautauqua.
I am personally incredibly grateful. I am a friend of Jim and Judy Moffitt and it is they who first introduced me to Chautauqua two or three decades ago but I have never before been able to virtually join so many of the programs available and learn and be comforted and guided by all the information that previously has been available to only the people at Chautauqua. Bless the decision makers for the emphasis on diversity and the way those of us who are not physically present are being included.
Most gratefully, Susan Rau Stocker

### 5/5 — Enjoy every event!!

*2022-08-12, version 7.620.1*

I leave each event with information, and appreciation for your Institution.

### 5/5 — A community for those who cannot learn enough.

*2022-08-05, version 7.601.1*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Belonging from afar!

*2022-08-04, version 7.601.1*

I recently joined Assembly because I was interested in hearing Katherine May’s presentation on August 5. 

I found there was a plethora of other lectures and presentations that I could tap into all the way from my home in Wisconsin. 

Looking forward to being a part of Chautauqua from afar.

### 5/5 — Chautauqua from afar

*2022-07-24, version 7.601.1*

Thank you for Chautauqua Assembly. I have access to one of my favorite places on earth, even when I cannot be there in person.  Chautauqua continues to challenge me with world renowned speakers and preachers.
