The heartbreak of cutting off the afternoons question and answers is a terrible loss as those are often the most normative times. Is there a reason for doing that? ### 5/5 — CHQ Assembly *2021-08-28, version 6.320.1* I am very pleased with your streaming performance. It is much improved over last season. I have seen 40+ events. Thank you so much for the portal. I would certainly be willing to pay more for it. Hopefully, next season will be contagion-free. Rollin Tarter, Danville, KY ### 5/5 — CHQ Assembly *2021-07-16, version 6.320.1* I love being able to be part of the Chautauqua experience even when I’m not there. Being able to listen to lectures and entertainment year round is a privilege. This summer,I will be on the grounds for two weeks, but will enjoy the entire 9 week summer session from home. Thank you CHQ Institute for making this happen! ### 5/5 — You Are There *2021-07-16, version 6.320.1* I live in Las Vegas now and I won’t be able to make it to the lake this year, so the CHQ app lets me visit the grounds every morning. As always, some speakers are better than others, but I’m right in the Amp there with you. And that makes me very happy. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Missing Chautauqua *2021-05-17, version 6.300.1* Thankful that live streaming started last year. Sitting on my porch is not the same, but thankful. ### 5/5 — Richard Rohr, Jon Meachem *2020-11-08, version 6.020.1* Outstanding!! ### 5/5 — Next year in Chautauqua *2020-11-01, version 6.020.1* What a treat and it’s a bargain. We have always talked about how to explain Chautauqua to those who have never been there. The assembly does that. Great job. ### 5/5 — Amazing app for the assembly *2020-08-30, version 5.800.1* Chautauqua has done an amazing job getting their content on line ! Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Exception Venue for Dialogue, Listening and Learning *2020-08-10, version 5.800.1* This season, Chautauqua Institution has overcome a major barrier to its traditional on-campus programming — the Pandemic required social distancing and quarantining. Chautauqua has ably transitioned to online virtualized season presentation formats in the sciences, music, religion, literature, theater. Yes, in person is better, but the excellence of the on-line programing is transcendental and we can see real time improvements in the media formats used from day-to-day. I highly recommend participation in either real-time or streaming. ### 5/5 — Online experience *2020-07-31, version 5.800.1* Thank you so much for creatively and boldly adapting to this new world! I have heard about Chautauqua for along time but never been able to get the time or money to go. It is such a blessing to be included in such rarified air! ### 5/5 — Fantastic we experience, resource and service to lifetime committed CHQ’s *2020-07-19, version 5.800.1* Couldn’t have done a better job in these difficult days!!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful that Chautauqua has put this “season” together in such a short time. *2020-07-17, version 5.800.1* Congratulations, Chautauqua! Even with a few “glitches”, it is amazing to be able to have a virtual Chautauqua season. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 1/5 — Not like last year! *2022-07-12, version 7.601.1* We are interested in the performing arts content on this app. Unfortunately there has been only one Chautauqua Symphony (CSO)concert as of this date and they haven’t been showing any of the Music School Festival Orchestra (MSFO) concerts. I must assume that all the MSFO concerts, chamber music recitals, and master classes will not be videoed for the app. What am I paying for? The description about the app lead to believe all these things would be included. I am not interested in the lecture content. Very “clunky” app also. Not many features for the brain power at Chautauqua Institution! ### 1/5 — Boo *2021-07-17, version 6.320.1* Can’t get rid of it. ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2020-06-29, version 5.800.1* It would be nice if all events were connected to your calendar with the correct time. I’ve already missed 3 events. I’m waiting on a fourth that’s scheduled for 3pm, 2pm my time and there is no indication that it is coming on. ### 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. W. J. Roberts Season 2022 ### 3/5 — Chautauqua Assembly *2021-07-27, version 6.320.1* Generally good means to view a variety of speakers, services, concerts. Many are only able to be viewed live. Very few conservative viewpoints expressed. Ability to view recorded after live event should be stated on the website and in automatic reminder emails. Small choir sounds very poorly during amp worship services. How to present choral singing really needs to be looked at. Organ sounds great. Suggest use of overhead camera on organ not just view of Josh’s back. Thank you for trying to go digital. ### 3/5 — Technical issues *2020-07-16, version 5.800.1* The lectures really need to start on time. If there are delays or postponements you have lost me. ### 3/5 — Love CHQ but the app needs work! *2020-07-15, version 5.800.1* I know that it takes time to work out the bugs, but it’s been frustrating when the app goes out in the middle of the morning lecture. And it’s hard to find my way back to lectures if I’ve missed them live. But thanks for all your work to make it better. I’m so sad to miss being there this summer, and being on line has helped make up for it. ### 3/5 — I’m confused *2020-07-01, version 5.800.1* I’m at a loss in trying to figure out how to use this app. There seems to be no semblance of a schedule that I can reference for the sequence of the programs. Maybe I shouldn’t be looking at the programs in terms of when it is being offered. In prior years, I checked out the Daily and made my choices. Should I just assume everything is going to be available anytime I want to see it all summer? ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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!! ### 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. ### 5/5 — CHQ Assembly has scratched an itch *2022-07-24, version 7.601.1* Since we haven't been able to visit Chautauqua for the last several years, we really missed being there. Well, we're still not able to travel, but we have been able to enjoy our virtual visits. The best $50 we've spent in a long time! ### 5/5 — Assembly app *2022-07-20, version 7.601.1* Fabulous innovation increasing your audience awareness and participation in exploring though issues that unite and separate us as a country & our geopolitical responsibility in this global cosmos that we breathe and dance in! ### 5/5 — An on-site Ted Talk from a century-old American tradition *2022-07-11, version 7.601.1* Phenomenal sharing of ideas from top culture-leaders. The best thing since the Boulder year-round Chautauqua. Much more affordable than paying the gate/parking fees.I don’t like the fact that there are time limits on accessing the lectures/performances though. If only this technology were available to Boulder, that would be the best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
