I’m debating ho many stars to give for an app that is so difficult to use. I decided quality of content rather than presentation is more important. Then I couldn’t even get the “contact us” link to work. I purchase a yrly subscription but neither the website recognizes it when I logged back in. Cleared browser data, restarted phone & nada.
. I’ve rarely had to work so hard to get someone to take my $$. The website menu option such as “my account” doesn’t work. I had a free membership until I realized you could get all the classical music you’d ever want for $80 p/yr ($8 p/mo) as opposed to streaming services with specific Classical content for double the price. That said, the App doesn’t have a “forgot your password link” or “my account” link. You have to go to the website for that & it doesn’t work. I’ve loved Classical music since I was 12yrs old- 5 decades or so ago & started a BA in vocal performance. Life happened, I’ve done other stuff w/those 50 yrs. But I’ve always regretted not learning how music works. I happened upon a guy- most call him Maestro- I think it just goes to his head- who is brilliant and willing to teach. I’m now actively listening for things like key changes in Beethoven’s symphonies (I’m going to do something easier) & listening for specific instruments. CA has play lists for such things. I’ll be able to give up my YT Music ($16 p/mo-yay). So this is exactly what I want. If you’re in the SF Bay Area & are interested in performing w/a semiprofessional symphony orchestra & chorus or finally learning how music works, Google: Golden Gate Symphony Orchestra & Chorus.

Classical Archives best and worst
Classical Archives is my favorite app. It has the best premise and search function of all my apps on my IPhone. I use it a lot. They have improved it over the years. It is now less clunky but still the most clunky of all my commonly used apps. So ironic.
Wonderful app
I loved the website, but the app makes listening far more convenient. Additionally, it provides a terrific selection of performances and an easy way to discover new pieces by both familiar and more obscure composers. For example, one month I decided I wanted to listen to all of Mozart. The way the app is structured, it was easy to do.
