My one problem with it is that when I cast something to my TV, I have no way of pausing, playing, rewinding, fast forwarding or stopping casting. Even when the app is closed it continues to broadcast, which is helpful but not given the scenario of not having a stop casting button, as whatever I choose to watch continues to play when I turn the TV off. Besides this it’s an amazing app for an avid arts lover. Looking forward to seeing it get better and better as time goes on! ### 4/5 — Good App *2024-10-30, version 6.4.6* Best selection of streaming performing arts. ### 2/5 — Login tines out on iPad *2024-08-11, version 6.4.4* Bot a review on the content - which I'm sure is fine but the app for iPad is impossible to log in to. The wheel just keeps spinning so we had to cancel as my daughter couldn't watch anything. ### 2/5 — Apple TV app very buggy *2024-04-12, version 6.4.2* I really want to like this product but navigation is bad, the app often requires logging in anew, and, as others have noted, sound cannot be sent via Airplay to speakers. Every other music-oriented app can do the latter. Tech support tries to help but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear ### 3/5 — Awesome classical music and opera app *2024-01-27, version 6.4* A fantastic classical music and opera app great to have Such a wide choice but the app. Does not remember were you stopped halfway through a opera or symphony concert a theatre play you have to rewind to the place you stopped at yourself and the audio could be better so the content is good it doesn’t matter wether you pay a monthly subscription or a annual subscription you still have to do the rewinding yourself and the audio should be better so this could be my last year of marquee if doesn’t improve ### 1/5 — Does not work with Homepod *2023-12-25, version 6.4* Needs update to output audio to Homepod ### 1/5 — Not to be trusted with financial information *2023-11-01, version 6.3* I was a subscriber for 4 years. I made the decision to cancel my subscription and close my account, which has to be done by request. I was completely ignored, not hearing back, even after 4 attempted requests, although their policy for closure is 2 days. Money was taken, my account was deactivated, apparently due to non payment. Then they closed all my tickets. Thank goodness I went through Paypal. I was able to suspend payment and recover the monies they had been paid. Mediocre support service but wonderful content, while you are using it, but they control your subscription, and will not let you go if they can help it. ### 1/5 — Poor Apple TV app *2023-10-18, version 6.3* Subtitles do not work on Apple TV app. And customer support only good for sending your messages back to you. ### 1/5 — Opera subtitles don’t work *2023-08-25, version 6.1* The app was not much use as I wanted primarily to watch opera and the subtitles don’t work on the iPad or Apple TV. Support are slow to respond and seemingly uninterested in resolving my issue. ### 3/5 — Captions Too Small *2023-07-25, version 6.1* Do not subscribe to this app if you need to read captions to follow Royal Shakespeare Company productions. The captions are way too small to be read, even on a TV screen, and there is no way to adjust them. When I reported this to Marquee customer support, I was told that the captions were small so they could be “adjusted,” which makes no sense whatsoever. I had to cancel my subscription. ### 1/5 — Impossible to sign up *2023-07-23, version 6.1* Looks good but I never receive the sign up confirmation ### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription *2023-07-16, version 6.1* I’ve tried to cancel my subscription, but I can’t log in to my account, it just says I have to change my password, but I can’t as it keeps saying the sever isn’t found. ### 1/5 — Grade C- *2023-07-06, version 6.1* Marquee’s catalog is small, the rate at which they acquire new material glacial, and their app primitive. My interests are broad, but I’ve nonetheless exhausted their offerings after only a few months. The app is annoying, lacking any of the niceties of other video players. The quality of the materials is wildly inconsistent, and I’ve often found better productions in higher quality on YouTube for free. While there’s certainly content worth watching and the app is serviceable, none of it justifies the current subscription price. ### 3/5 — Several issues *2022-10-19, version 4.9* App has many issues. Will not cast productions to Apple TV. Freezes and never loads once connected. When you download operas to watch offline, there’s no way to access subtitles. Also, when streaming from the Apple TV app, there is no way to transfer the sound to another device. You can select an alternate option like HomePod or AirPods but it will default back to the tv sound system. All of these things make the app practically useless unless you want to simply watch on your iPad or phone. ### 1/5 — SCAMMERS *2022-09-20, version 4.8* do not download this app. cancellation will be a problem. i cancelled my subscription since april and 5 months after, they are still charging my credit card ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT SIGN UP *2026-02-25, version 6.5.6* Do not sign up for this service. They lure you in with a discount and will then give you a false discounted amount to be billed the next month and then you will be charged the FULL price and then will say it’s your fault for not cancelling in time. LIARS. THIEVES. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-02-12, version 6.5.6* Unable to play or download on my iPad. Pointless hype. ### 1/5 — Nothing works on macOS!!! *2025-11-07, version 6.5.1* This app is worse than useless. I rarely submit reviews, But this is so BAD, I just had to chime in. If I try to watch normally, subtitles won’t appear. When I trick it into playing a different way, I’ll get subtitles, BUT THE VIDEO DISPLAYS AND PLAYS SIDEWAYS!! Not joking. I’ve NEVER sen anything like it. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but still doesn’t work. I’m very disappointed. I just paid for a year’s subscription, and not able to watch on any of my macOS devices. Oh, and clicking ANY button works maybe 5% of the time. Seriously. ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-09-24, version 6.5.0* Does not cast to tv. Takes a very long time. Subtitles do not match what’s being said. Tried to cancel and it took way too long. That’s what I don’t like about these apps, easy to sign up, not easy to cancel. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-06-27, version 6.4.9* Will not cast to my TV despite resets. Systems are running at required updates and yet it will not work. ### 1/5 — Afraid to mention the price? *2025-05-25, version 6.4.8* You expect me to agree to an LG TV monthly subscription without telling me the price? No way! And I'm not sure if I can enable English subtitles with operas. Fix these things and I may subscribe. Also fix the iPhone app. ### 1/5 — Immortal *2025-03-31, version 6.4.7* I was watching a program and the guy grabbed the sword and jerked it off with his mouth open. Im no longer interested. ### 1/5 — App never works *2025-02-09, version 6.4.6* Renewed in November & app rarely works. Weekends is when I want to watch & no help desk response. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Great source library, but poor app *2024-10-10, version 6.4.5* I’m a little confused by the reviews that praise this app. It’s certainly true that the source library is awesome. But the app is flaky. On Apple TV it hardly responds correctly to the controller queues and accessing content can be a real chore. Also, this app doesn’t seem to communicate with Apple TV very well, and account modification really requires communicating via your web browser. (So, definitely not a stand-alone product.) ### 1/5 — Subscription renewal *2024-01-03, version 6.4* I subscribed a couple of years ago but stopped using the service after a while. Recently they’ve taken payment from my bank as an auto renewal but without sending me a reminder or advising that the price had increased. They refuse to refund me after I told them I didn’t want to renew. To make matters worse I’ve logged in for the first time in a year and can’t view any content. It seems I have no active subscription according to the app. I’m getting no response fro customer support. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — POS app operated by elementary school students *2026-05-22, version 6.5.7* I signed up for this service and paid for the first month through Apple. I was unable to login, and when I complained to the app developers, they said they had no record that I had subscribed or paid. They are so incompetent that they can’t even sync up with Apple on Subscriptions. Before you pay these losers, look carefully at what they’re offering. They actually offer very little in any given category. This is a smorgasbord of a few classical performances, a few opera performances, a few drama performances, and some ballet thrown in for good measure. Oh yes, they even offer Shakespeare. But in each category, they actually offer very little. If you’re interest in opera, you should instead subscribe to the Metropolitan opera service or Medici TV. If you’re interested is classical music, subscribe to the digital concert hall of the Berlin Philharmonic and Medici TV. Both are far superior to this elementary school operation that is so bogus that after you pay for it, they don’t even know that you have done so ### 5/5 — Entertainment *2026-05-10, version 6.5.7* Best ### 5/5 — Immortal *2025-09-26, version 6.5.0* The app got stuck in landscape mode and I can’t get it to work. So I was unable to enjoy the content. I feel ripped off, I won’t renew. ### 5/5 — IOS Update breaks the App *2024-09-17, version 6.4.5* There have been betas galore of the new IOS (Operating system).. is it really too much to expect the people at Marquee who take our money to have tested their App against the new system..? Fix it! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-10-02, version 4.9* One of the best streaming services I’ve ever used. The app interface is a little clunky, esp the way it loads as you scroll, but the design is nice and wow the content. ### 5/5 — Thank you, *2022-08-13, version 4.8* Equate window into some of the best live cultural performances. The mix is wonderful including contemporary dance classical opera and everything in between. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2022-05-24, version 4.8* I joined Marquee temporarily to see the Nutcracker and was amazed at all of the great performances. Just about any Shakespeare play ever written and all of the great operas, ballets and classical performances are available in high definition. Bach's St John’s Passion was so moving the way it was photographed and Carmen filmed in the Sydney Harbor made me feel like I was there. Thanks for creating something that’s been missing way too long. Now anyone can enjoy the arts at a reasonable price. ### 5/5 — Love Marquee! *2021-07-20, version 4.5* I have subscribed for a few years. I like using it on multiple platforms - e.g., tablet for cardio workouts, roku for an evening’s viewing. Marquee especially helped during the pandemic while we were cut off from live performances! ### 5/5 — LOVE THE CONTENT!! *2021-05-02, version 4.3* Amazing content, but everytime i press play the app shuts down. I want to see something😫 I’ll still leave the 5 stars because the content is wonderful! ### 5/5 — Los amo *2021-04-02, version 4.3* Muy buena aplicación. Muy padre. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
