### 3/5 — Great content; buggy app

*2026-02-06, version 8.0*

Not as consistent as other streaming services.

### 2/5 — Bug sous-titres

*2026-01-19*

L'équipe éditoriale est probablement brillante, mais l'exécution technique de l'application et du visionnage sur le site Médici laissent franchement à désirer : les sous-titres sont souvent défaillants et le spectateur est obligé de désactiver puis réactiver la fonction sous-titres pour retrouver la fonction, ou fermer l'application et la relancer pour pouvoir continuer à suivre. Inutile de dire que cela gâche vraiment la fête... et malheureusement, ce bug n'est pas le seul, notamment pour l'application. Dommage car le catalogue serait séduisant.

### 3/5 — Just let me use english

*2025-12-26*

I’m grateful to your nice gesture of translating, but it’s just the worst. Let me choose the language in settings please.

### 2/5 — Application allergique au français et qui plante sur Apple TV depuis quelques jours

*2025-12-16*

Depuis quelques jours et suite à mon réabonnement l’application plante systématiquement  au bout de quelques minutes de visionnage sur Apple TV (elle semble fonctionner sur iPhone)… la navigation peu fluide oblige de revenir  au début des résultats d’une recherche, l’historique n’est pas idéalement placé  … beaucoup de documentaires ne sont pas sous titrés en français ce qui gonfle artificiellement. Le catalogue … autant dire qu’on est encore très loin de la moyenne … et pour l’anecdote le logo Medici et son fond sonore apparaît systématiquement dès que vous quittez une vidéo pour y revenir ce qui devient franchement agaçant au bout de 5 ou 6 fois de suite !

**Developer response:** Bonjour, 

La traduction en français est prévue dans les prochains mois. 

Bien cordialement,
Romy, Service Client medici.tv

### 4/5 — Needs other subscription options

*2025-10-02, version 7.2*

This is a great app.  Unfortunately, a subscription in Canadian dollars is not available.  If a subscription can’t be available in Canadian currency, I imagine Euros would work fine for us as well.

### 2/5 — Manque de sous titres en français

*2025-09-26*

C’est dommage que certains documentaires et opéras n’est pas les sous-titres en français

**Developer response:** Bonjour,

Nous mettons tout en œuvre pour enrichir nos films avec un maximum de sous-titres en français. 
Si une ou plusieurs vidéos ne contiennent pas de sous-titres en français, veuillez nous indiquer le contenu concerné en nous contactant ici : https://medicitv.zendesk.com/hc/fr/requests/new.
et votre demande sera transmise à notre responsable d'acquisition afin qu'elle puisse en faire la demande aux producteurs.

Bien cordialement,
L'équipe medici.tv

### 4/5 — Edit - iOS Apps Work

*2025-08-20, version 7.1.2*

Technical support helped get the apps working and all is now good.

### 3/5 — Needs other subscription options

*2025-08-12, version 7.1.2*

This is a great app.  Unfortunately, a subscription in Canadian dollars is not available. The exchange rate and banking charges for conversion to USD makes the price too high.   There are other classical music apps offering Canadian subscriptions at lower rates. Sorry Medici but you need to do better if you want more Canadian subscribers.

### 1/5 — Free?

*2025-07-06*

Nothing is free to watch! I signed on, got the app and everything is “Premium”

**Developer response:** Hello, here is the list of free content : https://www.medici.tv/en/collections/free-playlist-new-users

medici.tv does require a subscription to access the whole catalogue. 

Best regards

### 1/5 — casting, my foot

*2025-06-05*

### 1/5 — App still doesn't work

*2025-05-25*

I last wrote a review over a year ago, but the app still doesn't work.  This App Store thinks I have an app installed but I don't!  When I tried installing the app, it still didn't load!  You are not maintaining the app properly--it also is not part of Apple TV+ or my LG TV.  I also cannot use it through Safari.  And I understand AirPlay doesn't work.  At this rate, you will lose customers left and right!  Under no circumstances are you to charge me!

**Developer response:** Hello, 



We are aware of this technical issue and are currently working on it for the next update of the app. 

The landscape mode is unavailable on iPhones but it is when launching a video, by clicking on the bottom right corner of the player. 

Regarding the favorites, we do plan on making them cross-platforms in the next few months.

Romy, medici.tv Customer Service

### 3/5 — Upgrade ?

*2025-04-22, version 6.7*

Unable to” upgrade “” receiving only the short advertisements

### 3/5 — Intermittent

*2025-03-14*

Frequent interruptions of the stream, image quality varies a lot. The catalog is good, nonetheless

### 1/5 — Apple TV App

*2025-03-13, version 6.4*

Too bad there is not a native Apple TV app. AirPlay is buggy for me . I would subscribe is there was one, otherwise a no thanks.

### 1/5 — Still run by elementary school students

*2026-05-22, version 9.0*

Medici TV has promised for years to incorporate favorites on all of the various apps and websites and to have seamless integration. 

This has been promised for over 15 years. 

It still hasn’t happened.

The problem with the title of my review is that it is unfair to elementary school children. They could do a better job than the executives who run Medici TV

Roku TV doesn’t show any favorites – it doesn’t show any at all.  The Roku app continues to be very limited compared to either the Apple app or their website.  Again, Medici promised to fix that years ago and has done nothing.

The Apple TV app only shows a small handful of my favorites.  Once again, medici.tv promised to fix this years ago and they still haven’t done it.

The medici.tv website is no better, because when I try to click on the second page or the next page of my favorites, I immediately get an error message. So even on the website, I can’t access all of my favorites.

Medici staff, when are you losers going to actually honor and live up to all of the promises that you have made to your customers in these comments?

Aren’t you a little embarrassed by this record? 

Or maybe as long as people are dumb enough to pay you figure it doesn’t matter.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional App, bad customer support

*2026-02-05*

I created my account, then needed to change my password. The app would not recognize the new password. I reset again, and the app still would not recognize it. After several days went by with with me locked out and the original purpose I had in mind for the app having passed, I reached out to explain what happened and seek a refund, since I had been totally unable to use the service at any point. The customer service I received was incredibly disappointing and reflected very badly on Medici TV. Needless to say no resolution was reached. Save your money and look for alternative sources to view the performances you’re interested in.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Please contact us by replying to our last email. Indeed, it seems you created several accounts by logging in using different connexion methods, which does not give you access to your subscription.

Best regards,
medici.tv team

### 1/5 — They scam you the second year

*2025-12-25, version 8.0*

The app doesn't always work. Some concert don't load at all unless you quit the app and come back multiple times.  They never fixed their offline download meaning you can't use it while you're traveling. And the worst experience is their renewal policy. They lure you with a good price. By default subscriptions renew automatically and they hike the price in such a nasty way you can't even cancel few seconds after the deadline. This is illegal in some countries.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-12-20, version 8.0*

Not usable

### 1/5 — TheOldAdventurer

*2025-10-12, version 7.3*

I've watched Medici over several years. While its over elaborate app is poorly constructed and not intuitive the quality of its library feed has been excellent...until now as we approach 2026. For example the video quality of their recently loaded Franco Zeffirelli Don Carlo with Luciano Pavarotti is no better than the YouTube of the same 1992 recording. There are many other examples where the Medici engineers have apparently made no effort to secure the original video quality or parameters. Still, if you can stand this poor quality control, most of their library and certainly their live feeds are of the highest quality.

### 1/5 — Fails to load

*2025-10-11, version 7.3*

It tells me that it “failed to load. Please try again later.”  After two months of this my remedy was to delete the app and cancel my subscription. Problem solved.  There was not enough ballet for my liking anyways.

### 1/5 — Search does not work

*2025-10-06, version 7.3*

I try to search for one particular piece of music. I get hundreds of results of works by that composer and that performer

### 1/5 — Dishonest

*2025-09-30*

Charged my card £129 without permission for
a “renewal” without sending any communication beforehand. Then it’s almost impossible to contact their customer service. This is dishonest and feels very “scammy”. Be very careful before sharing your card details with these people.

### 1/5 — Alexander Malofeev piano prodigy

*2025-07-22*

You do not have Alexander’s performances on Medici. Many  pianist enthusiasts believe he, at 23 yo, is the greatest living pianist. Please include him. Given his exceptional musical genius, I assumed he would be on Medici. Other members have contacted you about this matter. I will not be renewing if he is not included in your programs. His absence is why I am giving a one star rating

### 1/5 — iOS Apps Don’t Work

*2025-07-18*

The content itself is good, but be warned that the iOS app may not work at all - I have tested it on both an iPad Mini 5 and an iPhone 13 Mini, in each case running the latest iOS and fresh installs of the app, and the app simply fails to load on either device. As such, the only way I can access the content is in a browser on my PC.

I have reached out to support, as suggested in other comments - I haven’t heard from them for several days now, as their last suggestion that I delete and reinstall the app did not solve the problem.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Could you please contact us again replying to the same email ?
We would be glad to guide you!

### 5/5 — Amazing world of music to explore, enjoy and celebrate

*2026-01-28*

I’ve been exploring and enjoying the amazing world of this classical music app and streaming service. I’ve been watching it through my Apple TV, and the more I watch, the more I want to watch! The breadth, depth and quality of these programs is astonishing, and if you want to explore it, really take time to have a good search through what’s available, because I’m sure you’ll be surprised at just how many concerts and programs there are. There is also a lot of chamber music as well, and these concerts are rapidly becoming my favourites! Opera, concerts, ballet…omg! The artists are world class, and incredible. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Hello, 

Thanks a lot for your kind words. We're so glad you're enjoying medici.tv!

### 5/5 — What a Pleasure

*2025-08-17, version 7.1.2*

Great,serious entertainment. Easy to cast to my tv. Lots of variety. A real pleasure 
.

### 5/5 — Opern

*2025-07-04*

### 5/5 — No more youtube music

*2025-05-23, version 7.0*

I finally was able to change my youtube music subscription for a better option. Medici is just awsome.

### 5/5 — Faulty App

*2024-12-23*

Error message when loading video. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling; it worked for a minute and then went back to not allowing me to load videos. I’m currently watching content through the web browser.

### 5/5 — Broken Links:  Medici App on IOS

*2024-12-08, version 6.1.0*

Great content, very problematic iPad App. Most links to content take me to a “Must See” replays page, not to the content I want to see.  All works as expected using a web browser, but of course a browser UI is clunkier. I’m a long time Medici supporter, sadly there are metadata issues between the iPad App and the Medici content database - which hopefully can be fixed.

### 5/5 — Incredibly broad collection of classical music videos

*2024-12-01*

Really amazing breadth of classical music performances and documentaries.  Much to thrill or simply enjoy or learn.  Highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Hello, 

Thanks a lot for your kind words. We're so glad you're enjoying medici.tv!

### 5/5 — Complet

*2024-05-26*

Bonne application dans sa globalité mais quelques fonctionnalités manquent à mon sens. Pouvoir choisir ses préférences (langues et qualités globales et pas par vidéo), dans la rubrique en cours les vidéos reviennent à 0 et ne reprennent pas là où l’on s’est arrêté (et ne disparaissent pas une fois visionné). La possibilité d’ajouter son compte via la box serait une fonctionnalité supplémentaire appréciable.
 Sinon rien à redire, je savoure l’opéra tous les jours, un plaisir ! Merci

**Developer response:** Bonjour, un grand merci pour votre note. La reprise de lecture ainsi que la traduction de l'application en français sont prévues pour les prochains mois. Merci pour votre patience. Bien cordialement, Romy, Service Client medici.tv
