Well-organized and easy to use, with an interface which feels a bit dated but works. Glad it's working with iOS 9 again! ### 5/5 — A must have App!!!! *2012-07-27* If you like classical music this is a must have app! If you go to any SPCO concert you will love this even more. For a ver 1.0 app it is well designed and have not found any bugs yet. And as a bonus it's FREE!!!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2012-07-16* A treasure trove of recordings of one of my favorite orchestras. Great selection, brief but excellent intro material accompanying each piece. I will be making a donation to the SPCO as a thank you for this great app. ### 5/5 — A MUST for orchestral music lovers *2012-07-13* This library of live recordings is a real treasure. The breadth and depth of recordings available through this app are remarkable. All masterfully played by one of the finest chamber orchestras anywhere. It is especially gratifying to have so many 20th and 21st century composers represented. NOTE: Loading times may be as long as 60 seconds - which many may regard as an eternity! It is nothing really and well worth the perceived wait. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2012-07-13* A great app that includes access to so much wonderful music and the latest concert schedule! ### 5/5 — BRAVO *2012-07-11* This new Classical app is the right one for those who enjoy 1st quality chamber music by the most renowned composers of all time & performed by arguably THE top notch chamber orchestra in the U.S.A Congratulations Fellows ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Excellent site, upgrade and new content needed! *2016-02-10* Wow! iOS 9 was released months ago, and this app is not yet compliant. Content has not been updated for long time. SPCO likes to promote Listening Library, but is unable to keep it current. ### 1/5 — Deleted app *2013-04-13, version 1.1.1* Does not work. Useless. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2012-09-08* It is so frustrating to download an app that you are excited about, only to have it not work. This app will not load the music and begin playing. You would think that things like this would be ironed out, before putting the app in the store!! Please fix. The app has tons of appeal, but if it won't play, it is useless. ### 2/5 — Huge data hog *2017-01-22* Great recordings, but listening for 20 minutes used 500 megs of cellular data. This is not clear in the app description ### 2/5 — Attention *2016-03-18* Worked some time ago,but the last two months I get an error message and says try again back later. I did reinstall the app but no difference . I hope you fix it some time . ### 2/5 — App is still not working *2016-03-05, version 1.3* It is March 5, 2016, and the SPCO app is still not working. Any word when this might change? ### 2/5 — Library unavailable *2012-10-05* This app is fabulous but it almost never works for me. I almost always get an error message that says the library is currently not available. And that's through my home wifi. If someone has suggestions on how to troubleshoot please help! Update: there was a recent update that was supposed to get rid of the library unavailable error, but the app still doesn't work for me. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still no luck. I really wish this could get fixed! ### 3/5 — Network error-please fix! *2015-12-08* This app is one of my favorites but I can't use it any more because of a bug! I still listen on my laptop, but I miss having this beautiful music on my phone too. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work with OS 9 *2015-10-13* I have adored this wonderful app, hearing the terrific music and performances of SPCO. However, it's not working with OS 9, as I keep getting a Network Error message, on both iPhone and iPad. Please fix with an update! I miss it! ### 4/5 — Brad Griffith *2020-05-23* GR8 app! 2 things I would like to see; an Apple TVOS app and an add to calendar link ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Treasure trove *2019-12-10* So amazing that the SPCO puts out video and audio recordings in this app for free! ### 5/5 — Still a great app *2015-11-12, version 1.3* Sadly, this app does not appear to be compatible with the latest iOS. I am able to use it with my iPad still running iOS 7. Another reason for not keeping up with the Apples. Let's hope this app does not fall too far behind, though. Thanks SPCO!!! ### 5/5 — Good stuff. *2015-05-10, version 1.3* Love it. Pretty pretty good. ### 5/5 — Exceeds all expectations *2015-04-13, version 1.3* A surprisingly well-built and feature-rich streaming app! Wow. Big orchestras need to step their game up. I actually use this app, even though many of the (top-notch) recordings are available on spotify. ### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant *2014-12-26* This app is so useful, particularly considering the caliber of this orchestra. The only thing I would change is how, when I’m listening and the screen goes dark, the next piece in my queue won’t load. It’s worth noting that I turned off Cellular Usage, but I wouldn’t expect that to mess with it? It’s a curious thing, so I hope you guys end up reading this :D ### 5/5 — Superb *2014-02-26* Amazing resource, hundreds of works by leading composers. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2014-01-07* A must-have app for any classical music fan. The recordings are suburb, as are the program notes. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Beautiful, intelligent and useful *2013-08-05* SPCO is a treasure in our community and this combined listening/scheduling app is far better than might be expected from an organization that only recently tried to stiff its players, pleading poverty. Let's hope it can help bring out larger audiences for what is sadly an endangered form of culture. I shall be buying tickets using the app to help remind me. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2013-07-09* I really enjoy the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra's app. The pieces are masterfully performed, and I love the ability to make my own playlists--sorry pandora. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — I hear shuffling feet *2013-06-18* This ap stands alonenN.! can hear entire concerts without interruption. The music is a mix f modern and classical.I have yet to be badgered to pay for an upgrade. This should be a pay ap. It works as it should, no problems. I thank the developers for this wonderful ap. 5 star --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
