### 1/5 — Many concerts fail to play on Apple TV… favorites not working right… concert icons have the “jitters

*2026-08-16*

Many selections/concerts fail to load or even play… also, when browsing through selections, the lines of thumbnail photos jitter badly and jump up and down on screen… selection of favorites not working right… I can only mark individual movements/songs as favorites, not the entire concerts from which they are drawn… this app is an embarrassment for DG… DG perennially promises to issue fixes but the sad reality is that this remains a largely broken app…

**Developer response:** Dear STAGE+ User,

We’re very sorry to hear about these issues and that your experience with the STAGE+ app has not been flawless. This is certainly not the experience we want you to have.

Please contact our support team at support@stage-plus.com so we can look into these issues in detail. 

When contacting us, please also include your Apple TV model and the tvOS version you are currently using. This information will help our team investigate the problems more effectively.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we hope we can get these issues resolved for you.

Best regards,
The STAGE+ Team

### 2/5 — Great catalog, infuriating experience

*2026-08-03*

The catalog of available music is great, and the quality of streaming is also very good. However, the app, when paused for a while and sent to the background, forgets what you were playing and returns you to the main menu.  Furthermore,  if you go to My Stage+ “recently played”, what you just played is not there.

I’m not sure if this is only a problem on the iOS version of the app, but it is incredibly annoying.  Please fix this!

**Developer response:** Dear User,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and for your kind words regarding our catalogue and streaming quality. We are truly pleased to hear that these aspects of STAGE+ meet your expectations.

We sincerely regret the inconvenience you have experienced with the app behavior. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.

To assist you more effectively and conduct a thorough analysis of the issue, we kindly ask you to contact our support team directly at support@stage-plus.com. If possible, please include details such as your device model, iOS version, and app version, as this will help us investigate the matter more precisely.

We greatly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the STAGE+ experience for all users. 

Sincerely,
The STAGE+ Team

### 5/5 — Excellent content, annoying experience

*2026-06-13*

This app would honestly be excellent except for one thing. At least once a day, the app makes me sign back in to my account. When this happens, everything I’ve downloaded gets deleted, so there’s really no point in downloading to begin with. On top of that, if I was in the middle of a video, logging back in causes the app to forget my progress in said video. It’s very annoying to have to find where I was in a three hour opera because the app did “the thing” again. If this could be rectified, it would absolutely be a 5 star rating for me as the content itself is superb.

**Developer response:** Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your honest feedback, and we’re really sorry for the frustration this caused. We understand how annoying it must have been to be signed out, lose downloads, and have your video progress reset — especially during a long opera.

The good news is that this issue has been resolved in our latest app update. Please update to the newest version when you can, and everything should work as expected again.

We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying the content itself. If the update solves the issue for you, we’d be very grateful if you would consider updating your rating. Thank you again for helping us improve the app.

Best regards,
The STAGE+ Team

### 5/5 — Perfekt

### 2/5 — playing stops suddenly

*2026-04-10*

please fix this issue!

**Developer response:** Dear STAGE+ user,

Thanks for your feedback—we’re sorry to hear about the playback issue, that’s definitely not the experience we want for you.

Please reach out to us at support@stage-plus.com with a few details about your device and when this happens. Our team would be happy to take a closer look and help get things running smoothly again.

Best regards,
The STAGE+ Team

### 1/5 — Titel werden leider nicht lange gespeichert

*2026-02-28*

Leider werden Alben, die man als Favoriten markiert, in der Regel nicht gespeichert, so dass man sie ständig neu suchen und abspeichern muss. Ich kenne keine Musik App, die so schlecht funktioniert. Ansonsten ist die App sehr sehr schön gemacht und es sind tolle Alben zu finden, die man leider nicht wirklich speichern kann.

**Developer response:** Sehr geehrte:r STAGE+ Nutzer:in,

Es tut uns sehr leid zu hören, dass es Probleme beim Speichern Ihrer Favoriten gibt – das sollte natürlich nicht passieren und entspricht nicht unserem Anspruch.

Bitte kontaktieren Sie gerne unseren Support unter support@stage-plus.com, damit wir das im Detail prüfen und Ihnen schnellstmöglich weiterhelfen können. Idealerweise teilen Sie uns dabei auch mit, welches Gerät und welche App-Version Sie verwenden.

Vielen Dank auch für Ihr positives Feedback zum Design und zur Album-Auswahl – das freut uns sehr. Wir hoffen, dass wir das technische Problem bald für Sie lösen können.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Das STAGE+ Team

### 3/5 — 検索

*2026-02-13*

曖昧検索ができず、やりにくいです。

### 5/5 — Wealth of choices

*2026-01-23*

Amazing array of venues, artists and events.  It would take years to appreciate all the choices.

### 4/5 — 재생이 너무 안되요

*2026-01-03*

재생이 너무 안되고, 되다 끊기고… 매달 돈 내고 있는데 서비스 이것밖에 안되나요?

**Developer response:** Dear Sir or Madam,

We are truly sorry for the playback issues you've been experiencing. We understand how frustrating it is to deal with buffering and interruptions, especially as a subscriber. We want to resolve this for you as quickly as possible—please contact our support team at support@stage-plus.com so we can investigate your specific account and device settings.

Best regards,
The STAGE+ Team

### 2/5 — Wouldn't load

*2025-12-20*

It didn't recognize my login I think in the app even though I logged out and logged back in and wouldn't load any music, so I searched for the title in my YouTube music instead. Happened multiple times now

**Developer response:** Dear STAGE+ User,

We are really sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing these login and loading issues. That is certainly not the experience we want you to have!

We would like to take a deeper look into this and get it resolved for you. To help our team investigate, could you please contact us at support@stage-plus.com with the following details?

- Device Model (e.g., iPhone 15, iPad Pro)
- Operating System Version (e.g., iOS 17.4)
- App Version installed

Our support team is ready to help get your music loading correctly again. Thank you for your patience!

Best regards,
