Very expensive for what they offer from on mediocre publisher. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2026-08-31* Frequently unresponsive; lags; metadata errors; search by work rather than recording does not work; bookmarks within operas often incorrect or incomplete; subtitles occasionally incomplete; occasional pausing mid-playback ### 4/5 — 오류 여러가지.. *2026-08-22* 다운이 되다말다, 진짜 앱 다운 잦고, 없는 앨범 엄청 많고, 에어팟프로+애플기기로 듣고 있는데 돌비?? 전혀 모르겠고.. ### 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.

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.

Thank you for your patience! Best regards, The STAGE+ Team ### 3/5 — Hat Luft nach oben *2025-12-08* Das Angebot ist gut, die meisten werden sich für die Videos interessieren; mich stört die Navigation und Funktion: • Konzert-Filme können nicht als Ganzes, sondern nur nach Titeln gespeichert werden; entsprechend ist das Löschen umständlich • sehr nervig: die Favoriten werden nicht vollständig angezeigt, nach ca. 10 Titeln endet die Liste (Probe gemacht: die fehlenden Titel sind aber noch als Favoriten markiert) **Developer response:** Sehr geehrte:r STAGE+ Nutzer:in, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Wir schätzen Ihre positive Anmerkung zum Inhalt und bedauern, dass Ihnen die Navigation und Funktion einige Schwierigkeiten bereitet. Navigation & Favoriten: Um alle Inhalte in Ihrer Favoritenliste oder anderen Bereichen zu sehen, tippen Sie bitte auf das ">" Symbol (Pfeil nach rechts) neben dem jeweiligen Abschnitt. Dies öffnet die vollständige Rasteransicht mit allen Titeln. Downloads: Wir verstehen, dass das Löschen von Einzel-Titeln umständlich sein kann. Es gibt eine Funktion, um alle Downloads auf einmal zu löschen, was in einigen Fällen hilfreich sein könnte. Bezüglich des Speicherns ganzer Konzert-Filme als einzelne Datei nehmen wir dies gerne als Verbesserungsvorschlag auf. Für detailliertere Unterstützung, insbesondere zu den Favoriten oder weiteren Fragen, kontaktieren Sie jederzeit unser Support-Team: support@stage-plus.com Wir helfen Ihnen gerne weiter! Das STAGE+ Team ### 2/5 — No Subtitles *2025-07-21* The main reason I purchased Stage+ was to access Rotterdam’s superb Rheingold, which I saw on Medici. The Medici performance had subtitles, but DG tells me their streaming service has no subtitles available for the exact same performance. ### 5/5 — My return to Stage plus *2025-04-09* Unfortunately I stopped my subscription a few years ago because I didn’t have enough time to listen, but now that I have more time I am very happy to return to this website that I consider of great quality. Both audio and video recordings are superb. I also love the fact that I can download a few of them to view offline. Some recordings are historical classics others made recently but all technically impeccable. ### 3/5 — ダウンロードが消える *2025-03-17* ダウンロードしていた映像が全て消えました。2回目です。 コンテンツは良いものがそろっているのにこの仕様の不備は非常に残念です。強く改善を望みます。 ### 2/5 — Un grand désordre. *2025-03-16* Votre site est incompréhensible .on s’y perd. **Developer response:** Dear STAGE+ User, Thank you for your interest in STAGE+. We are sorry to hear that there have been problems using our service. We would be happy if you could contact our support team to discuss this in more detail. You can reach our colleagues at support@stage-plus.com Best regards, The STAGE+ Team ### 3/5 — Overpriced *2025-03-13* With so many free options to stream the fame music $99/year seems very overpriced for what they offer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Para cuando en español *2025-09-20, version 1.12* Soy suscriptor y la plataforma es buena pero para cuando la app vendrá en es español, como en otras de música clásica, y para cuando incluirán subtítulos es español en los vídeos de óperas, de momento son es casos los que se pueden seguir en castellano. Gracias Felepardo ### 1/5 — Garbage App *2025-08-14* Dismal performance from this app. Many concerts in the back catalog fail to load or play on my Apple TV and forget completely about getting Dolby Atmosphere quality sound. Don’t waste your money **Developer response:** Dear STAGE+ user, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience with our app was not smooth. We would like to analyse this in detail and would be happy if you could contact our support team. You can reach our colleagues at support@stage-plus.com Please feel free to add the iOS version you are using to your enquiry, as well as specific details about the use of Dolby Atmos. This information will help us to analyse your request. Kind regards Your STAGE+ Team ### 1/5 — MUY MALA CALIDAD DEL SONIDO. *2025-08-07, version 1.12* LA CALIDAD DEL SONIDO SE RECIBE COMO EN UNA LATA DE CONSERVAS MUY APRETADO EN IPHONE Y AIRPODS DE ÚLTIMO GENERACIÓN. 🙈🙉 ### 1/5 — 解約出来ない *2025-03-19* 料金支払うが無料の場合しか利用できない 契約解除したいがinvoice履歴の表示しかない 解約方法に辿り着けない **Developer response:** レビューをありがとうございます。ヘルプセンターにご連絡いただけましたら、解約のお手伝いをさせていただきます。よろしくお願いします。 ### 1/5 — ダウンロードした曲が消える *2025-03-07* せっかくオフラインで観ようと思ってダウンロードしていても、いざ観ようとしたらデータが消える。消えるのは毎回ではないが、また消えるのでは？と安心できない。 **Developer response:** ご連絡ありがとうございます。不都合が生じてたいへん申し訳ありません。こちら技術的問題については、サポートセンター（support@stage-plus.com）にメールでご連絡ください。どうぞよろしくお願いします。 ### 1/5 — ダウンロードしたコンテンツが消えた！ *2025-03-05* ダウンロードした曲がいつのまにか消えてました！ また、ダウンロードした曲をきいいていて途中でよく止まる。 使いずらいアプリです！ **Developer response:** ご連絡ありがとうございます。不都合が生じてたいへん申し訳ありません。こちら技術的問題については、サポートセンター（support@stage-plus.com）にメールでご連絡ください。どうぞよろしくお願いします。 ### 1/5 — Audio stutters in videos *2025-02-11* So looking forward to this app and so so so so disappointed I am not contacting customer care sort it out!!!! **Developer response:** Dear Sir or Madam, We are very sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with the audio transmission. We would appreciate it if you could kindly contact our technical support as this would help to analyse this in more detail. We can then help you directly.

You can reach our colleagues at support@stage-plus.com Best regards The STAGE+ Team ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 *2026-05-17* Ich möchte mich ganz herzlich für dieses perfekte Programm bedanken. Die Qualität ist sehr gut, ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, sich das mal anzuhören. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für diese wundervolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen die Qualität so gut gefällt und Sie unsere App weiterempfehlen. Genau dafür machen wir das – um Menschen ein besonderes Hörerlebnis zu bieten. Wir wünschen Ihnen weiterhin viel Freude mit der App und bedanken uns herzlich für Ihre Unterstützung! Das STAGE+ Team ### 5/5 — Wealth of choices *2026-01-23* Amazing array of venues, artists and events. It would take years to appreciate all the choices. ### 5/5 — A delightful discovery *2025-09-21* For me,the Apple Vision Pro’s greatest benefit is to experience live music without leaving home. I was so surprised to come across this app and find beautiful music available at no extra cost. Thank you to the creators for making this available. ### 5/5 — Afortunado de la suscripción de verano *2025-08-24, version 1.12* Estoy aprovechando la promoción de verano y como pianista clásico estoy feliz de tener esta maravilla, son dos meses prácticamente gratis que disfrutaré al máximo. Creo que los discos deberían cobrarlos aparte para los que los tenemos ya en Apple music y así crear un plan más económico para los que solo estamos interesados en los videos. ### 5/5 — DG Qualidade de Programação e Som *2025-07-18* Estou surpreso e grato. Finalmente a DG entrou pra valer no serviço de streaming, e nas duas frentes, com som e imagem. DG é qualidade de programação e som, nada menos. Sorte nossa! ### 5/5 — lang + *2025-06-14* Adding Korean to this app shouldn’t be that difficult. Besides, there are plenty of classical musicians in Korea too. ### 5/5 — Tolle Musikplattform *2025-05-05* Bin sehr zufrieden nach Umstieg von Berliner Philharmoniker. Einziger Wunsch: bitte grundsätzlich Kalendereintragungen zu den Konzerten ermöglichen. ### 5/5 — ミュージックの触覚 *2025-04-12* 新しい「ミュージックの触覚」大好き。難聴の人だけのものじゃないよ！ ### 5/5 — Bravo! *2025-04-10* I’m so glad that this app exists. The potential to reach new audiences is terrific. The interface is first-class. My only criticism would be missing subtitles for a few operas - notably Karajan’s Otello and Furtwängler’s Don Giovanni. I hope this can be corrected. Thank you very much for rightly making our classical world more accessible. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
