Please update. ### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP *2017-12-16, version 1.5* I love this app and concert, please update it. If it’s not updated how about releasing the entire concert on BluRay! ### 4/5 — 素晴らしすぎる！！ *2014-09-27, version 1.3.6* stingのファンなら絶対入れるべきアプリです。 今までのstingの活動についてや、楽曲の視聴、画像やインタビュー映像も見る事が出来ます。 （もちろん英語です。字幕ナシ） 何より、60歳のバースデーライヴの模様がHDクオリティーの映像で 見る事ができるばかりか、ダウンロードまで無料でできます。 from getting to iOS8, there is a problem with the image display of some. I am waiting for the update. ### 3/5 — 60th Birthday videos great, rest dissapointing *2014-02-15, version 1.3.6* As a fellow Englishman as Sting, just love him...but he's been robbed. For the purported $1 million he spent for developing this App. it does not deliver. Great video for the 60th but after that it's not intuitive and you can't download any of the songs as indicated. You have to hit 'Buy Album' which takes you to iTunes and then you can buy. Defeats the object a bit I think. Shame. Still love his music though and the 60th birthday videos are worth the download alone. Brilliant. ### 3/5 — Great content, poor stability *2013-04-17, version 1.3.4* This is a must-see for Sting fans; chocked full of wonderful content. However, it is not stable and will freeze, making you force-quit. Be warned - do not touch the download icon in the top right corner or the app will stop responding. Hopefully an update will be on the way soon. ### 4/5 — Most have for any sting fan *2013-04-13, version 1.3.4* The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the fact that it can freeze from time to time. Great background on Mr. Summers. Love it. ### 5/5 — Sting *2012-11-15, version 1.3.4* Bravo Sting! Graci Chevy! ### 5/5 — Wow *2012-09-29, version 1.3.4* This is fantastic - some really great performances in there ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2012-09-08, version 1.3.3* Marvelous app, all The Photoshop, vídeos on streaming, music and the best thing is the videos on full hd of The Sting's 60th birthday! Just great! ### 3/5 — Concert videos DON *2012-08-09, version 1.3* Whatever did you guys do. The concert videos don't work after the last update. I have the original iPad and it worked perfectly well until this last upgrade. I know the App is free and appreciate the gift but now you took it away. Please fix this. John ### 5/5 — gorgeous app. *2012-07-24, version 1.3* a real pleasure to use, and it serves the legacy of sting perfectly. Thanks. ### 3/5 — 60th birthday downloads don't play after update *2012-07-20, version 1.3* None of the 60th birthday downloads work after updating app to newest version. I even deleted the existing downloaded songs and re downloaded them. Still does not work. I then deleted the app, did a fresh install, then downloaded the songs again. This didn't work either. Please fix ASAP! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2012-07-18, version 1.3* Excellent concept, I love the performance but every time I want to watch the concert the app crashes, hope there's a fix. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2012-07-17* Sorry to be the first person to complain but the app crashes when I try to watch the downloaded videos. Please can this be resolved, otherwise the app is wonderful. Thank you ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Updates seem to have broken playback of concert performances *2025-11-24, version 1.6* See the title. The app is broken. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2021-12-05, version 1.6* I can’t access the concert footage to the birthday segment. Can you please fix this issue? ### 1/5 — I was excited to watch this but unfortunately *2020-08-23, version 1.6* It completely ignores and, disables accessibility voice-over, sorry bad choice of words, but as a vision impaired person, I couldn’t access anything on it without a sighted person to help, sorry sting and Apple ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-09-01* Looking forward to a fix. ### 1/5 — iOS 11 *2017-11-04, version 1.5* Will someone be updating this app? ### 1/5 — iOS 11 *2017-11-02, version 1.5* Any chance this will get updated for iOS 11? As a fan, this is like having one of my keepsake concert programs suddenly disappear. ### 1/5 — Sting sixtieth *2012-01-23, version 1.2* Errrrg... Bugs... Too bad, too... Must have been a ridiculous show... I have to agree with Spaulding... Can't see the concert clip, just drops me on a menu screen ### 1/5 — What has happened ????? *2012-01-04* You know the feeing you have when you download an app but it takes FOREVER, but when it's done you really like it, cos it's soooo enjoyable, it's smooth, no glitches ....and then you have an update and you think 'should I, cos the last time it took FOREVER' but you go ahead and it takes FOREVER to download, and then you play it......and the videos start/stop/start/stop and you click on the video of Sting's 60th, that was previously soooo smooth and enjoyable....but now when you click on 'continue on iPad' and it closes back to the app icon....... Well that's how I feel. Loads of space on the iPad. V Good signal and nada, nothing. A classic example of how to take a brilliant product and turn it into rubbish! ### 1/5 — No Sound *2011-12-07, version 1.0.2* No sound with this App. What is up with that? ### 1/5 — No sound & slow loading *2011-12-07, version 1.0.2* This app took forever to load. Looks like it will play ok but no sound. I was really looking forward to checking it out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2023-06-10* Thanks for updating the app and making it all work again. That was the only reason I bought an iPad way back when. The best part is that now it’s in the iPhone as well. Bravo. Keep it up!! ### 5/5 — App is cool *2019-10-08, version 1.6* Some of these reviews say the app wasn’t updated for a while but it works fine for me! Super cool timeline of Sting’s career with tons of video and photos. I think it’s awesome. ### 5/5 — Dope App *2019-10-03, version 1.6* I’m a huge fan of Sting’s music so this app is super cool cause you get very personal peek into Sting’s life and performances. If you love Sting, download this app! ### 5/5 — PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP! I’m having withdrawal symptoms! *2018-01-29, version 1.5* I bought an iPad JUST for THIS app, & recently bought a NEW iPad mini - just to make this app more portable. I’ve used this app for relaxation therapy for so long - I’m having withdrawal symptoms! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE update it for iPad - or any device! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Please update *2018-01-09, version 1.5* Best app ever. Miss it so much. ### 5/5 — Longing *2017-08-03, version 1.5* for update to support iOS 11+.

Live concert from NYC included, which is a pure joy to watch/listen…. This App is stable and definitely works well on latest iPad Pro with iOS 10.2. ***Developer RadicalMedia - Please keep this app up to date and alive for years to come.*** Thank you STING.
