Put the Orchestra in your pocket! We’ve redesigned the app so it now works on iPhone as well as iPad. There’s a clean new look and feel and we’ve made a load of improvements under the hood. We hope you love this new version as much as we do.

User reviews

Wow!

Eine wirklich tolle App! Was allerdings etwas nervt ist, dass von den 4 Videoansichten nur noch 1-2 angezeigt werden, sobald man zurück zur Startseite geht, um von dort ein anderes Stück auszuwählen. Macht man es in der Videoansicht über den oberen mittigen Pfeil, geht es problemlos, sobald man zurück auf die Startseite geht, öffnen sich nicht mehr alle Perspektiven und man muss die App neu starten, damit es wieder geht.

Gerne eine Lösung dafür :)

Needs updating

I've just opened it again after many years, and it needs fixing: many of the music excerpts are missing one or even two camera angles (the orchestra ones), something must have gone wrong with the source file management. Please fix it, it's still a great app!

Just wonderful that is on the iPhone

It is even better in its original platform the iPad; but having it play in the background during a stressful medical clinic day takes some of the stress away while at my desk at lunch and the end of the day writing notes.

Great app

I think that this is a great app. It works very well on macOS with the exception of some bugs that occasionally happen.

Top Choice

The company that everyone loving symphony should have.
