    Miles V summed it up well!
  • Why Not Web / Mac Version?

    I love the idea of the app but I need one music app that I can use both on my computer and my phone. I only listen to classical music so this is great except only my phone. I have high end headphones that plug into my computer. I suspect most classical music listeners don’t use airpods!! Is it too much to ask for one app on web / mac and phone??

    Nice, purpose-built app for classical music. I love how the browse section is divided into categories for composers, periods, etc. Additionally, I appreciate the aggregated list of works for each composer, the editor’s picks, etc. The multitude of playlists for seemingly everything are also wonderful. My biggest complaint is the lack of a shuffle option for playlists. It would be great if that can be added in a future update.
  • Amazing

  • Apple Hates Classical Music Fans

    1
    By Nick___M
    This application represents pure contempt for fans of classical music. After abusing its market power several years ago to acquire Primephonic, a wonderful classical music service that worked with an array of hifi streaming technologies, Apple killed the service and deprived the classical music world of a decent streaming option. After offering no application for over 18 months, Apple released this incredibly weak replacement. Where are complete liner notes, Apple? Why is your search capability more limited than Primephonic’s was? Where are downloads? Why can’t I create an ad-hoc queue without creating a playlist? Why did it take a year and a half to see an iPad app? Why buy a service you don’t care about and won’t invest in? This is a disgusting insult. Shame on you, Apple.
  • Horrendous AI portraits

    This is generally a great app but it is marred by the awful and increasingly use of AI portraits of composers of the past. Please stop it!!!

    I’ve listened to classical music occasionally while studying in college but never to the depth that this app is pulling me in. I love the booklets attached to each performance that provides depth to the music as you read along and listen. I’m now starting to understand why people who are into classical are so passionate about it. 10/10
  • Needs a Shuffle Feature

    By Your_Average_Human
    Its 2024. Do I as the consumer really have to tell you to add a shuffle feature for music? I don’t care about your “Apple terminology” of belief. Give me the full music experience
  • Keeps acting up

    The app keeps pausing and skipping music for no reason, or not working altogether today!
