"A good app, that was once an awful app. So they are trending in right direction. I cannot stress how important it is for the arts to have easy to use and creatively stylish apps. As things are now, this app is the only revenue stream that the Met has"

"We don`t have high-speed internet at our house so my elderly parents (who are with us during pandemic) are unable to see the free livestreams. Other services offer time limited downloads which works for us because at our local office, I have high speed internet and can download things to then playback on our TV at home. Please consider this as many folks are in rural areas without high speed internet and can either download slowly or go to a place with high speed internet . Then we can watch later. You can time meter it so folks can`t keep it forever!"

"Content is great (of course) but the streaming is very poor. Either fix the streaming or allow us to download or both. It`s embarrassing."

"Have been using this app for some time but it gets temperamental every few days. It`s either saying your not logged in (which I am) or that ``Unfortunately Met Opera On Demand has stopped``... no explanation and no support. I can cast to my Sony TV via my Android phone or via my Chromecast device, but as I say it is not 100% reliable at best. As of this posting I cant get it to run at all for the past two days. Question: Does the Coronavirus effect Met Opera on Demand? The App appears to be sick. Not worth the $15.99 monthly. They don`t seem to have a problem taking payments from my credit card but they do have a problem delivering the service I`m paying for. I`ll try one more time then cancel my subscription. It`s a shame because the content is exceptional and I enjoy watching the operas in HD over and over again... Time to get on top of your IT people and make them do their job. They are losing customers for you."

"What a wonderful app. Packed to the brim with current and historical video
and audio recordings. I`m glad that I have an unlimited data plan. I can
see myself watching and listening to a lot of the content. Well done the
Met! The only improvement might be a more clearly documented registration
process."

"I cannot vouch this is Opera >on Demand<. Mar 16, 2020 I installed the app on my Chromebook. However, `unprecedented demand` or something is preventing me from watching Carmen tonight. Earlier the Met`s email broadcast about free opera reruns was very enticing and sizzling email. When it all works as advertised, I shall review again."

"Never works right. You may get subtitles, or you may not. Sometimes the pages fully load, sometimes they don`t. I have multiple devices with this app, and it is the most disappointing experience."

"Great content. Buggy performance at times. I wish that I didn`t have to repeatedly login on the phone. Having to rekey password is biggest annoyance."

"Fabulous, in that some opera is available free, but perpetually maddening that despite maybe a dozen ``free preview`` icons, only the first listed video and audio is ever actually available. Buggy, but worth it for the great work made massively available."

"This app does not seem to have Chromecast support, i.e., it`s not Chromecast-enabled to allow for streaming to a television (hooked up to a sound system) without loss of video or audio quality. Who wants to watch an opera on a phone? The Berliner Philharmoniker figured out how to provide this feature for its Digital Concert Hall years ago. I hope the Met adds this very soon. If I`m wrong about this, I apologize."

"The content is great, but the app does not seem to be being maintained (last update 2018), gives warnings when starting on Android 11, and will not let me login anymore (although I can on the web). There are currently nightly free streamed operas, which do stream, but the only way of casting to tv (at least without logging in) seems to be to cast the display, so you can`t use the phone for anything else (a quality problem and also an issue if I`m setting it up for others in the family then wanting to get on with other things). Casting from Chrome on pc with optimisation works but shows subtitles on the pc but not the tv. So not very satisfactory at all. The Met could get some more much needed revenue if they could work with Google and fix all this."

"It would be fantastic if the app could be controlled by the headset, even when the screen is turned off. Just like other audio streaming apps, that allows playback controlling in background."
