Reviews for Met Opera on Demand
The Best Kind of Guy
Terrible, no good, very bad app
This app truly sucks. It doesn’t Ave your progress. Want to watch 2 hours of Das Rehingold? Good luck finding your place when you come back. Favorites? You can save them, but who knows if your list will show up when you come back to the app. Search features are terrible and counter intuitive. The operas are amazing, the app is worthless. And it costs as much as my Amazon prime subscription. The Metropolitan Opera needs to fix this app. People have been complaining for years. It isn’t much better than when I started streaming their operas in 2006.

Content Great. App SUUUUUUCKS!
It genuinely blows my mind that the greatest Opera House in the world, in my opinion, has had an app for over a decade and a half that doesn’t even pretend to work on any kind of consistent level. I probably cancel my subscription every couple of months and wait several years before downloading this app again. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to watch all of your favorite operas with your favorite singers with an outstanding Orchestra and all of this design be literally impossible to view because of how poorly the app is run. There is no excuse for this. We’ve had streaming services for almost 20 years now and people like the Berlin Philharmonic, Medici, in the Royal Opera House don’t have these kinds of problems whatsoever. I wish I could say that I might as well flip a coin but that assumes that the app even works half the time. Why is it that even videos downloaded for off-line usage don’t work? It’s genuinely embarrassing to the point that I would have thought that at some point over the last 15 years somebody somewhere in some data area would spend. The two weeks that it would take to basically start from scratch. But alas, here we are. I’m running out of space to write, but this app just angers me so much. The content is so good, why can’t I freaking see it?
