Review summary

Users praise STAGE+ for its vast, growing library and top-tier audio/video experience, especially the 4K videos and Dolby Atmos, which make home listening feel immersive across Apple TV and Vision Pro. However, recurring issues include app stability and crashes, uneven Atmos performance, missing offline downloads, and limited casting/device support (no Chromecast/Roku/CarPlay). Several reviewers also question the price relative to the catalog, suggesting it’s pricey for what’s offered. Overall, the app delivers strong quality and breadth but needs reliability, broader platform support, offline access, and consistent Atmos delivery to maximize value.
Pros
  • Extensive library of venues, artists, and events with ongoing growth.
  • High-quality audio and video, including lossless streaming, Dolby Atmos, and 4K video.
  • Immersive home listening experience across Apple TV, Vision Pro, and home theater setups.
  • Regular updates and expanding catalog for classical music lovers.
Cons
  • Frequent stability and crash issues, including launches and outages.
  • Atmos playback not consistently delivered as true multi-channel (often stereo or degraded).
  • Offline listening/downloads are missing or unavailable.
  • Limited casting and device ecosystem support (no Chromecast, no Roku app, no CarPlay integration).
  • Perceived high price/value, making it expensive relative to offerings.

2025-09-21 El***** For me,the Apple Vision Pro’s greatest benefit is to experience live music without leaving home. I was so surprised to come across this app and find beautiful music available at no extra cost. Thank you to the creators for making this available.

2025-08-14 Sc***** Dismal performance from this app. Many concerts in the back catalog fail to load or play on my Apple TV and forget completely about getting Dolby Atmosphere quality sound. Don’t waste your money

2025-07-21 Ca***** The main reason I purchased Stage+ was to access Rotterdam’s superb Rheingold, which I saw on Medici. The Medici performance had subtitles, but DG tells me their streaming service has no subtitles available for the exact same performance.

2025-03-13 Ri***** With so many free options to stream the fame music $99/year seems very overpriced for what they offer

2024-12-16 Ki***** A new wave of appreciation sent to Stage# for compiling such a magnificent library of revered composers and artists! I will enjoy in the days ahead moving through the vast collection of music and collective talent the architects of Stage+ have created for all music lovers! Thank you!

2024-11-08 Am***** I will wait to subscribe until they fix the issue, because it seems like a great app if they can get the Atmos to work as proper eight channel rather than the current stereo with low channel. To be clear, I am using it on both an Apple TV and fire TV device connected to an Atmos ready receiver , but when I play content marked is Atmos in the app, it plays back in three channel rather than full Atmos
