User Reviews

Reviews praise the Met Opera on Demand library and content quality, especially on Apple TV, but consistently report a buggy app: login and subscription problems, crashes, playback and progress-tracking issues, and inconsistent device compatibility. Content remains the main draw, but reliability gaps undermine the value of the subscription for many users.

Pros

Extensive, high-quality library of operas and performances.
Immediate access via annual subscription, convenient on Apple TV.
The performances themselves are excellent; the content feels priceless to fans.
Supports opera and classical music organizations through subscription.

Cons

Chronic instability: frequent crashes, freezes, and overall unreliability.
Persistent login/subscription issues and poor or slow customer support.
Favorites, resume, and watch history not saving or syncing across devices.
Playback problems: sometimes no sound, playback stops, or downloads fail.
UI/UX and device compatibility problems: landscape mode restrictions, navigation/search issues, and inconsistent updates.

Recent reviews

The app has stopped working. It opens for a second and then crashes. It worked a few weeks ago. I don’t know what changed.

I have been a Met Opera on Demand subscriber for a couple of years now. I don’t think I watch enough of it to justify $150/year but still get the annual subscription because I love having immediate access to great opera content on my Apple TV and also love supporting opera/classical music companies. I’ve had minimal issues with the app until a few weeks ago when it started prompting me to “login or subscribe” (even though I’m already subscribed to it annually, which got automatically renewed earlier this year). Unfortunately, logging in or restoring the purchase options “cannot find purchase”! I confirmed via the Apple TV settings that I have an active subscription! I tried contacting their customer support several weeks ago but I received nothing but radio silence 😤

I wish I knew. I can’t tell. You’d think that pressing a play button arrow would start a song, but no. No music begins. Click the track list? Shows “now playing” but no sound from iPhone. I’ve had this annoying app for several months and generally give up. On one occasion, I kept clicking on any opera, any song! Just play something!! This opera, that opera. Audio. Video. Ugh! Nothing but frustration. No sound. Put down the phone. Then about 5 minutes later I heard something! It was playing some random opera I had never heard of, but hallelujah it was playing!! Unfortunately I had to stop it to take a call, and I’ve never gotten it to play again. What a waste of money! I use opera for relaxation. This app has the opposite effect. If anyone knows how to make it play, please let me know
