This app needs to be refirbished. It’s worthless for both live concerts and streaming. Useless.

Enjoying very much
I can’t seem to synchronize my iPad with my smart tv to cast from iPad to tv but it’s not a bid deal, just a bit harder to select via tv remote.

Berlin Phil App
I purchased a 30 day ticket about 2-3 days ago...the message this morning, “You don’t have access to paid programming”. I was also looking for access to the archives.
It seems that the overall free access does not let me get in as I’ve checked in before on a previous occasion, possibly when there was a free week.
Please advise.

Thank you Berliner Philharmoniker!
In a time of a global threat, like the pandemic we are all facing, opening your site to music lovers around the world is an extraordinary gift. The lockdown of many cities is the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with your orchestra and the fabulous musicians that compose it. I’m sure that for many it is the perfect remedy to reduce stress and anxiety. Let’s hope that through music we will also realize that we are in this together and together we have to find the solutions to reinvent the world we live in. Thank you, Berliner Philarmoniker.

World class
"World class" is an over-used term and should be reserved only for situations such as this and its attendant orchestra. The subscription it totally worth the investment and the app reflects the quality of this great ensemble. Also the production values of the concerts themselves are first rate. How exciting to be able to drop into an evening at the Philharmonie — and to feel like you’re there LIVE.

Great App, Wonderful Music.
We have been using this app for a year now, and we are very pleased with it. The range of content that is available is excellent. We’re using it on the current model of Apple TV.

Great App. Superb music
After discovering the Digital Concert Hall by chance on Sony SmartTV totally by chance I have been a subscriber for over 5 years. The iOS app gets better all the time and continues to play audio when I close off the video portion. So dual function. The ability to download favourite concerts for travel and replay saves bandwidth. A first rate app that allows the best players in the world to be seen on iOS and tvOS as well as MacOS. Not bad. 😊.

Plays bad with Chromecast
Streaming to Chromecast is exasperatingly hit-and-miss. Even when it works, navigating within a video is also an exercise in frustration.

about time
Having written complain that streaming is impossible everywhere in the world, finally someone listened as this app permits off line listening and watching meaning it must have a download at least as a temp file. I assume it self deletes after it plays once but have not tried that as of yet. Using a computer was an exercise in frustration knowing that Europeans with their truly high speed connexions could watch and listen to the very high quality images and sound from this source whilst we in the hinterlands of Canada are given the crystal set equivalent to what they get over there. I am hoping this app permits a large enough cache to avoid the streaming pauses that makes concert listening impossible.
