Reviews
Expensive and glitchy
mecarboy
Great idea, poorly executed and implemented. Software does not provide for smooth and simple airplay to other devices. Unable to advance through video rapidly is a material shortcoming. These guys be the same ones who design video software for airplanes. Just lousy and not well thought through. Won't renew subscription
Excellent content, good app

I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now. The content is wonderful. So much to choose from. Recent and historical. Across a wide range of artists, composers, modalities. Production quality is usually very good. The app itself (as opposed to the content) has come a long way and is now perfectly adequate. The only reason I gave this four stars rather than five is because the app can still be improved, but it’s entirely usable as is. While it would be greatly advantageous to have a native app for platforms like Roku and Apple TV that are run straight from a TV, that’s not relevant to evaluating the iPad app itself. I do think Medici TV would realize a significant pick-up in subscribers if it could expand to platforms like Roku, which are not only more convenient when using a TV but would also allow for better audio (and perhaps video) than can be accomplished by broadcasting from the iPad to TV via Airplay.
Search results hard to read

Can't find the interview I'm looking for bc the search results don't open in a new page.
Piece of Crap
Kmkirlin
Have tried to use the app for a month. Paid $150 annually (upfront) for full version. Confusing main page, very limited controls for playing videos of recorded concerts. If you pause video reply the app often freezes, requiring app restart. Can't use slider to advance or go back on video reply. Contacted customer service (only option: email) about problem. 3 days later I got reply with instructions to use Airplay-she didn't even read my email. I tried to cancel subscription renewal. With 11 months left they cancelled me immediately with NO pro rata refund. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE!
Major Apple TV streaming problem
Enrique PA
When streaming from an iPad through Apple TV medici.tv stops streaming when the iPad screen goes to sleep. This behavior did not happen before this update and does not happen with other apps. I contacted the medici.tv help team who suggested that I download the latest version. I did but the problems continue. I have so indicated to them but I have not heard from them in several days. I am considering canceling my subscription.
Technical Frustrations, Great content

Subtitles don't stream to the TV during Airplay (and they stopped updating their AppleTV app) which means you have to watch everything on your device if you want subtitles. also, airplay is glitchy and sometimes you can't start or stop it when you want to. Those items aside, I like a lot of their content. It would be nice to be able to filter by instrument.
Content is great, but app needs work

I’ve been a subscriber for a couple of years, but continue to be disappointed with the quality of the iOS app, and lack of native apps for the likes of Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. Despite a number of updates, the iOS app still does not respond to remote media control events (headset/keyboard buttons for play/pause, skip forward/back). It has to be the only media app in App Store that has this limitation, and one wonders how it is even possible to create any sort of a media app without such support. It would also be nice to be able to download so that one does not need an internet connection to enjoy it. And too bad they seem to have pulled the Apple TV app.
Excellent Application for Classical Music Lovers
ttpease
Medici.tv did a very nice job on this application. The content is excellent for those who love classical music. The ability to view live and recent concerts on my iPhone is fantastic. I had no problems watching previously recorded video over WiFi. The sound quality and video quality were very good. It will be interesting to see how it plays over G3 and how well live broadcasts work. The interface is well designed and easy to maneuver. Occasionally it is a tad slow when changing screens, but this is a very minor issue. This is a great app that delivers as advertised - and it's free! Thank you medici.tv.
