I want Idagio to refund me my money as soon as possible. I was debited by the app after subscribing, but then I unsubstantiated. later on today, I was debited again, that twice in a month.
Classical catalogue is comprehensive, well structured. Now adding some great jazz. App for me works perfectly. I would add that the lossless upgrade is well worth the extra. Even on quite modest equipment the difference is palpable.
So frustrating... I really value the content but this is the slowest app around. It also decides I'm not a subscriber if my internet connection drops out for a second, and won't reconnect without a restart. Albums that have been downloaded seem to disappear or don't appear in the downloads search. Content great... user experience poor.
Great collection, much better metadata for classical music than competitors and a great sound quality (better than Spotify) even with the cheapest plan. The app could be a bit improved: sometimes it's reacting slow (about 1 sec delay) and it's not always intuitive (e.g. when playing from a 'suggestion based on x'-playlist: how do I get back to this playlist? And when searching and then clicking a result to briefly view it, why is the search prompt cleared when going back?)
just plays the same stuff over and over again hard to build a playlist hard to use just too hard... it's also hard to find the music I want to play I'm looking for classical music over the last thousand years and to get that into a playlist but it's impossible to do that. it's really hard to find compositions as well. and customer service is terrible
From the description, it seems clear that lossless audio is included for the $9.99 per month, but it is not included. This is extremely misleading and led to me choosing this app over the competitor, Primephonic. In addition, when streaming an album, there is a significant delay between tracks. This is disruptive when tracks are intended to be continuous or transition smoothly. Otherwise, I absolutely love this app and it would easily get 5 stars. Love the search by instrument!
Absolutely a dream. A little rough around the edges perhaps, but a beautiful app to have lossless and high quality streaming of a large library of works right in your pocket. Subscribed lossless monthly even though my audio setup can't squeeze every last drop of the greatest audio quality that is lossless—I read the human ear will notice the difference even without a perfect lossless audio setup (typical CD song 50 Mb, mp3 of the same song 5 Mb, lossless file of the same song 30Mb—that's a lot lost to compression in the mp3).
Extensive library, organized in ways that make sense for classical, though there are still cases where information is missing or poorly presented. My main beef is with the app. I like to stream to my home audio equipment via Chromecast, but tracks hardly ever advance automatically; I have to hit the skip forward button for every track. The app also loses the album page during playback, making hard to go back and view the track list. I also wish I could view booklets like I can on the website.
This app is amazing for classical music streaming. Spotify, Deezer, etc would always frustrate me with how they categorize/tag classical. Idagio makes it a lot easier to search by performer, composer, or view a list of different performances for a single piece. I can save an entire piece to my favorites without having to save each movement separately. A couple things would make this a 5 star app imo: save my spot in a piece when I close the app, and Google Assistant integration.
Absolutely fantastic app for the classical aficionado or merely the curious. Whether it's the newest release from the Vienna Philharmonic, or that rare but legendary recording from 50 years ago, you can find it. Still a few gaps in the more esoteric section, but I have trouble finding that on the internet more generally. If it had Android Auto support, it would be perfect.
