Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Qello Concerts by Stingray

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2020

At first I thought it was a little pricey. But then I realized I purchase at least two concert dvds a month, because I really enjoy watching live bands on my Saturday nights. At 15.00 dollars for each DVD well you do the math. To get the Quello concert app was a good idea. There's tons of live concerts from all shonrahs. Now I watch concerts of bands that I wouldn't normally buy but on this app I click on them just to see how they sound live. The concerts are not in 4k but they are in HD except for the really old videos that they dug up some where, their kind of grainy. The sound is not in 5.1 sourrond but it is in 2.0 stereo, so if you have a good amp receiver system with some good speakers you can really rock out. Its great for parties cause i use the concerts for my music and you can look at the screen to see them perform if you want. They have good documentaries all related to music.. if your a music buff like I am, try the free trial and check it out.

Qello Amazon app poor compared to Apple

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

WOW! How did this app even get released on the Amazon Fire box? Did anyone even bother to launch this app on the competition? Obviously not, because this is an amazing app on the Apple TV. Doing a side by side comparison of Qello on both the Apple and Amazon simultaneously, there are songs missing on Amazon randomly under some artists, video quality on the Amazon varies from poor to OK and the overall interface is laid out very poorly compared to the Apple. The search doesn't work correctly and the return always forces you back to the main front page each time and you have to start over every time on the Amazon device. None of this is an issue on the Apple. I reached out to Amazon tech support on this issue several times and constantly told "there's an update coming to fix this". Last "update coming" message was back in November... No change so far.

3 ways to sign up for Qello.

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2019

The 3 different ways to sign up for Qello with Amazon. You want to sign up 1. direct from the app, not with 2. amazon signin or 3. as an Amazon channel.

1. Get the app, create a new login, pay direct.

2. If you sign up through Amazon Videos so you can pay through amazon, you will not be able to login on apple or most other devices. The "login from Amazon" button is simply not an optioon on other devices.

3. If you set it up as an Amazon Channel, you lose all the app features, like song list and favorites.

I like the app overall, as I enjoy watching live music videos. There isn't as much as I had hoped, and no Neil except a couple songs from Bobfest and other "various musicians " events. Hopefully they will add many more concerts and even single music videos. If not, a great way to see which videos are worth getting on disc. And, some of the videos are out of print and quite expensive on secondary market.

I have a bunch of favorites on the layout on my computer in the Stingray Qello page. But I cannot find these favorites or as it says "MY Q" So, Okay I looked for the new Holiday collection now I cannot find this either. How can you find anything in Qello Stingray on fire stick, Fire T.V or Fire Cube. I know it works fine on the Roku, but then I do not have one of those anymore. Why is the layout so different on Fire Devices? but mostly help PLEASE!!!????

Qello has improved.

Been a member for a couple of years now. Qello is a great concept but the experience falls short of expectations. The service is plagued with constant buffering issues, and the interruptions completely ruin the concert feel. I'm on the verge of cancelling the subscription, I stick with them thinking that the service will improve with time, but it hasn't. Honestly, I wish this company would just get bought out by Netflix so it could be run right.

**Update 2/17**
Well, I've stuck with them another year. I have to say, the streaming experience has improved. Also, I'm a big fan of the "Guitar Sessions Series", a well crafted mix of personal interview/song playing with popular performers, providing an insight into the turmoils and successes within an artist's career. If you are a music fan, give Qello a try and see if you enjoy it as much as I have.

This is a great app

I am not sure why the reviews are so mixed. I was paying $5.00 a month to get HDNET back in the day. Main reason, I enjoyed the HD concerts and music aspect of the channel. It was also a great way to show off my big screen. HDNET would play a lot of the same stuff over and over and eventually changed to AXS. I no longer subscribe. That money now goes to Qello.

On wanting more concerts, there are so many concerts I have yet to watch that I do not understand that complaint. Do I want more? Yes and they keep releasing more. The Rock Hall of Fame and more Doors just came out. The variety is certainly here.

On the app crashing, I use it through my Sharp and on Amazon Fire. Lately the Amazon fire has been my go to streaming device. It would be great to be able to use the Amazon Fire voice search on my qello app. There is no real buffering and my wifi is in the other room. I have yet to use my android but I will be soon.

Short Version: Fast stream, good quality, lots of great concerts, continues to improve the app and add to the content library.

Waste of Money. Waste of Time. Absolutely NOT HD.

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016

Run away. Run far, far away. There's so much wrong with this service that I don't even know where to start. Day one, I figured I'd sign up for the trial to see what it was like. All of the "HD" titles were grainy and very much not HD. It constantly buffered the video (definitely an issue on Qello's end since I have a gigabit internet connection hard wired into my FireTV). Day two it claims I have a network issue and the app won't load anything buy my account information screen. Amazingly everything else on my FireTV works fine, and there is no network issue.

I can honestly say from my first 48 hours with the app, this is not at all worth what they're charging. It's unreliable. It's absolutely not HD. As another reviewer shared, much of what's on Qello is actually available on YouTube. Download the YouTube app to your FireTV and just search. It's free and it works so much better with far better quality. I'm not sure who Qello has working on their app, but the app itself is absolute garbage.

The concert's are not as one would think. They do not flow like when a tv show is made for streaming but the commercial has been edited out. The user interface is horrible. They do have a decent selection but watching caused stress and agravtion. Don't pay for ... Get free trail then you will understand completely.

Good concerts for me, worth price to try, no question. I was thinking it was 99 cents a month; looks like the price goes to 7.99

Still is great when I want it so far. It doesn't look hard to cancel, but I haven't tried yet.Some concerts I really liked and worth subscription cost even if I don't use it again for a few month given what I have gotten so far. The draw back is that I have had to log off on one TV in my room before I log in someplace else in my house. And since I was thinking it was just 99 cents a month, I will drop it when I am not watching it. I would give it 5 stars, but I haven't used it enough to be sure, and I haven't figured out if there are 2 levels or not. I might be obtuse, but the billing and use policies are not as clear as they could be. That seems kinda standard with some of my other Fire TV Apps; free to try (or cheap in this instance), confusing with the bill (not sure if there is a 99 cent plan or not, think not), I had trouble when logged in on 2 TVs with this App (coulda been me, but worked fine when I closed out one), And I have to say I really liked what I have watched and listened to.

Terrific variety

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019

I ordered this for my mother who suffers from Alzheimer's because she loves opera, classical music, and classical music. She is unable to use remote controls, so we have to choose something for her. Sometimes, we need something to play for several hours so we choose the main feature. What I do not like, and think they should look into is the fact that they do not change those lineups enough. It seems as though it is the same line up for weeks, and that gets old. The other problem we have is that is buffers a lot and she does not understand what is happening so she will turn it off. Other than those things, I feel the money for the subscription was well spent.
