Art collector

Amazing art collection and beautiful online tour

scam, don’t use

This app is not affiliated with the gallery, I confirmed this with the information counter. the in-app purchase is worthless. i will be requesting a refund

Deceiving app

I purchased the audio guide, but it isn’t anywhere to be found in the app. Augmented reality feature doesn’t work, and the app asks for too many permissions including location. Rubbish!

Awful silly app

How can a British institution like the national gallery come up with such a dreadful app. It’s pointless and useless to someone like me that wishes to discover our nations treasures. It also informs you there is an audio download that takes you on a tour of the collection. No it tells you about roughly 60 paintings in very short bursts of nonsense spoken by a computer voice. Just rubbish. Don’t bother with audio, metal Micky had more information to give.

Pathetic

There is no obvious way of finding the In app purchase you want. I was hoping to buy the National Gallery Pack. Unfortunately it is nowhere to be found. An art gallery is about the art. Not the other touristy dross the developers are trying to foist on you so much so that the art is drowned out. This app seems to be a case of not being able to see the wood from the trees. Or should I say the art from the background noise.

Poor Quality Reproductions + tariff :(

I am most surprised that the reproductions have been adjusted with a dark filter. There are other apps for the iPhone that provide the National Gallery artworks in a more accurate glorious light. Also, be prepared for the $4 tariff not mentioned on the detail page ... this app is not free.
