  • Poorly Lit Museum

    This museum is poorly lit and has poor navigation signage. This app often doesn’t give clear direction because of shortcomings of GPS for this application.

  • Good navigation, crashes when I link to link membership

    App repeatedly crashes if I try to look my membership details with the “link ticket” button, and “member login” just takes me to the website...

  • Sooo helpful

    I was trying to figure where the American Indians were for about 30mins before I downloaded the app. After I did it was a straight forward 11 minute walk right to the hall of eastern woodland Indians. I would highly recommend anyone to download the app if there visiting the natural history museum.

  • Just short of perfection

    This app is a MUST if you are going to the American Museum of Natural History. Not only does it give you turn by turn and visual directions INSIDE THE BUILDING to what you want to see next. It also lets you digitize your tickets.

    The ONLY flaw keeping it from being perfect is that it doesn’t save a digital membership card. Give me that and I will change this to 5 stars.

  • Useful information, but flawed navigation

    Good overview and detailed info on contents and locations. Useful guides for kids.
    With museum wifi, navigation to specific exhibits in museum is difficult at best. Paper map was more useful.

  • Very Helpful

    It shows the places of every single exhibit and shows you how to get there. It also shows you where the bathrooms are (bless). Very helpful and usefull, would recommend using when in the American Natural History Museum in NYC.

  • Best museum app

    I’ve downloaded my share of museum apps since I frequent many museums. This is by far the best museum app I’ve downloaded. The best feature is indoor maps. Enable WiFi (you may need to connect to their WiFi) and Bluetooth and the app will show you your location within the museum. It will also guide you turn by turn to get to a specific exhibit/area to a museum. This is especially useful since the museum is cavernous and it’s easy to get lost. The tidbits of information about exhibits is neat too! Love this app!

  • Saved me from fear

    I got this app so I could at all costs STAY AWAY FROM THE BLUE WHALE MODEL. Whales scare me so badly, and I needed to know how I could stay as far away as possible from it. But my family wanted to see it, so I walked with them up to where the exhibit starts, so I could not see it. This app helped me know how close I was getting to it, since it tracked my steps real time. It was spot on accurate to my location in the museum. I'm rating it five stars since it saved me from having a heart attack in public. Also the other stuff in the app works great.

  • Best iPhone 7 location services app!

    This is hands down the most sensitive and effective location based museum app I've used. Works amazingly well on an iPhone 7. Down to the foot. Find exhibits, bathrooms and exits. Link your tickets so they display electronically etc. Get it!
  • A great, interactive app!!

    I am very pleasantly surprised with this app. It is informative about the museum and caters to your specific interests. Unlike most of the apps I've seen for other museums, the app is aesthetically pleasing and doesn't look out of date. You have a strong 5 stars from me!
