super creative! minor concern
unless i am not using it correctly, there seems to be a lot of artworks that arent displayed on the app. besides that, i love this. i hope every museum in the world adapts to this
Grr
Horrible absolutely horrible they don’t have the Mona Lisa
Good intentions app but needs a lot of fine tuning.
While informative, it’s only at times. A lot of the “scan” items need updating as they don’t register in the app. Some that say there is audio to listen to, but there is no audio. Felt it was choppy and got frustrating to use when trying to learn. Also annoying a lot of you save while there isn’t saved properly when home.

Disk space hog
Cool app but after installation and minimal usage it starts to take more and more disk space. I finally uninstalled it when I was trying to free up space and saw that this app was one of the top offenders taking up too much space
Cleveland Museum of Art - app
I spent two days submersed in the fabulous collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art. We came in from out of town to study works in the American wing and contemporary collection. Rather than photographing the paintings and side notes I opted to use the museums app ART LENS. Spent alot of time looking and marking up the paintings in their LIKE 💜 folder. Goal was to look back at the app and do further research at home.
Guess what...the darn app only works inside the museum! It only loads to 60% at home. So now I am back from vacation with no research notes or photos.
The Cleveland Museum of Art experience was out standing. But my goal was to come back to the art studio to do research. I am left so disappointed that the app failed.

Improve your search function...
Would like to see more search options like:
- by artist’s country of origin, with route map - by theme, floral, battles, mountain seems...including route maps to see all works in organized manner...

Only 1 reason it didn’t get 5 stars.
I’m an art novice so the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because while you’re listening to the videos you can’t put your phone to sleep even though the app can be used in the background. This means you’re holding your phone the entire time. Would be nice to listen with my phone on my pocket.

Very useful
This is a wonderful app to have while visiting the Cleveland Natural Museum of Art. Provides a guide, tours and you can save your favorite art. I use this app every time I am here.
New version is horrible
The Cleveland Museum of Art recently rolled out a new version of this app and it is absolutely awful. It won't load entire galleries anymore and crashes if you try. It's slow, clunky and downright awful. I find it to be far harder and clumsier than the really outstanding old version. There's an old saying: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." There was absolutely nothing wrong with the old version, but it's my considered opinion that this monstrosity is a real clunker. Those considering downloading it: don't bother. It will prove to be a complete waste of your time and it will drive you nuts trying to use it.
Wait until a new, improved version comes out. If ever. Or just hope that they get the message and give us back the old one that was so much better. This one STINKS!

648MB app - takes up more space than Photos app
The app itself is 40.3MB. On initial launch, you'll have to download another 607MB of content. It is stored locally on your device instead of pulled on-demand from a server. For an occasional use app, this is a complete waste of space.
