Very good tour experience
The Biosphere was very fun and the information the video tour guide provided was very informative about what the Biosphere was about. The self-guided tour may not be for everyone but I personally enjoyed it!
Data cache 224/226
I’ve installed this app 3x. Each time it tries to load cache and stalls out at 224/226. It doesn’t open. Doesn’t work at all.
Don’t try to download over the cellular network
Several members of my family had problems with videos freezing. It seems that video files we had downloaded using cellular had been corrupted. We were able to fix the problem by reinstalling the app using WiFi at the facility.

Does not work reliably
4 people in our group, all downloaded the app prior to our visit. Only one person had the app work though each tour stop. Everyone else had it fail almost immediately. That left them to wander the tour route with no interpretation. Biosphere2 should stick to paper visitor guides until they fix this app.

Unfortunate Experience
We visited the Biosphere and unfortunately the app was completely unreliable. It worked sometimes and didn’t work other times. This was true for all 3 of us attempting to use it! The videos and audio sometime played and sometimes didn’t. This was regardless of using Wi-Fi or not. This made the entire Biosphere tour/experience unpleasant and frustrating. My advice is to not go. This very poor University of Arizona experience is simply likely to create more frustration than learning.
