User reviews

Lack of Clarity

You need to make it clear that if you unlock the full guide, but the British Museum then adds a bespoke audio guide (eg the Korean exhibition) that it’s not included.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We've revised the Full guide product description to help clarify that the Korea exhibition audio guide, as a temporary exhibition offer, is sold separately and not included in the Full guide.

Rooms

Mark them better, at each entryway, larger numbers please.

Top 1 but too hot inside!

Some of the staff was not very helpful in the e paining room.

In App Käufe

Im Grunde kostet alles in der App Geld. Weiß ja jetzt nicht ob man Bildung hinter eine Paywall packen sollte…

Géniale !

L’audio guide est le meilleur !!!
