Most eye-catching thing on every page is red button TOUR that links you to purchase some tickets. I have expected more elaborated and helpful application than this. Paper map in the museum is more helpful that this app. Installed, used, de-install. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED ### 1/5 — No service *2018-02-14, version 1.0.32* For days it has been impossible to restore purchases. Although an error is admitted, nobody seems to do anything about it. Collecting my money was a lot faster. ### 1/5 — Not useful *2018-01-05, version 1.0.32* Nothing is available without upgrade, except ordering tours to pay for. ### 1/5 — Useless scam *2017-10-22, version 1.0.31* Useless if you don’t pay..... just as useless if you do pay. ### 1/5 — Not free at all *2017-09-18, version 1.0.31* Free to download, but to get ANY content you must pay $3 to "unlock". ### 1/5 — I found no value in this app *2017-05-30, version 1.0.31* I thought it would at least place my position on the map or make it easy to see where things were located. Nope. It has a few pages of stock history, pictures from stock locations. About every selection tries to sell more services. Worse I purchased the maps by accident due to the confusing UI. I'm sorry I purchased it, just wasted my time. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2017-04-14, version 1.0.26* Confusing user interface. Can't use it without spending £3 on maps as far as I can see ### 1/5 — App gancho. Inservible *2016-12-31, version 1.0.26* Es una muestra de otras aplicaciones que puedes comprar en las que supongo que si tendrán mas información. No muestra nada util ni informacion ### 1/5 — Free version of all their apps are useless *2016-06-30, version 1.0.21* For free you get a short intro and history. To access maps or anything else you need to pay $2.50. ### 1/5 — Useless at the museum *2016-05-10, version 1.0.18* It had a lot of content that could have been useful before going to the museum, but their are better sources available for free. I paid for the full version so I expected a searchable app to help me find what I was interested in. Nope, nothing. Don't waste your time with this. It's confusing and poorly organized. I ended up finding what I needed on Google. And the British museum has free wifi. ### 4/5 — It is the best guide! *2016-05-05, version 1.0.18* It is very important to have such a guide to find out more about the British museum. It contains a lot of information. It is British museum guide I have known! ### 4/5 — Great app *2016-05-03, version 1.0.18* This British Museum Guide is great. The only thing I can complain about is the fact that most things in the app need to be unlocked and paid for. It's worth it if you want to have everything all in one. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not official guide ££££ *2023-06-19, version 1.0.37* Not official guide. ££££ ### 1/5 — Don't even bother *2019-06-18, version 1.0.34* -> You can't search for specific items. You have no idea what a specific room contains. -> The map feature will not track you while you're inside the museum, despite allowing locations access. -> You cannot tap on a room on the map and be directed to information on that room. ### 1/5 — One star is too many. *2018-10-30, version 1.0.33* Every button is to an extra payment. I got the museum guide thinking that it would be informative and include an audio guide as suggested in the features. Not so. It’s a basic map of the museum which is posted around and can be googled for free. This is not worth the time to search for it. Very disappointing. I’ve requested a refund for the useless added content. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-10-08, version 1.0.33* You have to pay (despite not saying that on the description) for everything useful. It’s an app for advertisement and nothing else. For less money you can buy the museum guide which is useful. ### 1/5 — Бесполезная! *2018-06-26* Абсолютно бесполезное приложение, в том числе и та часть что за плату!!! Думал будет каталог и фото коллекций, а вместо этого пару общих картинок и план музея!!! ### 1/5 — Absolute crap do not download *2018-06-09, version 1.0.32* This thing is junk and should be removed. I downloaded thinking I would be cool using my phone and not the large paper map like everyone one else in this building. Little did I know that I would be more frustrated than a fapper in a glass house on the seashore. Pay the money or do not download. Even the paid for version is junk. (Guy next to me downloaded paid version, such a dum-dum) ### 1/5 — 👎🏼 *2018-04-04* You get nothing with free version. **Developer response:** Thank you very much and we are sorry the hear that. It is only 1 payment to unlock the content. The reason behind this is for travelers to be able to enjoy everything in an offline mode without paying for roaming charges while they travel. Even being able to use geolocalization capabilities such as GPS or Augmented Reality without being connected to your cell phone provider. We hope you understand and if you have any other question, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Thank you. ### 1/5 — No content *2018-03-30, version 1.0.32* I was expecting a guide to the BM exhibits. All I’ve found is some maps and a list of very expensive guided tours. ### 1/5 — No free content *2018-03-20, version 1.0.32* If you are looking for free self guided tours this app is not for you. Anything you want to access you have to pay for, so you may as well get an audio guide when you get to the museum. ### 1/5 — Inútil e inentendible *2018-02-14, version 1.0.32* Los mapas no son interactivos, la realidad aumentada NO EXISTE. no tiene guia de nada. Un ROBO ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — An experience not to be missed *2024-05-18, version 1.0.37* No matter your age or interest, The British Museum is a “must-see” experience that will resonate long after you leave its hallowed halls and soaring sky-lit center square. The beauty and grace of the modern rotunda amidst the traditional, classical features of the interior spaces sets a tone of reverence and respect for the objects and antiquities one will encounter. The top highlights are all gorgeous and powerful. The frieze sculptures from the Parthenon reveal a myriad of physical human shape, form, and mass, and the details found in each piece are fascinating bits that dive me deep into the time and place from which they came. This gallery and the adjoining rooms kept me entranced for over an hour- I would have been happy to stay longer - We moved on to the Egyptian treasures, similarly stunning, and ventured throughout the museum for approximately 4 hours total, including delightful lunch break. That felt like the perfect amount of time to be there - viewing many of the most popular sculptures and items, and veering off to the clock and money collections. We left delightfully full and satisfied, but not overwhelmed. I would have enjoyed going to this museum again a few days later, had my holiday been longer. As it is, I’m grateful for the app, website, and my photos, so I can continue exploring the vast wealth of beauty and knowledge within this profound museum. ### 5/5 — Ian Wilson *2023-12-01, version 1.0.37* Always, always, well worth the visit .
