Political

Too much political commentary when discussing art.

Stop

Please stop interrupting my museum experience; it’s a piteous distraction from the artistic experience, like brutally awakening someone from a delightful dream.
Please stop.

Great - but the odd problem with lighting

Some (very few) paintings are partly invisible because of reflected light at their top third. A slight adjustment could fix this

Awesome! Use it in your own Backyard!

I use this app all over the world, but never thought to use it locally until recently. You can always find something fascinating to do and learn.

Love this

Having the audio tours for museums at my finger tips makes the museum experience even more rich.

Excellent

Only just found this app but on first view it looks so good !
Plan your visit with previews so you aren’t disappointed when you arrive . Lived in Barnsley 50 years and didn’t know there was a museum/ gallery in Doncaster so that’s one to visit .
Not sure what all the complains are about Yorkshire Sculpture Park , the maps work well and give good photos, perhaps they need newer phones unless the app has been improved.

The intro is a teaser creating in me the desire to
get there right away to take in the touch and physical orientation of the Huntington experience

Some lookups hang

According to Speedtest I have great speed but the lookup page and the actual lookup hangs. Unclear what the problem is.

So worth it!!!

This is an incredible guide for one who travels, haunts museum or libraries, has interest in history, or secretly desires to do any of the above. It has been a great assist on three continents.
