Dex explains why that is standard museum practice and not a deception, and it does so without talking down to you. The hall reads completely differently after that. ### 5/5 — Detailed content *2026-08-05* architecture major here. theres a whole segment on how the beam of light from the oculus crawls across the floor during the day and roughly where it landed on certain dates. my professors slides dont get anywhere close to that. somebody actually did the work on this ### 5/5 — good ending *2026-08-05* the best detail it saves for the very end. this works ### 5/5 — Was great fun around London *2026-07-29* Haven’t tried it around other cities but was a great way to see Tower of London and Camden. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-24* What a Fanta tour ### 5/5 — Very interesting and informative *2026-06-02* Used it in Duomo, was very interesting and informative, loved the story telling! Haven’t used anything like this before ### 5/5 — Unique experience *2026-06-02* never thought I could experience a location this well. everything from the content to how the app answered everything at Tower of London amazed me ### 5/5 — Great for museums *2026-06-02* Tried this in Paris last week at Orsay and Versailles. Asked some questions about paintings and rooms, got decent answers. Better than the official audio guide. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-02* Downloaded this app randomly and it turned out to be great! Used the Colosseum audioguide. Very easy and informative. ### 5/5 — Gamechanger *2026-06-02* I was in Rome last week and this app was an absolute gamechanger. I am the guy that will open up Wikipedia and read tidbits about the museum I am in. This app upgraded that experience for me and how. I felt like I was in a movie and the story was unfolding all around me. It felt like a new way of traveling and experiencing and it genuinely made my visit better. I am very excited to use this next. The chat feature with historical figures is a lot of fun! ### 5/5 — Must have companion for your travels *2026-04-03* Dex transformed my visit to the British Museum! The interactive audio guide was not only informative but also engaging, making each exhibit come alive with rich stories. The easy-to-follow navigation and seamless experience truly enhanced my museum visit. Highly recommend for anyone exploring the British Museum! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-03* I don’t post reviews usually but this is amazing. UI,UX. Clearly thoughts were put into it. Well done. Keep it up :) ### 5/5 — Amazing experience *2025-11-26* Used this app on my Tower of London tour, and it was absolutely amazing. I really loved this new way of traveling where I have a personal guide with whom I can chat, ask questions, and that person can guide me around. Absolutely loved it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ALL AI GENERATED *2026-07-19* If you want to listen to awful, soulless AI-generated audio tours of a city, then you might like this app. I would recommend not to waste your money and time. ### 2/5 — Ai slop *2026-07-19* All ai slop. Worthless. ### 4/5 — even for locals *2026-08-04* i am from florence and this app still taught me things ### 5/5 — great navigation *2026-08-24* this castle is very confusing to move around and the app organized it better than the signs do. it kept me in the correct order, no going back twice. one star less because when i arrived to the terraces on top it became silent and i was alone again ### 5/5 — works for two *2026-08-23* we shared one set of earbuds. pause and start again is easy one handed, so the two of us got through the whole thing on the one phone ### 5/5 — scanning is fun *2026-08-22* the line outside was insane btw. anyway i pointed it at a random door just to see if it would even do a door. it did. scanned everything after ### 5/5 — makes you actually look *2026-08-21* dex described the marble turning soft into leaves partway up daphnes arm and i walked that sculpture three separate times looking for it. thats the whole value. you slow down and actually look instead of taking a photo and bailing. the ticket desk staff were rude though ### 5/5 — slowed me way down *2026-08-20* it told me to back up a few steps and squint at the Turners. did it for 15 minutes like an idiot. totally works ### 5/5 — Like a documentary *2026-08-16* sounds like a netflix doc not one of those rental headsets ### 5/5 — Real answers *2026-08-14* asked why everybody crowds around one specific painting and dex gave me an actual answer, not a wall label, then i hit it with three follow ups. people were walking around me while i stood there grilling my phone out loud. five bucks well spent ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — very good ai *2026-08-13* you ask, it answers, then you ask again. superb ### 5/5 — good for history nerds *2026-08-08* im a history teacher so i figured this would be pretty thin. but the hypogeum section, the tunnel level underneath where the animals and the fighters waited to get winched up through the trapdoors, dex actually does that right. i stood in a hot corridor for like 20 minutes just listening to it. my own students tune out when i cover the exact same material, so. humbling. security line was 40 minutes though, bring water ### 5/5 — finally get it *2026-08-07* ive read a ton about this dome over the years and kept none of it. dex lays out the concrete, unreinforced, still standing after 2000 years, and nobody has fully nailed down the mix. first time any of it stuck. clear without being dumbed down, which is harder than it sounds --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
