User reviews

Good looking but empty

The app has a good UI but once you get down to it, this app doesn't contain anything useful at all.
The map is a FAR too simplistic compared to reality to the point that it can't help you navigate at all. Nor does the app show you were you on the maps where you are in the museum.
And everything else ( tickets, directions, etc ) just take you to the web site for the museum.
So what value does this app even try to bring?

This app is to help people with varying abilities navigate the Field

It looks like people are confused about the function and purpose of this app which is to help people that have mobility/sensory and verbal/auditory special needs. There’s a sensory friendly map that shows quiet areas. There’s communication prompts and a planning guide to map out your trip. I think it’s great for attending with little kids or anyone neurodivergent. Kudos to the Field for this app helping people with all abilities enjoy their visit.

Nothing useful

Given how incredible the Institute of Art’s app-based tour was, I had high hopes. This app provided nothing useful for an average out of town visitor - not sure what of use is being made “accessible for all”.

Can’t register in advance

Great museum but the App doesn’t allow me to enter my membership or sign in in advance

App has no ability to ticket

No ability to buy tickets in the app. App just links to a website where you have to enter your personal information over and over again, even for Field Museum members.
