Brilliant

I have seen it before and want to say it is a great app to keep people busy and find a new inspection of paintings in the gallery. It is a brilliant app.

Great for curious kids

This kept my 10.5 year old very engaged and filled two hours well at the National Gallery.
It's a clever app which encourages short discussions on paintings and has fun use of mixed reality to overlay crystals to capture, cats to interact with and the various keepers.
It's a well made app and was generally stable but did crash a few times in Room 11 for some reason!
Remember to connect to the National Gallery WiFi to make sure it works everywhere.

BRILLIANT

I’d give this app 10 stars if I could. Thought we’d possibly last an hour in the gallery but managed 4! Kept 2 tween boys fully entertained and they learnt stuff too. Meant that the older kids and adults could actually relax and enjoy the art rather than dealing with fed up kids. Could not recommend more.

Could be awesome

First time today using the app, it started off really well, my Son loved the interaction with the art and the story line but after a while we go stuck in a room and couldn’t find the painting which we later found out it has moved to a different room and the app wouldn’t allow us to skip the painting and move on and then just kept crashing, so we gave up.

Please update app to paintings in the correct location.

Waste of time
