### 2/5 — Audio

*2026-01-24, version 1.36*

Pas de guide audio

### 2/5 — What? Where?

*2025-11-04, version 1.36*

Difficult to navigate, and hard to find what I need.

Not much useful information

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-05-08*

App with no value

### 1/5 — App is useless

*2022-12-12, version 1.35*

Map function on this is terrible, continuously pops up adds for accomodation in Paris.

### 1/5 — Ne sert à rien

*2022-10-31*

Appli qui ne sert à rien - ou qui est suffisamment mal faite pour ne pas qu’on sache à quoi elle sert

### 1/5 — Sales Pitch for tours

*2022-10-05, version 1.35*

If I can easily find what you are selling, but have difficulty finding information about the actual art works and how to find them, Then this app is a waste of time. Do better. (Only buy this if you don't care because I could just go to
The louvre and soin around there. At least I would find something that way.

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2022-09-05, version 1.35*

Me cobraron y no hace nada la App

### 1/5 — Should be removed

*2022-08-05, version 1.35*

Such bad developers must be black listed by Apple App Store

### 1/5 — Fine if you are only looking for ads

*2022-06-14, version 1.35*

Seems like everything I click on In this app is just a pop up to open safari to book a tour guide or buy tickets to something.  Not useful for planning the route through the louvre

### 1/5 — Nullissime

*2022-04-27*

Aucun intérêt

### 1/5 — Tellement pas a la hauteur

*2022-03-24*

Faites quelques chose l’application n’ai juste pas du tout du tout du tout à la hauteur, vraiment et en anglais par défaut, mal présenter que ce soit sur iPhone ou iPad. Le contenu est pauvre, je m’attendais à tout sauf à ça, vraiment aucun intérêt et pour que je prenne le temps c’est qu’elle n’ai vraiment pas bien. Meilleur temps d’aller sur le site ou YouTube ou Tripadvisor ou d’autres pour les conseils, photos, vidéo et informations.

### 1/5 — Pas terrible

*2021-10-27*

Existe en Français. Il suffit de changer la langue mais à part l’histoire du Louvre et de ses différents occupants, il n’y a rien ds les autres onglets à part la possibilité de passer premium. Et si on essaie de fermer cette page d’achat, ce dernier se lance automatiquement.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase this

*2021-10-16, version 1.34*

This app was incredibly disappointing. It is bases on advertising for tours and hotels. Keep looking.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-09-27, version 1.34*

Useless unless you don’t pay premium

### 1/5 — Pas une appli officielle

*2021-08-06*

Ce n’est pas une application officielle…

### 1/5 — NOT OFFICIAL APP

*2021-08-04, version 1.34*

Not a good app
Has annoying banner adds

### 1/5 — Pas l’appli officielle

*2021-07-21*

Que des publicités pour voyager à Paris…

### 1/5 — Free version has no added value

*2026-04-10, version 1.36*

I have to admit I did not try the full version, but the free version did not serve any use for me. Did not even run stable. Sorry but I prefere the printed Louvre map.

### 1/5 — Überhaupt nicht zu enpfehlen!

*2025-04-16, version 1.36*

Diese App ist echt nutzlos! Es sind nur ein paar angaben sie gerade einen nicht sehr informieren. Und ausderdem muss man sich erst mal ewig anmelden bis man sie nutzen kann! Alle die das lesen: Kauft euch bei der Information lieber ein Ticket für die Audios. Die Treppe und Rolltreppe dazu ist neben dem großen Bild der Mona-Lisa. Da könnt ihr dann einlösen.

### 1/5 — Que de la pub?

*2025-03-25*

Je suis un Parisien qui cherche à m’orienter dans le Louvre, pas à acheter des nuits d’hôtel ou des voyages en autocar. Cette appli est peut-être utile pour quelqu’un, mais je n’en suis pas sûr.

### 1/5 — Garbage… not what I needed

*2024-11-25, version 1.36*

Not useful- Many pay portals.   Trapped in this app… when I needed help not getting trapped in the Louvre.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2024-11-24, version 1.36*

This isn’t an official Louvre app. And there are tons of ads and misleading screens. It’s just trash.

### 1/5 — Hard to claim as app

*2024-04-29, version 1.36*

I could not see the value to use this app during museum visit. It simply has some info pages. I might miss its values because my phone had bad internet connection. If it simply has some links to some web sites, it could be a web page instead of an app.

### 1/5 — Not useful at all

*2023-12-18, version 1.36*

The app does’t give any support in visiting louvre. No maps, no guide. Only advertising for buying some tours. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2023-08-25, version 1.36*

All it seems to be is promotional advertising for hotels and tour packages. The maps are just black and white PDFs nothing useful no usable navigation or anything to help you find anything in the museum complex. What a wasted opportunity - and far less given the magnitude of the museum itself. How can they lend their name to such junk. Wish I’d checked out the app before arriving. Wasn’t helpful at all and much disappointment after.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-07-27, version 1.36*

What that guy said

### 1/5 — Aucun intérêt

*2023-06-23*

Je ne vois pas à quoi sert cette application si il n’est même pas capable de nous guider et nous situer dans le louvre.

### 5/5 — Louvre

*2023-09-09, version 1.36*

Museo più famoso, nel suo interno ospita opere molto importanti e famose. Penso che altri musei non siano all’altezza, per vastità ed importanza culturale.

### 5/5 — Great experience....except kids activities

*2019-06-15, version 1.29*

I love the love this place but wished there was more kid oriented activities so the younger generation could grow up with curiosity and exploration. Know where civilization has evolved from is a cornerstone for all youth in my opinion. Again people should encourage bring young kids and tours should also appreciate instead give a stink eye to kids asking questions from their parents.

### 5/5 — My visit to the Louvre

*2019-04-07, version 1.29*

I downloaded this louvre guide for the purpose of visiting the museum while I was in Paris. This is the third time that Ive been into the Louvre and I am still amazed by the size, quality and quantity of art pieces. This louvre guide gives an overview of the most famous and highlights of the museum. It is well made, if you like to read there is a lot of information. Also you can book several guided tours to different collections while you are in the museum. Its a must have if you plan to spend sometime in the museum.
Ive also found out that you can download several museums within this same guide. I will get the Versailles one as I plan to be there next month.

### 5/5 — Very useful and love the pictures

*2018-07-29, version 1.28*

This guide about the Louvre is very complete. You can scroll through all galleries and highlights. It has improved a lot in the last year. It is bu far the most complete guide of the louvre museum Ive seen.

### 5/5 — le Louvre en français!

*2017-12-30, version 1.28*

Le Louvre en français, c’est merveilleux!

### 5/5 — Gracias

*2017-12-09, version 1.28*

Gracias por la actualización.  Saludos

### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2013-05-11, version 1.1*

Muy buena guía

### 4/5 — Щшлулаьыы

*2022-04-20, version 1.35*

C’est en anglais

### 4/5 — Le louvre

*2020-06-23*

l’appli uniquement en anglais, je trouve cela choquant.

### 3/5 — Appli en anglais

*2021-02-13*

Pour le plus grand musée français !
