### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-08-08, version 1.24*

I downloaded app instead of taking a paper map when I visited the Met. It’s completely useless for visiting the museum. It has an architectural floor plan but has no labels for what displays are on which floors. All it has is a bunch of links to tours to buy outside the museum- bus tours etc. it has nothing to do with the museum.

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2026-08-08, version 1.24*

This appears to be a NYC tourism app that is exploiting the Met's reputation to book hotel rooms.  Actual info about the museum is mostly absent.  The Met's real website is 100X more useful and educational.

### 1/5 — Almost useless “tourist” website

*2026-06-17, version 1.24*

Huge disappointment! Met used to have a helpful site that was searchable for specific artworks and had good gallery maps. Now just advertising for other NYC attractions and tours. A shame!

### 5/5 — Audio guide

*2026-06-06, version 1.24*

On a besoin d’un renseignement visiblement davantage disponible sur l’application

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-23, version 1.24*

If you want to know what’s going on at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, look at their website. You will not find anything on this app. There is more information about other sites in the city than there is about what is in the museum. It is a complete waste.

### 1/5 — Worthless to me

*2026-05-04, version 1.24*

I am better off using the link to their website, metmuseum.org because I get better information on current exhibitions, etc., not touristy info. This app does nothing for me. I live in NY.

### 1/5 — Not the official MET app

*2026-04-21, version 1.24*

This is a tour / travel company pretending to be an official museum guide. The constant email traffic starts immediately.

### 1/5 — Not an official app

*2026-03-29, version 1.24*

This app purports itself to be an official app by taking the museum name but as far as I can tell it’s not authorized in any way by the museum. Go for Bloomberg Connects instead!

### 5/5 — Commercial Artist

*2026-01-22, version 1.24*

Excellent museum with world wide appreciation

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-12-28, version 1.24*

This app is useless to guide you around the MET museum, I’m deleting it immediately. Its primary function is to sell tours around NY and other locations. If you want a useful guide for the MET simply go to the MET website, their online map and audio guides are excellent.
