### 1/5 — Application : une bonne idée mal réalisée

*2025-01-04*

L’idée d’une app servant d’audio-guide était excellente. Malheureusement l’app est vraiment mal fichue :
- le parcours est incompréhensible, le contenu mal séparé dans les différentes sections
- difficile de repérer les objets apparaissant dans l’app - malgré les minuscules pictogrammes - et surtout de les trouver 
- le contenu est léger et gagnerait à approfondir les sujets, c’est justement ce qu’on attend d’un audio guide

### 1/5 — Deux apps sur le store pour le même musée… bientôt 3 ?!…

*2024-05-07*

Deux applications de Paris Musées dans Apple Store pour Carnavalet. L’une sans mise à jour depuis 6 mois, l’autre sans mise à jour depuis 5 ans… c’est tout juste incroyable ! Peut-être une troisième dans les semaines à venir ? 😉

**Developer response:** Bonjour,

L’application gratuite " Musée Carnavalet" est l'application de visite du musée. Elle est régulièrement mise à jour avec de nouveaux contenus. Par exemple, ce mois-ci, un parcours « Paroles Parisiennes » a été rajouté. Vous pouvez le consulter sans nécessité de mise à jour technique via le store. Les contenus de l'application sont régulièrement ajustés selon vos commentaires, mais n’hésitez pas à nous signaler toute erreur ou élément qui vous paraît non conforme.

L’application gratuite « Pas à pas » est l'application hors les murs du musée Carnavalet. Elle a été publiée lors des travaux du musée Carnavalet, il y a 5 ans, pour donner numériquement accès aux collections du musée (alors inaccessible au public pendant la période de fermeture du musée). Elle continue d'offrir gratuitement un parcours piéton dans la Ville de Paris, et va bénéficier d'une mise à jour technique pour une améliorer son affichage aux mobiles récents.

Cordialement

### 2/5 — Appli decevante

*2023-10-10*

Les explications sont intéressantes bien qu’assez courte mais elle ne sont disponibles que pour une portion de oeuvres.
Le gros problème est l’interface non-intuitive et surtout le fait qu’il faille chercher l’oeuvre dans la liste et que c’est assez fastidieux.
Un système de QR code (+ visible que les petits symboles smartphone) et/ou un outil de recherche permettrait d’être + concentré sur la collection que sur l’application…

**Developer response:** Bonjour. L’application propose des parcours thématiques variés afin de découvrir les collections. Nous vous invitons à en choisir un et à découvrir les œuvres proposées dedans, afin de ne pas avoir à faire de recherches inversées. Nous prenons en compte vos retours pour nos prochains développements. A bientôt, l’équipe Paris Musées.

### 3/5 — Great start!

*2022-07-07*

Awesome app to have but could use a few improvements like closed captions or a transcript of the audio file for accessibility purposes. Also allowing the screen to lock without stopping the audio would be helpful too.

### 3/5 — Collection permanente

*2022-02-04*

Les objets à voir dits «  incontournables » ne sont pas situés ds le plan du musée : regrettable.

### 1/5 — Audio files won’t work

*2021-09-08*

I just downloaded this app but the audio files associated with each object do not work - the interface seems to lack a ‘play’ button!?
