### 2/5 — Needs Update

*2016-05-30*

Good basic information, but needs to be updated.  (The Whitney moved from Madison Avenue some time ago!)

### 3/5 — Great idea, could use an update

*2016-05-15*

Whitney has moved, 5 Pointz is gone to name just 2

### 1/5 — Incorrect information

*2016-03-07*

The app says the Whitney is closed on Mondays. It's not. How useless can you get?

I deleted it.

### 4/5 — New York Museum Guide

*2015-12-02*

This is a great application designed for those seeking out museums of all kinds. The app categorizes the museums by content so users can search by what they are interested in. The app displays art, history, culture, science and kids museums. Each museum provides a brief description of its history and purpose as well as its operation hours, price of admission and its location. At the bottom of each museum page there also is a map with a pin on the museum's location so if you need directions it is only a click away. For those unfamiliar or a bit more curious about a museum the top menu of each page has a Wikipedia link and an official site link. For those who are using an iPhone and want to quickly connect with the museum there is a phone call icon as well. Each page also allows you to bookmark the museum. 
The design of the application itself is sleek, modernistic with a colorful and easy to navigate interface. This app is highly recommended for those seeking culture in the state.

### 1/5 — WAY OUT OF DATE

*2015-08-06*

Be careful. I almost scheduled a trip to an exhibit that's been closed for months.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2015-07-25*

Last item in list not visible. Bottom menu blocking access

### 5/5 — Great app but needs update

*2015-04-17*

This is a great app but it hasn't been updated in 2 years. Can it be updated please?

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-12-21*

Missing the outer borough.
Not mentioned on this app:
Bronx Zoo
New York Botanical Garden and Library
Bronx County Historical Society/Valentine-Varian House
Wave Hill and the Glyndor Gallery
City Island Nautical Museum
Andrew Freedman Home
Van Cortlandt House Museum
Barlow-Pell Mansion Museum
Derfner Judaica Museum

### 2/5 — Lacking sharing features

*2014-09-17*

Can't see a way to save info out of the app about a place you want to go. No link sharing, no messaging, no emailing, no launching maps, no tapping on something to create a calendar event or reminder. If you see something, looks like you need to copy the info out in longhand to get it out of the app, dramatically lowering the usefulness of it being digital, hard to tell other people about something interesting or get it on a list of places you want to go with relevant info.

### 2/5 — Needs an update badly

*2014-09-08*

Great LIST of museums. But very out of date so it's pretty useless. The design is wonderful and easy to use so if it was updated it would be awesome I'm sure. But that's all it really is. A list of museums with an option to favorite them. For example the Harry Potter Exhibit is listed as a museum. It hasn't been at Discovery Times Square in like a year.
