Not Loading

Only an error.

App wonโ€™t load

Upon opening the app, it just shows an error and asks you to restart it. This is very unfortunate.

Content never loads

On launch, the app tries to download its content from a server, but the content never downloads. No point in getting this app, I guess.

Very useful

This app is set up very well. I think that splitting up the home page into categories is a very good idea, because it makes it way easier to search and find things youโ€™re truly interested in. I also like how the floor and section of any particular site is listed on the app, so you can know where to find certain things when you visit the actual museum.

The videos are great. I donโ€™t know if those same videos are displayed at the museum, but theyโ€™re very cool to watch. Itโ€™s almost like having a tour guide on your phone, ready to share their knowledge about an exhibit. It did take a considerable amount of time for the app to load at first, but it was bearable, and understandable, since the app has to load all of those pictures and sound/video files. I think that the โ€œReactionsโ€ system is really neat, especially since it allows users to add additional reactions to the page, on top of just choosing one.

It may be possible that looking at a picture of an artifact on a phone may take away from the experience of seeing it in person, but it also might motivate someone to go visit and see for themselves everything thatโ€™s in the app. I would definitely recommend this app, especially for museum lovers.
