SFMOMA audio

Very frustrating to use because its synching via Bluetooth with my headphones was erratic, and most of the time didn't work. Deleting the app and then downloading it anew seemed to fix the problem, but only for a while. Eventually I discovered that the audio was being delivered to the the tiny speaker at the top of the phone, used in normal cell-phone communication mode. No other app I have that uses audio has behaved this way. (iPhone 12 pro max)

Terrible App, No Headphone Support?

An audio guide app that doesn’t support headphones. I guess I’m expected to just walk around with my phone speaker blasting the audio guide to other guests? Or just hold my phone to my face for 3 hours. What a ridiculous decision.

Great app

Works great with Lightning cable earphones. Yes sorry for the throwback. I brought them along just in case having seen the complaining re inability to use Bluetooth earphones. The volume was fine with the cable earphones. I can understand the supposed low-volume so as to not bother other museum visitors if holding iPhone to ones ears. Minus one star because of the circular redundancy in the app.

I Can Help With the Headphone Issue!

Even though the app has a new version, it's great! I think we have to get used to the changes, which might take some bits of time.

I can explain how to use wireless headphones on the app. First, go to "Settings", and then tap "Audio Prefrences". Next, tap the built in speaker option, and then connect your headphones. If you already connected you headphones, you have got a bit of a headstart!

I really hope this works for you and other users!
