User reviews

The privacy policy is more confronting than any of the art

Adds no function that could not be achieved through privacy respecting means. Pay walling access via personal data. Well played.

Good app but could be better

I had a hard time trying to find the app, why don’t just name it MONA or even better the “Monapp”. Anyway, the discovery button is great, easy to find things around you. However, when searching for specific things the app prompts you with the info, but doesn’t say where are they located or how to get there.

So good

this app is so good, it’s so good for students when going on an excursion to Mona, and it’s more fun then just the usual didactics.

The map needs a “breadcrumb” feature

Hi there the app is mostly really good. It presents really well but the map needs some refinement. In particular. It needs a breadcrumb feature so you can retrace your steps especially now you’ve got Elektra and Phrontisterion. Thanks

Disappointed (AI narration in an art museum…)

MONA is such a brilliant collection of art. The reliance on a smartphone to experience it is incredibly disappointing. Most of us want to be off our phones and experiencing life instead you are forced to be glued to it to read anything about the art. I was further angered by the listen function thinking I could wander around and put my phone down but the listen function is AI narrated! I was livid. Do better MONA, small signs for all artworks and pay a voice actor to narrate your app.
