### 2/5 — Tolle Idee, aber nicht in allen Sprachen verfügbar

*2020-09-12, version 1.0.20*

Habe die App in Skagen und Aarhus im Museum versucht zu verwenden. Sie funktioniert gut, bloß die Beschreibungen in deutscher Sprache sind sehr rar bzw. nicht vorhanden. Schade.

### 1/5 — Hilfreich, aber nicht ausgereift!

*2019-08-08, version 1.0.8*

Als ich am 05.08.2019 rein zufällig, weil nirgends angeboten oder bekannt gemacht, die App im Skagen Kunst Museum auf meinem iPhone installiert hatte, war die Freude nur halb so gross, wie ich ich hoffte. Bei etlichen Bilder wurde nicht der deutsche Text sondern der dänische angezeigt. Es wurde in den Besichtigungsstätten in Skagen nicht ein einziges Mal auf die App auf Aushängen oder durch das Personal hingewiesen.

Auf meinem iPad stürzt die App nach dem Start sofort wieder ab.
