Pros and cons of Guggenheim app for iPhone and iPad
Guggenheim app good for
Lots of things to explore, read, listen to, watch and play with. I like that you can take audio tours for free, and that you can browse the whole collection right in the app. Handy to have the museum maps as well. Well done, thanks!
What a wonderful tool to not only tour the exhibition but to learn
about the background of Gutai. Loved the curators videos and hearing all about setting up the exhibition!
Some bad moments
This used to be one of my favorite apps, not anymore. After the new update the app started to display a new screen where you can adjust the settings. But i can never go past that new screen in my iphone 5. As soon as I hit Done, the app crashes. Pls fix it!
Lots of additional downloads necessary but a really great looking app. Tons of information. Smooth interface. Still a bit buggy (crashed a few times) but tons of potential
Downloading something so large when it doesnt explain its purpose is rather annoying. Them after it asks for a smaller download. Why not do all at one? Or why ask me again if I already agreed to the larger one? Just do both.
That said the app is gorgeous and rich with content. The navigation and symbols easy to understand and the art is stunning. A great companion to a great museum.
Maybe some of the subject matter should make it 17+, but theres great art content for kids here on one exhibition (more coming?). Shared it with my kids and they loved it and it prompted family discussions in the museum! Keep em coming.
Youd think that a museum app would be something that visitors can download quickly and use. Not at the Guggenheim.
Wont download multiple devices. Need to debug. Tx glorious museum!
