MoMA Audio App Reviews

The app is now working. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of MoMa. The most amazing feature is that you can take your earbuds with you to MoMa and tune into all of the info on each exhibit. You have access to all schedules: exhibits, events and movies. An outstanding app.

Unlike the previous 1-star reviews, this has worked perfectly for me on my iPhone today. To improve and help form a community of users who also enjoy MoMA/PS1 (ideally as due-paying members like myself), there can be ratings and comments sections for each exhibit, as well as a Login option for members with extra goodies. Great app for free!

I cant believe how robust this apps content is! Its a treat to have these quality images and artist bios literally at my fingertips - I like exploring the work of artists with whom I was previously unfamiliar, while also revisiting my favorites. This app makes MoMAs collection available to anyone, anywhere, with excellent, easy-to-navigate functionality. And its free!

This app is an incredible resource. Not only can you learn about MoMA and the paintings and shows it has on view (and listen to the audio guide for free!) but you can also browse an expansive encyclopedia of artists and art terms. Its a great accompaniment to a visit to MoMA but also a great app for looking at and learning about art for free!

This is by far one of the best apps out there! So impressive and incredibly informative, I have no complaints :)

moma is a building filled with great ideas, and this app is another one. the ability to get audio on any exhibit, using your own headphones, is a perfect convergence of technology and art. a few things would push this app over the top (i hope they read these reviews, as theres no obvious place on the site for pal feedback): 1. better execution: there were a few sections of the audio tour that didnt play when we saw the cindy sherman exhibit, and chapter 605 was out of order so we missed it. 2. would be great if images of the artwork could come onscreen when the narrator is speaking about them. there are dozens of paintings in each room, and a thumbnail image would help you quickly find the specific work within the gallery. 3. bonus suggestion: add a welcome screen to the app, and post a notice at the audio desk in the museum, that reminds people to CONNECT WITH MOMA WI-FI while going through the galleries. the app requires a solid network connection to work well and many of the galleries dont get strong cell signals. definitely a good app, worth downloading. moma is amazing.

I pushed something about making art and now I am trapped! It allows you to take a picture and make some art (?) but the DONE button doesnt do anything. Im just stuck in limbo. Other than that I love the idea of this app and the content is amazing for an iPhone app. I cant wait to be able to use it in the museum.

Works as-advertised, and is much faster than using their website on a mobile browser. Recommended!

Using that function locks up the app tighter than a Windows OS failure. Otherwise a delightful app.

Spent a fun 15 minutes trying to get this app to unfreeze over an expensive museum lunch. Paper map is better.

Great idea, but the execution is terrible. Only app I regularly use that freezes frequently. Also, why cant it play audio in the background like all my other apps? Menu structure is annoying as well. Frequently after listening to an entry you get propelled back several menu levels. Free is great and the reason I gave it the score I did. Please just clean it up a bit. I think my $25 admission should cover done of the cost.

I only found this for NY, will one be made to work with the SF location? Thx u

Its a free app and tells me everything I want to know while Im visiting the museum

Its free!!!!

This app could be awesome if they fixed the bugs. It keeps crashing when I listen to an audio tour and often will not recognize the audio number. As it stands right now Im glad I didnt pay for it!

This is a great application that tells me everything I need to know about the museum. Support for the larger iPhone 5 screen would be nice though. Also, it would be cool if ticket holders and members could enter the museum using the passbook app. Just an idea. Keep up the good work!

This is an excellent app for getting to know the Museum in person, or from afar - its just that it uses a *ton* of iPhone space, and I eventually had to delete it for that reason. Ill use it again before visiting, to check out what I want to see. Certainly worth the download to check it out and a very well-done app.

This app is very useful to those who have a love and passion for art. It has so many features from vocabulary terms to artists bios to virtual tours of the museum! To top it off its free! Pretty amazing! Not to mention very useful for the day you finally decide to plan a visit to the actual museum!

It tells you everything you need to know, from the film schedule and hours to info on each individual collection. A must have if youre an art lover.

Cant count on it at all. Falls every 10 minutes, eating my battery. Better to take audio guide on ground floor.
