MoMA Audio App Reviews

Makes listening to audio tour very frustrating.

The app is extremely hard to navigate. I once clicked on to zoom in a painting and there was no back button to go back, lol! Moma folks should check out the Guggenheim app if they want to see how it is done.

It would help to know what floor the exhibits are. Thanks a bunch.

Museum entrance fee is 25$ and these guys cant make an app with a screen for iphone 5!

Would have a better, more up to date app. I very rarely post reviews, but if youre listening, please provide an iO7 update.

This app works well for background and anecdotes on selected works while youre at MoMA. But its also good to go back and review what youve seen, or preview what youll see during your next visit. Nicely done.

This app is a great way to familiarize yourself with current and upcoming exhibitions, events & films at MoMA. The only thing that seems to be missing from the exhibition listings: the location/floor of exhibitions within the museum itself.

I love everything about this app! The collections are very well organized and the navigation is very intuitive. The short audio commentary on each piece is a wonderful addition as well. What a great way to explore the MoMA collection!

This is a wonderful app for art afficiandos as well as novices. The history given for each piece as well as the audio commentary are very helpful. (I wish it had been available when I studied Art History in college!) You can immediately find the location of the work by using the Locate>Show on Map feature. You can take a tour, and browse the collection (by location, chronologically, by department or by artist). Everything needed to plan a visit is available through the app, too, including hours of operation, admission fees, separate guidelines for film offerings, and the calendar of events. Theres even a handy section with tips for guests visiting with children. Ill use this app not only to plan my MoMA visit during my next visit to New York, but also for mere enjoyment from my armchair. Id have just one suggestion, which would be to enable screen rotation when viewing a piece to better view those in landscape layout. All in all, this is a terrific app!

Really well done app. Would be great to have at the museum, but is wonderful to explore now that I dont get to New York as often as Id like.

This app offers a nice way to visit the museum from afar or to plan a trip there. Thanks Moma.

its like being there - so convenient

It would be nice if personal membership details could be accessed so we could access our card info.

As a companion whilst in, or even outside of the museum. Informative and educational. Would love the ability to add past photographs to the in-app gallery.

The audio was unusable during a recent visit. Performance was the same using both the museums wifi and my phones wireless service. When I tried to listen later in the day at home experienced the same halting playback. Too frustrating to bother with.

Awesome but how can I change the language??

So clearly this app is designed to be used on the museum-issued iPods that are set to never auto-lock. One easy change you can make to your phone to make the experience more enjoyable is to increase your auto-lock time as well because this app does not allow the audio to continue when the app is minimized or your phone is asleep. It makes no sense that you should need to keep your screen on, considering there is not much to look at. I also experienced problems with laggy playback, but it was an incredibly busy day at the museum so maybe thats to blame? Definite room for simple improvements.

Although the audio advanced, no sound actually played. Frustrating.

I love the flat style icon style in the new update instead of the outdated textured overlay in the iTunes Store. However, we still get the old icon when downloading the update.

"Sign In" never takes you to a sign-in screen, always to a newsletter sign up. "Skip this step" boots you back out to the top. Rest of the app doesnt seem very well supported, either.
