I ve downloaded my share of museum apps since I frequent many museums This is by far the best museum app I ve downloaded The best feature is indoor maps Enable WiFi you may need to connect to their WiFi and Bluetooth and the app will show you your location within the museum It will also guide you turn by turn to get to a specific exhibit area to a museum This is especially useful since the museum is cavernous and it s easy to get lost The tidbits of information about exhibits is neat too Love this app                     Best museum app bchin.herein
I got this app so I could at all costs STAY AWAY FROM THE BLUE WHALE MODEL Whales scare me so badly and I needed to know how I could stay as far away as possible from it But my family wanted to see it so I walked with them up to where the exhibit starts so I could not see it This app helped me know how close I was getting to it since it tracked my steps real time It was spot on accurate to my location in the museum I m rating it five stars since it saved me from having a heart attack in public Also the other stuff in the app works great                     Saved me from fear Cool peaplo
The newer version is not helpful I couldn t not use it to locate where I was or where things were in order to navigate the museum The paper map was better     Disappointed Racinggrl
This application is unique and it works different from other museum apps I have used Starting off the app asks you to select interests exhibits and areas in the museum you would like After that the app customizes your selection into a feed you can use to navigate Similar to News applications you can scroll up and down the feed and select content that you would most likely enjoy The content will most likely be a exhibit that would interest you such as Outer Space or the T Rex or big creatures The content presented is light on information but it works better as a bite size multimedia experience which in essence what many museum exhibits are You get a brief description of the subject facts about the subject images of the subject video clip presenting something related to the subject and maybe a multiple choice question related to the subject Content can also be shared with others and saved as a favorite The museum content feed can also be used to get information on other areas such as the gift shop bathrooms and dining areas The app works well as a source of learning from home as well as a guide when inside the museum When inside the historic museum the app can be used as a guide working off the many beacons installed so you can find a specific location or pinpoint where you are The app can also be used to purchase tickets making your experience that much easier From interactive content to sharp visuals easy menu design and resources included that will help manage your visit the Explorer American Museum of Natural History is well worth a download for current and potential visitors                 Explorer The American Museum of Natural History D. Hill
Filled in all the information and the confirm payment button does nothing Not really helpful if you want to get tickets ahead of time to skip the line Seems like a major mods for the app     Payments not working Duster_six
I ve tried to purchase tickets trough the app the app said error please try again After trying it for second time I ve gave up however my card was charged for both purchases     Unable to purchase tickets yet was charged the card Skeeve
This is hands down the most sensitive and effective location based museum app I ve used Works amazingly well on an iPhone 7 Down to the foot Find exhibits bathrooms and exits Link your tickets so they display electronically etc Get it                     Best iPhone 7 location services app Very_Annoyed
I am very pleasantly surprised with this app It is informative about the museum and caters to your specific interests Unlike most of the apps I ve seen for other museums the app is aesthetically pleasing and doesn t look out of date You have a strong 5 stars from me                     A great interactive app Argan0n
Easy to navigate but is on frozen mode since the visited the food page     This app got hung on the food page Sammy8286
This is what a museum app should be like                     Yes Serg.-
This app is great It s nice that it shows you nearby things that you might be interested in The ability to get step by step directions to anywhere you want really came in handy too                     Really useful LPodyssey07
That s all         Needs Apple Pay support BeatHappy
Plusses great facts helpful ticket system good directions when functional Negatives takes a while to load location avatour doesn t work they should add a feature that makes a to do list for your visit based on location budget schedule abilities interests and likes                 Ok clunky with possible improvements Creepy Monkey Boy
Also the storing of locations that you want to find does not match up with the actual map Finally just turned it off     Horrible can t find your location so gives bad directions Sonofagunk
Could not find any basic info on AMNH just cutesy suggestions for what to look for No hours no ticket prices no list of current exhibitions     Total waste Mad oak
If you are planning on visiting the American Museum of Natural History you should download this app Point by point navigation to all your favorite exhibits even the bathrooms and cafes Interactive features for the kids and suggestions if you have no idea where to start If you ve been here before you know this museum can be daunting so explorer is like a little guidebook right on your phone Ps You can also buy tickets on the app and bypass those long tourist lines it s a win win                     A Must Download That Guy that Reviews Apps
With images fun facts this app exceeded my expectations                     Fun useful NearlySun
We used this app during our visit and it was awesome It is user friendly and was very helpful Every museum needs to have this It made our visit memorable                     Time Saver bally63
This app is utterly useless     Useless Vedel78
By far my most favorite feature of this app is the indoor turn by turn directions It makes an otherwise stressful visit trying to figure out how to get where you want to go a very enjoyable one                     I wish every museum had an app like this revNickname41
The app is useful but back it up with a physical map of the museum if you re taking kids and trying to avoid emptying your wallet at every gift shop The app gives you directions to the exhibits But in structured steps so you can t see your whole route and only later realize you went the longest most foolish way possible structured to make you pass through every gift shop in the museum unnecessarily Also app relies on Bluetooth Which doesn t work at all in the exhibits you have no service in like the ocean hall             The long way through the gift shops LeFeeVerte
Map and directions worked perfectly for us Liked the extra info and general overview of exhibits Helped us choose where to go It would be nice if we could see planetarium and other showtimes in it                     Worked well Museum Goer
Missing some basic things The map makes me angry     Ridiculous Limeira_Brasil
Would be nice to have a search function and the latest exhibits             OK but missing some basics JZNYC
The AMNH Explorer app is a joke The location service within the museum does not work correctly In addition the information that the app has regarding the key exhibits in the museum is so basic limited 1 or 2 small paragraphs that you are left wondering why they even bother to promote the app If looks feels like the museum just wanted to say they have an app It provides little to no educational value     App is a joke DW59
I used this when I went to the museum Very good and accurate about your location but there were a few turns that sent us on the wrong direction meaning we sort of went in a circle but we did finally make it                 Helpful but aestheticshoe
I took my family to the museum and used this app to get around It works both as a preview of the exhibits as well as to give you more info while you re there The navigation and the experience is excellent and very easy to use Love it                     Excellent way finding An_acrostic
If I could give zero stars My wife and I both got errors that we weren t connected to the Internet then the infinite spinning wheel We were and obviously still are since I downloaded it 5 minutes ago And deleted it 4 minutes ago Their website is still pushing a non functional app What a shame since I plan to visit the museum this week     Doesn t work Duane Sutter
Tried it today it never even opened loaded Just gave me a message that I was offline and stayed stuck on an opening graphic I tried on data network and the museum s wifi     Never worked TheFishPen
It does not work     Does not work waste time sky ZZZ
From the moment I attempt to launch the app it notifies me that I have no internet connection which is impossible I am home where I have both cell service and wifi Does this app only work when your IN the museum It s super easy to just get a physical map at the museum and not waste cell battery but wanted to check it out TNHM being my favorite museum What is happening in my situation Answers invited     What app Liziebot
It keeps telling me i m offline when i m not Won t even start just gets stuck at loading screen too bad really wanted to use this     App thinks i m offline T1coLoco
Connect to the network but Cannot be located Worthless to find your way around I guess that the museum just doesn t care Been going on for a long time 29 per person to come here     App is terrible LabradorReba
I was looking forward to using this app for the highlights tour Regretfully the wifi signal inside the museum is so weak that the app wouldn t load     Useless Mutyi
I m such a fan of the museum and it s high quality exhibits so it s so disappointing that this app is broken AMNH please fix it     Great idea If it worked bernachonyum
AMNH has great apps associated with their exhibits I wish they would pay as much attention to this one As mentioned it can never locate users therefore not helpful in finding ones way around Exhibits listed to build a tour are not kept up to date If you are not sure if to are going to see an IMAX film or a Planetarium you can never find directions using program title Love the museum it deserves a far better App     Disappointing ubiquenyc
Add me to the list of those who found this app useless once inside the museum Not once was it able to find my location give directions from where I actually was It was far easier to use the paper map and to ask security guards docents for directions Come to think of it the signage in the museum itself is not particularly useful maybe whoever was responsible for signs had a hand in this app     Great idea if it worked Alphie G
App was a great way to plan the trip but was useless for navigating I connected to AMNH wifi but it never located me Instead navigated all day with a great paper map             Navigation feature not functionsl 4545Jack
and I have always made sure that i m connected to the AMNH public wifi But I still can never get a location fix A shame since AMNH is one of those museums that is really hard to find your way around in when you re trying to get to a specific place Still the app is a good reference and at least had good maps and exhibit information             Good reference can t get location to work darkclan
means terribly broken experience I used this app 4 years ago and found it amazing It helped to get the most of short 3 hour visit to the museum Today i downloaded the app even before i got the tickets The app is a fail The locator doesnt work After i spent like 30 minutes trying to understand where am i i realized the maps are not actual The visit to the museum was a huge disappointment as i couldnt find anything but tigers and elephats in 1 5 hours Thats how misuse of technology can kill other not seemingly related areas Do not rely on this app unless fixed get a paper guide     Terribly broken app Dccharacter
Not once was this app able to locate where I was in the museum so it s directions always start at the front doors which is of no use to me when I m lost in the museum         Disappointing Sessel22
Connect to the network but Cannot be located Worthless to find your way around I guess that the museum just doesnt care Been going on for a long time 29 per person to come here     App is terrible
Waste of time     Completely worthless
I went to the museum today an the app worked great It was so easy to get the wifi and the gps worked flawlessly I love that you can make your own tour and check off exhibits as you see them Even at home this is a great app Its fun to read up on the exhibits Such a fantastic app I could not be any happier with the quality performance or price                 Great Easy
Useless app     Never found my locationuseless
The app was able to find my location easily on a 4th gen iPod touch but it was missing a lot of information about exhibits For instance the only primate in the app is the Capuchin That doesnt help me learn about orangutans Also the treasure hunt section is awesome but there needs to be more Its a lot of fun to search for dinosaurs and learn about them           Needs update
I was actually using this on my brothers phone the last time we visited the museum SO happy they invested in something like this Smart move              Really nice interface design Beautiful app
The maps and gps features make navigating through the museum really easy                 Very useful
I could mot use the tour feature or the maps The app was unable to locate me     Disappointed
Very disappointed in this app It never located my position in the museum and the exhibits were out of date     Poor
It keeps telling me im offline when im not Wont even start just gets stuck at loading screentoo bad really wanted to use this     App thinks im offline
Worked perfectly an doesnt leave anything out                 Amazing
Navigation clearly needs work Example locator used museum wifi shows on the map that I am on one side of the building however the directions to the place on the same floor I want to get to are starting from a hall thats on the opposite side I ended up using paper map Would be nice to be able to simply highlight hallsexhibits on the map No such feature           Great idea but
The updated version is amazing The interface and responsiveness makes navigating the Museum easy and the tours are great                 Updates are great
both permanent and ongoing              Provides a nice overview to the museums exhibits
App was a great way to plan the trip but was useless for navigating I connected to AMNH wifi but it never located me Instead navigated all day with a great paper map           Navigation feature not functionsl
means terribly broken experience I used this app 4 years ago and found it amazing It helped to get the most of short 3 hour visit to the museum Today i downloaded the app even before i got the tickets The app is a fail The locator doesnt work After i spent like 30 minutes trying to understand where am i i realized the maps are not actual The visit to the museum was a huge disappointment as i couldnt find anything but tigers and elephats in 15 hours Thats how misuse of technology can kill other not seemingly related areas Do not rely on this app unless fixed get a paper guide     Terribly broken app
I was making a tour and I pressed done but then I went back to look at my tour but it was not on itit just said add tour fix the problum thats how it will get the next star other then that its great              my tours
GPSStyle Navigation via WiFi Connect to the museum WiFi and allow the app to guide you with realtime maps you are here Excellent functionality five stars                 WiFiBased Navigation
Add me to the list of those who found this app useless once inside the museum Not once was it able to find my location give directions from where I actually was It was far easier to use the paper map and to ask security guards docents for directions Come to think of it the signage in the museum itself is not particularly useful maybe whoever was responsible for signs had a hand in this app     Great idea if it worked
Im such a fan of the museum and its high quality exhibits so its so disappointing that this app is broken AMNH please fix it     Great idea If it worked
Totally useless Even with the amnh wifi on it could never find my location     Useless
I found this app to be completely useless while exploring the museum yesterday Trying to use the app to find specific exhibits failed every time First it couldnt find where I was in the museum even though other apps could so it tried to direct me from the front entrance Not very useful The maps also look nothing like the printed maps the museum hands out so I couldnt even manage to compare the maps to figure out where I waswhere I was trying to go     So broken
and I have always made sure that im connected to the AMNH public wifi But I still can never get a location fix A shame since AMNH is one of those museums that is really hard to find your way around in when youre trying to get to a specific place Still the app is a good reference and at least had good maps and exhibit information           Good reference cant get location to work
The explorer app is the perfect compliment to your visit of the American Natural History Museum in NYC I used it to find the exhibits I wanted to see and to find the restrooms and the exit I needed to use If I had had more time the tour app looked really great I definitely recommend this as a must have when you visit the museum                 Amazing app so helpful
From the moment I attempt to launch the app it notifies me that I have no internet connection which is impossible I am home where I have both cell service and wifi Does this app only work when your IN the museum Its super easy to just get a physical map at the museum and not waste cell battery but wanted to check it out TNHM being my favorite museum What is happening in my situation Answers invited     What app
If I could give zero stars My wife and I both got errors that we werent connected to the Internet then the infinite spinning wheel We were and obviously still are since I downloaded it 5 minutes ago And deleted it 4 minutes ago Their website is still pushing a nonfunctional app What a shame since I plan to visit the museum this week     Doesnt work
This is an amazing app It has what is needed to get around the museum Can you please add the museum hours info on the app                 Amazing app
I love this museum but this app is useless I couldnt find any of the exhibits that I wanted to visit via the search or index The museum hours werent included It could never find my location It didnt have many of the halls listed by name     Useless App
I took my family to the museum and used this app to get around It works both as a preview of the exhibits as well as to give you more info while youre there The navigation and the experience is excellent and very easy to use Love it                 Excellent way finding
Tried using this app yesterday at the museum My phone didnt have service in most of the museum however and the app needs wifi or data plan activity to work So Im not sure what the use of this app is     Without wifi in the AMNH this app is kinda useless
Good app to know about New York City Museum                 Amazing app
Best museum application ever Very helpful and easy to use                 Best museum application ever
I didnt have a phone signal and the museum wifi was at best spotty making this app useless     Disappointed
Saw a sign at the museum promoting the app and got excited and downloaded it immediately Between the atrocious museum wifi and the total lack of an ATT signal within the building I found this app tremendously disappointing worthless in practice The standard paper map was a million times faster for navigating by     Apparently Im missing something
And this app is unbelievably useful It is the best tour guide I have ever used It couldnt locate me inside the museum until I connected to the free wifi I had limited time so I took the Highlights tour with only six stops It felt like I saw every awesome exhibit in about an hour I want to come back just to use it more                 Connect to the free wifi
This is a great museum app that allows the user a more hands on experience by allowing customization of your trip choice of quick or extended guides on a exhibit and sharing of experience The app makes it easy to plan your trip around the museum by providing of a map of all the floors and guiding you to where you wanna go based off your location Users can find anything from the app where exhibits theaters food shops and restrooms The app is great also for those who arent at the museum and want an idea of what the place offers Users can read brief details about exhibits view galleries and even bookmark content to go back to later The design of the app whether you are talking about the dark background which is easy to read off of or how it is structured so navigation comes easy is given great thought It helps make the user experience that much pleasurable This is without doubt one of the better museum applications              Explorer
It does not work     Does not work waste time
This app enhanced the museum experience for my 12 year old son very much If you are going to the museum with kids who are surrounded by technology this will keep them engaged in the diverse exhibits                 Must have 6 stars
I used this when I went to the museum Very good and accurate about your location but there were a few turns that sent us on the wrong direction meaning we sort of went in a circle but we did finally make it              Helpful but
Content needs to be updated Needs retina support Needs iPhone 5 support     Needs update
The AMNH Explorer app is a joke The location service within the museum does not work correctly In addition the information that the app has regarding the key exhibits in the museum is so basic limited 1 or 2 small paragraphs that you are left wondering why they even bother to promote the app If looks feels like the museum just wanted to say they have an app It provides little to no educational value     App is a joke
Accurate helpful and fun                 Extremely helpful
I was looking forward to using this app for the highlights tour Regretfully the wifi signal inside the museum is so weak that the app wouldnt load     Useless
Would be nice to have a search function and the latest exhibits           OK but missing some basics

It was my first trip to the museum and I was so overwhelmed About halfway threw my trip I thought they might have an app Using the museums free wifi I downloaded it It was fantastic I loved the turn by turn directions and the explanations about the exhibits were great especially when the exhibit was crowded                 Totally Awesome
Great app if I wasnt trying to use the GPS feature to help me figure out how to get places Problem was it couldnt find me anywhere I tried it LTE 3G top floor bottom floor didnt make a difference Verizon issue maybe Dunno But it is pretty nifty otherwise Would have gotten five stars if it worked And yes location settings were on              Cannot find location Anywhere
I tried to us the app today but it could never find my location On top of that the info on the exhibits was out of date An exhibit that I found in the app was no longer at the museum As a Cisco employee I was disappointed to find out that the location service used Cisco technology that did not work     Worthless app
Not once was this app able to locate where I was in the museum so its directions always start at the front doors which is of no use to me when Im lost in the museum        Disappointing
Tried it today it never even openedloaded Just gave me a message that I was offline and stayed stuck on an opening graphic I tried on data network and the museums wifi     Never worked
