Does not work
Even if you pre-download all of the content this does not work in most galleries. Museum employee told us the Wi-Fi is poor throughout the museum. Don’t waste your time and money.

British Museum Audio Reviews
Horrible app
The app took forever to load and constantly malfunctioned. The wifi network dedicated to the app was down. It would be much better if the app allowed you to download the audio clips instead of trying to stream them inside the museum.
Audio cuts out or doesn’t play
We downloaded the top 10 audio track. Sometimes the audio plays but quickly stops playing. Then you can’t hear anything anymore. I have only been able to hear about 10% of the audio content. We are on the museum Wi-Fi. The content is not pre-buffered. The museum is packed today. So maybe on a quiet day, this app might work better.
This had so much potential. It’s a waste of data and time.
The paid tours are just random items it takes you too. No cohesion. Each of the features doesn’t provide any additional information than what is printed there already. Usually it provides less. I was hoping this would expand upon the experience of this museum, but it was very dissatisfying. Also the Musuem has slow wifi and bad cell coverage so things load slowly and then glitch because it doesn’t preload the audio and images before playing.
Can’t download inside Museum
This is a horrible app
Do not download!!!!
This is by far the worst app I have ever had the misfortune of downloading, the tours they have not only cost money but when you do buy them they are poorly made and not at all informative or interesting, they sound the like the tour for every boring museum ever! It is waste of time and space on your phone.
Poor audio tour
Very confusing audio your. Many items not currently on display. Disappointed
Terrible App
If you’re looking to find out anything about the collection, don’t waste your time with this app. There’s precious little information to be found and everything seems to be behind a paywall. Seems appropriate that a culture that stole artifacts from cultures around the world would stoop to a cheap money grab.
Worst museum app I’ve ever used
Purchased the tours package, took the 10 Highlights tour and I was confused as it doesn’t guide you where to go next. Had to leave the tour section to head to the map section and then restart from there. There’s poor reception in some areas of the museum and the tour would not run, not even using the museum’s free wifi. Very frustrating.
Did not work well
Downloaded and paid for the app before arriving. Connected to WiFi when I arrived and the app did not play anything! I think the cell service and the WiFi was too weak for the app to work, it was so frustrating! I used the map, but it would have been easier to use a paper map. This app had zero use for us!
