Brutal app and severely outdated
The entire Gilder center is not on the map. Impossible to find your way to crocodiles. Everyone was staring at their all and looking for a human for help.

How does Explorer know where you are? The Museum has placed more than 700 Bluetooth beacons throughout its 45 permanent halls. These tiny beacons give off signals that your phone can detect (when Bluetooth is enabled). Your phone calculates your position based on detecting three of these beacons simultaneously. This triangulation is not always perfect, especially in certain areas like large, multi-level halls, meandering walkways, or stairwells. Your phone should be able to detect the hall that you are in and provide turn-by-turn directions, but sometimes the “blue dot” is not exactly in the right place. In some rare cases it will even be missing. Moving to another area and waiting a few moments will usually fix the issue.
The Museum’s free AMNH-GUEST Wi-Fi also varies in strength throughout the complex. Certain materials and large exhibits (i.e. the Blue Whale) either absorb or reflect the radio signals used by Wi-Fi, further complicating this technology. If you experience difficulty connecting to Wi-Fi in a particular part of the Museum, you can usually fix the issue by moving a short distance away.

Constant crashes
Tried to use today, downloaded when we got there. Crashed 4-5 times, very frustrating. While the idea of telling you where you are and how to get to places just didn’t work. At one point the app told us to go downstairs. Got tot the bottom and told us next directions where to go back up stairs. I used the museum wifi and still lacked ability to direct you. Overall a fail
Very useful!
Helped us a lot on our travels, the Bluetooth location feature is ingenious!
Nothing works
Never able to find your location
Waste of time
I spent about 30 min waiting for this ap to run and all it did was was give me the spinning clocking indicator. They have free wifi on site which runs great but the ap was useless to me.
State-of-the-Art Pocket Guide!
This app is a must-have when visiting the museum! It is filled with easy to use maps, a list of popular museum exhibits, pre-planned tours of varying durations and more. Using the museum's free wi-fi service, the app can locate you in the museum and give you step-by-step directions to get wherever you want to go.
