Visit Trinity

If you buy a ticket to the Book of Kells Experience in advance, the system now sends you a suggestion to bring your own headphones along, which is the only reason I did, so I at least appreciate that. But according to their own materials, the app is supposed to trigger audio when you get near a relevant point and on my iPhone that never once happened. There are also no signs telling you when you’ve reached an audio point (as is typical at museums/sites with audio guides) so it took me at least ten minutes in the extremely crowded exhibition before I realized it was completely up to me to regularly check the app to try to figure out if I was at an audio point. The content itself is good (albeit not as in-depth as I personally would have expected) but even with noise-canceling AirPods, I had to turn the volume to maximum and still sometimes had difficulty hearing as there were fellow visitors listening to the audio guide on speakerphone and no staff ever asked them to stop.

Could of been a little more transparent on the 90% of books not currently being displayed. Not that granger moment when entering the space with 10% of the books missing.

Came to Ireland, part of our experience was to see the book of Kells. 90% of the books were out due to cleaning, but it was not stated that that would be the fact during our tour. We paid full price for a ticket and we’re very disappointed. Would not recommend at the moment.

This app works well enough but is ideal for use with headphones. The exhibit is crowded so if you don’t have headphones you’ll be tempted to hold it to your ear and will inadvertently pause the audio or play a different stop. It would’ve been better if these controls were positioned lower on the screen so your ear doesn’t hit one of the controls when you’re trying to listen.

Audio guide was outstanding. Gave my wife one of my blue tooth ear devices and we both listened off my phone. Not hurried to get through the exhibit, but it was very crowded.

10/10 I was skeptical at first after seeing the numerous 1 star reviews. Not the case AT ALL! Like the book of Kells itself, this app was near perfect, a work of art if I do say so myself. Cheers🤪🤑

Excellent content and I had no problem with the application. I appreciated the education provided. Thank you!

I don’t know why there are so many negative reviews. My sister and I both downloaded and used this app with no problems while visiting Trinity College and during the Book of Kells tour. Also there is wifi inside where the Book of Kells is. You might wanna download the app before you arrive but it is not a necessity.

Are there any reviews where it is good? Don’t waste your time. Amazing they can’t design a simple app to play an audio stream. Call rick steeves please.

Doesn't work at all. Tap play to listen and nothing happens. Waste of my time and a tour.
