Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC

Downloaded, saw the nothing offered in the app but descriptions of who donated some collections, a bunch of ads, offers for non-Met NYC attractions? And then it crashed. This can't be an official app...

If you’re interested in most anything about NYC EXCEPT the Met Museum of Art, this app was built for you. For those of us who are actually looking to use the museum, this has nothing to offer. Just head to the museum and enjoy. Leave the phone in your pocket and this app in the App Store. It’s not even worth the free it costs.

I never grow tired of visiting this remarkable place.

The developers really phoned this one in. They thought to provide hotel search functions, maps of unrelated cities, and generic tourist info for NYC, but the app (which is supposedly dedicated to the Met Museum) lacks properly-labeled maps of the actual museum! Forget the luxuries of real-time tracking or locations of temporary exhibitions, this app lacks even the most rudimentary map details. No wing identification, no room numbers, not even a differentiation between floors! Just a schematic of the walls on the main floor. To have any hope of navigating the beautiful and expansive museum with intent, you’ll have to use a paper map, costing the museum money and creating needless waste. But hey, the app includes city maps of Chicago and Los Angeles for some reason, so I guess that makes it all ok in the end.

The app is so busy with a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with the museum experience. Can’t find anything about exhibits like the degas virtual line. Useless.

This is a travel app disguising as a guide to a museum

That you cannot recycle Unclear how this app is on the app store with a 4.1 rating. It's not useful for the met -- shows one page about each collection and advertisements for tours and hotels. Please remove from the app store.

No useful info, many crashes. Trash

This app lacks essential information such a floor plan to the MET. It seems to just be a front for sponsors. Not really a guide to the museum. It was not useful to me.

even as professional in the field, i still got confused by the app name, installed and signed up. but it wasn’t what i was looking for. personally i appreciated the author’s effort, and understood the reasons. but it did wasted my time.
