Latest reviews of Gallery Explorer app for iPhone and iPad
Vero nice app with a lot of very innovative and helpful features! I have really appreciate the tour and the possibility to choose from different tours!
Apple once touted their products to be at the intersection of the arts and technology, and this app is a shining example of how it should be done. Very excited to use the indoor way finding feature and connect with friends of the arts community through the gallery social network. Museums of the world, time to get on with the times!
I wish all museums in the world would provide its visitors with a free app like this to be able to enjoy and appreciate the history and value of art pieces and museum facilities. I really dislike when I have to pay for a crapy earphoned visit to a museum. This app is free, and its good!!!
