Ratings and reviews

I couldn't make the feature work where you 'scan' works of art to find out more about them. Nor did the app contain a map of the museum, which would have been useful.

Image scan does not work. It is very hard to navigate the app while in the museum. Overall, not very useful as a guide while visiting

This app is very slow and not easy to navigate at all. It needs to be updated and explained more.
