Ratings and reviews

Did not function for any of the tours. We had three phones trying to run the app while aboard the USS Iowa, 2 users couldn't get to any of the tours, while I managed to get of the tours to work. However, none of the audio files would play anything at the few stations that sort of worked. So, we deleted the app and went old school: reading the signage and listening to the docents. Great museum, frustrating app.

Very disappointing app. Doesn't support using an earbud or headset, and insists that you hold the phone up to your ear, which is awkward and won't let you take photos. Pauses constantly and won't play at loud enough volume to hear. Freezes repeatedly and can't keep track of where you are on the ship. The USS Alabama app is simple, but far more functional.

Gets me lost. I was better off without it. It was difficult to navigate with this app. Couldn't find things on the map they were describing, or wasn't sure if I was at the right place. I uninstalled it right away!
