Great Ap!
Used this yesterday during a trip to the museum and found it extremely helpful. Had no problem with free wifi and loved the "GPS" feature showing my location on the floor maps...I will use this whenever I visit, which is often, as it is a terrific museum even without children.
So useful, and works like a dream
Used this all day at AMNH, and what a breeze. The printed maps are always very general or not always current, and this app not only gives directions by most popular, by hall, and alphabetically, it gives pictures and information (plus you can check off what you've seen). With 4 floors of exhibits, shops, and food, we used this app almost nonstop. I don't understand how some other users could have such critical complaints - all you have to do is follow the instructions given on the tutorial (use the museum's free wi-fi, accept the tems at Safari - and that's it - took all of, oh, 15 seconds to be set for the day). No problems at all, and it's free and up to date - love it - thank you very much.
This rocks
Thatz my word this app rocks even the direction are on point this is one app to rock P.S this app works best with wi-fi
