What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"School made me download"
Gaius Leuning
"The audio tour is quite good while (currently) quite limited in scope. But the app itself leaves much to be desired, it seems that every time you open the app or switch language the app downloads all the audio files to your phone. Besides that there seems to be no way to search for an art piece using a code or just the name. Just use the site of the Mauritshuis itself it is way better "tour [dot] Mauritshuis [dot] nl" and select language."
