Pros & Cons

  • Bluetooth-enabled synchronization with ArtLens Wall and interactive exhibits for real-time information.
  • Real-time content updates across the app and CMA backend to ensure accuracy.
  • Six core features (Search, Explore, Map, Favorites, Tours, ArtLens Gallery) support a cohesive on-site and at-home experience.
  • Favorites let users save and quickly access preferred artworks across contexts.
  • No explicit audio guides or offline mode listed in the data.
  • Content is CMA-specific; competitors may offer broader museum networks and cross-museum guides.
  • Permissions are not listed in the data, so some safety expectations (e.g., access to location, storage) cannot be verified from the provided info.

Comments on ArtLens for Android

★★★★★ A Google User · Jun 8, 2014
Great app for a great institution Thanks for showing Android devices some love with this app. Nice tool to use with the exhibits.
★★★★☆ A Google user · Nov 21, 2017
Immersive, informative way to tour the museum by yourself! The actual Artless exhibit was underwhelming and the app occasionally crashes, but overall I love the layout, information, and ability to favorite items from the collection.
★★★★★ Lysesses Dolls · Dec 30, 2015
Loved the app. I had to uninstall because I just don't have the room on my phone. I'll most likely download again n again though. Loved it! ❤
★★☆☆☆ Alvaro Martinez B · Oct 15, 2022
The idea is very fun, but it crashes. I couldn't get to use it after the loading screen
★☆☆☆☆ Vinny Tony · Feb 22, 2016
Couldn't even get it... First off, there is no signage anywhere to let you know about this app. I kept seeing "Artless" by select pieces. That must be an app, I thought. Checked. Started to download...realized it was big, so I canceled. Jumped on the free Wi-Fi and tried again. As someone said, I'm halfway through my visit at this point. Would not download on the Wi-Fi. Crashed at least 3 times. Many similar complaints so it's not just me. I have a pretty high-end phone too. #fail
★☆☆☆☆ Donald Beard · May 24, 2016
Artless 2.0 Found no way to back out of the app with the Android back arrow. Have to "kill" app - to shut it down. Artless 1.0 was WAY better! Run on Nexus 6 with Android 6.0.1-May security patches.

Description by The Cleveland Museum of Art Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Turn your smartphone into a pocket guide to the Cleveland Museum of Art with the new and reimagined ArtLens App. Use the app as a companion within the museum, or as a way to explore from home. Download before arriving, plan your visit, and browse tours. While visiting, use the interactive map as a guide to navigate the museum, and keep track of your favorite artworks and gain in-depth information about every object on view. The ArtLens App uses Bluetooth technology to connect to the museum’s iconic ArtLens Wall and ArtLens Gallery interactives, and updates in real-time ensuring that users have access to the most accurate information available.

The ArtLens App features six main categories:

1. Search

Search the CMA's collection by artist name, artwork title, and accession number to discover works on view in the museum. Here you can find a scrollable list of featured artists and popular artworks.


2. Explore

Homepage that provides a snapshot of everything the ArtLens app has to offer and allows for quick access to dive deeper. Discover today's museum hours, popular artworks on view, get answers to your questions, and more.


3. Map

· Galleries are color-coded and grouped thematically to facilitate easier navigation. Tap any gallery number to see a gallery description and all artworks in that gallery.

· Wayfinding: Push the “Find Me” button at any time to find your exact location in the museum.

· Content: Includes every artwork on view, including more than 1,500 videos, available for selected artworks. Changes to any object on view are dynamically and immediately updated from the backend systems across the app and throughout the museum.

· Filter for restrooms, elevators, and exits.

· Bluetooth: ArtLens App uses Bluetooth to connect to ArtLens Wall and all interactives in ArtLens Exhibition, making synchronization seamless.


4. Favorites

Favorited artworks on the Wall and the App and artworks played in ArtLens Exhibition interactives are automatically saved in "Favorites.” Favorites can be used to learn more, find specific artworks, or share on social media.


5. Tours

Select from "All," "Featured," "Guided," and Visitor-Created" tours in the ArtLens App. The mapping feature locates specific artworks and navigates the entire tour.


6. ArtLens Gallery

Access detailed information to guide your visit with the third and most innovative iteration of ArtLens Gallery, designed to remove the intimidation of an art museum and give people the tool sets to look closer and dive deeper. Features include physical docking at every interactive, accessing guided tactile descriptions, and more.
