Comments on British Museum Audio for Android

★★★★★ Paula Rodrigues · Sep 23, 2024

Great app to download as part of your visit to the British Museum 👍🏾

★★★★★ Darrell Hannan · Jul 13, 2022

Hooray! In-app payment now works, so we can now purchase the additional tours (much better buying the whole bundle). It's great to have the whole museum guide available in your pocket. The audio recordings are excellent. I'm really looking forward to my next visit where I can browse the collections using the app. Thanks for sorting out the purchase issue.

★☆☆☆☆ Tim Mortimore · Jul 1, 2022

Waste of time. I have downloaded the app, but it is impossible ble to purchase the tours bundle. Frustrated member.

★☆☆☆☆ jes · Oct 11, 2023

Frustrating for tourists! First the app store won't let you download it saying you are not in uk, when I was standing in the museum. Then it won't let me purchase the audio guide saying my card is from another country!!!!!

★★☆☆☆ Sean Tisdale · Jan 12, 2023

Paying for a tour where you have to pay to see the first object and can't even see the second, isn't a good tour
