Van Gogh Museum Visitor Guide for Android

This Van Gogh museum guide is exactly what I was looking for. Im not only just a visitor to the museum but a also a Van Gogh fan and this guide helped me before and while in the museum and also during my stay in Amsterdam as it also includes a guide of the city with maps. This app should be better marketed as it is a complete guide of the museum with its highlights and the life of Van Gogh and it has a huge plus which is the travel guide of Amsterdam. And also you can book ahead of time the tickets to any attraction in Amsterdam and avoid the lines.

Other museums in the Netherlands such as the Rijksmuseum and Maritshuis have excellent free apps. The free version is a waste of time. If could give minus stars, I would.

If you download this app, you will get a very few teaser nuggets of information and then they’ll keep asking you to pay $2.99 for the full app. The Van Gogh Museum’s audio guide is €2.00 and probably has a lot more information, although you can’t keep the audio guide. These in-app purchases are not generally worth it. I downloaded 3 other free museum guide apps that truly were useful and not a way to make money off of users. This one is worthless.

Just a teaser to get you to buy an upgrade

Zero content without in-app purchases and the paid content is absolutely worthless. Don’t waste any time or money here. Edit to reply to developer: if you only provide content to paying subscribers, put a price on the app itself. Making the app free suggests that you are willing to provide some amount of at least teaser material to encourage subscription. There is none of that, and the downloader feels deceived. Just my two cents, take it for what it’s worth, but it is probably why you have a 1.8 rating right now.
