Downloaded the free version. First time I tried to use LouvreMuseumBuddy it tricked me into buying the full version. Pretty much a worthless app. I would not recommend.

Makes you thin it's free until you try to use it then when you download it you need to upgrade it to get the full version.

You can tell some work went into LouvreMuseumBuddy, there’s a lot of content and apparently some features, but the UI makes it impossible to use.

There’s no consistent menu structure, for example there’s no way to do a search except from one location I found once and never again.

If you are lucky enough to find the search feature once, and add some favorites, you will never see that list of favorites from anywhere. Searching and viewing favorites are two functions that should always be available at all times in LouvreMuseumBuddy .

These are easy problems to solve. If the developer just gave LouvreMuseumBuddy to a few people who have never seen it before and watch then fumble to get anything useful out of it they could probably figure out how to resolve the problems. For now LouvreMuseumBuddy is useless.

Most of the functions of the "upgraded" paid app are useless. The "search" function is a joke, and the you can only access audio clips with a number (and where you find that number is unknown to me).

I upgraded to the paid version because the free version is bad. But the paid version doesn't seem any better.

The Louvre is one of the most popular attractions in the world and LouvreMuseumBuddy is promoted here. But I notice there are no reviews. I guess they are waiting for a good one.

The Louvre is massive and confusing at best. We did the suggested 4 hr tour and LouvreMuseumBuddy had us walking all over, up and down levels and back and forth between the wings. There were no directions how to get between the various places so we got lost several times. Probably best to do a guided tour next time.

Most rooms and works of art are locked if you choose the free version.

The map is too shaky and uncooperative when zooming in and out. And you can't reorient it.

If you want to use LouvreMuseumBuddy to tour the Louvre, expect for it to not be updated and contain outdated information about which wings are open and the location of important works of art.

I upgraded to the full version and realized that not every art piece on the “audio” tab came with an audio clip. This is a false advertisement because I thought the full version should have all the audio clips. That totally ruined my Louvre experience because I had to read the description first and came back to look at the actual art works, which doubled the amount of time. And Louvre is always crowded, so it is hard standing there reading in the crowd, too.

The information is good. It might be a fun app to explore for virtual tour at home. However, it’s definitely not an ideal guide to explore the museum.

Overall good - however it doesn’t go in order and has you crisscrossing back and forth through some of the most high traffic areas in the museum. The audio is very 80s robotic sounding - much better to just read the summaries on LouvreMuseumBuddy .
Good search feature but no route / mapping - it only shows the location on the map. Many exhibits / halls closed - would be good if it had updated reports on what was closed / under restoration.

The Louvre is massive so we got LouvreMuseumBuddy since it has an interactive map and audio. Worked good for our needs
