Smithsonian Mobile

What happened to the articles? I want the information, this is useless.

Used to have great daily events page....now nothing??

Won't open crashes

Downloaded the app and it would never open. Kept saying that it needed an update to Open. pressed the button for the update and it never Completed. plus The "need update" screen kept popping back up. Hopefully it's just a bug that can be fixed.

Helped with the family trip.

Tried to use app in Natural History Museum. Couldn't connect to network and stated that it required updates that could not be downloaded before it would work.

Just downloaded the app. And it wants to update. Updated twice and it still doesn't work

The app requires a download every time you open it. I just want basic info like hours the museum's are open. Dismissing the exhibit info should be an option within the app. Uninstalled, the website is quicker.

I've successfully installed however can't open it. Constantly asks me to update but never works. I'm sure this app would be great but right now it's pretty useless. Please fix this issue!

It downloads and then won't update to work or something

Overall very detailed and up to date info.I wish there were a way to input or sign in as a member and have the member number come up for ticket purchases or while shopping at the gifts shops.

The extraordinary graphical content in the Smithsonian app demands a larger screen. Failure to provide tablet support is unforgivable.

Keeps freezing up , after downloading. Won't open

The update to this app fails. Over and over. Can't use it at all

As a 5th grader I am questioned every day of school and now I can get smarter and get better grades !

Wonderful to have this app. Great foe educational purposes.

Great source of information

Echoing many others here who can't get the app to work without a download that never completes. Please fix!!

History

It is a good app over all except for a glich when im scrolling it clicks on the thing i put my finger on to scroll by but i didnt click it. If they fix it, i will make my review 5 stars

I had a bad time with a Smithsonian app last year, but this time it worked. We got an overview of museums and current exhibits, and the AR feature worked (at least on the Mall). It helped the kids be part of our tour planning process. For some reason this app doesn't work in landscape mode. Android 5.0 phone.

A keeper. Use it all the time.

The official app of the national museum doesn't work, and according to the other reviews, hasn't worked in months. Anybody awake down there in DC??

I downloaded in advance of our DC trip, but on the morning of our museum day it wouldn't open without an update. I tried to update about 20 times and uninstalling and reinstalling and restarting my phone in between but the app always stopped before it was done and would tell me again to update. When I tried again it would start from zero. The most it ever updated was about 45% before reverting back to the "do you want to update" screen. So, the app we were counting on is unusable :(

Downloaded the update and it works prefect. Galaxy Tab 3 over wifi.

Wouldn't load at all.

Luv It

Downloaded the app and it would never open. Kept saying that it needed an update to Open. pressed the button for the update and it never Completed. plus The "need update" screen kept popping back up. Hopefully it's just a bug that can be fixed.

I have a GalaxyS 3G and could not connect to upload the required files for the app to work. Had to use wifi and had no issues. If you want the app change your settings to wifi only and you will be good to go.

Same as other users, everytime I start the app it tells me another update must be applied first, it downloads the update and just loops into saying another update must be applied. App never starts.

device --------- samsung galaxy nexus android 4.1 won’t update ------------------ contacted the developer at the email address mentioned here and someone responded on sunday! - that was nice, wasn’t expecting an answer until monday. the suggestion was to install/update the app using wifi rather than the mobile carrier’s network and that took care of the update error messages. suggestions ----------------- * figure out how to get the app to update/install over the mobile carrier’s network as well as over wifi. * allow for zoom on text and images and re-align after zooming in to fit the screen * using smithsonian mobile - maybe a video or legend describing the icons and app use * the 3 dot menu didn’t display anything summary ------------- * overall it’s great to have access to this information * over time the ui should improve with suggestions - so download it, use it and offer your suggestions

Still getting could not connect to server error :-(

Lots of great info on each place. Love the my tour feature (add places to buil your own tour) as well as the theme/time based tour suggestions.

Kept asking to download more data but never opened. Uninstall!

Unable to download required data files so can't run. Should be removed from store until they fix it! Reflects poorly on Smithsonian.

Thanks for the update, it is working on my ICS tablet now. Now if you can integrate google art project i will give you 6 stars. Looking forward to my visit, this will really help me prioritize my exploration

Downloaded application and installed. There is more than 1 update trying to install. Won't download last one more than 30%.

Thank you for making this app so we can all be informed

Great resource and user friendly.

Can't get past the required downloads. Not useful.
