About The Broad
The Broad’s free mobile app was developed to enhance the museum experience by offering audio, video, and descriptive text about the collection, artworks and artists on view, as well as free self-guided audio tours. Visitors also can use The Broad’s free mobile app to reserve, view, and redeem their museum tickets.
Among the features of the app are audio tours that can be taken as multi-stop tours or used just for individual stops in the 50,000 square feet of gallery space. The four initial tours available will be “Artists-on-Artists,” a tour featuring collection artists talking about pieces in the Broad collection by other artists including Barbara Kruger on Kara Walker’s African’t, John Baldessari on Sherrie Levine’s Fountain (Buddha), and Sterling Ruby on Christopher Wool’s Why?, among others; a collection highlights tour with commentary by founders Eli and Edythe Broad and founding director Joanne Heyler; an architecture tour featuring Elizabeth Diller, partner-in-charge at Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the firm that designed The Broad; and “Looking with LeVar,” a family audio tour, narrated by award-winning actor, director, and education advocate LeVar Burton.

App doesn't use normal sound controls so you can't change the volume. Unusable through head phones so useless in the museum. Huge problem in otherwise great seeming app. Love the content!

Stuck on splash screen due to location settings not being able to access location - you would think this would have been tested and fixed as I see many other users are having same exact problem

It won't get past the starting screen. It tells me to turn on location settings but they are already on.

Very intuitive, aesthetically pleasing, detailed map that shows a picture of the art and provides additional information about the artist and where their exhibit is located in the museum. Audio tours are built within the app, so no need to rent those audio guides via the information desk. Can reserve tickets on the app, and pull up previous/upcoming reservations

Great accompaniment for the galleries but for me the volume was on full blast and I couldn't adjust it. I was using the Broad noise-canceling ear buds and I have a OnePlus One, not sure if it was a result of either of those as well.

I already listened to a lot of the tour. I cant wait to be there in person!!! You can also access and reserve FREE tickets via the app.

Could not get past the "turn on your location window" even though location was on and other apps were able to locate my device. Visit and download were on 3/29/16.

The app is fine, I think it's graphically nice, but not intuitive. Audio tours is a great idea. **My phone recognizes audio as a Call, which is TOO LOUD for a recorded interview. All other apps use "media" volume, the appropriate setting for audio books, podcasts, and all audio file types. #webmaster #fixplease Aaaaaaand The audio tour is a series of VIDEOS. Good god.
