“Simply the best app for the Vatican Museums. There might even be another app more complete, but not as good as this one. Its breathtaking!!!“ – V.M.N.A

Photos, audios and videos

Ratings and Reviews
Good app, needs to inform about media downloads
Good app with decent information about the various sections of the Vatican Museum. I especially enjoyed the parts about the Sistine Chapel. However, the developer needs to add a section in the apps description about the need to download additional data files after the app download and to do this while you’re still on Hotel WiFi. I bought the app while I was already in town and was under the impression that the 25MB app download included the media files. But after opening the app for the first time it wants to download an additional 130MB of data, which took almost 30 minutes over a LTE connection with multiple network time outs from the apps CDN. Without these additional files the app won’t work.
If you're going, get this app!
Came back from visiting the Vatican Museum and was glad we got this app. The quality and production are really great. We also listened to Rick Steve's and a friend rented the museum audio tour. The museum audio tour is way more comprehensive and can give you details on almost every exhibit which can be a bit tiring.
This app, however, provides a very good highlight tour and multimedia guide. What I really enjoyed is the photo galleries. One of the Raphael's room was under renovations so seeing the pictures allowed us to see what it should look like. Also in the Sistine Chappel it was great also to view the photos (wish you could zoom though) on the iphone which allowed you see more details that were difficult to see. Also the photos followed the audio and will guide you to where you should focus - such as where is that self-portrait in the room.
Overall well worth the investment, and actually cheaper than the museum guide and you can't bring that back home :)
Don’t waste your money
I’ve tried the picture recognition on dozens of pictures in the museum. None was recognized by the app. Total disappointment.
