"Cannot pay for the bundle and reading the other reviews I see that it`s been an ongoing issue for a while. There should be an alternate way to purchase a bundle"

"Can`t seem to buy the bundle. Keeps saying ``Transaction declined`` No messages in my Monzo or Revolut app about failed transaction. Tried changing payment cards in Google Play but no luck. (Google play successfully verifies card). Its driving me nuts."

"Payments do not work at all rendering the app useless completely. Greatly negatively influences the experience at the museum as no alternative audioguide is available and the app remains mostly locked"

"Hooray! In-app payment now works so we can now purchase the additional tours (much better buying the whole bundle). It`s great to have the whole museum guide available in your pocket. The audio reocordings are excellent. I`m really looking forward to my next visit where I can browse the collections using the app. Thanks for sorting out the purchase issue."

"Totally disappointing. For individual items the app is just about passable, although some of the item descriptions are so short as to be almost worthless. For tours however the app is a total nightmare. It switches off on lockscreen, doesn`t flow between rooms. The old audio tours the museum used to provide were amazing and worth paying for on each visit, this app is barely worth the £4,99 for lifetime use."

"Do not waste your money on the tour packages for this app. They are not laid out in a logical way and trying to find the next exhibit will only add to the stress the museum naturally induces."

"The overall experience is not good at all. 1) The app restarts every time once left. 2) Audio guides cannot be used with the screen locked. 3) The in-app purchased tours are underwhelming, as they represent only a small collection of items concerning the topic. One does not know where the tour starts and goes. I expected some map inside the app that shows where the tour points are located. During the tour, one is just on search for the next audio guide point."

"The app is just okay. The info is great and I`m glad I had it but you have to keep the app and your phone open for it to work, so the audio stops if you close your phone or use another app, which is annoying if you want to take a picture of the item you are looking at while at the same time listen to the audio. And it is glitchy to the point that I had to completely close the app and reopen if I ever used a different app. It could be that we were there on a very busy day though."
