  • 1.  Features of a museum mobile application-must have/ good to have/ wish to have

    Posted 08-28-2023 02:03 AM

    Hi, I am looking for help from museum curators and guest experience experts to draw up a list of features that one desires in a museum app. This will help me make an annual plan for new tech development in our product. The features may be rated as must have/ good to have/ wish to have.

    To begin with, I will mention some features here-
    1. Audio guides- Must have
    2. Galleries- Good to have.
    3. List of Events/ exhibitions- Good to have.
    4. Ability to send out notifications- Wish to have.

    and so on...

    Please keep adding to the list or just write a feature you wish for

    Thank you
    Regards

    I highly recommend checking out Bloomberg Connects to give you a sense of what might be useful in guides.  If you are approved by Bloomberg, then they support the app development and ongoing work with you as part of their philanthropy.  Their platform is a proven model of information that visitors enjoy.  They also support you for ongoing updates and provide guidance on what to include.  Another benefit - they have unlimited video cloud support for your app and they translate the app as needed.

    Thank you Bobbi. I have seen the Bloomberg Connects app and in fact, we have gone through the features of app in detail. The app has some great features which we also offer in our apps. Thank you once again for your response.

    I am working toward getting us to a point where we can do an app tour, one of the things that I want to make sure we have when we are able is hearing aid connectivity. The AV in our exhibits is older and I want to supplement with the app until we are able to make larger-scale changes down the road. Regarding accessibility, the Clyfford Still Museum has some amazing accessibility features on their website that I want to explore when we inevitably update our systems. I believe their website was designed with a company called Userway.
