The app also provides you with the best one-hour tour of the museum, which is basically a superb itinerary covering the gallery’s top 15 highlights.

We begin our trip from the beating heart of Renaissance in Room 9 where we visit wonderful paintings of Titian, Raphael and Michelangelo. We then make your way to the Dutch masters and the Spanish treasures. We revel in the Caravaggist paintings before taking in the glory of the French Rococo. We next embark on the Grand manner of English Romanticism and our final stop is at the Impressionist and Post Impressionist works from across Europe. Here, we end our momentous journey by visiting the sublime works of Van Gogh which are the crowning jewels of the gallery.

However if you would like to deep dive, there are hundreds of highlights to choose from. The gallery is home to great paintings by European masters such as Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Claude and Poussin as much as British greats such as JMW Turner, Gainsborough and John Constable. The building houses an enviable collection of paintings from Titian to Da Vinci, Van Gogh to Velazquez, and Mantegna to Monet. Now you can awaken hundreds of these beautiful works with your Midas touch! You can also learn about each work in great detail, explore works in the gallery and pursue your interest.

With close to 500 paintings, 180 different artists and 70 galleries to explore, there is no better way to see the National Gallery than with the Museum Buddy. We hope you enjoy the app and have a great time at the National Gallery.

Thank goodness for this app!

This was the only audio guide I could find for the national gallery, so I pressed on past the terrible reviews - and was very glad I did!

The audio was easy to search for via the numbers next to the paintings that all matched perfectly. I did pay £3.50 to upgrade to the full version to access all paintings, which I felt was a fair price.

The voice is clear, well paced and contains lots of interesting info that is not listed next to the painting. Some of it is from an automated text reader I think so the pronunciations are not perfect, but that did not take away from my enjoyment at all.

Not bad

Has lovely descriptions and audio. It was a life saver at the museum as the routes at the gallery were crystal clear and we just followed it

Absolute rubbish!

I got the app because I thought it would have a decent audio guide and enhance my visit to the national gallery. Unfortunately I was mistaken. The sainsbury wing is not on the map, the numbers on the paintings aren’t all on the audio guide and when you are lucky enough to find one that works, you have a horrible mechanical voice that mispronounces nearly everything. The menus are clunky, unhelpful and nearly every search came back negative.

This is by far, the worst app I have ever purchased 😞 and is a complete and utter disappointment and I expected much better from the National Gallery 😞
