Ok, installed this a little while ago, partly since had read somewhere
that some of the exhibits in it could offer sort of walking/video tours
with someone like a guide talking along the tour, but, hadn't figured
out how to look for any of those specific ones.
Anyway, just now, it showed up as having an update, so installed it, and
then thought of something else hadn't thought of last time - fired it
up, double-tapped on an exhibition of an art gallery mentioned near top,
and when came across the list of lots of pretty much unlabeled images,
double-tapped on one of them, and it actually came up with a whole
textual description of that painting, it's history, etc.
Will definitely be checking it out some more, just in case this
descriptive text carries over to anything like a variety of exhibits,
museums, sites, etc.
Anyway, in case this might be of interest to some people, here's the
playstore link:
