Very Happy

We became members again of the Garden after many years. This app couldn't have come at a better time! We love to see what's in bloom and use it often for general information. Like the app and love the Garden!

App helped me during my time at the Chicago Botanical Garden.

Nothing much to say. It has a map of the garden, your location in the garden, and places to go in the garden.

No sound for audio guides

Wow this app needs improvement. The audio guides have no sound on my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Slow startup

This app seems interesting, but it takes a very long time to check for DB updates at each startup. What's worse, this app will often quit while I'm using the camera (I have an iPhone 4; it may be less of a problem on phones with more RAM), and when I switch back to this app it restarts and wastes a minute doing the update check before it can be used. As a result, I ended up not using this at all on my visit to the botanic garden!

FINALLY!!!

The Garden was the perfect reason for an App, it's been obviously missing - but here it is! And it's what all of us "connected" members have been waiting for!! No more having to carry around a paper map! And this is current and interactive! Bravo!

Fairchild Room is now the Pullman Room.

Good information. A big improvement over the previous version; however there is a mention of the Fairchild Room which is now the Pullman Room in the Classrooms list.

Great way to get more from your visit

I always know where things are and the tour feature is very nice. The app helps me understand and get more from my visits here!

Great!

Terrific app, lots of easy to navigate features. Let's you see events, check maps, even find where particular plants are in bloom.

Never finishes loading DB

Was really looking forward to using this app but unfortunately it perpetually flashes "Copying Local DB". Hoping I can get it to work as I plan to visit the Gardens soon. Using on a 4S.

Broken

Don't advertise the app on your website if basic buttons like the "Back" button don't work. Update your app.

Terrible freezes

Looking for an ironwood tree. App just stalls out. Very poor design and programming.
