In recent months, Guide ID has devoted a great deal of work to its own iPhone App. The point of departure was what you can expect from us – convenience for everyone!

An App is a small application that you can install on your smartphone. Our App activates content by means of QR codes. The barcode system was developed in Japan many years ago. It was discovered that it was so handy that it is used for a multitude of purposes all over the world today. For example, it is an ideal system for use in museums.

The QR codes are placed next to the works of art. It is an extremely user-friendly and simple system. As with the Podcatcher, all you need to do is scan. The App on the smartphone then translates the bar code and plays the relevant section of the audio tour. Extra content in the form of photos can also be offered with this App.

One central system for flexible content
Using the App makes the audio tour even more attractive for an even larger public! And it all stays simple for museums. The Podcatcher and the App are supplied with content by a single system. There is one tour editor with which the content for both the Podcatcher and the App is developed.

We are launching the iPhone App in the first quarter of 2012, so that museum visitors can enjoy an audio tour through their own headphones. Naturally, for visitors without a smartphone there is still always the Podcatcher. After all, Guide ID delivers convenience for everyone!

We look forward to a surprising, innovative and comfortable 2012!
