monamu is not just an app for a single exhibition or museum, it's a platform for many at once. This brings a whole range of advantages. For instance, we expect that monamu will remain on visitors' smartphones longer than an individual museum app. But there is much more to it...
When multiple landmarks share the same map, each one receives more attention because there are many reasons for users to download and open the app. The likelihood of monamu staying on users' smartphones increases, especially as they can take notes in the app, highlight their favorite stops and collect memories of their visit.
Getting used to a new multimedia guide can be stressful, especially for older visitors. This can reduce the enjoyment of the visit and detract from the overall experience. However, monamu works the same way everywhere, so after using it once, no further adjustment is needed, especially as we have made sure to equip monamu with an intuitive and robust user interface.
When many users work with the same system, effective solutions are developed more quickly and can be shared and scaled easily. This allows monamu users to learn from each other, and we can also invite them to share which features they would like to see added or improved, which will then benefit everyone without making it more expensive.
We also publish our release planning, so you can see when to expect new features or optimizations, while the monamu community is constantly developing better ideas for appealing tours and providing context. For example, for our "in-depth levels", shown as four circles in this station above the image, allow you to offer your visitors deeper content on a particular station.
These are by no means all the benefits that monamu has to offer. The application is full of features and great ideas. For example, how we provide clear navigation for visitors with mobility challenges, or how you can display a showcase within a station. How we ensure that the multimedia guide is not played aloud over speakers and that unnecessary elements automatically disappear to improve text readability, reappearing when needed. If you’d like to learn more about this, then read our next chapter about features and functions.
