Does nothing except offer to download paid app. Waste of time

Sure, you can download it for free, but the only option once you open the app is to purchase a guide! That's deceptive.

The app is basically the book guide of Prado Museum to be read on the mobile phone, but it has very small letters and does not allow to use the phone in the landscape mode. Therefore, you may have to use the zoom and scroll to the sides and up/down constantly. From my view, it's better to purchase the book in the museum.

This is not a free guide. It is an interface to purchase the Prado guide in your preferred language.
I have no idea why this doesn't get better reviews. It's basically the same content as the €20 book the gallery sells (so, text and pics, not an audio guide) but for less than a fiver and on your phone. Easy to navigate with hi-res pictures, plus really handy features like opening and closing triptychs to see the outer wings. There's also an index of artists so you can quickly find more info when viewing paintings. Two changes I'd make would be allowing landscape view and adding which room a painting is in.
