The app-download problem
The worst time to ask for an app download is when a visitor is already standing in front of an exhibit. They want the story now, not after a store search, install, permission request, and onboarding flow.
Journey Pal lets visitors scan a QR code and open the guide on the web, making the first interaction much faster.
Multilingual guides need easy entry
When visitors already face a language barrier, every extra step matters. Phone-language detection can help by taking the visitor directly to the relevant language when that content exists.
What museums can publish
Museums can publish object stories, room introductions, children's trails, accessibility notes, sponsor messages, temporary exhibition guides, or premium paid audio. The same delivery model can serve permanent and changing content.
Frequently asked questions
Can Journey Pal still work alongside an existing museum app?
Yes. Journey Pal can serve visitors who do not want to install an app or who need a fast QR code guide for specific exhibits.
Can it support paid audio guides?
Yes. Journey Pal can be used as a revenue source through paid guide access where that fits the museum's model.
Is browser-based audio hard for visitors?
No. The goal is simple: scan the QR code, open the guide, and listen on the visitor's own phone.
