I have booked a reservation / pre purchased tickets for the Upper and Lower Belvedere along with the audio tour. I understand that the audio tour is delivered via a mobile phone app. I would like to download the app in advance to reduce the chance of issues or wasted time for our four devices.
Does anyone know what the name of that app is as found in the Apple App Store? I’ve searched but cannot find it.
From their website, the app is called Smartify.

In the apple app store, there is an app called ”Smartify: Arts and Culture” which looks to be the app you would need.
Perfect. Thank you!
Tagging onto this post, I went to the Belvedere with no advance reservations (because that's how I roll :)) and I had to wait 1.5 hours for my admission time. Just for planning purposes. I didn't mind because I sat outside and looked around and read my Rick Steves guide.
I also noted that this was the only place in Austria where I saw a warning about pickpockets. It was on the wall behind the ticket sellers, I'm surprised they would choose that location but there you have it.
Also to note - if you're going to see Klimt, you may as well find out which floor they are on and go there first so you don't get disappointed. This is obviously the most crowded section of the palace and it may take a while to get your fill of his art.
I enjoyed this museum even without the audio tour, and it's really simple to tram there and back. Only did the upper tour per Rick's advice, I did walk to the lower and then exit and got somewhat turned around. Make sure you're getting back on the right tram going the right direction.
