  • Love the concept

    I haven’t gotten too deep into using this app but just from my initial impression, I love the idea of a free app where I can discover and learn about arts & culture. My only request from the app developers is to please add a feature to mark if you have seen the famous artworks in person. So to add them to my “collection” and learn more about them as well.
  • AI garbage

    I downloaded this hoping for a fun way to connect with the actual art world and escape the infiltration of ai slop in every single thing on the internet. Two seconds into using this app and I’m prompted to try an AI drawing experience. Lose the ai trash. It’s not art and it doesn’t belong in the art world.
  • Games unnecessary

    I put this app on my child’s iPad so she could explore and learn about art. Instead, she plays the games on hat are part of the app. Why are games necessary? There are plenty of games on the App Store. I’d give the app 5 stars if the games were removed.
  • Extraordinary and wonderful

    I just started using the app so I haven't explored that much. The artwork is gorgeous, of course. One problem for me is that there's no way to adjust the size of the text that accompanies each piece, and it is teeny tiny. There's an accessibility section in settings but all that's there is the ability to choose light or dark mode. Another improvement I would make is to respond to rotation of the device so that artwork that is in a landscape orientation can be shown as large as possible. Right now the app stays in portrait orientation even if you rotate the device.
  • Not that good

    I’ve seen better AI filters with TikTok Filters it acts janky often making whatever you take a photo of to not look like the actual thing it’s based off of with weird misconstrues.
  • No landscape…???

  • A sad app capitalizing on actual curation

    Interface is good but it’s pretty clear this app is solely relying on using the art data to train their AI models. Kadinsky, Van Gogh, Monet are turning over in their graves.
