amazing but very buggy
i love how this is an art only app, where we can share photos of our creations. so far a few people have seen my art, but mainly my text posts gets more views. however, there’s so many bugs it’s hard to enjoy my experience. a lot of the times the app kicks me out and i have to go in to perform the action i want too. the app is also very slow.
Bug
The logout button doesn’t work, everything else does though. I have to completely uninstall the app to log out. Other than that, good app for artists.
Found another bug. I can’t change my featured posts. They’re all outdated and I can’t remove them or swap them. I think it’s an iPad problem. I tried on my siblings iPad, same issues.
The web version doesn’t let you search things. I could type “horse” and it would say “no results for “”. “ as if I never typed anything
love this app so far, one request
i wish there was an option to be able to scroll through all the works on a page and also like them without having to open a second tab, like how instagram and tumblr and most other social medias do
i know the following page does, but i wish the explore did too
The app is good, but it could be better.
It would be so useful if you could put multiple pages for the commission pages, not to mention multiple pages for posts.
great community and awesome for artists
This app is genuinely great for artists. There is such a good community and i almost never see anything negative. Everyone is very encouraging and supportive to each other. Love that there isn’t a size limit on the art you can post. There is no algorithm, which gives everyone’s art a chance to be seen, and likes are mostly hidden. There is a dedicated section to asking for critiques, and a place where people can create challenges, which can be awesome for art block. There are also content warning filters you can use on your own art or to censor any art you might be uncomfortable with, which you can remove if you want to see the art.
There are bugs somewhat often and the app isn’t the fastest, but the devs are very open and responsive to communication about any bugs or problems in the app.
The app is fairly new-ish so I’m assuming there’s more to come, but even so it’s awesome so far.
If you’re an artist i definitely recommend checking out this app, the community is so supportive and it’s nice to be able to post art without feeling the frustration of having to try to appeal to an algorithm. It takes away the competition and makes it more of a community. Really awesome, highly recommend!
Better than twitter
Ok so it’s been almost a month since I used artfol and I gotta say, I freaking LOVE the app. Most social media platforms discourages artists from making a shine for recognition since most platforms encourages unoriginal content. And the censorship is awesome too! I’ve been tryna find a platform that wasn’t toxic where I could post more explicit drawings, but they either supported AI art, or just an extremely toxic app. I am thankful I found this app through instagram, I have never been grateful! I wish to continue using this app and see the app progress through growth
Love it! But still very new
Love this app as an artist. The layout of both the entire interface UX is great and the customizing for your profile is awesome.
But it’s still a fairly new app and there are bugs that crawl out now and then.
I do with there were a way to block seeing reposts, there are some users that repost every single post that clogs up my feed. But other than that I’m in love with Artfol
Amazing App
I love Artfol and have had an account since beta. Many of the older lower star reviews are from beta so don’t fret, the app does not take forever to load anymore, hasn’t in a long time. Most of the complaints about the app have to do with there being next to no algorithm, this is done to encourage users to actually engage with their audiences. For me this is actually a big deal, I get next to no engagement on instagram even though I have 500 followers while on Artfol I get a ton more engagement with only 100 followers, this means I can more easily see what people like about my art and connect with way more people. Remember more followers doesn’t mean more engagement!
It’s fine, but not the most functional.
I get it, this isn’t a reflection on the creators of the app. I really get that it’s a lot to handle with no help for no pay. But that’s the hard truth. This app is only okay. It has a lot of cool features but functions at a 90s era microsoft dell level. It’s very slow, the community is circular and isolated (if you’re looking to meet and befriend other, typically young, artists, great. If you’re looking to network might be okay at best. If you want to grow a business, terrible). It’s just not that good. It’s okay. It’s fun if you have the patience to wait for every post to load for five minutes, and you don’t mind a young-ish, artist-centric echo chamber. But I think I’m finding more and more this app just isn’t for me and I can’t imagine it’ll get too much better anytime soon if it’s funding remains as is. It’s cool that it’s free, but if it can’t really function properly every time a new feature is added…idk, I’m losing interest at this point.
