Not working on my iPad and iPhone
The app says, “Something went wrong. An error occurred check your connection and try again” repeatedly whenever I open the app. It’s happening on both of my devices. Several months back it used to work but not now. I’ve been trying for a few months now but the app is just not working
Needs widgets!!!
Why doesn’t this app have a widget where you can cycle through a collection, such a missed opportunity
Fake propaganda
Fake moon landing, fossile to hydrocarbon fuel and all sorts of establishment lies
Splendid
Such an amazing app. Thank you Google
Presentation
Good
Absolutely crazy. Such a good mix of technology and art !!
I have downloaded only 1/2 an hour ago and absolutely love it.
If you are into art and want to gain knowledge regarding it, this is it , its really goood.
Also has an interactive games RELATED TO ART , can you imagine that?
Has filter regarding art and my favourite augmented reality, of museum’s!!
I would 100 percent recommend it if you are into art, at-least try it once.
Amazing app killed by not getting a night mode
Love the app, content and everything. One thing that I absolutely HATE is not getting a dark mode. It kills the app for me because I like to view such content when I get into bed and it just hurts my eyes so much to concentrate on a visual content in between a white glowing page. Honestly, useless at night and amazing during the day for me. 3 stars. -1 for not getting the dark mode -1 for killing the app for me altogether.
An Absoloute Must Have for Art Enthusiasts
The app is amazing. There are a few minor software bugs that can be fixed. When i open a collection, i am not able to go back to the Home Screen which forces me to reopen the app. Also it would be amazing to have a dark mode.
Best free app ever! Just a few suggestions
This app is brilliant, but I just have a few suggestions, not that I don’t appreciate you, but like in the coloring book area, there is not many arts to color or the camera filters take a long time to load.
Otherwise this is the best app ever! Thank you so much for this
Brilliant Resource
I’m an Architecture student, and it’s difficult for me to find paintings on different movements by different artists in one place. This is a great resource, very organised, informative and undoubtedly extremely helpful. It’s a great place to get inspiration and information. Apps like this are truly a service to society.
