Google Arts & Culture Positive Reviews

Google Arts and CultureThe Google Arts and Culture application is the type of application people who are curious about the cultures of the world dream of. To start off the design is in balance with a clear color background and minimal text regarding categories and article titles. Users can easily navigate the main sections of the app from the bottom tab. The app can also be used in various ways whether consuming information from the content provided which ranges from classical artworks articles on historical figures, science as well as a range of other topics. The app can be used to create content by way of galleries the user constructs. The app can even be seen as a observational lens through use of Virtual Reality and Selfies. A short review can’t do this application justice. It is well worth a download just for the ability to enrich your imagination..D. HillVersion: 7.2.16

Best app in existenceI was stunned by the vastness of this app —it could be called Humanity or the World. It’s certainly not limited to art. You can go on 3D virtual visits not just to every museum in existence but to important sites- Machu Piccu, Barcelona, Stonehenge, you get the drift. For a history & archaeology buff, it is tops. You can spend hours wandering around in here . There’s fun stuff too - it will find artworks with people that resemble you or give you artworks with your favorite color predominent. Even if math is your thing, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Learn about perspective in innovative ways. See similarities in artworks and crafts from disparate cultures, sometimes hundreds of years apart-and don’t forget symbols. Maybe the meaning of mankind is in here somewhere. This is Google at it’s absolute best..ShumblebirdVersion: 9.1.41

Selfie option DOES work!I'm not sure why people are writing reviews, saying that the selfie option doesn't work, because it worked perfectly fine for me. It took me two seconds to scroll down the home page, find the selfie option, read about how it is new and experimental, take a selfie, and find pieces that resembled me. Maybe it only works on certain devices, but as the owner of an iPhone 6, I assure you, the selfie option works phenomenally. Also, there are countless informational texts and articles regarding art(ists). This app is amazing and I 10/10 recommend!.JolinskyparadiseVersion: 6.0.17

Works jankyThis is a hit or miss. Sometimes there is a back button at the top left corner to return to the previous page. Sometimes not. I can’t tell you the amount of times I had to turn to the main page of this app to re-search the location I was just in. For example; explore by places. Click on a location from the list. Now try to go back. Yep no back button so you have to go back to Home again, click Places, sort by alphabetical...again and scroll ..again. Cmon this is 2021 Some galleries also don’t allow you to zoom in on the artwork. This is especially stupid if the artwork is what looks like to be the size of my iPhone....on my 12.9’ iPad Pro. I did not buy this giant iPad to view small pictures that don’t allow me to zoom in..Hitman4832Version: 8.1.19

Location RestrictionEchoing what many have said about the location restriction on the selfie feature. I can understand Google didn’t expect the selfie feature to go viral and were thus unprepared. However, the limited access was not clearly communicated and the fact that it seems the coastal cities got access and middle America did not seems misguided. Overall, like the way the app allows you to interact with art and exposes you to art you’re not familiar with. The UI and overall experience seems on par with Google’s other great products. One last point of feedback would be to incorporate even smaller art institutions. I live in Chicago and the many diverse art institutions of the city are not well represented..Mlchicago1871Version: 6.0.17

This makes you art so hardI’ve never arted so hard in my life. after getting this app I literally arted everywhere !! I couldn’t even contain the art that was coming out of me! i’ve arted my pants, I’ve arted at work, and I art everywhere now. One time I arted sooo hard that I had to pull over ! My girlfriend (well ex now) would get so jealous watching me art all over the place, so she left me. She called me ‘disgusting’ because I’d art so much around her. Arting in public has become one of my new found hobbies. So thanks google, I never new I could art so much in my life..Miah.sVersion: 6.0.17

No, the selfies don’t always workTo selfie or not to selfie is a legal issue. Does Google want to deal with the necessary disclosures about facial identification in your state or is it easier to just not allow the function in your area? I’ve read you can tell the App Store your location is different then it is but it’s on you to figure it out. Sorry. I didn’t think I’d need it. I’d like to choose photos from my camera roll for some features, especially pets, especially my dear departed ones. I’m sure I’ll figure something out but I’d rather have it be easy..PhelineCatVersion: 9.0.44

For the curious only!The absolutely astounding amount of fabulously prepared resources available at one’s finger tips in this app is mind bending. Whether it is just the casual browsing of vast collections of museums from all corners of the world, the casual immersion in random topics which just serve the purpose of testing one’s interest to intimate exploration of a epoch - be prepared to be blown away. Be warned: save to your favorites often; sites, museums you visit, artists, historical periods. It really is a challenge to remember all the magic you will find here. And it is here…..BrylatyVersion: 9.1.41

Wow! What a resource!!Google Arts and Culture is an amazing resource - a treasury of links to over 1,000 international museums, galleries and cultural institutions. The entire site is searchable in many cases in a variety of ways- alphabetically, chronologically, geographically, and by medium. As an educator I am awed and excited by its potential for use in every curriculum area! As an everyday person I get caught up in exploring and learning every single time I open the app. I am transported to far away places, caught up in the beauty of innumerable works of art, and educated by the “stories” that are included..Cor CarrieroVersion: 6.2.3

These reviews are hilariousI like everyone else am downloading to use the selfie portion of the app. I don’t know yet if I can yet because this whole location restriction thing but the fact that people are so upset by it is hilarious. Someone is so upset that they spent “lost” fifteen minutes of their time trying to find a place to use it. Are you kidding me? You ran around for fifteen minutes trying to make something that will have no impact on your life or anyone else just so you can’t post it on social media?? 🤣.TGRSSBBVersion: 6.0.17

Fine for art, not for the face match featureLike most, I downloaded this app to use the portrait face match feature. I was able to use it once, but then when I got back into the app later in the day the feature was no longer available. I understand that it is only available in certain locations but I don’t understand why it worked in my location (OKC) in the morning and then it disappeared in the afternoon. My husband’s phone still has the feature so that makes it even more confusing. Despite that major screw up with the face match capability, it is a cool app if you have any interest in art..N_to_the_POVersion: 6.0.17

Used to love the app but hate this updateI haven’t updated the app for a while but I finally got undated version and I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS. I loved exploring random articles, the layout and how unique it was. Now it looks horrendos and sterile and looks like any other app online. It lost its identity and spark. It’s just a google app w random art article which I can gust google rather then story telling like previous format was. Please please bring it back or give people an option to opt in to an old format..KamyizmiamiVersion: 10.3.2

Omg I love this app!It always brightens my day. So much to learn and explore. I love it and always forget about it but once I open the app I’m in heaven. I love that you can save favorite articles or pictures. There are so many ways to appreciate art within the app so it can fit any need or style of learning and enjoyment. It’s endless! I feel like I never have enough time to browse but there’s constant information so I don’t feel like I missed out on anything, it just keeps coming. Love it!!.HRS5165Version: 7.9.14

I’m giving it the BotD bc they’re still working on it, but there are still flaws with it.The stories are interesting, but navigating the app is rather difficult. Also, I noticed a lot of African American art, but it was hard to find African art. It’s there, it’s just not in one of the main collections. Also, I wish there was more to the fashion collection. In regards to everyone’s displeasure with the face recognition portion of the app, I do agree that the “select locations” seem to have been chosen arbitrarily, but I feel that people would be a lot less upset if we were told which locations that part of the app actually functions..ProWitchHazelVersion: 6.0.17

It’s okayI recommend this app for anyone interested in an immersive art experience. There are a lot of tools that allowed you to explore famous artworks, and even a feature that lets you incorporate yourself into a famous piece of art. I had some issues with this app, though. I downloaded it for science class and there was a tool that allowed you to go inside the lungs. It was interesting but very glitchy. Also, some of the features are difficult to understand and sometimes it is hard to find certain features. I give this app a three out of five..Reviews2714Version: 9.0.38

Poor search and content organizationIt is unbelievable how poor the search is in a google app of all things! if i try to search for “van Dongen”, in results, i won’t see Kees van Dongen’s page at all! you have to type the name in full and without errors, like it’s 1998 and the organization of information is very disappointing. the first thing i saw today when i downloaded and opened this app is a crossword. not a picture/statue/whatever of the day, but a crossword. because, i guess, that’s what people interested in art are really looking for, right?.EittafVersion: 9.2.37

Excellent AppThis app is wonderful. Anything you’re interested in, you can spend hours finding out more & more about it. Places you’ve never seen before, you can see them here. I never imagined I would learn so much from this app. The games are fun too, and a good way to get involved with the subject. I hope this app continues to exist forever, and that it continues getting updates. This app is a good way to spend your time..FroigsVersion: 9.1.41

Slightly Disappointed But Otherwise An Amazing AppOn one hand I am slightly disappointed that I am not able to use the selfie feature in the state that I live in. However, this app has caught my attention for a few weeks now because it’s amazing options for viewing art. It allows me to go into a 360° environment and be able to look around at the artwork. I really enjoy using this app and I hope that someday in the near future they will be able to install the portrait comparison in the areas that it has restricted..1 d!!!!!!Version: 6.0.17

Explore the World from HomeThis is a slick app. Most well-known is the museum doppelgänger feature, which was fun to experiment with. Then, I checked out some of the other features and had a pleasant time exploring the British Museum and Versailles in the street view section. The only thing that could make that part of the app better would be if it could track the movement of your device, and it could be like actually walking around those places. Constantly pressing the arrows to move a few feet was a little clunky, but it was still fun..EmaNekaf23Version: 6.0.23

Love itI’ve been kind of bored with all my apps and I’ve been looking for something more informational. I have oodles of art pos and they’re great, it’s awesome to just browse through art. This app takes it further and provides so much incredible information and learning on all kinds of art. I haven’t been able to tear myself away from this app and have actually found myself clicking on this over Twitter, fb, instagram, etc..🌗🌠old TM playerVersion: 6.0.23

Cool; but full screen art please!Please allow us to view the art image full screen in retina mode (high dpi) with black borders. The text menus at the top distract when you just want to take in the piece of art. Simple fast (cached) pinch-to-zoom in this mode would make examining brush strokes and details great! I really like the idea of this app. Clearly an immense amount of work and resources have been dedicated to this; which I appreciate. The informative text and background info is awesome. But the interface feels clunky; like a web site from a decade ago..MK500Version: 6.2.3

Compare your selfies to famous works of artYeah do disappointing. The app went viral basically but I can’t access it cause of my location? You wasted my time! Why would you do that? I live in a Chicago suburb called Lisle. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and maybe I’m just not finding it??? So please Google show me where to find it... “compare your selfies to famous works of art”. I downloaded your app...Arts and Culture” and wasted lots of time trying to find it. And if I can’t access from my location... then I think that’s a shame!.JanicejudyVersion: 6.0.17

Generally really great, but has problemsBesides missing art by certain artists And the complete lack of certain types of art Like illustration for example The biggest problem that I've dealt is definitely the resolution / the quality of the pictures of the art With every painting a look at, the picture is always a little grainy / a low a quality image, unless i zoom into it, then the image suddenly jumps in detail and quality, so i know they have a high quality version available somehow, but i can only see it when I'm zoomed in / unable to look at the full painting Its really annoying, and I've seen other art apps that don't have this problem, even if their image quality takes a second to load Please fix it!! Other than that stuff, great app 👏👏👌.Lugh lughVersion: 9.0.43

Good App but Technical Issues are AnnoyingThere’s a wide plethora of artwork just waiting to be found in this app and I’m happy Google is paving the way for people to connect with that. The interactive stories are great and I love the feature that allows you to find artwork similar to the ones you favorite over time. That being said, I am seeing an extremely annoying technical issue that prevents you from scrolling anything past the games section. This is unfortunate because this pretty much limits my experience in the app in half. Not only that, my favorite aspect of the app (that which allows you to find artwork based on your favorites) is *past* the games section where the issue arises. It’s a great app for art and art history lovers but this “problem occurred, reloading page” issue is frustrating and brings my rating down a couple of pegs..JRayVickersVersion: 9.0.46

Zoom in feature.Great app but one aspect of it that I like on the iPhone is that you can zoom in and really see the details of the art work. Unfortunately on the iPad it doesn’t let you zoom in. I don’t know if this is a glitch that needs to be fixed or what. I use this feature a lot to study art and become a better artist myself, and to be able to use this tool on a bigger screen instead of a phone would be ideal. I hope you take this into consideration. Thank you.Fillip McGowskiVersion: 6.3.12

AmazingSo appreciative that this app exists. What generosity that Google even created this, to have this accessibility to art without leaving your home. And they way in which they present it isn’t just “here’s some art, look at it”, you can project masterpieces with your phone on to your own wall, get into sometimes hidden detail of what makes Rembrandt a genius, take virtual tours of the Prada! Almost a crime if you don’t use it..The Mina LisaVersion: 7.5.29

Love it, but could be a little fasterIt’s a beautiful app, love the idea and already very simple to use. You can learn about artists, art movements, the art itself, and much much more. You are able to save your favorite art pieces to collections and explore to find new ones. Overall I love it so much but the connection and wait time could be improved. Like when you click to go on another page it will take awhile or sometimes never even go. Something minor though, it’s a great app!.Andi the demigodVersion: 6.0.17

Excellent content but clumsy navigationLots and lots of really high-quality pictures of artwork with great resolution so you can really zoom up close and see detail; this is cool particularly with paintings because you can see the brush strokes and detail. But the problem is this is it’s clumsy to get around it. if you press the back button while viewing art you are in never Ever land. And there’s lots of duplicates. But the pictures are really fantastic so go with that.BassdoctaVersion: 9.0.47

Please fix search engineI love this app and use it fairly often I also love the widget so you can see new work everyday. I would ask that you please fix the search engine often when looking for watercolor works the medium is gouache and although they are similar it is not the same. I would also like to be able to search different mediums for an artist most artists don’t just work with one medium..LovelysvalentineVersion: 10.7.2

Chicago restricted?In general, this app is pretty cool and the information is quite interesting. My only issue is that I cannot do this portrait/selfie search ("first-world" problem, I know) and I understand that it's restricted in some areas. I cannot find a list of where this feature is restricted, but I live in Chicago and it is not available. Just to make sure, I searched for possible (troubleshooting) strategies just to verify that this feature should be available in this city and haven't found anything other than review comments..Nuge0015Version: 6.0.17

Didn’t get to compare myselfI guess my location doesn’t allow me to find my old school doppelgänger. However! This app is the coolest thing I’ve come across in a long time! To see all the art it has to offer for you to explore and get lost in is breath taking. Much better reads the social media accounts and the same repetitive news articles. I’m so excited to keep exploring this app and the museums within it!.StringsandthingsVersion: 6.0.17

The beginnings of something wonderfulThe exploration of art never ceases to amaze me. This app takes my initial curiosity and expands it into a practical setting. Seeing museums that I may never experience in person, and immersive views into pieces not contained in any one place allows this app to flourish with a fluidity that cannot be matched by visiting any one institution. Here’s to further expansion and building upon what seems to be the potential for a massive catalog of art, bravo..JamjosmoVersion: 6.0.17

Selfie restrictions for some states are state law, NOT GoogleThe reason some states (like Illinois and Texas) can’t use the selfie feature is because those states do not allow the collection of biometric data needed to implement the selfie feature. Don’t blame Google (it’s not some plot against middle America like some are suggesting)...just write your state legislators and get them to exempt apps like this if or (ahem) Google the work around (hint Forbes mentions it)..IampatmannVersion: 6.0.17

Slightly annoyed, but overall super cool!So here, I, like a majority of others, have downloaded this app for the selfie thing which seems super cool! Sadly, for some reason Chicago doesn’t have access to it yet which is a bummer. But I’m not that upset cause I actually really dig art and I think this app has a ton of awesome things to read about and whatnot. So, while not being able to match my face to a famous painting is annoying, it definitely wasn’t the end of the world..KiddcrzyVersion: 6.0.23

Fun, informative appI like this app. I can explore something different each time and look up so many works. The AR Vemeer gallery is great! I like that I can search on women artists and their works come up. There are two things I wish for: —That a search on “women artists” or “impressionists” would also return a list of the artists —That Eleanor Brickdale, a pre-Raphaelite artist whose “The Little Foot Page” inspired the pageboy haircut, would be added.CatnipsyVersion: 9.2.37

Could be greatIgnoring the whole selfie fiasco, this app could be great but seems to be incredibly glitchy/unpolished. There’s not a cohesive experience with clicking read more and viewing related content and then trying to click back into the original post - it’s like the app is unsure how to handle each interaction. I end up back in the original list/search far too often. Feels like G put their C team on this one, which is unfortunate since it could open a whole lot of eyes (including my own) to great art..Brandonz85Version: 6.0.17

Hope Selection and Quality GrowsI have used this app for some time now and it’s another google service/app I enjoy. I do hope the selection can continue to grow and be expanded. With the latest high end devices showing HD and QHD/UHD pictures/videos I hope the works are available in that. This is the only chance many people will have to see these works..DavidreviewVersion: 6.0.17

Just 2 suggestions1. can you make all games and labs available for Canada? 2.(if I can’t suggest labs, that’s ok) i’m suggesting a lab where we can make wonderful sheet music that plays a wonderful piece just from a little bit of text.Tyeverybody16Version: 10.7.2

Came for the selfies. Stayed for the info.I genuinely got the app to see whether my portrait was in a museum. I haven’t found that aspect of the app yet, but I ended up keeping the app for the easily accessible and organized information curated to various artists, cultures, issues etc..Zsazsa3000Version: 6.0.17

Selfies are easily accessibleFirst of all, this is an app that allows you to explore the world of art. For that, it is excellent. And if you want the selfie function, it’s right there on the “front page.” It also works in Canada..Mykeljon1Version: 6.3.13

The app is a virtual museum to me.I really love this app. It’s a virtual museum to me and it has helped me gain a lot of knowledge about art and culture. It’s a pleasure to visit this app everyday as I could travel to the museums from all over the world..Ks_ksksVersion: 7.9.14

Great, but...Version 7.5.xx removed the 360 view from streetview when moving your phone around (but you can still move around by touching the screen), which was one of the best features of this app. Please bring it back. (Still not working on ios 13.5).JSleRebelVersion: 7.5.29

Google Arts & Culture Negative Reviews

Slow and lacking, but has hidden potentialUnfortunately, even on new devices, the app is slow. It has the hallmarks of being a Web site inside an app wrapper: slow on current devices, poor navigation, and frustrating inconsistencies. It's difficult to skim articles or to share specific sections of long articles because they are presented as slides rather than pages. Artifact pages don't link directly to the articles that have context about them, nor do they have that context in the artifact's description. It seems to lack works from artists within the last century. Google has plenty of money to license these works if need be, assuming it does not fall under fair use in the first place. Some art from important figures is absent, including, e.g., many of Robert Mapplethorpe's works. There doesn't seem to be a way to suggest art to add to the collection. There doesn't seem to be a way for artists to contribute their work, either. There is much potential here if Google would make a native application using the look and feel of iOS (rather than shoehorning their own UI language onto it) and vastly increase the size of their collection..DyllisphillerVersion: 9.2.37

A very odd experience for an iPad Pro userNothing is wrong with the content itself; but I haven’t even been using the app for more than ten minutes and I would say the overall usability is… strange. For one, there’s no ‘dark’ mode. I study art even while I’m in bed, which makes it important for me to be able to use dark mode as a way to avoid the extra eye strain. Secondly, there’s no way for me to go back to the homepage! I don’t know if this experience is exclusive to the iPad; but you would think that having a back button would be the norm for all apps - especially those produced by one of the largest companies on the internet. When I enter my settings, I don’t see any way to access the homepage. There is no quick access menu anywhere onscreen. Swiping anywhere across the screen to switch back also does not work. I would have to go back to the main page by exiting the app and forcing it to close. I highly recommend the app for the art itself, but the UX needs work. If the app missed having these two basic functions (which could be noticed in minutes) i don’t doubt that the issues stop there..Kimo kiVersion: 9.0.38

Needs a lot of workExcellent app in theory however the programming needs a lot of work. Very poor in app functionality such as moving smoothly between images and back to previous menu pages, landscape view is off, when zooming into images you are then unable to continue scrolling to next image without first returning to previous page. Also, many artist pieces are missing. I scrolled through all of the Surrealism pieces looking for Salvador Dali and did not find a single piece by him. Then when I go to Dali’s page on your app, there are barely any of most famous pieces. That is the case for many artists offered on this app. Another example would be Hieronymous Bosch. If these things were all corrected, you would have an excellent app and I will happily change my rating..Kerrynet32Version: 6.0.17

A great potential unrealizedSo broad and comprehensive it is unusable; you might as well use the internet. If you want specificity, like favorite paintings by favorite artists, Pinterest is more functional. The only competitive advantage this has is geographic locations. Let’s say I want to revisit the Louvre, well this works well for museum tours. Hundreds of thousands of items and articles presumes you have infinite time and no plan. If you like to meander endlessly without goal or outcome, other than killing time, than this is for you. If you want to create order and structure out of your artistic preferences and explore undiscovered items similar to what you love, skip this app. I am going to give it another week and then either delete it or revise the review. Let’s see..Reflect101Version: 7.5.29

Legal Fail. Is Google becoming big brother?Google needs to own up to what they’re doing with biometric face scans, and either address the issue with Texas residents or remove the feature altogether. Banning an entire state from using the features on their app is exclusionist, and I doubt if Google’s intentions were pure that they would refrain from simply including a legal notice for Texas residents (based on state laws, TX residents have the right to know what biometric face scans are used for; Google refuses to comply with this, and instead they just opted out entire LARGE state out of this app’s premier feature.) I’ve never been disappointed in a Google product—until now (okay, Google+ sucked too). I’m considering trading in my Google Home for an Apple Speaker, if Google doesn’t improve transparency with its users. This is absurd..Thechris623Version: 6.0.23

Bugs, no way to report themI’m having trouble viewing the AR material, as there are two persistent windows—the initial explanatory one and the one about turning on sound that says “got it?”—on top that won’t go away. Also, scrolling down in galleries covers up text. There’s no place to report these. The two places it looks like should work do not. Maybe this was messed up in the last update; I only downloaded the app yesterday, so I don’t know whether it worked right before. What I have been able to see is beautiful..Kathy the ScribblerVersion: 9.2.37

Bad update?Please correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I can tell there’s no more explore feature where a user can choose mediums, artists, time periods, etc., to organize and sift through pieces. It seems that the two buttons at bottom left from the Home Screen simply now both lead to newsfeeds/curated content that a user can just scroll through. Where is the function to filter works to parameters now located? I’m not referring to the search bar to look for particular pieces or artists, but the ability to discover new works and artists according to user-set parameters.Maester PycelleVersion: 9.2.37

No good reason for Google to limit portrait feature.Update: apparently the state of Texas is not able to get the selfie portrait feature? There’s no good reason why Google needs to limit this by location. Make all content available for all, Google; we can handle it... I scrolled down the homepage repeatedly, searched in the search bars, opened different parts of the app, and still didn’t find it. This is representative of the user experience of this app, generally—it’s not easy to browse or search. I would expect better from Google, but the organization of this project feels a bit like an afterthought compared to the content..ElwpeaVersion: 6.0.17

Take a Selfie - NOTI just downloaded this app because I just learned about it in a news story on “Top 30”. The idea of viewing art from all over the world really appealed to me, but the “Take a Selfie . . . “ feature really intrigued me, so I downloaded the app; BUT I could not find this feature on any of the menu pages. I finally saw a statement on the product description that this feature was available only in certain areas. Huge disappointment! Why does your location affect the availability of this feature? Once I have time to explore the app’s ability to view art from around the world, I may give an updated rating..Wily WallyVersion: 6.0.17

NOT actually art for all 😡😡😡😡IRONIC to create an app that is art for all and then exclude millions of people (Texas and Illinois) not to mention the amount of money invested in art in Chicago, Dallas and Houston, which is where I live. Google did you run out of funding fo this project? I’ve been using gmail since it was in beta testing but I will disown you, you will no longer be invited into my home, to holiday dinners AND I’m writing you out of my will. I put this app in the garbage where it belongs. Since I’m an artist who feels i could get a lot of use out of this app, i am willing to forgive you, but expect and explanation. I am out for blood on this google, and don’t handle FOMO well..Erin is iceVersion: 6.0.17

A terrible app to navigate!It’s so disappointing to learn about this app’s wonderful content yet so frustrating to navigate around numerous works of art, a user experience that doesn’t measure up to Google’s reputation. Firstly, no direct link is available for eager learners to tap on an artwork to learn about its background. One has to jump through different hurdles simply to find basic background information. Secondly, artworks aren’t organized into different genres or time periods, and users have to jump back and forth to search for works of the very same artist. Why not make it as simple as a music playlist to learn and search artwork?.Achilles123Version: 6.0.17

A gimmick that could have been something greatThis app could have been so much more. Google really jumped the gun and let an app that could have been an amazing resource be a social media Gimmick. First launching this app with geographic blocks was a mistake they should have waited for it to be truly ready. The fact that I can search names of master artist and it comes up missing is sad being google a search power house and last not having the experiments imbedded and launching you off the app is just being lazy. Again this app could be great but right now is a viral gimmick!!!.Computerrebel.prVersion: 6.0.17

Missing a lotThis app would be great, if it had more. If you are looking for something in particular chances are they don’t have it. A lot of the stuff on here is impressionistic and abstract, doesn’t have any classical art. Not everyone wants to see starry night blown up in your face. Also the way the app works is very weird, if you click return it brings you back to the home page. If you look something up you get a bunch of random stuff like old photos of random people, why?.LknkkVersion: 9.2.34

Invasion of your privacy, as usualYeah, I don't think so Google - De-installed.

Don’t use in CanadaThis app is geolocked and you cannot use the popular find your portrait feature in Canada. What a waste of time..Joe AbernethyVersion: 6.0.17

I want an art selfie!!Why can’t I get a dang selfie comparison with art? Where did that go? Seriously the only reason I wanted this app..ZoeJeansVersion: 6.0.17

How do I use?Everyone is using this app to find paintings that look like themselves but no where on the app does it let you do that. Since it’s so popular, don’t you think it would be smart to put it right at the front? I can’t even dig and search for it idk how to do it. 0/10 kinda useless..NicoleNakanoVersion: 6.0.17

Not all features present for everyoneI wish I could give this zero stars.EvduchVersion: 6.0.17

Selfie FeatureApparently the selfie feature is not available in Canada. 10/10 would uninstall again..Kody CressVersion: 6.0.17

Region-locking? Come onThis would be such an amazing app if it wasn’t for the region lock. Please get the message, based on all your reviews, and change it..OmgwhyaretherenomorenicknamesVersion: 6.0.17

Portrait selfie feature not availableHow do you not have this feature in Canada. Why isn’t it available in every country? Won’t be reinstalling until its available. Very disappointing..Em8812Version: 6.0.17

Seems like a good conceptI downloaded this app for my EDUC class. I was able to compare 2 photos to arts in a museum. Unfortunately, after that, every time I click on a photo in my gallery to compare it to art prices, the app crashes and boots me out. Please fix this! This is the main function we’re using the app for in my class!.Kat19171917Version: 9.0.38

DisappointingI don’t see much of andy warhol’s work, you guys should get on that! maybe make a authentication program, google should be on top of digitizing art as fast as possible. high res, everything. hit me up if you need help.@skylarmoreauVersion: 7.8.20

StupidI downloaded it to try the art selfie feature but it only lets you take a selfie right then and there not choose one from your camera roll. why? for what? i look so ugly right now i don’t want to take a selfie and get shown what ugly paintings i look like. this is insulting.OmggehehydbandVersion: 7.5.29
