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.

Fine for art, not for the face match feature

Like 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.

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.

Self Portrait

Why can’t I do this on the app!??? Where is it

only works in specific regions

I’m still kinda surprised people having seen enough comments to realize this only works if you live in specific regions (mostly America). And also, to the person that claimed that since they lived in Asia and it didn’t work because it possibly doesn’t work with Asian faces, I’m Asian American and it matched many faces with me! Even the ethnicity was spot on. Love the app

I’m annoyed

Why doesn’t the google art selfie thing work?!?!!! Seriously fix it I’m mad!!!!! I just want to find my look alike, I have never seen anyone that looks like me!!!!!!!!

Where is the face match part of the app?

Downloaded this so I can take a selfie and see which painting I look like - but that feature is nowhere to be found. Is it because I’m in Australia or is this a fantastical scam to increase downloads and popularity of this app? If so, well played I guess. If not, hurry up and update it so that all users can have fun with this highly publicised feature.

Interesting but malfunctioning

Like other people I downloaded looking for the find your portrait feature which doesn't seem to be available in the UK... but to be fair it's not advertised on the official app description. Plus the rest of the app still looks interesting so I don't mind having installed it. the bigger problem is that it is very very buggy. Things fail or take a long time to load, the search bar malfunctions so I can't see what I'm typing etc - surprised at this from a google product. Hopefully an update will arrive soon?

😭😢 face match not available in NZ!

Totally bummed that there is no face match outside of the USA. I haven’t bothered to look at anything else on the app. I’m sure it would be good but sadly the lack of face match has sucked the joy right out of my day. ☹️😭

Good app but region restriction is annoying

I downloaded this for the face-match feature being advertised everywhere yet it doesn't seem to work in my country.
