Seems like a good concept
I 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!

A very odd experience for an iPad Pro user
Nothing 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.

It’s okay
I 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.

cool app, needs dark mode
i would like to use the app more, its 2am and my eyes hurt from the bright white colour scheme.
I really appreciate the devs who work on this, thank you.

Looking for the “selfie” feature
Can’t find it
Lockdown Support
When Australia was in lockdown, I couldn’t achieve my dream - to travel and explore countless worldwide museums and art galleries! But this app helped a lot - with virtual tours, games and rewards, Google Arts & Cultures is amazing. I recommend it for anyone struggling with the COVID crisis.
Wonderful….and keep going further Google.
This app is already awesome, it appears to have the potential to be and do much more as an educational and cultural device/platform of engagement, particularly in these times of isolation, and the need to pay strong attention to energy use and travel. I really hope Google invest more into this application….one of those things could be a campaign to help it be wider known. My kids, and my wife and I love this app. Best wishes to all.

Weak and terrible as photo editor.
Has a massive art, gallery data base, but nothing good beside that. Photos creating mode is terrible- the worst I had ever seen. To personal photos to art pictures is really bad... zero in common but it says 50%-60% . I read about it before, so it’s nothing more, nothing less what I expected. Very limited as photo editor. Maybe it is useful as art gallery app, but I have no use for it in my life - maybe art teacher for school will appreciate it more..

One of the Best
This is a great app with something for everyone on it. I think I have explored it all but no..... I find something else. A wonderful app to spend time on.
Works janky
This 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.
