I did see others successfully use it, but it didn’t work for me. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2023-11-04, version 1.0.6.0* Stood there for 5 minutes moving my Phone around - nothing. ### 3/5 — fading *2022-09-21* It has potential to be useful while hanging around in the studio. Be it’s so super glitchy. This app really needs an update version. Where did the creative team disappear too. no love in it. ### 3/5 — Grant Camera Access *2022-04-21* Trying to use the app and it’s not allowing me to open any of the artwork, sending an error message, saying I need to grant access to camera. I check my settings, and it doesn’t even have the option. It should’ve asked me to allow it when I opened the app to start. ### 3/5 — AR not working *2022-04-19, version 1.0.5.3* I recently downloaded the app and my phone won’t let me give Acute Art camera access. At first I thought it was a problem with my phone, however, I downloaded the app on other iPhone models and an iPad and they all have the same issue. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2022-01-17* Keep killing it! ### 3/5 — Almost great *2021-11-22, version 1.0.4.6* The AR visuals worked perfectly on my phone but the sound was automatically going out through the top speaker only. I could use my earphones but not my Bluetooth speaker which was deceiving. ### 1/5 — Some people believe art should be about pain *2021-08-26, version 1.0.4.2* I’m not a believer. App failed on android and loaded but did not work on iPhone. Kept clicking “activate” and the button would just come on again ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and bad UX *2021-06-11* This app is supposed to use gesture control and more visual cue to help the app become more discoverable. Current experience is disorganized and not user friendly. Deleting the app ### 1/5 — Forcing location information! - DELETED *2021-02-23, version 1.0.3.4* Such a shame - I read an article about this App and was really excited to install it. Opened it app and was faced with a ‘enable location services for better results’, I tried to proceed without that but I got into a loop where the app tells me, ‘that they’ll keep my location information private promise’. Sorry but even if that’s true maybe I don’t want to give YOU my location! The fact that you cannot proceed without sharing location information shows a level of arrogance on the developer’s part and therefore I have deleted the app and am now annoyed. Can’t believe in this day and age people still think this is acceptable. ## Frequently asked questions about Acute Art ### What is this app?
