### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Please, work on it a bit more

*2021-01-24, version 1.0.3.4*

It doesn’t work all the time or the instructions are not enough . Quite disappointed

### 1/5 — Hopeless!

*2020-10-03, version 1.0.3.0*

Tried to use this app for the Nuit Blanche in Paris. Every time I tried to start the experience, it kicked me out after a couple of seconds, before it had done anything. Very disappointing!

### 2/5 — Error keeps popping up.

*2020-08-09*

The app just says “point to the floor”. After I do that nothing happens...

**Developer response:** Hi Mildred, thank you for your feedback. Once you point your phone to the floor, tap the pink circle to anchor the work. Let us know how you get on!

### 1/5 — It crashes a lot!

*2020-07-07, version 1.0.2.6*

The app keeps crashing and is hard to use.

### 2/5 — Where?

*2020-05-15*

Tap to place doesn’t work. Art appears in completely different palaces and out of frame. Doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review. Please contact our Customer Support team at customersupport@acuteart.com where further assistance can be provided.

### 4/5 — Good start

*2020-05-14, version 1.0.2.4*

A collective place for a AR art is neat. Some of the UX needs improvement though. I found scrolling to the desired piece I want to place on the carousel a little too sensitive and would often overshoot. The app has crashed about 4 times on me today so far too, which isn’t ideal, but I reckon it’s got good potential. I’ll keep an eye out for updates.

### 1/5 — AGO KAWS

*2023-12-28, version 1.0.6.0*

Tried to get this to work on a few of the art pieces in the AGO - specifically for the KAWS exhibition while standing in the designated area - but it didn’t work. 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — It does nothing

*2021-02-16, version 1.0.3.4*

It opens and that’s it, it doesn’t do anything else 🤷🏽‍♀️

### 1/5 — Must be a joke.

*2021-01-13*

Still waiting for the email with my password. Deleted this app immediately. If you’re going to charge for the art at least make it easy to start using the app right away. Glad I didn’t get to spend money on it, at least.

### 1/5 — Struggling to get it to work

*2020-12-28, version 1.0.3.4*

Phone fully updated, charged, etc, and am in the right places but app keeps crashing, failing, etc. Disappointing!

### 1/5 — It hardly works

*2020-12-13, version 1.0.3.4*

Safe your time, it does not work

### 1/5 — Not  user friendly

*2020-12-09, version 1.0.3.4*

App not easy to understand. It says select View to start but there isn’t any option for view

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2020-12-10*

I only wish there were more artworks to view virtually in my home. I only found two (the KORS figure and the small puffin). I paid $1.99 for one of the Olaffsen works but it never showed up.  Please contact or commission more artists.

A cool way to show art anywhere and to display kaws creativity in your own way

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5 star review!

### 5/5 — Great app, shameless plug @wrathofbortex on Instagram

*2020-04-27, version 1.0.2.3*

@wrathofbortex on Instagram. I do art. Kaws is a legend for this app. Truly revolutionary.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2020-04-26*

Why does it not let me use my AirPods when I’m using the app
