### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-03-02, version 2.0.1*

I love this app! The free version gives you a lot of access, and for $.99 a month, you get access to many more. I am currently only utilizing the free version, and I love it because I have an old iPad that I’m using as a screen, and I just have the art randomly rotating. With the free version, you can still download or access many different pieces of artwork, into several categories, so while it is limited, it’s an amazing free app that’s very underrated!

### 1/5 — Crashes every time without when I try to open the this app

*2022-10-13, version 2.0.1*

Crashes every time without when I try to open the this app.

My device: iPad pro 12.9“ (2018, 3rd generation)  
IPA's: 15.7 or later

Note: regularly update my review /rating for this application.

### 1/5 — Very small collection

*2020-01-11, version 1.0.14*

They talk about having access to 100k pieces of artwork, yet their entire collection of “baroque” is 32 images.  Less for “Renaissance”.  I thought that those catagories were overly broad, bordering on useless,  now I know why.  If they had “Flemish baroque” as a gallery, that gallery would have, at best, 2 paintings.

### 1/5 — How does it work?

*2019-05-02*

I downloaded this app sometime ago and then subscribed hoping that I would have access to more artwork. Unfortunately, after subscribing I was unable to work out how to access this additional art so I cancelled the subscription. So much for user friendly apps....

### 3/5 — Not deep

*2018-01-08*

Worth it for 1.39$, but bland. Would like to see much more modern(after 1960 and at least till last week).
There should at least be one tab for sculpture.
I use it on my AppleTV for decoration or to pass the time.
