I type in the image WORD FOR WORD and the artist’s name AND I STILL CANNOT FIND THE IMAGE!! ### 3/5 — Low Quality Images? *2022-10-17, version 3.18* Why are the images in the app in low quality? Do I have to buy the update or something? ### 3/5 — Search Feature has Stopped Working *2022-09-17, version 3.18* I doubt it will be fixed, seeing as this app hasn’t been updated in years, but if you are the Dev reading this review, please fix the search feature. It’s stopped working. ### 1/5 — Looks like there is no developer left *2022-09-16, version 3.18* I was getting quite excited to download and use this app. But reading through the reviews I see there hasn't been a update or response for several years. So beware. I'm not gonna download it. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-06-30, version 3.18* Amazing Love this site, love the app, love the artists ### 4/5 — Ok app part’s broken *2022-06-14, version 3.18* Works well, needs the pay version to access nsfw art. Also the watch feed does work. Just takes you to the same place as posting a status. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-06-06, version 3.18* This app is great! I do kinda wish there is a commenting and chat update so I could talk to my friends. (DA is blocked on my phone right now) and I wish you can let users log in through the app as well. Otherwise this is a really good app :) ### 1/5 — Until another Update Happens, it won’t work (?) *2022-02-14, version 3.18* For now, I am unable to use it as the artist names no longer appear and no longer syncs favorites to the account. While the search function does still work as intended, without the ability to sync my actions to my account, the app is more useful as a rough search function over a replacement. Honestly, if you want a replacement for the DA app, use the safari browser. It works, and has better functions than their own app. ### 1/5 — No longer a useful app anymore *2022-02-07, version 3.18* Since all categories have been eliminated there is no way to eliminate the 95% of the art I am not interested in. No longer use deviant art anymore like I did 5 years ago. ### 3/5 — Very useful *2022-01-11, version 3.18* I bought the paid pro version and it doesn’t give me the feature of being able to view owners other photos. I would hope that this gets fixed ## Frequently asked questions about Art Explorer for deviantART ### What does Art Explorer for deviantART do?
