Can’t wait to see what else they add *2026-06-20, version 2.8.0* This app is already great and has a lot of potential. There are a few things that could really improve it. I wish you could -see the name of the artist and the artwork after you guess. -specify which artists you want to focus on. -double tap to zoom in on the picture. -star ones to get tested on more often -guess which time period/style artwork is from -app usage streaks -have the option to view facts/info about the art after you guess -get a hint to help guess -an idk option ### 2/5 — Moyen *2026-04-29* C’est une application intéressante pour apprendre les bases mais il y a trop d artiste identique mais écrit de manière différente et je trouve que cela perturbe trop. Il faudrait que les noms soit en majuscule. Application brouillon ### 3/5 — Art *2026-04-14* Je viens juste de télécharger l’application, on a une mise en contexte au début avec un quizz de tableau. Ça aurait été mieux si on avait l’histoire des différents courants, les caractéristiques et les artistes. Quelques clés pour vite reconnaître les courants ou le travail des artistes. ### 2/5 — Приложение для тренировки обезьян *2026-04-08* Приложение для тренировки обезьянок. Вы не найдете никакой информации о картинах или о стилях в живописи, или о художниках, и так далее. Но вас, как собачку, натренируют сопоставлять картину и имя художника. У-ля-ля, ни в коем случае не тратьте на это деньги! Лучше пребывать в блаженном незнании, чем пытаться сойти за умника. ### 3/5 — Вопрос *2026-03-14* Скажите пожалуйста, а почему в вопросах про картину спрашивают только имена художников, а название картин спрашивали только в введении? ### 4/5 — I love this app so much i sound like a paid sponsor *2026-03-08, version 2.6.1* The app is formatting like a duolingo language learning course, which i enjoy. This app is beautiful. for the lack of ads and with how much you can do without premium just really shows how much this app cares about people learning art as opposed to profit. Truly in it for the love of the game. I’m an AP art history student so i will be using this a ton to study, and it makes me really happy to see apps like these, esp ones that don’t force a membership down your throat ### 4/5 — Interesante y gráfica *2026-02-15, version 2.6.1* Me gusta mucho la estética y como funciona, no le doy las 5 estrellas porque pienso que podría complementarse con fragmentos de historia en las lecciones. La aplicación es ideal para aprender a diferenciar los autores más famosos y como eran sus obras pero aunque se de manera únicamente informática estaría bien incorporar el contexto histórico del momento, explicar las técnicas e influencias y si se va ampliando la aplicación poco a poco gracias a los contribuidores ir acompañándola de movimientos arquitectónicos y escultura. Muy recomendable para memorizar cuadros y autores. ### 3/5 — Needs a Streak Widget *2026-02-09, version 2.6.1* It’s good, but it needs a small streak widget like Duolingo/Manna/Brain Elevate. I probably will forget to use it. ### 5/5 — review *2026-02-01, version 2.6.1* It’s a really good app 🤙🏻 ### 2/5 — Quizz uniquement *2026-01-14* L’application est faite de quizz uniquement, ça manque cruellement de contexte/informations sur les auteurs/explications d’œuvres. De plus, même en français les noms/prénoms sont inversés ceux qui complique grandement l’apprentissage lorsqu’il s’agit d’artistes internationaux ou au noms composés… Pour une application payante, ça ne vaut clairement pas le coup. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spam *2026-08-05, version 2.8.0* Since I signed up for this app I’ve been getting spam emails and calls. ### 1/5 — Membership Not accessible *2026-07-01, version 2.8.0* This app seemed interesting to me due to the fact that I can learn about our history in different paintings. However, when I’ve got the membership, I wasn’t aware that my membership was starting. My card was charged in March for membership that claimed to have began at the end of the December. So I’ll re-download the app to begin the membership and it never adapted to the to the account. So inherently I pay for something I don’t have access to. And every time I reached out even sending the app information over to. Nothing changed and I sent that information over twice. I tried to get a refund and due to the timing of it, I wasn’t able to receive that. However, I was okay with the membership but the fact I just paid $30 and have no access to this service is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Charged Immediately Despite Free Trial *2026-06-11, version 2.7.0* The app advertised a free trial, but I was charged immediately instead. After canceling the subscription, I ended up with no active subscription and no refund. This feels misleading and unfair. I would like my money back, as the trial offer was not honored. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-06-09* Приложение не качественное, не посмотреть, требует покупки всего. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2026-06-06, version 2.7.0* This is really just a quiz platform so if you’re starting from zero knowledge about our history, it will not teach you anything! ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2026-03-19, version 2.6.1* Doesn’t teach anything - memory test. And a three day trial is ridiculous. Wouldn’t have kept this, but now stuck with a year subscription. ### 1/5 — Описание *2026-02-28* Подтяните уже описания из вики, а. Чтобы хоть какая-то информация была ### 1/5 — Cannot cancel during trial period *2026-02-10, version 2.6.1* Misleading free trial with no in-app cancellation. The app directs you to Apple Subscriptions where it doesn’t appear. I emailed customer support to cancel and received no response. ### 1/5 — Extremely disappointed *2026-02-09, version 2.6.1* Not much of the information is given, directly takes you to the quiz. And everything is paid to access. ### 1/5 — Только название картин и всё, *2026-01-28* Никакого описания картин, в чем урок заключается? Две строчки название картины и все???? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — прекрасно *2026-08-19, version 2.8.0* полезное приложение, помогает изучать картины художников разных эпох. хотелось бы побольше тестовой части ### 5/5 — Art quizes *2026-07-28, version 2.8.0* Love taking quizes and memorizing art masterpieces ### 5/5 — Mr C *2026-06-19, version 2.8.0* Absolutely brilliant. The quizzes are keeping me going at this moment in time!! Thank you… ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-10, version 2.7.0* Nice app, love it please add more ### 5/5 — Stylé de fou *2026-04-06, version 2.7.0* Swag ! ### 5/5 — Genial *2026-03-20, version 2.6.1* Imprescindible para aprender ### 5/5 — Спасибо *2026-03-13* Пять звезд! ### 5/5 — Arts *2026-02-24, version 2.6.1* Very clever ### 5/5 — Art Education *2026-02-07, version 2.6.1* My wife’s an artist and we love to use this app when we are In the kitchen together cooking and a learning ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-02-05, version 2.6.1* I love the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
