### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-01-27*

L’application est bien faite et pleine d’anecdotes!

On aimerait tout de même avoir plus d’œuvres car certains artistes manquent à l’appel !

### 5/5 — Beautiful Art On The BIG Screen 🖼

*2022-03-03*

I thoroughly enjoy this app—which I mainly use on my tv—with its vibrant colors, informative captions, and beautiful artwork… which is so detailed with the layering that if feels like you’re viewing the page of a digital pop-up book! In addition, the melodic music really sets the tone of walking through a gallery, and many times I enjoy just having the artwork on my screen while relaxing, doing chores, etc. 

 There are just a few things I would love to see implemented: 
 

1. An option to have the artwork transition to the next—or randomized—after a certain period of time. 

2. On the tv app, change the behavior of the settings menu. As of now, there is no way to exit that screen; if you press the ‘back’ button, you exit the app altogether instead of going back to the main menu.

3. Also—on the tv app—sometimes, when opening a painting, the captions will appear… but never go away.  Usually, if you exit the painting then re-open it, it will function correctly, but it’s hit or miss.

Hopefully, these things will be added/corrected in a future update.

### 5/5 — Amazing journey of discovery

*2021-01-12*

l discovered many artists l never knew. Amazing, please also make apps for sculptures, architecture, and world art.

### 5/5 — Stopped working

*2019-10-02*

This app is absolutely fantastic, unfortunately after the new tv
iOS it has stopped working on Apple tv4k

**Developer response:** Glad you've liked it.
We've just released an update to fix the new AppleTV bug.
Please install it. If the problem persists please send us an email to hello@landka.com

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-10-29*

I had previously purchased the live version and wished it had more information. That is exactly what the legacy version is.   It had brief useful and interesting background information with a nice timeline that you can breeze through at your own pace.  Wonderful for anyone interested in knowing a little about classic art without getting too deep into complicated details.  Great when you have a few minutes or a few hours to sit and enjoy

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2016-12-20*

This is a wonderful app, and the music is amazing.

### 5/5 — Great on the new AppleTV

*2015-12-19*

Came across this in the new AppleTV and decided to buy it. My wife and I have often visited museums in Europe where these paintings are housed. Next to seeing the painting in person, this is the best experience I've had interacting with the art. The parallax effect is clever and instantly imparts a dynamism that draws you in. 

I was really surprised that my 12 year old daughter spent a good 20 minutes with me perusing some of the earlier painting.  The descriptions are short and sweet and even understandable by my 12 year old (to a degree). 

Ideas for improvement:
- it wasn't intuitive that you simply tap to advance to the next painting. I kept clicking at first. 
- many of the paintings are cropped and I had a nagging feeling that I am missing the larger context. 
- perhaps offer professional narration as an in-app purchase. I don't mind reading but the text can take up valuable screen space. Audio narration would have been cool.

Overall this is one of the better apps on the AppleTV. Very glad you guys made it. Keep up the good work.
