While spending more time at home in 2020, my wife and I became subject to our amazing kids generating mountains of arts and crafts. We were so proud of our kids for finding new ways to explore their creativity, from homemade drawings, to lego castles, to educational crate-kits. However, we began to notice one unfortunate byproduct: these projects were piling up! We thought about how we could minimize the clutter while still celebrating our children's creativity. Artbox allows us to track and record our kids' artistic journey while simultaneously being able to ‘recycle’ the build-up. Goodbye clutter, hello efficiency! Our kids have even caught on to the idea, and get so excited to add their latest creation to their unique and colorful profile. It's a win-win! We hope you enjoy using Artbox in your home as much as we do! == Terms & Privacy == https://artbox.app/terms/ https://artbox.app/privacypolicy/ == Credits == Onboarding screens provided by https://www.freepik.com/vectorjuice ## Key features - Digital art project storage - Project details capture - Browse by artist or gallery - Keyword search - Photo book ordering - Lock screen widgets - iCloud backup and sync ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Artbox+ Yearly | $8.99 | per year | | Artbox+ Monthly | $1.99 | per month | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Sushi-Sized Tip | $9.99 | one-time | | Coffee-Sized Tip | $0.99 | one-time | | Smoothie-Sized Tip | $2.99 | one-time | | Burger-Sized Tip | $5.99 | one-time | | Artbox+ Lifetime | $59.99 | one-time | | Lifetime Family | $49.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 20) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/artbox-crafting-memories/id1557964462/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Cool but intrusive ads after paying *2025-11-29* App functionality is nice but there is a big banner ad at the bottom of the screen that seems like a bug that persists even when you sub… feeling scammed **Developer response:** Hello. That banner you mention is the Indie App Ad banner which is fully configurable in settings. Just turn the toggle off if you don’t want to see them. ### 5/5 — Private, well designed *2025-01-11* Love that data is stored and encrypted with Apple rather than developer. Greatly enhances privacy and security. Love the ability to export ZIP files of all art for archival. Very cheap app. Well designed with native iOS feel. **Developer response:** Hey thanks so much! ### 2/5 — Gute Idee, nervige Bugs *2024-09-06* Schöne App fürs Archivieren von Kunstwerken der Kleinen, nur leider spinnt regelmäßig das Sync-Feature. Einziger Ausweg ist Neuinstallation, wobei man alle nicht Synchronisierten Daten verliert. Ein Update ist lange überfällig. ### 3/5 — It’s good…but *2024-06-17* I actually use this app to store my own artwork and I really wish that I could have multiple photos in a project without having to pay, especially because I make a lot of 3D artwork and want to show multiple angles. I do understand why you need to pay because they have to make money somehow, but honestly I would prefer ads. Also, and this is more important honestly, I wish that you didn’t have to crop the images to be square. Most of my artworks are rectangular, or the photo of it is. Because there’s a set crop ratio I have to crop out parts of my art, or zoom out and include extra background. It’s very frustrating. Otherwise I like this app and I can at least use it decently free, some similar apps require membership :( **Developer response:** Hi there! I thought you’d like to know that Artbox now features a completely new photo cropping mechanism and it should totally meet your needs! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2024-01-03* I hated throwing away my kids stuff. Taking pictures of their creations was also unmanageable and undiscoverable in the photos app. I’m so glad I came across this app. My older kid loves revisiting her work from months and years past. **Developer response:** So glad to hear Artbox has helped you and your family. Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — It’s great! *2023-11-23* I think it’s great! ### 5/5 — Self *2023-11-18* Yo ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-10-03* The crop tool doesn’t work properly on my iOS. Also it would be cool if you could create a public portfolio instead of always sharing permissions with people. If you add please keep things private with the option to do so **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Cropping has been revamped and is much more flexible now. ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2023-08-19* The best app ever! I love love love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2023-04-16* The best ## Frequently asked questions about Artbox ### What is Artbox used for?
