I love how easy it is to add projects and sync between devices. I also love throwing away the hard copies knowing that I have them stored :) Thanks for making this! **Developer response:** Oh my gosh you’re so welcome! Thank you for the review 🤩 ### 5/5 — Covid Creations Storage *2021-09-17* I saw an article about this app and thought it was a brilliant idea... not for kid's drawings (we're past that stage now) but for a place to store all the photos of my Covid Creations. With Victoria spending so much time in lockdown, I kept myself busy creating. So my artists are Recycled Denim, Sewing, Knitting, Felting etc. I had a few teething issues but contacted Support who returned my email within 24 hours. Impressive! This is a great concept for all sorts of storage options and makes it easier to find and show my creations as needed. Great work Ryan and I hope to see the 'drag and drop' option soon! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2021-10-15* I really want to use this app, but I can’t even get my kids info loaded into the app because it crashes every time. **Developer response:** == Update == Thanks for contacting me directly per below so I could resolve the issues you were experiencing. I hope you continue to enjoy using Artbox! == Original Reply == Please contact me at hello@artbox.app so I can help you. We have hundreds of happy users who don’t have this issue. ### 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! ### 3/5 — Good app, but lack of ability to share limits use *2021-10-28* This app works quite well and has some great features, especially the ability to sync via iCloud, but the glaring absence of a feature to share portfolios with others is a huge limitation that means I can't rate it higher than 3 stars. **Developer response:** Update Apr 12 2023 Hi AviN456, I thought you'd like to know that artist profile sharing is now available as of version 2.11. I hope you like it! -- Original developer response: I'm so glad the app is working for you as it was intended! Thanks for highlighting the features you find valuable. Sharing Artbox data with other Artbox users is high on the priority list, so please keep an eye out. 👍 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Nice app, but no easy Export/Backup All *2022-05-13* I really like Artbox and am a Pro subscriber. One feature that I really wish Artbox had was an easy way to export ALL data—metadata and media. I know I can export all metadata by itself, and I know I can export it each project by itself. But what I really want is a way to do a full, complete backup of all media and metadata (for all projects) with one click and then pick the export location. Syncing to iCloud is great, but that isn’t a real backup. And I want a real backup I can export and save to a location of my choice. Is that something you could add? (It seems like it wouldn’t be too hard since you can already to it piecemeal.) It would also be nice if my spouse and I could somehow sync/share Artbox with each other instead of having to use it separately. Keep up the great work! **Developer response:** Update Apr 12 2023: Hi Arandur, I thought you'd like to know that project media export, as well as artist profile sharing is now available in Artbox as of version 2.11! -- Original developer response: Thanks Arandur for the feedback! These items are on the roadmap and would be an excellent addition to the app. Thanks so much for being a Pro user! ### 4/5 — Good app overall *2021-06-12* Good app, basically the answer to my prayers as I have been hoarding my child’s artwork from nursery - however sometimes when trying to see an entry the app doesn’t want to respond, only reason I’ve docked a star because other than that I love it! **Developer response:** == Developer update Sept. 14 2021 == The reported issue in this review has been fixed as of version 2.1 == Original Reply == Hey thanks for the lovely review! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the app. I’ve noticed this behavior you mentioned every once in a while too. It will be addressed in a future update! ### 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! ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s great! *2023-11-23* I think it’s great! ### 5/5 — Self *2023-11-18* Yo ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2023-08-19* The best app ever!
