### 1/5 — Crashing on New York City Gallery detail pages

*2023-07-17*

Started happening a few months ago, still not fixed. Crashes as soon as you open the detail page (the details pop up for less than a second, and then the crash)

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2023-07-10*

Great app but there’s a bug that keeps crashing LA galleries (all and West Hollywood).

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-07-06*

I also have been experiencing the crashing problem others have remarked on.

### 1/5 — Artforum doesn't care about this app

*2023-07-06*

This app is never maintained and crashes every time i open it up. No customer service 
There lasy with software updates

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore

*2023-06-19*

I regularly use this app. But it seems to have stopped working.

### 2/5 — Great app, but unusable

*2023-06-18*

This app used to be great, but currently it crashes every time I use it. For example I am able to choose the city (New York), category (museums), neighborhood (midtown), and then the app vanishes. This happens again and again. I deleted the app and reimported: same thing happens. I would rate it five stars if it worked.

### 1/5 — crashing

*2023-06-11*

good app but crashes everytime now

### 4/5 — I love the app, but all of a sudden it’s crashing…

*2023-05-04*

After I open the app, I click the city I want, and then it takes me to the next page where I can click “opening soon”, “galleries”, etc. and as soon as I click on that page the app crashes. I’ve tried reinstalling, restarting the phone, etc. Nothing seems to help.

I’m using iPhone XR, version iOS 16.3.1

Please let me know if you can help.

### 4/5 — Crashing

*2023-05-01*

Love this app I use it all the time for scheduling gallery hops. Suddenly started crashing though whenever I try to open a specific area “Chelsea” for example. Downloaded the new art guide app for NY but it doesn’t offer the map feature. Not sure what’s going on?? Frustrating.

### 3/5 — crashing after new ios update

*2023-04-25*

previously loved the app. 
now it crashes consistently. I have deleted and reinstalled to no avail. 

any assistance would be appreciated.

### 3/5 — Current bug

*2022-12-16, version 5.9*

The app is no longer working to make a list to save. Once you leave that screen you saved shows don’t save to your list. This was a great app it’s a shame it hasn’t been updated in 10 Months.

### 2/5 — Great app but currently myguide not working

*2022-11-25, version 5.9*

It will not let me add any galleries or museums to myguide, which is the main reason I use the app. Great app if it works.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-11-05, version 5.9*

App doesn’t work sign in feature not responsive and myguide unavailable

### 4/5 — Great app but there’s a new bug in the program

*2019-05-10, version 4.2*

I have used this app for years and find it essential. I prefer it to the alternative, SeeSaw, because of the ability to select the galleries on your desktop and have it sync to your phone. 

However, now there’s a bug: on both my iPhone and iPad, running the latest version and the most recent operating system, it will not sync my account although it does log in. It returns an error message: “Please check your internet connectivity” although every other aspect of the app works. I hope they fix this soon.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We have fixed the syncing issue on our new version.

### 1/5 — Glitch that makes it almost worthless

*2019-03-20, version 4.1*

Over the last month, have reviewed it as I always do and use the MY GUIDE option. Can spend 10-15 minutes creating a list. A day later, 90% of MY GUIDE (but not all of them) were gone. Annoyed but not giving up, did it again, but sure enough happened again. 
I am not hitting “clear” either. 

Something is wrong in which they don’t save your My Guide. 

That’s the only reason why I use the app. If that matters to you, then don’t waste your time with it. I’m deleting it off my phone. It’s unfortunate because there were good things about it but you can find better and less glitchy.

### 1/5 — crashes constantly

*2024-03-08*

I can’t even use the app because it crashes when I try to click on any option.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2024-03-02*

This app cannot be used on my iPhone anymore. It crashes every time I open it. I am an Artforum subscriber and this used to be terrific but now is a failure and rip-off.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-02-02*

I’ve deleted and reinstalled this app on my iPhone 14 many times over the past 6 months. It always crashes. It used to be pretty handy app but now it’s just a time waster. Use the website instead.

### 1/5 — Can’t search

*2024-01-19*

Tried to search for shows in San Fransisco. Once selected a city, I couldn't choose from any of the next options— the app kicked me out. Repeated twice, same error.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2024-01-10*

I loved this app, and used it for years. But now it crashes every time I try to open one of the region / menu links

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2023-11-10*

This app has not been updated and crashes as soon as it’s opened. Too bad as I used it regularly for years. I deleted it, sadly.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-11-07*

Loved using this app for tracking shows to see around NYC. Haven’t been able to use it for about a year because it crashes when I select a gallery neighborhood from the list. Today I tried again to delete and reinstall. No luck.

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2023-10-11*

I’ve used it for years. Has not worked recently, at all

### 1/5 — Developers no longer updating?

*2023-09-24*

This app used to be great but now is close to unusable! Crashes within seconds of clicking on listings. Hope they can get this updated to work with to new iOS systems. Seesaw is now far far superior.

### 1/5 — Impossible to see anything

*2023-08-24*

It crashes immediately you open it

### 5/5 — Incredibly Useful

*2018-12-14, version 3.27*

Thank you Artforum for this wonderful resource.

### 5/5 — Tres bien

*2017-04-11, version 3.2*

I just used the artforum artguide app while visiting Paris.  I was able to see a ton of galleries as the app is very thorough with their listings. Additionally the map feature made navigating all the little streets with tucked away galleries easy to find. I highly recommend it when trekking around and discovering galleries in new cities. Tres bien.

### 5/5 — Well done-keep it up.

*2017-03-06, version 3.2*

Thank you for making this app. It's very use duo to have a well design app that you can curate a organized gallery walk. Please keep it up and add as much content and good design as you can.

### 5/5 — Essential app for gallery hopping

*2017-03-05, version 3.2*

Great app and easy to use. Gives a comprehensive overview of galleries and museums. The map feature makes planning an afternoon so easy. Especially great for when traveling to new cities. Far more in depth than other apps. It's definitely a must have!

### 5/5 — Necessary for planning an afternoon of gallery hopping

*2017-03-03, version 3.2*

Artguide makes it so easy to hop around from place to place and save a queue of shows I want to see. I have been able to keep track of openings and closings and have found a bunch of new galleries I never knew about through Artguide. A must have!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-03-03, version 3.2*

Excellent and comprehensive listing of art exhibitions by city.  The myguide feature is particularly helpful! You can add exhibitions to your myguide list while browsing, then view as a list and also on a map.  Brilliant feature !

### 5/5 — So essential

*2017-03-02, version 3.2*

Hands-down the best way to scope out shows in any city in the world. I use it all the time in NYC and whenever I travel - so helpful to be able to view galleries & museums on a map, and really love the clean design. A must-have

### 5/5 — must have

*2017-03-02, version 3.2*

Very helpful and handy. Easy to navigate. Saved me a lot of time to find information I need. Great tool for art lovers and professionals!

### 5/5 — Love the latest update!
