## What is Artico X?

Carry every museum visit with you.                              
                                                                                                                                                
  Artico turns time spent with art into something you can revisit. Photograph a label, a painting, a sculpture in any gallery, and Artico tells 
  you who made it, when, why, and what to look for — in the language you read in.
                                                                                                                                                
  Three quiet rituals:                                            

  SCAN — point your camera at a piece. Artico identifies the work and writes a short, considered note about it.                                 
  
  VISIT — every scan from a single museum is gathered into one Visit, with a wrap-up at the end so the day doesn't dissolve.                    
                                                                  
  LISTEN — turn on the audio narration to hear the story read aloud while you keep walking.                                                     
                                                                  
  Designed in the spirit of an editorial — quiet typography, no badges, no tabs, no noise.                                                      
  
  Six languages: English, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Français, Italiano.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-28

- Improved scan-detail navigation: after viewing a fresh scan, swipe left to return to the camera.
  - Fixed navigation gestures so a swipe on scan details no longer accidentally switches to another home tab.
  - Made back, close, and detail controls larger and easier to tap.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-05-19

Library scans now use the photo's own location. Scan an old photo of a place you visited last year and the pin lands where the photo was taken, not where you are today.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-05-10

• Lock-screen narration — start a reading, lock your phone, keep listening. Title and artwork appear on the lock screen.
  • Redesigned Atlas. Hero stat numbers, the full wall of every museum you've stamped, and a 12-month timeline of when you've been reading the most. 
  • Credits stay in sync across the camera and profile pages — no more pulling to refresh.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-05-07

• Redesigned welcome — a three-page intro that walks you through framing, reading, and remembering each work, plus a gesture compass on your first camera open.                                                                                                                                       • Clearer credits screen — when you run out, you go straight to top-up instead of an ambiguous popup.
• Refreshed app icon.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-06

Two new ways to read your map:

  Passport — country stamps for everywhere you've scanned.
  Most Read — the eras your readings come from.

  Quieter housekeeping:
  · Visit pages now align correctly regardless of cover orientation.
  · Your real name appears in Profile when the sign-in provider gives one.
  · Signing out leaves no trace of your scans on the device.
  · Tap a piece on the Atlas map and you go straight to its page.
