### 5/5 — Five stars for Arting!

*2026-02-05*

I’ve long wanted an app to help me find my way through the galleries and museums of San Francisco, and Arting is the best! Can’t wait to try it in LA later this month!

### 5/5 — Comprehensive but easy

*2026-02-03*

This app has good coverage of top galleries and museums in San Francisco but it’s still easy to use search and browse. I like that I can save my favorites for later so that I don’t forget about our shows that I wanna see.

### 5/5 — Great for catching all the art

*2026-01-21*

So nice and easy to make sure that I don’t miss good shows and exhibitions.  I like that I can heart what I want to see and figure out where everything is on the map so I can see groups of nearby shows at the same time.

I also don’t have to check a bunch of different sites to make sure that I don’t miss upcoming things.
