### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-03-16*

Learning. A lot. ❤️!

**Developer response:** Very thanks for your 5-star rating.

### 2/5 — Pop-up asking for review after every picture viewed, makes this app totally unusable.

*2025-08-30*

Terrible app

**Developer response:** Sorry to bother you, I have corrected the problem.

### 4/5 — ART IS NECESSARY

*2025-08-13, version 7.11.0*

The art is like food and water

### 2/5 — No Descriptions?

*2025-08-03*

Just purchased this app. Now I wish I hadn’t. No ability to search by artist, and no descriptions or information about the artists or the paintings, which is hard to believe with an app like this. Trying to swipe up to see information about a painting only closes the app. It’s not at all intuitive to navigate, and no option to restore purchases so you have to repurchase it for each of your devices. Really disappointing.

### 4/5 — You kinda have to pay or watch a lot of ads to look at any category

*2025-03-08*

It’s really good, though I love medieval art, they have almost everything in here

### 1/5 — Trop de pub

*2024-07-21, version 7.7.6*

Trop de pub

### 3/5 — It’s nice

*2024-07-16*

Takes a while to get used to, but it’s simple and nice

### 5/5 — Really good

*2024-07-08, version 7.7.6*

Everybody must to replace instagram with it

### 5/5 — 加油大宝贝

*2024-05-24*

下载对比了很多个软件决定留下这个，主要是看到开发者对每一条评论的回复，几年来也持续在改进更新，点开就是简约的排版设计，没有其他的那么花里胡哨。嗯…还就是注意到了很多人提到的名画问题，很多名画都涉及到版权这一块了希望大家能理解，我也看到开发者有单独的列出名画其他渠道，总是肯定是一个很用心的人！已经推荐朋友了，希望大宝贝以后能越来越好

**Developer response:** 十分感谢你的好评，你的好评是对我最大的鼓励
