Just a lot of images grouped together …. Muy confuso ### 1/5 — DOODOO app it’s poop *2022-09-16, version 6.7.0* **** this app ### 1/5 — Pop-up asking for review after every picture viewed, makes this app totally unusable. *2021-02-15, version 3.4.0* Terrible app **Developer response:** Sorry to bother you, I have corrected the problem. ### 2/5 — Pop-up asking for review after every picture viewed, makes this app totally unusable. *2025-08-30, version 7.11.0* Terrible app ### 2/5 — No Descriptions? *2025-08-03, version 7.11.0* 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. ### 3/5 — It’s nice *2024-07-16, version 7.7.6* Takes a while to get used to, but it’s simple and nice ### 3/5 — Nice effort, but very limited if you don’t pay. *2022-03-08, version 5.5.0* You may get fewer negative reviews if you put a time limit before begging for payment (say seven days for example) for a so called “free app with in app purchases.” Everyone does not have deep pockets and art is to be appreciated by everyone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-12, version 7.11.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-16* Learning. A lot. ❤️! **Developer response:** Very thanks for your 5-star rating. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2024-02-15* Excellent app if you’re a beginner in art or just looking for inspiration ### 5/5 — •Hello….!? *2023-11-21, version 7.7.0* •This is Hh….!? •Zero….!?•Clean….!….•This is Ee….!?•Hello….!?; I’m me….!?; your you….!?: .•This is Ff….!?•The Situation….!?: Simple.

Only thing that could make it better is to have the widget randomly select a different painting each day. Thank you! ### 5/5 — A lovely way to take pleasure in historic art pieces *2023-08-07, version 7.0.1* I am obsessed with the history, especially in art pieces. I came upon this app looking for a way to view the art, since I don’t live in a place with art museums, or any museums. I must say, when it mentioned a subscription to view all art pieces, I was a bit hesitant. I decided to get it, and see my thoughts. While many art pieces are locked, only available to subscribers, you can watch an ad to view it. This made me incredibly happy! The only thing I have concerns with, is that if you unlock a painting with an ad, you can only view for a day. I, personally, would add just a little more availability to the app, otherwise I feel others would lose interest quickly. Nevertheless, I feel that this is a lovely way to view historic art pieces! ### 5/5 — 希望预览作品时可以左右滑动 *2023-06-30* 我感觉整体体验非常不错，我更喜欢预览作品时可以全屏，此时还可以左右滑动切换作品，其次就是感觉作品的分辨率还是有些低，肉眼看上去不错，但一旦放大作品的质量就会变差 **Developer response:** 感谢你的评论🙏～我们正在开发一个新版本，会优化一些设计和交互体验上的问题，期待您的后续使用反馈！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
