## What is Artpic?

Artpic is an art social network platform and a community for artists and art lovers.


Are you an (aspiring) artist? This is a place where you can show your work. Create a profile that captures your artistic personality, upload your content, and share it with the world. Chat with friends, art lovers and buyers. Get inspired by other artists.


- Upload paintings, drawings, illustrations, digital art, artistic photography and other art pictures or photos. Be it a masterpiece or just your recent sketch.

- Stand out with your artist profile where you can showcase all your work.

- Use categories, topics, descriptions, and your own hashtags together with our AI-proposed hashtags to describe better your artworks.

- Find potential buyers and let them contact you.

- Get inspired by other artists and follow them.


Or do you “just” want to admire the art of others? Discover amazing artists, follow their newest creations, and save the best artworks directly to your profile of a collector and art lover. Contact artists directly to ask them anything or to buy their artworks… Or get inspired and start creating yourself.


- Search artworks by category, topic, or hashtag to find exactly what you like or simply browse through the latest posts.

- Discover artists you admire and stay up to date with what they post. Always see the newest picture or photo of their artwork.

- Comment on artworks and show your admiration with “love” button.

- Create your unique artwork collection by saving the best artworks directly to your profile and get to know your artistic taste even better.

- Chat with artists directly or share your newest discoveries with your friends.


Our mission is to make art more democratic without compromising quality. We want to offer tools to every artist to unleash their potential and reach out to their audience efficiently. Public appreciation, not a gallerist’s personal choice, should determine success. However, for the public, relevance and quality are what matter most. In short, we want every artist to find their audience, and at the same time, everyone looking for paintings, drawings, illustrations, or other types of art can find exactly what they are looking for and like most. We know that it's not easy to combine these requirements, but this goal fascinates us.


We want to create a platform and a community, an art-centred social network with a marketplace, where you, as an artist, are seen by the people who love precisely the type of work you are doing. Irrespective of your artistic background (like formal education or success elsewhere) if people like your work you can become popular. This is what should matter. We understand that as an artist, one can learn and evolve over time. Our aim is to support you in this process and help you to share your amazing art with the world. Becoming a famous artist requires a great deal of work. We can’t change that, but we can help to make this process more efficient and enjoyable.


We are currently a small startup. Please, be aware that some functionality might still not be implemented. We will work hard on adding new exciting features. Do you have feedback for us? Contact us at artpic.org/contact

### 5/5 — Just amazing

*2025-03-30*

It's works great. Some kinks,but still great! ☺️😜

**Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review and for your kind words! Hearing that you think our app "works great" and is "just amazing" truly makes our day here at Artpic! As a startup, every piece of positive feedback like yours gives us a huge boost.

We're especially interested in your comment about "some kinks." We're constantly striving to improve Artpic and make it the best possible platform for our users. Your insights would be incredibly valuable in helping us identify and smooth out those rough edges. If you're willing, we'd be thrilled if you could share more details about any specific issues or areas you think could be improved. No detail is too small – what might seem like a minor kink to you could be a crucial piece of information for us!

You can reach out to us directly with your thoughts at info@artpic.org. We read every email and piece of feedback personally.

Thank you again for your support and for helping us build a better app. We're really excited about what's to come and hope to make your experience even better!

### 1/5 — Lots of ai

*2025-01-25*

It’s honestly terrible, there’s so much ai generated garbage here that it actually took me a minute to process, it also won’t let me delete my account no matter what:(

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Artpic was "honestly terrible" and led to a 1-star review. We appreciate you letting us know what frustrated you.


Regarding your comment about "AI generated garbage," Artpic is a platform designed for users to showcase and share their artworks. The content you see is uploaded by our community members, and while we encourage all forms of artistic expression, the nature of the artwork shared is ultimately up to individual users. We understand that the AI-generated art might not be to everyone's taste, and we appreciate your perspective on this.


We'd be very interested to hear if there were other aspects of the app itself—its features, usability, or performance—that you found disappointing. Your specific feedback on these areas can directly help us improve the platform for everyone.


Concerning the issue of account deletion, we want to assure you that this feature is fully implemented and available. However, to ensure the integrity of our users' accounts and their content, there is a specific process: you must first delete all your uploaded art posts from your profile. This is a safeguard to prevent accidental loss of work.


Could you please try deleting your posts first and then attempt to delete your account again? You should find the option in your account settings. If you've done this and still encounter issues, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@artpic.org, and we'll be happy to guide you through the process or investigate any potential technical difficulties.


We value all user feedback, and while we're sorry we didn't meet your expectations this time, we hope you might consider providing more details on other areas so we can learn and improve.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.5 — 2026-07-10

Our biggest update yet — new features, plus a big wave of fixes, improvements and polish, with extra care for older devices.

NEW FEATURES

• Automatic theme. Until now you could only pick Light or Dark by hand, and Artpic ignored your device's own setting. Now Artpic can follow your device automatically and switch the moment it does, even while the app is open. There are three options: Automatic (system default), Always light mode, and Always dark mode. Your current choice is kept; new installs start on Automatic.

• A branded launch animation. The app's smooth opening animation (the blue colour filling the screen) now shows the Artpic logo.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS

• Deleting posts is much faster. Deletes used to clear everything tied to a post one piece at a time, so the more followers you had, the longer you waited — up to around 20 seconds for large followings. Those long waits are gone: most deletions now finish in a few seconds or less, and deleting several in a row is near-instant. Deletion is also more thorough and safe to retry.

• Challenge streaks load instantly. Your streak used to be counted week by week over the internet, so a long streak took a while to appear and showed nothing in the meantime. It now loads in one go and shows up immediately.

• A big keyboard overhaul. Typing across the app is much smoother and more reliable now:
  - In chats and comments, the text box used to snap into place only after the keyboard fully slid in, and could end up half-hidden behind it. It now glides with the keyboard and sits neatly just above it.
  - Tapping a field could scroll to slightly the wrong spot, and dragging to scroll could jump or freeze. Fields now land in the right place, scrolling stays smooth, and you can tap straight from one field to the next.
  - Chats, comments, post descriptions and text posts had no word suggestions; predictive text now works in all of them.
  - The typing cursor and text-selection highlight were sometimes invisible in light mode; they are now clearly visible.
  - If the keyboard was open when a popup or loading screen appeared, it used to stay on top and could hide their buttons; it now closes on its own.
  - On some older iPhones, closing the keyboard in a chat or comment could briefly leave a second, frozen copy of the text box on screen — that double box is gone.
  - The area behind the keyboard's rounded corners — and, on the newest iPhones, its see-through parts — used to show other content peeking through; it now has a clean, solid backdrop.

BETTER ON OLDER & LOWER-END DEVICES

• Profile pictures, cards and other rounded graphics could flicker, disappear, or show distorted gradients while scrolling on some older devices — they now display correctly.
• The whole screen could shift slightly whenever the status bar hides (for example while zooming a post); it now stays put.

OTHER FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

• The information text on the text-post screen was almost unreadable in dark mode; it is now clearly legible.
• The hashtags field would not let you paste when creating an image post; now it does.
• Tapping away from a field, or returning to the app while one was selected, could make the content jump and hide it behind the keyboard; fixed.
• Input fields now sit evenly above the keyboard, and no longer scroll further than intended while it is open.

UNDER THE HOOD & SECURITY

• Added behind-the-scenes tools that help us look into reports of spam, scams and abusive accounts, so we can keep Artpic a safe space for artists.
• Groundwork to better support the wide range of devices our users have — which enabled many of the older-device fixes above.
• Modernised and slimmed down some internal systems, including sharing.
• Fixed some behind-the-scenes issues in the messaging system.
• Various small text tweaks and minor fixes throughout.

Thank you for using Artpic — even more improvements and features are on the way very soon!

### 4.4 — 2026-07-02

Big update incoming. We've modernized Artpic under the hood and added a batch of improvements and fixes to make everyday use smoother.


HIGHLIGHTS:

- Artpic is now ad-free. Ads were already rare here, and we've removed them entirely — we'd rather Artpic stay a clean, focused space for your art.

- The keyboard's "Done" key now reliably moves you to the next field, or closes the keyboard when there's nothing left to fill in — no more fields where "Done" did nothing. (Especially handy on iPhone, where there's no system back button to dismiss the keyboard.)

- Significant under-the-hood updates. We've refreshed Artpic's core components — including a more reliable Google sign-in — for better stability and smoother updates going forward.


OTHER IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES:

- Tidied up the screen where you create an account or sign in, so its layout now matches the rest of the app.

- Fixed a quick blue flash that could appear in dark mode right after the splash screen.

- Fixed a rare issue where tapping "Continue" on the welcome screen did nothing.

- Plus a range of smaller polish and stability improvements throughout.

Thanks for using Artpic — keep creating!

### 4.2 — 2025-05-30

Big News! A major update is here with exciting improvements, crucial fixes, and a brand-new Notification Menu!

- Introducing the Notification Menu!

Now, all your notifications – new likes, comments, followers, and more – are conveniently gathered in one place. You'll find this new menu in its own dedicated tab in the bottom carousel navigation.

Each notification is packed with details: the type of action (like, follow, etc.), the exact date and time, a quick link to the user's profile, and the ability to open a post preview for notifications related to posts (likes, pins, comments). Speaking of post previews, this is another new addition! You can now directly open and view a single, specific post without scrolling through your feed to find it. You have full control: delete notifications one by one (with a cool shattering animation!) or clear them all at once.

- Major Bug Fix: Instant Content Loading!
We've squashed a significant bug! Previously, if you left the app in the background and returned, content could take a long time (up to tens of seconds) to load. This is now fixed! Content should load immediately when you return to the app.


Other Fixes and Enhancements:

- Improved Link Tapping: Links in posts now require a deliberate tap, preventing accidental triggers while scrolling.

- Easy Contact: We've added contact info to the settings menu. You can now easily start an in-app chat with Artpic staff via a link there.

- Faster Image Loading: Fixed an issue where smaller image versions weren't loading in 2 or 3 column feed views. Images in these modes should now load faster and with less lag.

- Grammar Fix: Corrected the "1 hours ago" / "1 days ago" phrasing for last online status in chats.

- Plus, several other bug fixes and improvements to make your experience smoother.

### 4.1 — 2024-09-17

A new big design feature in this update - transparent status and navigation bars!

- New big user interface feature: transparent top and bottom bars.
- Now, the top bars (where the menu titles are) and the bottom navigation carousel menu bar will slowly fade as you scroll down in feeds. When you scroll back up, they gradually become opaque again.
- This also applies to the system's status bar (where the clock, battery, and notifications are) and navigation bar (where the home button area is).
- This way, you will have more space to see posts and other content!
- The bars don't become fully transparent, just semi-transparent (it would have been confusing otherwise).
- This feature is implemented in almost all feeds (if there is enough content), except for chats and comments.
- If you want the bars to become fully opaque again, just scroll up.
- The transparency adjusts based on the visibility of the top bar. If it is fully visible, the bars stay opaque. If it is fully hidden, the bars turn semi-transparent.
- This feature was also added to the profile feeds, even though there are no hideable top bars.
- When you reach the end of a feed, the system's navigation bar, along with the navigation carousel menu, will return to full opacity.


Important fixes and improvements:

- Added a confirmation popup when clicking on links to prevent accidental navigation to external websites.

- Fixed an issue where user UIs (user UI is the panel where a user's name, username, icon, etc... is in one place) wouldn't load after returning from some other tab (E.g., if you open the "User exploration" tab, then go to some different tab and return back, the user UIs wouldn't load. This was now fixed.).

- Fixed an issue where clicking the "Go to challenges" button in your profile menu didn't update the bottom navigation carousel menu to the correct position for the challenges tab.


Small fixes and improvements (you can skip reading this if you don't want to):

- Corrected text to display "1 hour ago" (instead of "1 hours ago") and "1 day ago" (instead of "1 days ago") in the user UIs and also in user profile menu online status (you can access it by opening the profile options popup and clicking the 3 dots in the top right corner of each user profile menu). Also made the user profile menu online status text green if it is "Online now".

- Resolved an issue where the bottom navigation carousel menu continued scrolling inertially for some time, even after reaching the last navigation panel on the right.

- Redesigned the search button in the World Feed (where the latest posts from all users are displayed) to make it more prominent and easier to notice.

- In the "User exploration" tab, when switching between different feed types or pressing the "Switch order" button, the scroller containing the "Switch order" button and info text now automatically scrolls to the beginning (so that a user can read the feed type description from the beginning immediately without the need to scroll to the beginning when the scroller is not in the beginning).

- Adjusted the transparency of the post feed column back button (a button that appears in the 1-column view mode and takes you back to 2 or 3 columns) so it now matches the appearance of the status bar and top bar when they are semi-transparent.

- When switching between 1, 2, or 3-column views in post feeds, the feed will now automatically scroll to the top (this is applied to all feeds except profile feeds, which is either your profile or other users' profiles).

- When scrolling down, the top bars now hide at a slightly slower speed for a more natural transition.

- When opening the "Settings" menu, the "Start tab" will now appear centered.

- A couple of other minor improvements.

### 4.0 — 2024-08-28

A new update has arrived after a long time, and it brings some big features and many improvements!


Big new features:

- Carousel bottom navigation:
changed the bottom navigation menu from being a static bar to a dynamic carousel menu. Now, you can scroll through the bottom navigation menu! This new carousel menu includes nice animations and added vibrations for enhanced user experience.

- A new tab: User exploration.
This update brings a new tab called "User exploration", which lets you explore all Artpic users in a convenient and easy way! It allows you to sort all users based on one of these nine sorting criteria:
1. posts count
2. pins count
3. challenge posts count
4. followers count
5. following count
6. last time online
7. name
8. username
9. account registration date
You can choose either ascending or descending order of users for each one of these. A description text explains each chosen combination of sorting criteria and order.

- A completely new, much more informative user UI!
The new "User exploration" tab prompted us to rework the user UI (user lists contain user UIs). Up until now, the user UI only contained the icon, name, posts count, followers count, and follow button. We thought it would be better to display as much information about each user as possible in a small space without opening the user's profile. That's why we completely reworked the user UI from the ground up. So now, it also contains the username, challenge posts count, pins count, following count, last time online, account registration date, and chat button (only if you follow the user; if you don't follow, the follow button is shown, though it is much smaller than before).
Although the new user UI is larger than before (so fewer of them fit on the screen), you can see much more information now.


Important fixes and improvements:

- Fixed links in post comments and chats not being clickable.
- Made "@" a valid URL part, so now the character "@" doesn't break URLs.
- Fixed many special characters not showing in the name in profile menus.
- Added last online status to each user's profile menu. You can access it by opening the profile options popup and clicking the 3 dots in the top right corner of each user profile menu.
- Now, when using the scroll-up button (available in post feeds and user lists), content doesn't reload unnecessarily during fast, automatic scrolling up as it used to, resulting in better app performance when using this scroll-up button.
- The online indicator is now green if the user has been online within the last 5 minutes (was just 1 minute before).


Small, insignificant fixes and improvements (you can skip reading this if you don't want to):

- In group chats, when the chat title in the top bar is clicked, the group chat members list is shown (nothing happened before when clicked).
- Changed the functionality of the "no internet" popup that appears when internet connection problems are detected. Now, the popup can be closed, so users are not prevented from using the app, even though they may have internet connection issues.
- Slightly improved the share text when sharing a post.
- Changed the color of the date text in messages (the text that tells when the message was written) in dark mode from blue to black to make it more readable.
- After uploading a challenge post, the success popup now mandatorily shows for 6 seconds instead of 8 seconds as before. Also added an explosion effect to the particle effect animation, which shows when this success popup opens.
- Removed the option to "Add new members" to group chats (it didn't work previously).
- Fixed the horizontal line at the bottom of each dropdown menu being visible in the system's status bar when scrolled enough up. This happened in the medium/topic dropdown menus in the image post upload menu.
- Fixed the wrong color of a line in the user profiles in light mode.
- Various other minor improvements.
