### 4/5 — Its good but 😑

*2025-09-06, version 6.5.0*

I love this app but it won’t let me sign in 🤬

### 2/5 — Drops connection

*2024-11-07, version 6.5.0*

Drops connection, slow to start working, app closes in middle of posting. Makes it difficult to work quickly.

### 4/5 — Glitches

*2024-09-30, version 6.3.0*

Keeps spinning when trying to get to artist statement. Still too many steps.

### 4/5 — Makes uploads a breeze!

*2023-12-06, version 6.3.0*

Taking photos of my students’ artworks and tagging them for uploads go so much faster with this app! 
My only wish is that I could edit and complete uploads in either the app or the browser, not only the app. I also wish there were more abilities like adding to showcases from the app.

### 5/5 — Wow I love this site!

*2023-10-18, version 6.3.0*

So much fun for me to picture my students creations! Thank you Artsonia!

### 5/5 — Sometimes crashes

*2023-05-05, version 6.3.0*

I love this app but sometimes if I try to upload art and click “view all” it will crash on me

### 5/5 — Love the new update!

*2023-04-21, version 6.3.0*

I’m so glad you brought back batch publish. I hope you bring back magnetic cropping too. I love how I can finally do in the app what I can do on the website such as publishing student submitted art. I looks so nice and sharp too. We’ll done artsonia!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-04-05, version 6.2.0*

New app is amazing!!

### 5/5 — It’s terrific

*2023-02-17, version 6.2.0*

I have been an Art Teacher for Grades K-5 for 16 years, and have been using Artsonia for 10 years. It has been an incredible learning tool for my students and I. We use their online portfolios as a summative assessment of their growth. Families love being able to see their children’s art, and read what they write about it. My students love the talk to text feature for writing artist statements. I have been able to purchase art supplies through the fundraising portion, which I’m very thankful for. Artsonia Customer Support is always very helpful, available and do periodic helpful updates. If there’s one thing I’d like to see in the future is for the app to support emojis in the titles/statements because students like to communicate through symbols. I have purchased merchandise for my family, and have always been happy with the quality and price. Terrific work, Artsonia!

### 5/5 — Just the best!!

*2023-02-05, version 6.2.0*

Artsonia is hands down the best program for digital portfolios. The app is super student, teacher, and family friendly! They have the best customer service too!

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2023-02-04, version 6.2.0*

The Artsonia app makes it easy for me to upload all my students’ art for parents to see.  A lot of times, parents don’t know what goes on in the classroom but with Artsonia, parents get to see all the art created by their child as it happens.  Thanks you Artsonia for all that you do to support the Arts!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2023-02-03, version 6.2.0*

I photograph thousands of artworks each year and find it super easy to upload a class at a time. If there is ever an uploading problem it is always my wifi connection, not the app. This is easy to use and so streamlined that I can upload, select student, crop and publish quickly. I love the blur tool, so I can easily “erase” last names from artwork.

### 5/5 — Essential for Standards

*2023-02-02, version 6.2.0*

I have a Huge school. 1000+ students rotate through my art room. With little space for  anything, Artsonia is the only way I can do my portfolio standards. Also, because of its fundraising aspect, I have raised enough to buy clay for my school when I only had enough for 2 grade levels in my budget.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2023-02-02, version 6.2.0*

I have been uploading my students’ artwork to Artsonia for the past 14 years. That translates to roughly 70,000 pieces of artwork. This is an incredible resource for me and my art program. I would give this company/app 10 stars if I could. Thank you Artsonia!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-02-02, version 6.2.0*

I love using this for my students! It was not easy to use in the beginning, but has gotten so much better over the years! I am teaching my students to upload their own work, and they are enjoying it as well. My student’s parents and grandparents appreciate being able to see their student’s work online. They love being able to order things with the work on it!

### 1/5 — Like yeah, it won’t let me sign in. They should have a guest account.

*2025-12-30, version 6.5.0*

Like literally yeah I’m trying to sign in but it won’t let me sign in. I bet they should have a guest account. I did this a -1000 out of 10. I’m doing something at home. I wish this app didn’t exist.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-27, version 6.5.0*

Glitches all the Time and every time my children get on it it randomly shuts off

### 1/5 — die

*2024-03-28*

die

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER

*2023-11-06, version 6.3.0*

I have to use this in school and after using this for 0.0000001 seconds, Obama died, I got cancer and died of a heart attack. Mike wazowski appeared on my dead body and made the entire class die of cancer and turn into furries and we all started eating glue sticks and ripped up the entire building. DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!!

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2022-08-31, version 6.2.0*

Really wish the app worked.  Won’t even open my photos to import and I don’t have time to photograph and assign names while taking the pics. I use the web browser and love artsonia but the app needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — can’t upload from phone

*2022-03-25, version 6.1.0*

when i try to upload a picture from my phone for my teachers to review, it just crashes or won’t let me submit at all.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-03-19, version 6.1.0*

As a parent, I was really surprised that you can not delete the art work my kid uploaded. Very bad!

### 1/5 — Can’t upload students work

*2021-11-28, version 6.1.0*

I never am able to upload artwork through the app. I take pictures of the artwork and then the app crashes when I try to upload it to my account. This needs to be fix. I’ve had trouble for over a year now.

### 1/5 — So Dang Slow

*2021-10-20, version 6.1.0*

This app is terrible. Photos never load. Always cleaning the brushes. Please fix it. Even writing this review has been a pain in the neck.

### 1/5 — Phone clutter from teachers, but doesn’t work

*2021-10-01, version 6.1.0*

Just another app that teachers asked me to download. Already dismayed at the purchase requirements…. And to top it off, things don’t seem to work like they should anyway. I can’t seem to view my kid’s work nor the feedback.

### 5/5 — Great App For Art Teachers

*2026-05-08, version 6.5.0*

I love this app so much. It helps me see the growth of each student over the years and it helps me do assessments at report card time. Then the bonus is if parents purchase gifts I get some funny money to buy special art supplies when my art budget money is gone…. Which doesn’t take long.

### 5/5 — Simply the best

*2026-05-04, version 6.5.0*

The Artsonia app makes it easy for me to upload all my students’ art for parents to see.  A lot of times, parents don’t know what goes on in the classroom but with Artsonia, parents get to see all the art created by their child as it happens.  Thanks you Artsonia for all that you do to support the Arts!

### 5/5 — Simple to use with great results

*2026-02-23, version 6.5.0*

This is such a user friendly platform that allows me to connect to families and better engage families in art programming.

### 5/5 — Best Student Online Portfolio

*2026-01-18, version 6.5.0*

Time saver for teachers, and an amazing place for parents to turn their children’s artwork into personalized keepsakes for anyone in their family. Highly recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-09-24, version 6.5.0*

Have used for many years and the students and parents love it. Good for a little fundraising to help offset expenses in classroom. Also can be used for evaluation process.

### 5/5 — Love Artsonia!!!

*2025-01-31, version 6.5.0*

I’ve been using Artsonia since 2003 at one school or another… students, parents and staff love it! We’ve used it in language arts to comment on others’ work as well as our own…. along with the benefits of the gift shop providing funds for materials in the art room, it’s a real winning combination!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-12-02, version 6.5.0*

Artsonia is the most incredible connection an art teacher can have with her students and guardians. Artsonia is easy to use and keeps the artwork archived in such a fun manageable way. I love that my students can see their work from all their years with me, it’s irreplaceable in my room and will always be used for as long as I’m an educator.

### 5/5 — Great fund raiser and promotional tool for art eductator!

*2024-11-22, version 6.5.0*

I have used Artsonia for 19 years to showcase student work and to raise funds through purchases that parents make from the gift shop. The site becomes a digital portfolio for students that shows their development through the years and is easily transferred when they move to a new school. The gift shop items are great quality; only once in 19 years has a parent complained about a problem, and Artsonia took care of it immediately. I highly recommend the site to art teachers at all levels.

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2024-04-01, version 6.3.0*

Artsonia has been a wonderful partner in sharing our students’ artwork. Their staff is always there to assist with any need. Thank you for all the years you have served teachers and students!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2023-12-22, version 6.3.0*

What a wonderful way for showcasing student art and supporting school art programs!
