Very simple!

Honestly, very good app for sharing art. Basically just art social media.
There are a few issues but it’s very easy to grow and share your art.

dead app

i tried to like cara for the longest, rlly did, but this app jus ain't for me

evb that migrated from insta left w/o a trace. as much as i'd post n engage, i saw lil to no growth. there's no community left, only a ghost town

i give up wit cara fr, yall got it

Great artist community!

I get way more traction and engagement here than instagram can ever afford! Love the hard NO AI stance!

But it would be nice to hide a post I don’t like so that it no longer keeps showing up on the feed.

I would also really really really love to edit thumbnails. I’ve made mistakes of not editing nice thumbnails before and it just makes my portfolio look so ugly ;_; it would be nice to have more leeway to polish our portfolio in that regard.

Also I can’t seem to access my bookmarks on the app. At least not in an easily accessible way.

AI detectors feed everyone's work into AI.

I love the idea of an art app/website without AI... but this uses an AI detector. AI detectors are known for messing up. They're literally AI. Your app/website is still feeding these artists' work into AI.

Censoring artists

Super thankful someone is trying to build a space for artists that isn’t Instagram but the censorship ON A PLATFORM FOR ARTIST is insane! I’ve seen so many sexualized images people have drawn of topless woman that are ok cause of “expression” but am not able to upload any of my character work containing a woman without a shirt cause of the climate she lives in and it’s got a visible nipple in it…… stop only allowing images you can sell to get past censorship. Nudity in art is the least of your worries!! Make it make sense

Breath of fresh air

It’s to refreshing to use an app that doesn’t push algorithm favored content. I can actually see new posts, and posts with low like counts instead of just the posts running numbers like on Instagram. Seems like a solid little community of artists on here. I hope more people can join. So far so good! I’m loving being able to share my art with others and meet new people, rather than become buried in sea of posts and get 0 interactions online.

I really enjoy this app

I overall enjoy this experience. I am fairly new to the platform. I’ve only posted a minimal number of things on this platform, but I gotta say it’s really good social media and it seems a lot more fair compared to its competitors whereas on Tumblr, I am lucky if I even get three likes where on this my first day posting I got 5 to 6 likes which is really refreshing when your motivation runs off of seeing if people enjoy what you make. I’m sure this app does have quite a bit of bugs. I’ve come across a couple of visual errors, but I’m pretty sure it has to do with more of what I’m using and not really the app I think the app has perfected a lot of different things especially the anti-AI status so far. I haven’t been skeptical of a single piece on this platform, which is sad that I have to be skeptical on any platform of anything being AI. I sure hope that this app does not end like most of its competitors with a bunch of greed and corruption within the next hundred years.

Would like option to hide suggested art

It’s nice to get recommended art from people I don’t follow sometimes. But I would like the option to hide something I don’t like. It used to be that I can mute them to make their art disappear on my timeline, but now I can’t do that anymore. If I mute them their art still shows up. Which would mean I would have to resort to blocking them if I don’t want their art to pop up, which though I haven’t done is still pretty unfair.

Scum!

You’re just as bad as the Mets Platforms did deplatforming people you don’t like. Scum of the Earth!

Good app and community!

While the community is small and engagement is low, it’s a very nice place to be as an artist! My only real criticism is the portfolios, organizing them is tricky sometimes if you don’t use it often. But everything else outweighs that! So proud to be apart of this community

Want to like it

Like many who have given up on Pinterest for visual reference images, I had high hopes for Cara. So far, all I can find is fan art, anime-style drawings, and digital work. I just want to look at other fine artists’ paintings. I tried searching on the names of several of my favorite painters and not one painting of any of theirs was found. Not really sure what the point of this app is. Glad it’s AI-free. Still needs art by professional artists or it’s useless.

Also extremely unimpressed by the social feature. It’s one of the reasons I no longer use Pinterest, so seeing it as part of this app was definitely a deterrent, not a desirable feature.

Where’s an artist supposed to find images of art painted by other fine artists anymore???
