### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2026-02-10*

Tried it out and no results show up when scanning. There’s a lot of unresponsive buttons from trying to rename or delete collections to scanning art.

### 2/5 — Gave me the complete wrong artist

*2025-10-07*

I was hopeful this would work, but it gave me the complete incorrect artist as the signatures are nothing alike. Pretty disappointed.

### 5/5 — So cool!!

*2025-08-29*

Learned more from this app than my art history classes
