Unfortunately, the save function isn’t working. And some of the shows that I know are on view aren’t listed. But a great work in progress nonetheless. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback newyclife, really glad you love what we're doing! there was a bug with the save function which is now fixed - and we are covering more galleries and exhibitions all the time! ### 3/5 — Needs more. *2017-06-04* I would like to be able to type in an artist name and view their works; especially the old master's. Can't wait for the zoom in feature. Keep on improving! **Developer response:** Hi Ravenkim25 - thanks for the feedback and review - hope you've upgraded to the new zoom-enabled version - and don't worry, functionality to help you find artists and galleries is high on our development list so you shouldn't have to wait too long! Best, The Team ### 4/5 — Content *2017-05-20* With all of the many galleries to choose from, the faults in this program hardly ruin the experience. If you give this a chance, you'll find something you like. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - we appreciate your feedback. A new version of the app, with zoom functionality, is in development and we plan to release it soon. Please keep a look out for it - and other features in the pipeline! Thanks, GN ### 5/5 — Great idea! Looking forward to more. *2017-05-17* I love that these are current shows. It might be a cool feature to be able to click on artwork for a close-up and description. I look forward to the updates :) It might also be good if you guys could gain access to the studios of artists and designers. I'd like to see where work is made. I find those spaces much more interesting than gallery spaces. P.S. need someone to cover galleries in Tokyo? **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. A new version of the app, with zoom functionality, is in development and we plan to release it soon. The Individual Works page gives you artwork descriptions and titles. Keep an eye out for future updates and extra features as we develop the app and expand the breadth of exhibitions we are able to feature. Please get in touch via team@galleriesnow.net if you are interested in working with us. Thanks, GN ### 2/5 — Vaiting for updates *2017-05-15* It is a very basic app **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - we appreciate your feedback. Please let us know the specific issues that aren't working so we can help to resolve them! Thanks, GN ### 4/5 — Super cool! *2017-05-12* I stumbled upon this new app, used the QR code on my cardboard VR viewer I just got as a little gift & voila! I was able to virtually visit awesome galleries in London from my bedroom in SoCal! There could be some better features, yes, but I found it very good for use with the VR viewer. Looking forward to improvements so one is able to see works a bit closer. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your review. We are now developing an update that will allow you to zoom, this will be released very soon! Thanks, GN ### 2/5 — London, Paris, NYC *2017-05-12* If you're anywhere else, it's not useful. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. Keep an eye out for future updates and extra features as we develop the app and expand the breadth of exhibitions we are able to feature. Thanks, GN ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-05-12* Awesome concept but should include support for gaze and tap functionality when using a VR viewer, to zoom in or switch galleries. That way you aren't taking your phone in and out of the viewer constantly. Other than that awesome app! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review - we appreciate your rating! We are developing several new updates which will address your comments. A new version of the app with zoom functionality will be released soon. Keep an eye out for future updates! Thanks, GN ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-12-26* I love the idea. But on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and on my iPad Pro I get the same result: “An error occured (misspelled) while fetching the data”. The app is currently useless. I can see just enough to wish it worked. Also, the Google map does pinch and zoom, it is stuck at the level of a couple of blocks. And there is no obvious way to jump to another place like NYC or Paris. You are stuck where you are without a LOT of scrolling. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The recent release had a major upgrade to the back-end so can you please delete it and do a fresh install in the first instance - and if the issue persists, please send a screenshot of what you are seeing to support@galleriesnow.net, it would be very helpful in our investigation into potential issues. Thank you again and we look forward to getting you back into everything as quickly as possible. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2021-07-09, version 3.0.2* Not managed to do any more than sign up yet (which took about five or so attempts) because app keeps closing on me the moment I try to do anything. ### 1/5 — 1 star *2017-05-15* Not useful and doesn't work properly **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - we appreciate your feedback. Please let us know the specific issues that aren't working so we can help to resolve them! Thanks, GN ### 1/5 — Low quality *2017-05-15* The quality is very low **Developer response:** Thank you for the review - we appreciate your feedback. We will be developing many new features including filtering, favourites, more information and zoom functionality. Please keep a look out for future versions of the app and let us know how you rate them! Thanks, GN ### 1/5 — bad museum experience *2017-05-13* echoing others: you can't actually see the art, nor zoom in, nor pause. i don't need to stand in the middle of a gallery. i don't care about a panoramic experience. the museum exists as space in which to view the art it houses, not as a space for viewing it's own self, unto itself. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we have reviewed your concern and agree, we are now developing an update that will allow you to zoom, this will be released very soon. It would be very appreciated if you could re-review after the update. Thanks, GN ### 1/5 — Great concept; poor execution of... you know, SEEING the art. *2017-05-12* At first glance, it's full of a vast catalog of art galleries and great info write ups on the artist and gallery so you can have a sense of context. How cool! Finally a great art gallery viewer on the front end of technology. But upon opening the 360 degree view of any of the galleries, the camera is way too far from any of the art to see anything. You can't move around, you can't zoom in, you can't do anything but look around at art from a distant fixed vantage point. So, you can't see the art on an app to look at art. Laughably poor planning. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we have reviewed your concern and agree, we are now developing an update that will allow you to zoom, this will be released very soon. It would be appreciated if you could re-review after the update. Thanks, GN ### 1/5 — Nice concept, bad execution *2017-05-12* Maybe I'm missing something, but how does standing (virtually, of course) in the middle of a gallery room looking at tiny paintings in the distance help me to enjoy this art? I could see the one painting that happened to be next to the camera, but you can't zoom in or move within the room to get closer to the other paintings. The teeny tiny paintings on the other side of the room look like they could be nice, but I'll never know. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we have reviewed your concern and agree, we are now developing an update that will allow you to zoom, this will be released very soon. It would be appreciated if you could re-review after the update. Thanks, GN ### 1/5 — Not for standard viewing *2017-05-11* I tried this on my phone and the paintings were so far away you couldn't see them. There's no way to zoom in or move closer. Perhaps in a 3D viewer it looks better. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we have reviewed your concern and agree, we are now developing an update that will allow you to zoom, this will be released very soon. It would be appreciated if you could re-review after the update. Thanks, GN ### 2/5 — just spins forever now *2025-12-22* i used to LOVE this app for exploring galleries in new york & london, but now it doesn’t even open & just shows the loading screen forever. big bummer. sounds like most ppl have switched to using seesaw so i have too, but i honestly preferred the ui of galleriesnow, so i wish it’d work again! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The recent release had a major upgrade to the back-end so can you please delete it and do a fresh install in the first instance - and if the issue persists, please send a screenshot of what you are seeing to support@galleriesnow.net, it would be very helpful in our investigation into potential issues. Thank you again and we look forward to getting you back into everything as quickly as possible. ### 2/5 — Great Idea, but (the view is wrong) *2017-05-24* It's backwards; using google cardboard. Left eye see right & vice versa. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're not aware of this and are not sure what is happening - please try reinstalling the app and let us know if the same issue still occurs. Thanks, GN ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brill app *2026-02-25, version 7.4* Very useful ### 5/5 — Fab *2026-02-05, version 7.3* Too good for discovering art ### 5/5 — Really useful *2021-04-27, version 3.0.2* This is an excellent app if you have a passion for art. The VR feature works really well ### 5/5 — Great app for discovering new museums *2020-11-10, version 3.0.0* Really recommend for those wanting to discover new artists and museums but just don’t have the time to research and keep up to date themselves. I’ve often kept a list myself and signed up to so many museum newsletters and this app has now saved me so much time from having to look through it all. I especially love that I can save an exhibition and it counts down the days until it finishes so I don’t miss anything I’d planned to see. The VR wasn’t working previously but with the new update it’s all perfect and the new layout is much better and more user friendly. ### 5/5 — Super duper *2019-11-07, version 2.0.3* Really really great ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-12-18, version 1.3* Great app. Nothing else out there like it ### 5/5 — Great idea and execution *2017-09-20* Very happy with the updates and improvements made to this app. 100% love the concept of it and will continue to use it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We will be developing several new updates which shall address several of your comments. These will be released very soon. It would be appreciated if you could re-review after the updates. Thanks, GN ### 5/5 — Worth the add *2017-06-12* Well made app! Great for those who are unable to travel globally but still want access to amazing art galleries and those who want to preview an art gallery before attending. Couldn't be better. Can't wait for more galleries **Developer response:** Dear Ajandb - that's fantastic! we're really glad you like it, and thanks for the comments and review. We upload new content all the time so keep coming back for more galleries and exhibitions - and tell your friends! The Team ### 5/5 — Art from afar! *2017-06-01* I see they're fixing the lack of zoom- But I still LOVE this app. I live really far away from any major art gallery so this is perfect for me! Great idea, loads pretty quick on good wifi, good descriptions. It's a fun little trip to a gallery when 99% of what I see every day is Black Angus cattle and rolling prairie. Can't wait to see new features! **Developer response:** Thank you Landpirate, we really appreciate the feedback and your review. There's so much great art out there and our mission is to help more people see more of it. So new exhibitions all the time, and new features as fast as we can develop them! Thank you again, and spread the word! The Team ### 5/5 — Wow!!! *2017-05-18* When I got to the Sothebies pages I was blown away !!!! You are on to something great - keep it up, and add a feature some of the new, or lesser known galleries, or art styles, like the current show at Oneartspace on Warren Street in New York. **Developer response:** That's great feedback! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review and we have taken note of your suggestions. Keep an eye out for new versions of the app and extra features which are in development!
