Landscape

No landscape doesn’t make any sense on an app dedicated to viewing high resolution artwork. It doesn’t take advantage of the iPad screen size.

Broken App

App no longer opens. Getting network error message despite my other apps and network working.

Not a fan of the AI art Remix

I’ve been a fan of this platform for years. It always helps me find newer artworks and the stories behind them. Although I just discovered the option that you can make your own “artwork” by remixing another artist’s centuries or decades old work, through AI, of course. It’s truly disrespectful to these artworks. And I wasn’t expecting it from a platform that’s focused on art made by humans. Extremely frustrated after this discovery.

Broken App

This app has failed to work for the last two months. Opening it shows “app error” every time. It’s not a network connection as all my apps work properly except this one.
