Unfortunately Google is leaning into AI way too much, including having soulless AI-generated podcasts that “discuss” art. What an insult to humanity! I had to immediately uninstall. ### 4/5 — Ideas and tips *2026-05-17, version 11.14* Hello , I just wanted to say this app is very fun and interesting! But there are some adjustments that could be made! Please could you upload more games on about different subjects for example( like a road race throughout history where you raced to different historic landmarks) And more interactive games that can be played and enjoyed while keeping the beautiful Arts & Culture feel! Make different types of additions of games about different years and can you please make them more often uploaded they aren’t that hard to make and I’m sure they will be valued by many different Arts & Culture users I have recommended your app to quite a few people I know and I hope they’re enjoying it but I would recommend it more and enjoy it more myself if there were more games and different topics that I could enjoy throughout time Thank you for your app and please add more games and features promptly Thank you ### 3/5 — UI Needs Improvement *2026-03-30, version 11.13.1* This app has so much potential but the user interface needs some work! ### 4/5 — 🎨 *2026-02-20* 학교 수업 시간에 유용하게 사용했습니다. 나와 닮은 작품을 자신의 스타일로 다시 해석해 그리는 수업이었는데 아트 셀피를 이용한 그 과정 매우 재미있었습니다. 또 각각의 미술 작품들을 실제로 보는듯한 자세한 설명과 질감 표현이 무료로 사용할 때도 퀄리티가 높았습니다.단,조금 아쉬웠던 점은 한국어 번역 원할하게 되지 않는다는 점입니다.특히 숏츠 비슷한 프로그램에서 더 그렇습니다.그 점만 조금 더 개선해주시면 훨씬 유용할 듯 합니다. ### 2/5 — Downgrade *2026-01-22, version 11.10.1* Had a big downgrade. It used to be so much easier to find art work, now to search function is not very user friendly and tries to force too much curated content on you. The UI for looking at artwork has gotten worse too! ### 4/5 — Actualicen *2026-01-10, version 11.9.2* Actualicen por favor 🙏 ### 2/5 — Interface needs much improvement *2025-10-13, version 11.8.1* This app is an incredible, vast resource for you mind and soul. The main issue I have reading it on my ipad is the interface. There are no settings to change the font size, so you almost need a magnifying glass to read it. ### 3/5 — Interface needs improvement *2025-09-27, version 11.6.2* The app is great as an education tool. The problem with the app is the interface. If you're reading on your ipad, there is no option to increase the font size. It's fixed and small, you need a magnifying glass to read it. Also, app window should be more flexible to increase the window size, at least on the apple ipad it is fixed size as of September 2025. ### 4/5 — Actualicen *2025-09-23, version 11.6.2* Actualicen por favor 🙏 ### 4/5 — Needs iOS 26 update *2025-09-16, version 11.6.2* Widget is broken in iOS 26 ### 2/5 — cant follow artists now *2025-09-06, version 11.6.2* I used to be able to click on the artist name to jump to a gallery presentation of that artist's works. In the latest update clicking on the artist name does nothing. ### 2/5 — Landscape support for ipad *2025-08-10, version 11.6.2* App is great but please update to support landscape support for iPad. It will only work in portrait mode. ### 2/5 — 30 fps scrolling *2025-08-05, version 11.6.2* I have 120hz display and this app artificially restricts frame rate within the app, unusable ### 3/5 — AI features are a miss *2025-08-01, version 11.6.2* I think this app is a great resource in general for art fans. But these AI features being pushed upon the user base are a huge turn off. Why would a fan of visual art, likely an artist themselves, want to listen to an AI character podcasting about Starry Night? I think the AI audio stuff is downright useful in Notebook LM, but here? Just feels like a devaluing of human expression to some degree. ### 3/5 — What the heck?! *2025-03-23, version 10.22.2* Bro literally the games don’t work! At school, we play on the website on our iPads and the games work perfectly. But all of a sudden I download it on my phone and the games don’t work! The learning stuff and the camera games work but not the real games like the viola game and the blob opera. Pls fix it!!! ### 3/5 — No landscape support *2025-02-15, version 10.22.2* Works fine in portrait mode but desperately needs landscape mode. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken App *2026-08-16, version 11.15.1* App no longer opens. Getting network error message despite my other apps and network working. ### 1/5 — Broken App *2026-06-04, version 11.14.3* 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. ### 1/5 — This item no longer exists. *2026-04-01, version 11.13.1* I don't use Arts & Culture that often; I only use this more for education. There is a glitch where you cannot remove favorite images (or images in the lists you have made) that show a greyed-out, squiggly/ripped icon. I can delete non-deleted artworks, but not the ones that show these symbols. First, I have tried to use uBlock Origin on my computer, but it won't let me. Second, I sent Google feedback about these deleted posts, but they did not respond. Lastly, I have created a first thread on Google Community, but it got duplicated and created a second one, which was then taken down due to irrelevant data, and they told me to take legal action! I am autistic and innocent, and there is nothing wrong that I've done to have Google report me! They should let people remove posts that no longer exist on their lists, or else we would have to sign a petition on Change.org! p>_< — A heartbroken Nameless (Inactive on YT) (formerly Jules the Boombox Zombie) ### 1/5 — ai everywhere *2026-03-12, version 11.12.2* the fact there is a large ai box on everything is so annoying it obstructs the view and is just so frustrating. why does ai have to be literally everywhere i turn even when im trying to learn about art. at least make an option to make it go away ### 1/5 — PLEASE READ *2025-11-28, version 11.8.2* So I CANT GET IN GAMES BECAUSE “failing to load content”.I restarted and tried other stuff but it still WONT WORK please fix🥺🙏🏻🙏 ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2025-10-15, version 11.8.1* No landscape mode is honestly laughable coming from the biggest conglomerate. You’ll implement a bunch of useless tacky (ai) functions without even having a basic working system that allows for landscape mode. The search system makes it impossible to narrow down subject matter. Crashes all the time. When you’re looking through archives and go past a certain point it will crash and you’ll have to start from the beginning. Absolutely disgusting developers ### 1/5 — 1/5 until you add landscape mode *2025-07-17, version 11.6.2* Title says it all. Come on guys, this should be trivial. You can do better ### 1/5 — Gulf of Mexico *2025-02-11, version 10.22.2* Fascists ### 1/5 — Gulf of America, my butt *2025-01-28, version 10.22.1* Delete, delete, delete ### 1/5 — Not available in Iran *2025-01-23, version 10.22.1* It’s been a while since the last time I opened it. I can no longer use it. I don’t know why but i am guessing that it’s not available in Iran anymore which is sad. I tried using VPN but it didn’t work out ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Art *2026-05-12, version 11.14* 🎨 ### 5/5 — Art lover *2025-12-12, version 11.9.2* I love this app, the great detail and the ability to ask question and engage with the topic. This would be amazing if there was one for famous scientists. ### 5/5 — BETTER THAN INSTAGRAM *2025-09-30, version 11.6.2* Its like ig...for adult. A fine app! ### 5/5 — arabia google arts amd culture *2025-08-09, version 11.6.2* 1.arabia.google.com/1 ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2025-04-16, version 11.3.1* This is such an amazing collection of art and culture. What takes it to the next level is the constant fun experiments and genuinely useful AI features like podcasts, hot corners, and guided tours. ### 5/5 — Fun and creative *2025-03-16, version 10.22.2* I love the all the games that you can play and it is so fun and you get to learn creative ideas so fun ### 5/5 — Greatest app in history of apps!!!! *2025-01-11, version 10.21.1* This app brings me endless joy and wonder! Extremely engaging visual appeal that is so intuitive and easy to use. I love getting lost in their maze of learning! The various ways to learn/search for content, are so smart and fun. Thank you Google!! ### 5/5 — Extraordinary and wonderful *2024-12-14, version 10.21.1* This is really remarkably thoughtful and cool. simply wonderful. ### 5/5 — 横屏 *2024-12-09, version 10.21.1* 期待横屏功能 ### 5/5 — Not that good *2024-11-25, version 10.21.1* I’ve seen better AI filters with TikTok Filters it acts janky often making whatever you take a photo of to not look like the actual thing it’s based off of with weird misconstrues. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
