### 3/5 — Missing a few things

*2023-09-16*

It’s lacking the ability to sort from oldest to newest and newest to oldest; furthermore it doesn’t show any time stamp, so it doesn’t show when a deviation was made. I’d list more, but I think this would help the most.

### 5/5 — Sooo fast

*2020-09-09*

Worth downloading for the nostalgia factor alone and the app is blazing fast.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-12-29*

Locked up twice trying to get in.  Says to email someone named Jessica.  Quickly deleted.

**Developer response:** Hello, from the logs it looks like the network you were on blocked access to Deviant Art.  This app requires access to https://www.deviantart.com/ some networks blacklist websites, please check that it's accessible.  Thank you for trying out our app, however if your network can't access DA, this app won't be able to either.

### 5/5 — Awesome way to view Deviant Art

*2015-01-16*

Love this app. Best way to view all of the great art on DA.

### 5/5 — Much nicer than the official app

*2015-01-08, version 1.0*

Hands down the best way to browse deviantart!
