### 1/5 — Making it harder for artists

*2025-11-21, version 2.19.0*

Downloaded this app for a place to post my art. Not sure why, I can be logged in and still not find or view my artist profile. Website only if you’re an artist, the app is completely worthless for us.

### 2/5 — Price filter broken

*2025-11-02, version 2.19.0*

As above

### 1/5 — Error cannot…

*2025-09-26, version 2.19.0*

Can’t even create a profile because it errors every time I try to load any kind of image followed what the system said in regards to size type and everything still continues to error. I’m an artist who was looking to create a profile and honestly, this app is trash complete waste of my time. I tried so many images each one failed garbage throw this in the trash.

### 3/5 — Nice art, terrible AR

*2025-06-12, version 2.19.0*

…..

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2025-04-15, version 2.19.0*

The app is buggy. Can’t even upload profile photo. Everything freezes. Costumer service is non existent.

### 4/5 — Love the site but…

*2025-01-20, version 2.19.0*

Have had a great experience buying multiple artworks from Saatchi. That said, app frequently has been buggy over the years. Saatchi needs to invest in their stack, app monitoring, etc.

### 1/5 — You cannot upload artworks

*2024-03-13, version 2.18.1*

There are issues/bugs that prevent me from uploading the pictures to the aetwork - and so I can’t save the artwork to be able to sell it. Wasted a whole day yesterday for nothing. The same issue on the website. Artists - avoid.

### 5/5 — Amazing Variety and Talent

*2023-03-30, version 2.12.0*

I am a Saatchi artist .. and an art collector since 2019 and love the diversity. As an artist I love the platform, seeing all the emerging artists featured, watching their success and growth. I can’t imagine a world without art and look forward to all the curators’ “picks” and “collections”. Kristina Murray

### 3/5 — STAY AWAY

*2023-03-17, version 2.11.0*

The app is terrible. Instructions clearly say how to upload my artwork and yet what they say to do is completely missing. I can not trust my work to such a sloppy unprofessional company.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2023-01-03, version 2.9.2*

There needs to be pricing filters and often after clicking on more than 4 paintings to see them and read up on the artist, the system stops working. Worst part, you then have to start searching from the beginning. App definitely needs some work.
