### 2/5 — App not working

*2026-04-24, version 35*

Downloaded this app on a whim because I saw it on TikTok and it seems like a scam of an app. It lists “No Shows” on both LA and NY which is funny since those places are teeming with art galleries and art events.

### 3/5 — Very good. Needs more filters

*2026-02-20, version 35*

App is great as a comprehensive source of listings. I wish I could filter by type of show. Photography, sculpture, etc. as is, it takes me a long time to use the app to plan my gallery days

### 4/5 — It’s nice but

*2026-01-11, version 35*

I wish there was a filter to sort out which galleries are open on certain days. (Some galleries are closed on sundays, tuesdays & Wednesdays)

### 5/5 — Best Art App

*2025-11-30, version 35*

Hard to keep up with all the happenings especially during Art Week! And I’m in the arts. Thank you for this tool.

### 4/5 — Art hub

*2025-09-19, version 35*

I really enjoy the app. I wish more cities like Chicago could be added

### 5/5 — Great App - Accurate Info

*2025-09-08, version 35*

Great app for art events!

### 3/5 — Great listings; needs better organization

*2025-07-16, version 35*

It is long past time for you to break the neighborhood listings out of the generic “Downtown” category, which currently is the dumping ground for hundreds of galleries spread across the Lower East Side, Soho, Chinatown and Tribeca, each of which deserves its own heading. Furthermore, the galleries are listed alphabetically instead of by area or street or a more navigable & intuitive way. This all makes the app pretty useless for planning gallery visits except for the “Opening Today” feature, since most gallery neighborhoods tend to cluster their openings.

### 3/5 — Comprehensive + Frustratingly Dated

*2025-07-07, version 35*

Hands down the best app for seeing all of the shows in cities like NYC at a glance. While I appreciate a minimal design that keeps the objective of browsing art shows at the top of mind, the app is in serious need of an update. A robust search function would be mightily useful. I like that the app mainly categorizes of shows by borough, but would appreciate more having more filters to categorize by say artist, or by primary medium featured in the show (maybe through some sort of tagging system). And feature that allows you to organize shows into saved “lists” would also give me more agency to choose my own adventure as a user. The app can also be pretty laggy at times.

### 5/5 — Top notch guide to art galleries

*2025-06-10, version 35*

If you like going to art galleries, See Saw is a must!

### 5/5 — Perfect for bopping around

*2025-05-18, version 35*

I love this app, as it’s a great way to see a bunch of galleries in a neighborhood. Only major improvement I can imagine would be a filter that only shows galleries that are open right now. Would be pretty easy to code that.

### 5/5 — Orientation

*2025-05-05, version 35*

A great app to help you organize a gallery day with many neighborhoods to choose from. It also lists openings which is very helpful. Easy to use. Some galleries aren’t included but so many are.

### 4/5 — Filter for what’s open? :(

*2025-04-07, version 35*

Lovely app so glad things like this exist. But please work in a way for me to filter out things that are closed. Since the galleries don’t have a strictly uniform schedule system it’s helpful on off days, especially Sunday and Monday what’s closed.

### 5/5 — No longer accurate on galleries and shows in NYC

*2025-03-11, version 35*

A shame that the app is no longer staying up to date

### 4/5 — Wish there were thumb nails on the listings

*2025-01-30, version 35*

otherwise really great app for neighborhood / opening info

### 5/5 — This app is awesome

*2024-12-25, version 35*

Expand to more cities and for non iPhone users please

### 4/5 — I was able to negotiate the app

*2024-11-12, version 35*

Took a bit of searching to map out what to see in chelsea But in the end pretty usefull and upto date Hope ing photography will be better representative innthe future

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No information

*2026-03-16, version 35*

Haven’t updated any exhibitions

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-02-20, version 35*

They didn’t list my favorite artist/ gallery and I missed it because I figured it would be on the app and it wasn’t

### 1/5 — Missing listings

*2025-02-03, version 35*

Missing too many shows in manhattan and paris.

### 1/5 — No shows

*2024-12-09, version 35*

Doesn't work

### 1/5 — No data loading. Just says updating indefinitely

*2024-03-23, version 34*

No data loading for Los Angeles. Just says updating indefinitely

### 1/5 — Horrible interface

*2021-08-11, version 29*

The fact that I need to select the galleries and then locate them on the map and then try to find within those i chose the one I need is such a hassle, really can’t be bothered with this. Why not just show everything on the map and filter that in different ways.

### 1/5 — Gender equality

*2021-06-19, version 29*

Why are the majority of your listings female? Why do you not feature more shows by male artists?

### 1/5 — Requires IOS 13

*2019-10-31, version 25.1*

:( can’t use it then.

### 1/5 — worthless. sadly unable to give zero stars

*2019-10-25, version 25.1*

many galleries aren’t listed because they have to pay exorbitant prices for the listing- artforum app is way way way better.

### 1/5 — agdjdjjd

*2019-07-30, version 23*

nothing is on here anymore what happened?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Expansion

*2026-08-02, version 37.1*

It would be great if there were more cities available, gallery data crowdsourced potentially? Not sure how that would work but love this app. Always recommend

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-06-25, version 37.1*

Love this app. Today was my 3rd time pivoting a Thursday hang to a gallery night — the see saw app is so helpful and I don’t even like apps :)

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2026-05-15, version 37*

Lovely app. Like the new design. The blue dots are a bit vague compared to the old pins, though, but…I’m sure things can be tweaked in the future!

I’d like to see an option to hide or mark shows you aren’t interested in, and also highlight shows you’ve already viewed. Please add this!

### 5/5 — Loveeee

*2026-04-13, version 35*

Been using this app since freshman year of college 🥹 so many memories and definitely the best app for discovering galleries

### 5/5 — Suggestions

*2026-04-07, version 35*

Great app for gallery viewings , but would love to have more features. 
- Ability to create different lists if youre planning viewings for different days
- friends/share your route with others
- the preview view in featured is great, would like to see that in lists view overall

### 5/5 — Pm.

*2026-04-05, version 35*

Best app on my phone!

### 5/5 — Game Changer for 2026

*2026-01-02, version 35*

Planning my weeks around See Saw Map now.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-01, version 35*

So great to have this way to plan out what I want to see where. I love this app.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2025-12-31, version 35*

Useful app for artists

### 5/5 — My dream app

*2025-12-12, version 35*

I am grateful this app exists - how easy it makes planning gallery visits by neighborhood. The editor’s picks and featured shows are spot on. I used to plan gallery trips using the printed gallery guides, but this app makes it convenient to see what shows are closing, and removes their pins on the map once the shows have closed. Thank you to the creators and maintainers of See Saw.
