### 5/5 — Amazing interactive experience

*2018-12-25, version 1.338*

I’ve never had such a realistic experience viewing a gallery from my phone - it feels just like being there in person. Amazing concept with a lot of promise.

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2018-12-24, version 1.338*

This app was a great and surprisingly fulfilling experience. At first I thought the idea of a virtual exhibition was kinda silly but once I actually opened the app I realized that was far from the truth. There are narrations for each artwork in the show and they describes each piece beautifully. I like how it’s interactive and it really makes you feel like you are there at the exhibition(put on earphones!). What I like most about this is that you can visit it any time, anywhere like a mini art show in your pocket. As a Shepard Fairey fan I definitely recommend giving this a try.

### 5/5 — great app

*2018-12-24, version 1.338*

works perfectly except the audio

### 5/5 — High School Photography and Art Teacher loves

*2018-12-22, version 1.338*

I have seen his street art work in Portugal New York and California and I have always loved knowing immediately that it is SF.  I always take photos of the work within the environment and share them with my students in slideshows. It is hard to convey the impact and scale of the work without actually being there. Christmas break just started but I am going to share this VR experience with my 118 students in January when we return to classes. Fabulous.

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

So easy to use and navigate. Love it.

### 5/5 — Amazing experience

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

This is an incredible way to experience Shepard Fairey’s work if you’ve never visited one of his shows, or even if you have. Bravo!

### 5/5 — The future is nowww

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

This app creates a really cool virtual experience, awesome to hear the insight into how and why Shepard created the pieces, dig the background noise from the neon light in the background too!

### 5/5 — What the world needs right now.

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

This app is incredible. Not only does it showcase works of art that bring up issues people NEED to be talking about, but it also displays it in a very REAL way. You can navigate easily and feel like you’re seeing the work in person.  I am so glad I downloaded this.

### 5/5 — A new way to look at art

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

I read about this exhibit and concept on Barnebys and Juxtapoz and found it very innovative. Taking me into the story and medium of each piece of art is thrilling if you are a Shepard Fairey fan like myself. Keep up the awesome work!

### 5/5 — Great job!

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

I’ve been a fan & collector of Shepard’s work for about 15yrs. This virtual experience was very well executed. I was unable to go to LA for the show, but was able to secure a retired stencil from Library Street Collective. Being able to see my piece in the environment was pretty neat. I enjoyed the audio commentary on various pieces, and overall user experience. Would love to see this implemented more in the art world with other artists and their openings. Great work Shepard and team!

### 5/5 — Groundbreaking

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

A brilliantly simple idea, phenomenally executed! I’m a longtime admirer of Shepard Fairey and have been to several exhibitions of his work, but having access to his personal commentary just takes the experience to another level. The graphics are flawless and the environment is truly immersive. Well worth the price of admission!

### 5/5 — Shepard Fairey App

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

This app is a compilation of Shepard Fairey's Damaged show. What's awesome is that it gives you a clear idea of the thought process around the art, and up close views of every piece from the show. Perfect for the Shepard Fairey fan!

### 5/5 — Experience Art Like you never have before

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

### 1/5 — Desperately needs a update

*2024-05-22, version 1.338*

Needs to be optimized for screens bigger than 9.7 in displays

### 1/5 — I don’t buy apps to hear people talk politics

*2019-04-14, version 1.338*

I hear enough of Trump bashing and Hillary worshipping that I sure don’t want to listen to it on an Art app. I would’ve enjoyed the art itself but after listening to the talking I had to delete the app. Why create an app that half of the country will not like?

### 1/5 — 😞

*2019-04-14, version 1.338*

This app doesn't work on IOS10 (Iphone7).
I remove the app and reinstall it, but it doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Garbage with social agenda

*2019-04-10, version 1.338*

Stupid garbage full of SJW agenda from some time 2008.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2019-04-09, version 1.338*

Could be great but no way to tell.  Instant crash. (iPad Air 2, iOS 10.3)

Tried reinstall but still no go.

### 1/5 — BrokenApp: Open-Crash-Delete-Re-Dwnld-Open-Crash...

*2018-12-26, version 1.338*

...Like my title above says; this app needs a fix.  I'm using an iPad Air 2, running iOS 10.  Please update with a bug squash so I can enjoy the exhibit‼️

### 1/5 — Lol

*2018-12-24, version 1.338*

Garbage

### 4/5 — Great step in the right direction.

*2018-12-21, version 1.338*

I was unable to make it to the exhibition while in LA so I was pleased to see I could experience it now in AR. There’s audio commentary for seemingly every piece (with transcripts which I love). The augmented reality experience is quite good. I found it best to use “rotation only” under control preferences. Using the full “AR” often caused confusion in the direction I was traveling.  Would love to see even higher resolution rendering in the future. Overall a very fun way to see and hear the thought process behind the art. This is a great way to expand the reach of the exhibition and give access to those who couldn’t see it in person.

### 4/5 — Seasoned Citizen Fan

*2018-12-20, version 1.338*

I'm over 70 and have been following Shepard Fairey's rise to prominence in the art, and social justice scene for years. I was blessed to experience an exhibit, in Chicago, that was expertly curated by him. This app offers an engaging spin around his exhibit with a wonderful narration by Shepard himself. Great app for showcasing a special artist.

### 4/5 — Superbe!!!

*2018-12-14, version 1.338*

Génial de pouvoir visiter virtuellement cette exposition !!! 😊

### 5/5 — Very cool concept…

*2021-12-31, version 1.338*

I think this app is excellent and the first of it’s kind that I’ve seen. I hope that more artists take to this format as it’s really an incredible experience without leaving your living room. The only criticism I would have is that this app does not orient itself to the position of the iPad. Other than that, once you get comfortable navigating, it’s pretty awesome. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Super expo et très bonne application

*2020-05-31, version 1.338*

Artiste vraiment intéressant et exposition bien détaillé !

### 5/5 — A well done virtual exhibition

*2019-04-08, version 1.338*

Pretty much just that. It’s a virtual exhibition and is put together about as cleanly as can be done

### 5/5 — Grateful

*2019-01-07, version 1.338*

Thank you Shepard Fairey, Juxtapoz, and VR’t Ventures for developing this app. It was a wonderful gift to see this exhibit up close and personal, including the artist’s commentary, since I was unable to travel to it. The experience made me feel like Shepard is an artist of, by, and for the people. Thanks again.

### 5/5 — Inspiring and Emotional

*2019-01-05, version 1.338*

Loving the damaged app! I’d never get to see Fairey’s work in person this way - the best part is I can really take my time. There’s no rush - no time constraints. Like having my own personal gallery of art, the poignancy Of process and message is just as strong the 20th time I visited - as it was the first. I’m beyond grateful! 🦋✨✨❤️

### 5/5 — @vrtventures

*2019-01-04, version 1.338*

Great app , amazing to be able to visit a complete gallery from your phone

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2019-01-04, version 1.338*

It’s like if you’re at the exhibition with the artist who is explaining each of his work just for you. This is the best way to check Shepard Fairey exhibition without even getting there!

### 5/5 — Cool experience

*2018-12-31, version 1.338*

Very well done app.  Closest thing to actually seeing the exhibit.  Exceeded my expectations.

### 5/5 — Fantástico!

*2018-12-31, version 1.338*

We are living in an era in which our use of technology is and should be questioned. But this app is an affirmation of how technology is a great tool for the everyone who doesn’t have the means to experience something as powerful as Shepard’s work. Congratulations to the team.

### 5/5 — Absolutely stunning, bravo

*2018-12-26, version 1.338*

I’ve honestly in 11 years with Apple have only written 3 reviews including this one about apps which is a testament to the experience. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us.
