Projekt "OpenArt – Sztuka współczesna dla wszystkich" został sfinansowany przez Narodowe Centrum Badań i Rozwoju w ramach programu Innowacje Społeczne. Celem projektu jest stworzenie multimedialnego przewodnika po dziełach sztuki współczesnej w oparciu o projektowanie uniwersalne. Dzięki zastosowaniu zasad projektowania uniwersalnego przewodnik dostępny jest dla wszystkich zwiedzających muzeum bez względu na niepełnosprawność czy (nie)znajomość języka. Przewodnik składa się z filmów, które dostępne są z napisami w języku polskim i angielskim oraz z tłumaczeniem na polski język migowy. Dzięki temu, że opisy dzieł zawierają informacje o ich wyglądzie, przewodnik może służyć również osobom niewidomym i słabowidzącym. Projekt bazuje na zasadzie Bring your own device (z ang. "weź ze sobą własne urządzenie") – odbiorcy opisywanych w przewodniku dzieł sztuki korzystają z własnych smartfonów lub tabletów. Przewodnik może być wykorzystywany zarówno przez zwiedzających muzeum, jak i przez osoby nie znajdujące się fizycznie w muzeum, lecz po prostu zainteresowane jego zbiorami.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OpenArt at 100% against Fictional's 50%. OpenArt also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). Fictional's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fictional sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. OpenArt asks for nothing beyond the download.
Fictional holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fictional has 195 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of OpenArt's written reviews are positive against 50% of Fictional's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OpenArt ships an update every 4 months, Fictional every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
