If you were asked, right now, to name your favourite painting, could you? Most of us have none, and it is not for lack of feeling or interest - we were just never shown. No one ever walked us past the Impressionists, sat us down with Caravaggio's darkness or Turner's light, or told us which five painters to start with. Art Bites is your cicerone — the old word for the cultivated guide who once led travellers through the great works. It brings you the whole history of art, one work at a time: a painting you never knew existed, the mind behind it, the moment it belongs to. As machines conjure infinite images to be glanced at and forgotten, Art Bites does the opposite: it returns you to the greatest human works ever made. WANDER, YOUR WAY • A daily personalised feed of thousands of masterworks — from Monet's water lilies to Goya's darkest visions • Smart Browse: hand-curated collections like After Dark, The Quiet Room, and Dutch Golden Age — or build your own from scratch • Through Time: the entire span of art history, era by era, from Medieval illumination to Symbolism and beyond • Browse by Artist, Movement or carefully chosen tags • Discover and evolve your very own taste map GO DEEPER • Read: the full story behind every work — medium, movement, year, and where it hangs today • Guide: curated interpretation that unpacks what you're looking at, and why it matters KNOW THE GREATS • Meet the artists behind the masterpieces — top artists this month, movements in focus, and a growing directory of hundreds of painters • Spot the Artist & Name the Artist: quick, addictive quizzes that train your eye until you can recognize a hand on sight • Extensive learn features: flashcards, artist quizzes, palette matching, detail quizzes and more MAKE IT YOURS • Favorite anything with a tap and watch your own gallery take shape • Personalized recommendations that sharpen the more you browse • Share a discovery the instant it stops you in your tracks The greatest achievements of human seeing. No longer reserved for the few who happened to be shown. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Everbranch

Features
Read full description

Travel the whole history of life as one living, branching river of light. Everbranch turns 13.8 billion years into a place you can explore in 3D. Start at the Big Bang and drift downstream through the first stars, the primordial ocean, the first cells, the Cambrian explosion, the age of dinosaurs, and the rise of us — then follow the side-rivers: plants, fungi, arthropods, molluscs, dinosaurs-to-birds, the great mammals, the unseen world of microbes, cartilaginous sharks, and amphibians between two worlds. • A living 3-D cosmos — pan, pinch and tap a glowing tree of 186 milestones across 53 lineages. • Journey mode: the tree unfolds one milestone at a time, so you always know where you are and what comes next. Switch to Explore whenever you want to roam the whole tree freely. • Find a common ancestor — pick any two living branches, like you and mushrooms, and watch the path light up to the ancestor they share. • Real, public-domain imagery (NASA, Hubble, classic natural-history plates) on the cosmic spine and many organisms. • A detail card for every milestone: what happened, why it matters, key stats, and related milestones to jump to. • The Logbook — a collectable album of every specimen you have discovered, with full search. • An era index with a timeline scrubber, bookmarks, and "continue where you left off". • A gentle quiz and "did you know?" facts to test what you have learned. • Optional ambient soundscape and narration, in all 8 supported languages. • A "milestone of the day" home-screen widget and daily reminder. • Built for accessibility: VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency. • A living, growing cosmos: new milestones, lineages and imagery arrive over time, and content already on your device keeps working offline. • No account. No ads. No third-party tracking. EVERBRANCH PREMIUM An optional subscription that unlocks: • The full Guided Tour — a cinematic, narrated show through all 17 chapters (the first 3 are free for everyone). • Watch It Grow — a time-lapse of the entire tree growing from the Big Bang to today. • AR Mode — place the tree of life on a table and walk around it. Everbranch Premium costs US$2.99 per month (or the equivalent in your local currency) and renews automatically. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
