This is a really good app for learning about different parts of the world. There isn't anything else like this for discovering the hidden wonders and gems out there. With that being said the design of the app feels unnatural and all over the place so I would say it can improve on that part. But overall a really innovative and creative app.

Lots of good information and data, but can be cumbersome to navigate. My biggest problems are that 1. There is no way to edit or delete a gallery that we make under our profile. 2. No way to suggest museums and art pieces that are missing from the app's database. For example, my city's art museum is not searchable in the app. Also, no support.

The selfie comparison app is only available in certain areas. I've tried a VPN, but still no luck. I don't mind if Google wants to regulate their free technology, but I wish I had known about the restrictions before I wasted a very frustrating 20 minutes trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. UPDATE Nov 2018: I received a very nice message from Google. They explained that the app has been updated for international use. I reinstalled the app. It crashes every time I open it. 😖😖😖

THIS app is my new go-to.😍 It takes you on a journey. It's INCREDIBLE!! You can browse art & artists by medium, technique, country, era, genre, palette, or movement, just to name a few. I founds tons of areas of modern a d classic art areas to explore and learn more about. it felt like traveling. I adore using it❤ THERE IS SO MUCH IN HERE ❤

Nearly unusable. After opening the app, a blue ring appears and although I've waited many minutes, it will not load into the app. I can only sometimes load into the app when I go to another window then back to this app. When attempting to use the "Art Selfie" feature, it will freeze and add dots to the picture. After this, the app is entirely unusable and you must close the app and attempt to open it again (the way I mentioned earlier.) It's frustrating and must be fixed to be useful.

Now that the selfie-artwork comparisons feature has been enabled in my region, it's a fun hook to using the app to explore various works of art. When I originally tried the app in January 2018 it was not fully functional in my state. Though it took a bit of time, it's good to see the developer address the issues. (As I recall, there were problems with copyright laws in various US states.)

Though my phone has plenty of space and I have no problems with other apps, this app often wouldn't open at all. Tried the art selfie and all it did was take a photo then stall for several minutes with dots on the photo, then it said take another photo (with the first one still on the screen so it was hard to line up correctly). Just a loop. Lighting and background changes didn't help. Uninstalled. Seems like a good app if you can get it to work.

As an artist this app is a fantastic education resource! As a UX/UI designer, it drives me crazy. There are parts of the UI that are fairly sleek, the articles and slideshows are nice enough. Other components have potential but the interface is clunky, glitchy, hardly worthy of being part of a Google app. The idea of the coloring game is so great but the functionality is lacking, you can barely zoom, it freezes, you can't customize the color palettes. Pleeeease fix it.
