  • Nice, but needs a couple of tweaks

    I just started using the app so I haven't explored that much. The artwork is gorgeous, of course. One problem for me is that there's no way to adjust the size of the text that accompanies each piece, and it is teeny tiny. There's an accessibility section in settings but all that's there is the ability to choose light or dark mode. Another improvement I would make is to respond to rotation of the device so that artwork that is in a landscape orientation can be shown as large as possible. Right now the app stays in portrait orientation even if you rotate the device.
  • Not that good

    I’ve seen better AI filters with TikTok Filters it acts janky often making whatever you take a photo of to not look like the actual thing it’s based off of with weird misconstrues.
  • No landscape…???

  • A sad app capitalizing on actual curation

    Interface is good but it’s pretty clear this app is solely relying on using the art data to train their AI models. Kadinsky, Van Gogh, Monet are turning over in their graves.
  • Not opening

    Mine doesn’t even load past the starting screen. It’s says that there was some connection error but everything I search for says to power off my device (already tried) or my data settings. I haven’t got past the loading screen. And it’s definitely not my internet. Will update if it works!!

    It won’t ever let me open the app because it says there’s an error. There’s never a problem with my connection either. I want to use this app, but I’ve never been able to get it to open
  • You need this app!!!

    This is the first time I’ve ever been moved to write an app review. Google Arts & Culture has fully changed the way I use my phone and consume content. This app is full of incredible educational information and learning experiences, everything from fascinating interactive virtual exhibits on the da Vinci codices to articles on history, art galleries, and so much more. I recently decided to delete social media and began replacing it with apps like this, going from mindless scrolling to actually benefitting and learning from what I am consuming has been a game changer. If you’re someone who enjoys learning and appreciates culture and the natural world, or if you’re simply just a curious mind, this is the app for you!! I’m so surprised it’s not more popular.
