Customer Reviews
I'm not happy
When I bought this app I was in love. At the time it was somewhat limited in scope but it was awesome to be able to see all this art anywhere I went. Not 3 days later it goes from an awesome app that allowed me to learn More about art any time to a much broader tool that requires an Internet connection to use. Now this is all but useless to me because I don't have a connection on my iPod touch everywhere I go. They changed the fundamental nature of the app with the update and I don't think that is right. What if you bought an app that allowed you to take notes and a few days later they updated it into an app that only allowed you to take notes when your at the pubb, then its no longer what you paid for. Sure it's only 99 cents but it's not what I paid for and I want my dollar back.
Great start!!
Nice to see! Great idea! Hard (impossible!) to include everybody. Still, reminds me of dealers who try to elevate their artists by mixing them in with the greats. I won't say it never works (it never works), but it was nice to see those Russian landscapes. Author Russian? Russian revisionism?
True, most of the Western heavy hitters. No sculpture. No Rodin. No Moore. No women. No surprises except for the Russian landcape painters. Nice surpise. Beautiful, striking, fresh landscape. Worthy! But not like the others-- quite the opposite-- artists who refused to be ignored-- artists who saw life in their own way, through their own lens, with something to share with the world, and had the courage and power and drive and energy to paint that! Art, yes; artists, yes; but painters! Of course there are many others besides the ones included.
The quiz is easy and cute but a great idea. My mom was a Parisian sculptor and we lived in Rome, and she would use museum cards like flash cards with me when I was 8 and 9. In art history I was a Hermione Granger-- the only person who ever knew what was up on the screen. I'll put this on my kids' iPods.
Bravo! Keep up the great work!
Very Disappointed with 4.3 upgrade
Where did all the artists go???? Jackson P, Picasso, Dali to name but a few. You can't have an art app without the post impressionists. Didn't anyone think of copyright infringement before you started selling it? I assumed that was what we were paying for. This app has gone from a 5 to a 1. Sort it out, please.
