1. [R1] Google Arts & Culture 1/5 · US Broken App: This app has failed to work for the last two months. Opening it shows “app error” every time. It’s not a network connection as all my apps work properly except this one.
2. [R21] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US Not opening: Keeps crashing and is refusing to open on my phone.
3. [R24] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US Needs a Better Update: The app crashes after several minutes of use, but overall very good hi-res images.
4. [R10] Google Arts & Culture 1/5 · US PLEASE READ: So I CANT GET IN GAMES BECAUSE “failing to load content”.I restarted and tried other stuff but it still WONT WORK please fix🥺🙏🏻🙏
5. [R9] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US No landscape support: Works fine in portrait mode but desperately needs landscape mode.
6. [R12] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US The iPad app needs more work: I was amused by this project when I saw it on web, however it was not so good when I downloaded the iPad app. The first main problem that I had was that the application does not work on landscape mode 🫠. It was a huge deception to me since I have a keyboard and I prefer to work on a landscape mode to see more images. 👎 The second enhancement that Google team should wo
7. [R13] Google Arts & Culture 1/5 · US Terrible App: No landscape mode is honestly laughable coming from the biggest conglomerate. You’ll implement a bunch of useless tacky (ai) functions without even having a basic working system that allows for landscape mode. The search system makes it impossible to narrow down subject matter. Crashes all the time. When you’re looking through archives and go past a certain point it will crash and yo
8. [R18] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US I love this app, but…: Since the moment I downloaded this app, I loved it. I love the easy access to a variety of artworks and their history, also that if you want to explore about any art content, it takes you to the correct websites. The only thing I have to complain is that the recent apps version does not support the screen rotation. I have it on my phone and on my iPad, and I can’t enjoy the
9. [R2] Google Arts & Culture 4/5 · US Good potential, but ditch the AI: This app has a lot of potential and I was really looking forward to using it as an alternative to mindless scrolling. Unfortunately Google is leaning into AI way too much, including having soulless AI-generated podcasts that “discuss” art. What an insult to humanity! I had to immediately uninstall.
10. [R3] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US AI features are a miss: I think this app is a great resource in general for art fans. But these AI features being pushed upon the user base are a huge turn off. Why would a fan of visual art, likely an artist themselves, want to listen to an AI character podcasting about Starry Night? I think the AI audio stuff is downright useful in Notebook LM, but here? Just feels like a devaluing of human expr
11. [R7] Google Arts & Culture 1/5 · US ai everywhere: the fact there is a large ai box on everything is so annoying it obstructs the view and is just so frustrating. why does ai have to be literally everywhere i turn even when im trying to learn about art. at least make an option to make it go away
12. [R4] Google Arts & Culture 1/5 · US This item no longer exists.: I don't use Arts & Culture that often; I only use this more for education. There is a glitch where you cannot remove favorite images (or images in the lists you have made) that show a greyed-out, squiggly/ripped icon. I can delete non-deleted artworks, but not the ones that show these symbols. First, I have tried to use uBlock Origin on my computer, but it won't let
13. [R6] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US What the heck?!: Bro literally the games don’t work! At school, we play on the website on our iPads and the games work perfectly. But all of a sudden I download it on my phone and the games don’t work! The learning stuff and the camera games work but not the real games like the viola game and the blob opera. Pls fix it!!!
14. [R15] Google Arts & Culture 3/5 · US A few tweaks needed for mobile users: I use this app on my iphone and ipad. A couple things keep me from giving it five stars. One, the galleries of artists don't often include their full oeuvre but rather a few of their selected works. On the same note, some artists with relevant and incredible works don’t exist in this app. Two, why is the mobile UI so oddly conposed? I spent a few moments tryin
15. [R16] Google Arts & Culture 2/5 · US Interface needs much improvement: This app is an incredible, vast resource for you mind and soul. The main issue I have reading it on my ipad is the interface. There are no settings to change the font size, so you almost need a magnifying glass to read it.
16. [R52] Google 5/5 · US I love it: It can predict. My classes gives me sections on things I love this app!
17. [R56] Google 5/5 · US 18 years.: i have been using this app for 18... 18 YEARS.
18. [R60] Google 5/5 · US Deon Davon Podcast: Outstanding google help protect all accounts they have great services in every platform
19. [R66] Google Calendar 5/5 · US Fast and Easy: Great
20. [R69] Google Calendar 5/5 · US Good calendar 📅: Awesome calendar 📅 app
21. [R72] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Wish the day of the month showed on the app: The app works great. I love how calendar invites that come in to my Gmail also goes to my calendar once accepted. The only complaint I have is that it always shows “31” on the app. It would be nice if it showed the day of the month, like Apple calendar does. It’s helpful for quick glance to see the date.
22. [R75] Google Calendar 4/5 · US Time Zone Error: Recently, I’ve been having an issue when other apps upload things to the Google Calendar where Google is putting it in a different time zone. For example my Google email will have a email with an appointment and it’ll completely inter a bizarre time zone Other than that, I really enjoy using the Google Calendar. It’s very helpful in planning. & adding reminders. In addition, a
23. [R92] Google Earth 4/5 · US Love google earth: I love Google Earth, it is so useful, because when I want to find a place or see my home or See the world from the outside it is so cool when you go in and in and in and in, and then you find the place you’re looking for you see all the air that you go and you go and you see like or the sea or the land and it is so cool I recommend you to download it now. I recommend when you go
24. [R94] DailyArt 5/5 · US Inspirational: I have been using that app for a while and it’s been a blast. Every day I take a short break from my usual routine to discover and read about new art pieces. My city lacks art galleries so for me this is the best way to connect with beauty and messages each piece provides.
25. [R97] DailyArt 5/5 · US Unbelievably Educational: Solid educational app. I really didn’t know anything about art but daily viewing reading the piece of the of day has taught me how to identifying realism vs Impressionism and baroque vs modern styles. It’s become one of the highlights of my day and it certainly beats doom scrolling.
26. [R100] DailyArt 5/5 · US A lovely little app: Everyday is a joyful discovery of a new and beautiful art piece, along with a brief description of its artist and meaning.
27. [R103] DailyArt 5/5 · US Awesome: Nice to look forward to every day
28. [R108] Smartify 5/5 · US Klimt - the Kiss: Truly informative and educational! Try love this app !
29. [R109] Smartify 3/5 · US Lovely when it works: Very cool when it happens to have a painting in its database, which it usually doesn’t. E.g. some paintings in the Yale Center for British Art, but none of its Canalettos.
30. [R110] Smartify 1/5 · US Can’t identify a lot of paintings: Corn poppy kees von dongen and a mattise with a cat i have could not identify
31. [R111] Smartify 5/5 · US The classroom: Truly like being in class at a major university
32. [R114] Smartify 4/5 · US Super cool!: I am new to this app but I really like it already - what an awesome way to explore lots of cool places, exhibits, and experiences! Only suggestion - I wish you could search by location (e.g. “London”) and have everything come up. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out where things are located (e.g. there are several “National Gallery” listings and it’s hard to figure out which is in Londo
33. [R119] Smartify 5/5 · US Joy of art: So amazing to be able to identify paintings that give such joy
