DailyArt provides a daily dose of art with interesting facts and artist information, making learning about art fun and accessible R1R3R4. While many users enjoy the free version, some find the paid subscription expensive and feel too much content is locked behind a paywall R6R44.

The paid subscription removes ads and unlocks more content, such as historical art information and quizzes R6R9.

  • Users feel they are asked to pay to look at anything, questioning why when similar content is free online.R44
  • The monthly subscription fee of £9.99 just to view art ad-free is considered excessive and goes against the spirit of art being accessible.R6
  • Some users report issues with activating their paid subscription and contacting support.R22

Worth paying if

It's worth paying if you want an ad-free experience, desire access to a broader collection of art and historical information, and appreciate the curated content R8R9. It's also suitable for those who want to deepen their art knowledge beyond the daily free offering and are willing to pay a premium for it.

Skip / stay free if

Skip paying if you are content with the daily free art pieces, find the subscription price too high, or prefer to find art information for free online R6R23R44. Also, if you experience technical issues with subscription activation or customer support, it might be best to avoid paying until those are resolved R22.

Evidence note: Recent reviews show a negative skew regarding price and locked content, contrasting with a high lifetime rating supported by numerous positive reviews praising the free daily content and educational value.

  1. [R6] 1/5 · GB Greedy: A few years ago I would have left a 5 star review. That was before everything on this app was locked behind a paid subscription. There was a time when ads weren’t as intrusive and to get rid of them it only cost a small one time fee. Now it costs £9.99 a month just to look and read about art ad free. Thats greedy and in my opinion goes against everything art is about. We shouldn’t have to
  2. [R44] 1/5 · GB It’s ok. Nothing amazing: Limited. Just ask u to pay to look at anything, don’t understand why when I can see everything for free on the net
  3. [R22] 4/5 · GB Paid for subscription but can’t activate: I keep trying to pay for the subscription, but each time there is no effect and I can always see the ads. I tried to click on Contact Support but it is not working, always asks me to install an email app, which is there all the time. I hope it can be resolved soon.

[R21] 5/5 · GB A few minutes of joy, every day: The daily dose of art delivered by this app is a perfect way to while away a few minutes, with beautiful images, interesting facts and information about the artists and techniques and handy links to a more in depth view of related artists and images.
  10. [R23] 5/5 · GB A great way to improve your day: It’s great to dedicate even just a couple of minutes to art every day.

  16. [R50] 5/5 · GB Fantastic for art beginners: I love art but have never known how to fully understand what I’m actually looking at, and this is where Daily Art excels! I’m shown a wide variety of artists and styles, and starting to understand more about art and gaining confidence as time goes on. I also like that the descriptions aren’t too long and are easy to digest without too much difficult terminology. I rea
