Reviews
App Design is Terrible
infiniteperceptron
No back buttons. Horrible responsiveness on iPad. Frequently trapped in an image with no way to back out. Frustrating.
Dark Mode
CorrosionSP
Please add dark mode. White irritates the eyes and is distracting when looking at artworks.
Works janky

This is a hit or miss. Sometimes there is a back button at the top left corner to return to the previous page. Sometimes not. I can’t tell you the amount of times I had to turn to the main page of this app to re-search the location I was just in. For example; explore by places. Click on a location from the list. Now try to go back. Yep no back button so you have to go back to Home again, click Places, sort by alphabetical...again and scroll ..again. Cmon this is 2021 Some galleries also don’t allow you to zoom in on the artwork. This is especially stupid if the artwork is what looks like to be the size of my iPhone....on my 12.9’ iPad Pro. I did not buy this giant iPad to view small pictures that don’t allow me to zoom in.
No back button.

Seriously. How do you move around in this thing without losing your mind? Spending so much time to get through only to have to start all over to return to where you just were.. Navigation really kills this apps utility.
Question

I really enjoy the visual crossword puzzle but do the picture ever change? I’m getting bored doing the same one all the time.

Seems google arts and culture seems to be working differently. Can’t put selfie with matching art work directly into photo gallery.Can send to messages and then to photo gallery. App also such as augmented reality glitchy. Changes not for the better. Great app just got annoying. Checking to see if it’s just my phone phone but friends phone seems to do the same. Options to share your selfie with matching art picture given choices such as messages, notes, email, Facebook, Instagram. Pictures from art projectotvetc no longer go into google arts and culture grouping
Suggestions for some improvements.

Should include a feature to separate explicit paintings. Also, a back button everywhere will make the users' experience better.
