Constant “problems occur[ing]”

Almost impossible to get through any simulation on iPad without the app crashing.

adding art from where you are to your gallaries

#smiles

i would like to be able to add a piece from where i am to my gallery rather than having to like the piece in order to go to my likes & then add it to a gallery from there. very annoying! other than that it’s the most amazing way to learn about the evolvement of art.

Fascinating - loving this

These museums are bringing up memories and giving me ideas for future treks.

Surprise this app was developed by Google

Jemenay

I appreciate the effort but sometimes waiting a little bit longer to release a complete app is better than and early release of a mediocre app. I hate this thing, I know is free but I have seem better free apps than this thing from Google. Come on guys I know you can do better than this crap!

A great potential unrealized

So broad and comprehensive it is unusable; you might as well use the internet. If you want specificity, like favorite paintings by favorite artists, Pinterest is more functional. The only competitive advantage this has is geographic locations. Let’s say I want to revisit the Louvre, well this works well for museum tours. Hundreds of thousands of items and articles presumes you have infinite time and no plan. If you like to meander endlessly without goal or outcome, other than killing time, than this is for you. If you want to create order and structure out of your artistic preferences and explore undiscovered items similar to what you love, skip this app. I am going to give it another week and then either delete it or revise the review. Let’s see.

Amazing

The Mina Lisa

So appreciative that this app exists. What generosity that Google even created this, to have this accessibility to art without leaving your home. And they way in which they present it isn’t just “here’s some art, look at it”, you can project masterpieces with your phone on to your own wall, get into sometimes hidden detail of what makes Rembrandt a genius, take virtual tours of the Prada! Almost a crime if you don’t use it.

Web browser in a shell

Interaction experience the same bad as its website. If you long press a card you can even see Safari link preview pop up. If you visit the website in Safari, it automatically jumps to app, which is just the same web browser. Why install it in the first place if it’s just a web browser in a shell?

A great contribution

This app is in itself an art work of Google. Google has bridged the gap between me and the stock of art knowledge.

Doesn’t work on iPad Mini 2 - iOS 12.4.4.

According to the App Store, this should work on my iPad mini, but it does not. I tried two different experiences: Visiting the leaning tower of Pisa and taking a tour of a park in France. In both cases, the app would constantly hang after the first slide and would state that an error occurred and it was reloading. After a few minutes of this I quit the app and tried starting again, but same result. I also noticed that there are two icons for my account on the upper right and I suspect there should only be one. Too bad. Looks like an interesting app.

Great app, only one thing

Maester Pycelle

Great. I only wish I could swipe through my favorites rather than clicking, backing out, and clicking again. Also, it would be nice to have different options for organizing my favorited works—by medium, time period, etc., or even reversing the order— rather than having to always scroll through them from my most recent to the earliest that I favorited; once you gather a decent number, it’s very tedious to navigate them always in the exact same order.
