Needs work. I love that you can browse museum collections from the museum itself in street view. Unfortunately, if you try to move, it takes you to a random location outside the museum. Another gripe is when you're viewing an item, you can't swipe to the next item. You have to back out to the full list, which is strange and annoying. With some updates, it will be awesome.

Though my phone has plenty of space and I have no problems with other apps, this app often wouldn't open at all. Tried the art selfie and all it did was take a photo then stall for several minutes with dots on the photo, then it said take another photo (with the first one still on the screen so it was hard to line up correctly). Just a loop. Lighting and background changes didn't help. Uninstalled. Seems like a good app if you can get it to work. Edited

Lots of good information and data, but can be cumbersome to navigate. My biggest problems are that 1. There is no way to edit or delete a gallery that we make under our profile. 2. No way to suggest museums and art pieces that are missing from the app's database. For example, my city's art museum is not searchable in the app. Also, no support. Edited

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about. I see people leaving 1 star because they couldn't find the Art Selfie feature, which is literally on the main screen when you open the app. The level of detail you can see what in almost all paintings and other art pieces is just mind blowing, I've never had any slowness or freezing issues, Art Selfie works great, information about museums, paintings, artists, etc is really helpful and educational. Front page is constantly displaying new items, so even if you're getting the app only for the selfie feature you might accidentally learn something. Edited

The app let's me get to the accepting or denying permissions point, then I try to take the photo and it gives me the same error: "unfortunately, arts and culture has stopped" I've downloaded, uninstalled and re-downloaded it a couple of times hoping to fix the issue to no avail. Cannot give a more accurate review because I cannot get far enough into the app to do so.
