Good job dev team 👏

I like this app! The scanner works, I get to save my favorite paintings and artists… many paintings come with a blurb, even shows where they’re on display, plus the app looks good :)The search function did take me a few tries to figure out. Say I look up Monet, then Fragonard, the app would search for Fragonard in Monet works 😅

Audio re-routed away from AirPods at each station

Used at Taliesin West - headphones are required for the audio tour, but the app would switch the audio from AirPods to speaker when it switched “tracks” at every station. Maybe the app tried to force set set wired headphones even though we were using airpods?? Happened 16 times on both my iPhone 12 and my wife’s SE v2 - we each have AirPods Pro (v1).Report a problem in the App Store also does not work -app cannot be selected from recent purchases, so the ‘next’ prompt never goes active.

Imagine if this app could be used to scan everything you happen to see on any given day? Check the list of locations the app is currently available in so as to avoid making yourself look like a moron lol.. great app I was impressing my gf until she caught me using it lol

Thanks for your great feedback! Scanning tattoos is a good idea too 😉

Lacking many artists

Lacking many artists and struggling to detect art. I have a Francis bacon art work book and it can’t recognize any of the photos. There’s a painting at my local library I’ve always liked but the librarians don’t know where it’s from, and the app doesn’t even detect it as a painting. The system linking artists to art and recommending others is excellent though so the functionality of recognizing art gets a 0 and the rest gets a 4

Sorry to hear the app didn't quite live up to your expectations. Smartify scanning works best in museums which have added their works to our platform. You can search through the locations already using Smartify on the app or enable your location on the accounts page so we can suggest nearby venues!

And all bugs that once were… are now gone. The shadows have lifted, performance is swifter, and your journey through the app shall be smoother than ever before.
