Great App - Missing Critical UX Features
07/22/2018

thecivilpost
The app is great, searching images and artist. It misses few critical user experience feature. Additionally it’s not really wiki as the end user cannot add or contribute to the contents as the wiki is supposed to do. The UX features missing include:1.) Ability to Like / Favorite.2.) Ability to create different collections of your favorite art.3.) No Wiki details about the artist, the painting, the style, period. Link to Wikipedia page.4.) Inability for people to save / make wallpaper on their phone for art.5.) Events / Museums Info where people can go and see that particular art.6.) Curated Audio review / criticism of art / artist for each image.This leaves the user with a shallow experience and searching for another app that could provide the very basic feature for a great user experience. There was another app called “Wiki Art” that used to have some of these features but it’s no longer maintained.

Not Donation Based

I downloaded the app and opened and was immediately presented with a one week trial. I agreed and forgot about it. Then I was charged $5.26 ($4.99 for app and $0.27 in sales tax). The just of my complaint is that this is shown as a donation based app from $0.99 and upward. This is clearly not the case. I also received no receipt for my purchase. My point is that the developer shouldn’t indicate that it is donation based, when it is clearly a purchased app. Now I don’t know if I’m going to be charged $5.26 each month or if this is a one time purchase. Two points for being very shady. BTW, I have no idea how well the app works. It might be awesome. That doesn’t excuse the way it is handled financially. I’ll revise this if the developer ever responds to me on here or to my emails.

Such potential

I would be willing a small monthly fee for this app if the Apple TV app would allow me to the previous menu once I click on a painting. As it stands, I have to restart the app in order to get out of a painting once I click on it. It's terrific that you can zoom into pieces. I would love to have information about each piece with an additional long press of the remote button as well.

I love WikiArt because of its all inclusive content. Not only it shows huge variety of artworks from different eras, but also the biography of many artists. It is like an online art school digital library. Thank you for everyone who made and keeps making this site shine.
