Ratings and Reviews
Lovely but also disappointing :(
I really like this app but I really wish the portrait/selfie comparison was available! It was the one of the main reasons I downloaded the app, and it was just a huge disappointment when I found out it wasn’t available in South Africa! :(
Please make it available worldwide!!!
Great content, impossible to navigate
I feel like I have to fight against the app to actually read and enjoy the content. Accidentally click on something? Zero way to get back to what you were reading. Want to zoom in and look at a painting? It’s great that you can but if you want to do anything else in the app you have to exit the app and run a search from scratch to actually read about the painting you were looking at. Such wasted potential. The frustrating user experience makes me far less likely to use the app.
Where’s the Selfie option
I, Honestly, only downloaded this app for the selfie/painting comparison option and I see, now, that it’s not available in South Africa. I gave it three stars because there’s an entire Harry Potter art collection and even though I’m not a huge art fan, I can appreciate the Wizarding World and all the things that come with it...but I’m still gonna delete the app in the next week or so and download it if/when the selfie option is available to us in SA
