ArtStation App

I love this app and my one pet peeve is that the notifications system is a pile of crap. 1. The notifications come up as a banner in the Notifications center but you have to open up the app for the bubble with the number of notifications. 2. In the app it tells you how many notifications you have but when you open up the actual tab for it it doesn’t show which ones are new, even a simple blue dot on the right of the notification that goes away after you view it would work. Also as a side note I’d appreciate being able to swipe through the different pieces in the notifications queue like you do on the Browse page. 3. Speaking of the Browse page it would be cool if you could narrow down what you want to see by being able to choose more than one subject.

If you follow art in film, tv, games, toys... This is where you will find the portfolios of top artists and aspiring in the the industry. ArtStation has been extremely active in keeping its site and app up to date with constant support and updates since conception. Since ArtStation is the go to site for professional artists in all mediums to publish their portfolios there is consistent activity on a day to day basis. For artists, the offering is a rich environment to publish your work for free and receive news on the industry. You can upgrade to pro for custom features as well as discounts for online content in the storefront. You can create your own blog, sell your work, and establish a great list of connections focused on your artistic skills. I have established some decent consignment projects through ArtStation and have had some great relationships created through this app/site.

I really appreciate this website for allowing the creation of a great art community that I enjoy visiting. But after the new app update, which changed the whole layout of the app, it’s been buggy ever since. When I scroll through the update feeds, it constantly clicks on posts when I really was just scrolling from up to down. It’s frustrating. But I see that they are fixing bugs, there was a bug with zooming in on artworks but they seemed to have addressed it. I just wish they returned the zoom in that stays zoomed in so I can keep looking at the zoomed in pic without having to have two fingers constantly zooming. But that’s just me. Love the app/website!

I really enjoy the community and the works on here; but you guys really need to add a home feature that shows the works of the artists that someone’s following! I mean seriously! This app feels so cheap because it’s so hard to maneuver around. You can’t easily see new posts from artists you’re following; and you have to click on a photo and leave it every time when going on the browse page which makes the act of browsing actually really difficult and tedious!! If you guys seriously have millions of active users then act like it and make this an actually usable app! All you’ve gotta do is 1. Add a tab where you can see posts from people you’re following like a timeline on Instagram or twitter or something of that sort. And while someone might point to the activity page it’s practically useless because every post someone you’re following comments on or likes ends up being there; so you can’t even see the posts of the people you’re following behind all of the random posts that they interacted with. 2. Allow users to swipe or slide to posts that are next to each other. Like; If you’re on the browse page then you can swipe right to see the next post or something like that. 3. Put in some sort of animation or movement when you interact with the app! It feels really stiff!

Its not a bad website, just a bad app. I was recommended by my brother to try this app since I’m applying to colleges and I wanted to make an art portfolio. Well the signing in was overly complicated, especially with passwords. You need special characters as well as both upper and lower case letters before it’s satisfied in letting you join. Next was my profile, where they were overly specific on the background size, and despite changing the size, they wouldn’t accept it. Then there was the actual portfolio. I started one but realized it was a PROJECT, so I started over, and now it says I can’t use the portfolio feature on my device. I instead had to just go on the website and start my portfolio. So long story short- forget the app. Just use the website and it will be okay.
