WikiArt

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 There was another app called “Wiki Art” that used to have some of these features but it’s no longer maintained.

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.

I’ll start by saying there’s some serious potential here. I love having access to a database like this and the images are mostly great quality. Regarding content, collections are largely incomplete and a great deal of artists aren’t on here. Regarding features, it is easy to lose your place in the search, hitting the back button often takes you to the top or beginning instead of where you left off. You cannot favorite or follow an artist (only the art), but this doesn’t really matter anyway because the app does not sync with the website version - which is totally useless.

This is a great app with bios, artwork, a search feature and period/movement categories to just explore. I really like to look up pieces I love when I’m at a museum and favorite them to learn more about later. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Love previous versions of this app. One of my favorite features was to download full resolution images. Doesn’t look like that option is available anymore. Makes it hard to share great art through the ages that I’ve come to love. Still enjoy looking and learning, but sharing is harder.
