A widely publicised feature, where you can submit a selfie and have it matched to a person in an artwork doesn't seem to be available in many places, including the US and UK. Was it a trick to get people to download the app, the cynic inside me asks?

Pros:

well organised, but curated for an american audience

Cons:

Advertised and promoted features not available in most locations

Molly Huang
Agree. If the feature is only available in the US as they published, they should make it clear that a lot of people may not find this after downloading.

i didn't feel compelled to explore the actually arts & culture, was more focused on taking a selfie.

Pros:

fun for 1 day of sharing selfies with friends

Cons:

the app didn't excite me

I don't know why your cool features just for some country. I just downloaded. And now I must be delete with bad feeling

Pros:

Nice app, clean and well organised. It is very friendly, menu on sidebar like gmail.

Cons:

Features is not available in my country so I didn't do anything

I just found the app yesterday, but it is awesome! If you need a collection of arts with easy acсess, you should try it. It is perfect, when you read a book about art and you want to see a painting🖼
