This application is fantastic! My friend and I started a two person art history club. We study a theme every month and conclude with a visit of the relevant collection at the Met. This application allows me to organize my research, illustrates it with exemples and broaden it thanks to the links. I use it in both French and English. Excellent work on which I base mine! Thank you. Highly recommend.

I'm so thankful for this app as a passionate self learner. This app makes art history part of my daily learning and provides me with the easiest way to navigate the unbelievably huge world of art history. And I've paid for premium access content simply because of how cheap it is, how accessible they've made learning and for the pure value of an app like this.

Wow! Incredible app. I wish this existed when I took all of my art history classes. The interface is fantasic; loads of info. I bought the upgrade, as well. I love how you can see contiguous styles of art around the globe for each period. One criticism is female artists that were forgotten, remain forgotten. Ie, Rodin but no Claudel; Vienna Secessionist show only male artists. In general, however, the app is still more inclusive than how things used to be. Overall, it's scope is amazing!
