2026-07-04	Ra*****	I really like it, it covers all sorts of art from many different decades. If it changed daily with different pieces of art, that would be lovely, and also if it was maybe more interactive somehow, but either way it's very interesting!

2026-02-18	Pe*****	Not much point in a "free" app when the most importent things on there (like the Ashmolean) you have to pay for. Probably had it's day and the designers need to go away and rethink their branding.
