Wonderful & Simple App This simple widget shows you pictures of famous works of art. What more can you say? If you appreciate awesome paints or simply want to be exposed to more art and artists then this is for you. Clicking on the image takes you to Wikipedia where you can find much more information. Only thing that stopped me giving these 5 stars is that some of the art is a photograph of a statue - which personally I'm not keen on, I'd rather be was exclusively paintings.

The best app for killing time! I love this app and spend hours just refreshing new pieces of art! It's well-designed, and you can click on the artists name and/or the pieces names to bring up the corresponding Wikipedia page. It's that feature that makes it 100x cooler than just a basic art widget. Like I said I've probably spent over 50 hours just enjoying this app! It's addictive and educational! It's soooo cool. You'll feel nowhere near as bad about wasting that 30 minutes on your phone! Believe me! Know how FB leaves you feeling empty, useless and like a P.O.S. for wasting all that time on it? Imagine the exact opposite, and you have art widget :) I still give it 4 stars because: 1) there should be backward and forward navigation keys for when within Wikipedia pages... for example let's say I'm reading Caravaggio's biography but am interested in a link on the page to another Wikipedia article (i.e. an article on Venice or the Renaissance) well I can't go directly back to the Caravaggio article all I can do is close Wikipedia all together and click on the artists name again to reopen the Wikipedia page... slightly annoying but in no way a dealbreaker. Still love the app but would like to see that backward/forward browsing feature implemented!!! Would make the app even better! 2) the ads. I get it though, you gotta make money too bro :) Honestly, other than that, it's flawless and that's so impressive in itself! DOWNLOAD THIS WIDGET. YOU WILL USE IT, CONSTANTLY (!), AND ENJOY IT IMMENSELY!
★★☆☆☆
It is quite clunky in its navigation features.
★★☆☆☆
Darragh! Navigation is a pain, you have to refresh to get to the next picture. The arrow button at the top doesn't work. You can't see all the art at a glance. Other apps do a better job with no banner ads constantly spoiling your enjoyment. It downloaded at 1.60mb, but it's already 6mb, and I've only looked at two paintings with no save to sd card.Uninstalling.:@
