User Reviews for Smartify APP
Was told about this app when visiting the famous Bowes Museum in County Durham today and immediately downloaded it and tried it out. It’s brilliant. Worked perfectly (after It’s scanned you have to swipe down and left to get the info about that picture). I’m amazed at all the poor reviews but this seems mainly because of wrong expectations. It’s intended to work as an info guide for the paintings in that particular museum/gallery. It tells you loads about each painting, including pictures of other paintings by the same artist in that particular gallery. Suddenly going to an art gallery got really interesting for me! Please rate it for what it sets out to do, not what you’d thought it might do.

Tried this in the National Gallery in Edinburgh, worked ok, when it worked. Frequent freezes on scanning and gave no more information than on the caption next to the paintings. Would have been nice to have links to other information.
Absolutely useless. Downloaded it to try and identify a painting. Not only is the scan box set unchangeably as a square the pinch and zoom seems to have two preset distances only. And when I finally gave up getting it sized right and just hit scan after framing as best as I could, it just sat there for minutes. I tried multiple times. Then promptly uninstalled. Also requires you to give an email to access. Glad I gave my junk one.
If you love art, then you will love this app. An A-Z of information about individual artists, 1000’s of art images, video tours around some of the world’s most famous museums, and access to the online shop are amongst a few of the features available. The app has worked absolutely fine for me, with no glitches so from my personal experience, i would highly recommend.
This a method of assembling famous art artists that I find most helpful in trying to learn about art. So many works are depicted, and I am extremely impressed with the way it is arranged. Thank you.
Love it, excellent for looking up artists I know and discovering artists I don’t and finding artworks.

I like the general idea—but although my city has many art galleries, public installations, and other art-viewing opportunities, the only local location it mentioned was the city’s official art museum. frankly, I can get a lot more info just by Googling “local art” with Location Services on. 🤷♂️ (Also, why not call it simply “Artify”, so you needn’t go to such lengths to emphasize what its actual purpose is?)
so amazing stuff in a perfect way to show to you
Amazing project. I didn’t give you a 5-star just because there should be a way to scan it through images stored on your phone, too. When your app will come out with this resource, surely I’ll come back here and you will have gained the missing star from me plus lots of recommendations to lots of art enthusiasts I know and talk frequently.
What a splendid way to see art. Kudos to the developers
It’s a great way to take note of some great pieces of art you may want to learn about later…just point, scan and info comes up…a bit limited at times, but great nonetheless.
I recently changed my Echo Show wallpaper to fine art. The Echo’s range is extraordinary – it’s an almost 5-star experience – with one glaring exception: it doesn’t tell you who painted what you’re looking at. So the loveliest paintings flicking through my wallpaper rotation went undocumented until this wonderful thing happened: SMARTIFY! It doesn’t recognize everything, even some pieces that are quite old, but they’re building their database. In the meantime, when it works, it works a dream!
Wide database, hopefully it can expand further.
[g=yun] Our Alexa Oasis, we chose the Art background and after trying to find those paintings online, I found the Smartify app and use it to ID and find out more about these great paintings.
Great way to explore art and very user-friendly.
Good
I really like learning about art and it’s fun to learn new facts everyday!
Absolutely fantastic!
So I just downloaded this app to try to help me evaluate some art. and every time I scan it just stays stuck, it doesn’t do anything. Why is that..am I doing it wrong
After updating, all of my scans disappeared, but they were quickly restored (within 24 hours) after emailing the developer. My scans are now easier to find than before. I give four stars rather than 5 because I preferred the black app with white writing (the white background gets lost on my screen). But overall, it’s a nice improvement!
