Art Authority for Mac - パソコン用

SUpposed to be a fingertip sample of general masters or important works instead a disperportinate tacky nude display. Overwhelming really. GReat works were left out of the colletion ffor the sake of some boobs what a bunch of boobs. REFUND PLEASE

it's too slow, it takes too long to download the images.

I enjoyed the iPad version. Normally, you would expect the desktop version to hve more bells and whistles, but this app is aweful. I can't belive the same company made this. I may ask Apple for a refund. I'm very disappointed.

As slick as the 'Welcome Panels' were, it took several false starts until I figured out how to see the artwork. I was very anxious, so perhaps a little impatient, but the UI seems like it's missing something -- like maybe an In-App portfolio from which to choose the Art rather than falling back on the basic folder structure of the Mac. My TrackPad was also of no use, as the controls within the software just ignored it. Thank you for making the Art available for our desktop monitor. The iPad is great, but not as good as a larger screen. (Older eyes need larger views) I look forward to any improvements you decide to make! Maybe someday you'll enable us to send the images from our Mac to the AppleTV for a proper Show!

I rarely give bad reviews but I had to here. First, great idea. Our great art doesn't get nearly enough pupils on it so, bravo for even taking this idea on. But, I gotta say, the app needs the touch of an experienced developer. Seems as though the app may have been a 'first real app' kinda deal for the developer? By way of constructive criticism, here are the three things that need attention: 1. Overall lack of UI polish. 2. Unclear 'first run' experience. e.g., wasn't clear to me that I needed to open a file to get artists work to display (maybe I'm an idiot though) 3. Selecting all artists and then opening them opens as many windows as artists selected -- not intuitive and had to force quit. So, I'm done fussing, and am now going focus on the great art this app re-packages for us. Thanks for trying!

I generally do not review applications online, but this disaster for the Mac inflamed me to action. I have not seen this aplication on an iPad, but here the interface is a disaster. Navigation is by scrolling through a long list of names or subgroups. There is no search by artist, name of painting, period, or any other attribute that might be connected to a painting or sculpture. The collection of Rodin is pathetic. Sculptures with only a single view and so few are there. There were many other artists with poor representation in their collections. When in a painting, there is no reference to enlarged views. This application is fine for someone who wants a shabby resolution collection of art viewable with click links to a Wiki online for further information about the work. Selected works seem based not by most significant, but what they could easily get their hands on. My recommendations: provide better interface. Enable search by work name, artist, and key words. Make option to see what close up views available. For sculptures provide reference view for what other views are available. Provide links to google museum when sculpture has a live view available. Have option for better screen resolution so that can enjoy at larger screen sizes. Remember, not all have tiny screen macs and the new Apple Television if at large screen size will make a mess of small resolution images. Yet this should be an option so that those with less needs do not need to wait time for download. Do a better job of selecting works to better represent the artists. Provide a list of how many of each artist's works are in the collection before purchase so that those with special passions will not be as dissapointed as myself. Would love to get my money back! Do not waste yours unless they fix this mess.

I got really excited about having an app that was a concise compilation of, apparently, everything; it's always nice to be able to pull up a quick reference, which is one redeeming aspect of this app. I'm dissappointed, however, because the images are downloaded directly into your computer -- as in files -- which takes up a substantial amount of space, and the "information" that this app claims to provide on works and artists it actually a direct link to Wikipedia. That's the "in-depth information" the descriptions claims to provide. So, in summation, I paid $5 on links to a website I can access for free, and for a whole lot of space on my computer to be wasted. Some pictures are also terrible quality (I know they say that it's a copyright issue, but it's frustrating because the app is not free). The only postive aspect to this app is it's organization of works based on period and / or artist…but if you know anything about art, you can do that yourself. Not worth the price, however discounted; I would spend that money on a trip to a museum instead.
