Contact Artfol Support

I really wanted to like ArtFol, but I just never find myself wanting to use it. Without an algorithm I feel like my art reaches even fewer people, because the only people who ever see it are the ones actively scrolling the new posts the second I post anything (which is very brief, uploads quickly leave the new posts page). Which I know their argument is I have to engage with others to see engagement on my own stuff, but the next problem makes engaging with others a pain. The load times for everything on the app is extremely slow. It takes forever for pages to load and makes using the app a pain. I’ll often find myself scrolling on similar apps, such as Instagram, but given how long it takes everything to load on ArtFol I never find myself interested enough to stay on the app.

That being said, I really love the gallery not being limited to set size images. Being able to upload images in their original shape and the app auto sizing everything to make your gallery appealing is amazing. I also really appreciate the efforts they make to ensure the picture quality isn’t downgraded.

All things considered, this app is mediocre. It struggles to do the one thing it promised to (encourage better engagement for artists) and it has loading times that make using it a nuisance. It may still have good features, but not enough to warrant a better review. It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either.

I thought this app would be an even field for all artists but then you have the trending page which is the default segment in the explore section and in the last few days I’ve seen the same 10 artists on this section, how is this any different from Instagram pushing the popular accounts over others? Instagram easily puts the same account multiple times even after I scroll just once and I thought Artfol would be different but it isn’t. Another thing is that since it’s mainly artists right now, it’s just not easy to get the exposure to those people that are not artists so a true following cannot be created. I’ll stay and see how it develops, I am aware this is created by 2 people so the lag issues or any other technical problems don’t really bother me for now. I would like to think that people can be more understanding when it comes to that stuff otherwise go make your own app and see how you like being harassed by others because 24 hours in a day aren’t enough to fix everything. Anyway I’m still hopeful for this one.

Hi! I’ve been using your app for a little while now, a week or two at least, and I think it’s a great app! I do have some suggestions however that I think could improve the app experience for users! When I first joined I was a bit surprised of the 1 minute wait time you have to go through while posting. I understand it’s to prevent spam but maybe the time could be shorter or removed completely? There’s also no option to post videos or multiple pictures on 1 post. The next suggestion is just a personal preference, but maybe a dark mode for the app? I use this app a lot at night and the bright white screen is a bit much, but it’s not a super big problem. Other than that this app is really great! I can see it growing into a big platform someday and I’m glad to be a part of the community! Thanks for reading!
