DailyArt Reviews

by Anatwork

I love the idea of DailyArt and the presentation / visualization of the artworks however there are a few key problems

- None of the art presented is from outside the western canon. This probably represents DailyArt creators personal taste but to call an app “this app” and then restrict to only western art is a bit misleading. I got DailyArt to learn about different art traditions from India, China, Japan, the Middle East, Vietnam, etc. Instead we get repeated tired old Van Goghs which are already super famous, I already know a lot about and we can go see anyway.

- I hate the pop up asking for the paid subscription when you try to dismiss an ad and how intrusive it is. I find the art surfaced decent but a little banal and I’m not learning anything new and thus am not willing to pay for a service that doesn’t seem useful to me as of now. It would be good if the giant “X” to dismiss an ad actually did what it was meant to.

- There are some technical issues with latency and load times which DailyArt developers should look into it. Would recommend caching the image on local at time of app open so that clicking on the image does not require DailyArt to reload and introduce a wait time.

First of all I want to say that I love the idea behind DailyArt. Getting to learn about a different art piece each day is such a joy, and DailyArt does a great job of delivering that experience. But I’m sad to say that there is almost a complete disregard for works outside of the western canon. This month there was only ONE non western work, unless you count that painting Van Gogh copied from a Japanese woodcut (eyeroll). DailyArt has the great potential to be showcasing a rich variety of cultures and societies to a wide reaching modern audience, but alas, ignorance prevails. A similar problem lies in the daily descriptions, which are usually informative and straightforward, but sometimes offer pointless commentary. Are we really calling a painting of a woman’s bare chest ‘disturbing?’ I’ll continue using DailyArt because I love learning about a different artwork everyday, but please please please add works from other cultures. This is already a huge problem in the art history world, and DailyArt is just contributing to it!

DailyArt is great! You get a short readable blurb every day to learn about art pieces. They also provide “extra-curricular” readings at the end of every day’s blurb if you want more information and art for the day! In addition, there are information on art movements and artist biography.
However, as some have pointed out, there lacks diversity. Most of the art is Eurocentric with occasional scatterings of Japanese artwork. Very rarely do we get anything outside of that. The information and descriptions for non-European art is usually shorter too. It might be because staff have studied mostly European art and I’m very glad that the creator had the passion to make DailyArt in the first place to share art with everyone. But, there is so much cool and interesting art from other parts of the world that rarely ever get spotlight in art mentionings (outside of DailyArt). It’s just so much untapped potential I would love to see Daily Art tap into more! I do appreciate that they are offering more language options though!

I am being punished for recent complaint email. A recent picture, the information given for that picture said something about the artists racism. It really was not any thing to do with the art piece itself, which was a beautiful piece. So I sent them a note to tell them I was disappointed, and that they should leave politics out of this… Politics has nothing to do with enjoying and learning about art works. I have supported them with a paid full subscription. Now I can’t see the most recent offering of art, it just keeps spinning and won’t load any artwork…tried twice today, morning and evening. These people are about as immature as they come, I do not recommend them at all.
(If I’m able to access the art for my paid subscription within the next day or so, I’ll come back and edit this. Otherwise I request a refund. )

I absolutely love art and downloaded DailyArt to dive deeper into art. DailyArt does a wonderful job at telling you about the art work and the history behind the art piece to give it some context which is great! My only critique is that DailyArt itself lacks diversity in both the art work shown and artist featured . I had DailyArt for nearly a year and have not seen any artwork from any person of color being featured . The art being featured is predominantly Eurocentric which we all know is not the only type of art that exists out there. Showing artists and art types from every continent, would make DailyArt a 5 star art app.

DailyArt is great! I love being introduced to one new piece of art each day. Sometimes the description leads me to learn more about an artist or other works of art. It has been so fun. I don’t like the adds that pop up, and the free version of DailyArt will only save your favorites for a couple of weeks. :/ If you pay for Premium, you won't get the adds, and it will save your favorites for forever, I assume. I still use DailyArt as a way to get to know new art. I’ve started saving my favorites on the Google Arts and Culture app because that one will save my favorites indefinitely, I think!

This is a delicious, informative, and open e-magazine on the fine arts. Each day I cannot wait to see the art work for the day. Sophisticated, knowledgeable art historians who volunteer to educate the readership are selected to dive deeper about a specific artist with fascinating insight. So many times these extraordinary Daily Art
masterpieces have lifted me out from a deeply depressed state. This site has directly influenced me to take beginning drawing classes but most importantly, each day it rekindles a hope that through the arts humanity is granted another opportunity to renew and to redeem itself. Daily Art encompasses and includes art worldwide. I have seen the phenomenal efforts by its CEO to be not only inclusive with respect to art and artists globally but to reach out to people world wide such that translators from every non English speaking locations have been sought so that people the world over can freely benefit and have the same opportunity to enjoy Daily Art Magazine (online) as those who live in the West.

DailyArt is just so wonderful. I downloaded it a year or so ago in hopes of expanding my art knowledge and also just to enjoy all kinds of works, new and old. It has been nothing short of delightful! So informative too. I look forward to reading a succinct and intriguing summary of a great work each night at bedtime and I love the links if I’m interested in learning even more. Upgrade to pro, totally worth it for the extra content for just a few dollars. Love DailyArt and hope to travel and see some of these in person one day!

In a world full of shallow apps that promote useless content and addictive redundant games, I feel compelled to write this review and honestly say DailyArt is outstanding. It brings me back to my European roots that highly value art (present and past) and it makes it easy to look deeper into the artwork and artists. It is like having a personal
curator.
I live in Las Vegas, with no art museums in sight within 400 miles, where the container park is considered “art”: this saves my day.

by Wdav

A few minor problems (for me) getting started... however, it was just a learning curve of getting used to DailyArt .

DailyArt is great. I know almost nothing about art, but I do love the works that are in here! Also, I appreciate the editor’s comments about each piece and the I can get a full screen view of it. Each day there is one featured piece and that makes me start my day just a little more upbeat!

Thank you developer. Nicely done!! Well worth every penny.

The effort and love put into this free app is very evident. Zuzanna, the driving force behind it, is a passionate and skilled art curator who works very hard to curate and present beautiful works of art from all over the world and the stories behind each day’s selected painting. Tidbits about the artist are also included, making it ever so easy to educate you in art appreciation without you ever suspecting a thing ! It’s really a refreshing daily treat to see what Zuzanna has selected. Give it a try. You’ll love it if you enjoy classic paintings and other art from the world’s best talent. And please donate to their efforts to continually improve DailyArt and keep it free for all to enjoy ! Lets support those developers that bring us such great apps.

I am a designer and photographer. I studied painting as a young man. This application is a true delight while using my iPhone 13 Pro. It turns the phone into a rotating gallery of fine art. Every day I can switch my lock screen and home screen to a new piece of art. It’s as if I’m getting a new phone every day. Plus I get to enjoy the beauty of so much wonderful art. I highly recommend DailyArt to anyone who is appreciator of art. It elevates the aesthetics of your device in a very special way.

by EssmanBW

This is my most frequently-viewed App. I feel I am getting an education in art appreciation and art history of a very high quality. And I view my favorite masterpieces over and over again. These include paintings, illustrations and sculptures from all time periods. I never know which art works will move me and stimulate my aesthetic and narrative interest. I also show many masterpieces to my young grandkids, the ones with content and visual liveliness that might interest them.

by EliasNoe

I have too many good things to say about DailyArt. I love art, and DailyArt has fuelled that passion hugely. Every detail you could possibly want to know about a painting and where it is located is shown in a simple, beautifully designed interface. They have a great number of artworks and biographies.

I do hope they expand their collection even further, and even have dates/times of when museums have exhibitions or tours (even when they might be in my local area).

Overall though, I would recommend it to anyone :)

Actually paid the 4.99 to unlock all DailyArt 's features - best $5 spent on any app hands down! Incredible digitized copies of all the art available for saving to your camera roll with a wealth of info on artists / movements in art history / museums etc. Surprisingly some of the most famous works of some artists are not included in their "masterpiece" catalogue (one example being Birth of Venus / Primavera both missing if you look up Botticelli - even weirder since DailyArt also features Ufizi gallery's catalogue in its database. Regardless - the positive features of DailyArt more than make up for its small shortcomings. Favorite app I own!

by Archaeogirl98

I hardly ever give reviews, but I really love DailyArt. I have discovered so many beautiful artworks through it and it’s so easy and smooth to use. I really love being able to see where the artwork is located as well, as someone who enjoys going to museums and is interested in being a curator.

The only thing that would make it better is if there was a way to search or filter art by style and/or year created; for example, if I just wanted to see impressionist paintings or only wanted to see art from the 1700s. Still, it’s a great service and one I use daily!

by Gabchapchap

I highly recommend DailyArt and its many awesome functions and features -- even for non-premium users! I bought the $5 app on the apple store on my ipad pro, I use DailyArt on my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone as well with the same email account, and the fav and seen artwork are shared/synced between both devices and accounts. I'm giving DailyArt five stars on both stores because the CEO and founder responded to my feedback through DailyArt and was able to resolve any issue I had. I could go on and on about how I use DailyArt more often for reference, inspiration, or just to learn little bits of art history. 5/5

I’ve never written a review for any app or online purchase before, but it is a pleasure to publish this one, and it is something that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I’ve been trying to do more reading in art history lately, and in that attempt I found this, the lovely little square that would become my favorite app. It means so much to me the time that the curators of this app put to bring me a brilliant image (in astonishing resolution) and the grand story behind it. I've even really enjoyed sharing the art with my friends and family, because art is really, really important. Thank you, this app.

by Gypsyfay

I am a professor of art history and I encourage students to download DailyArt each term. I have found it to be relevant to the curriculum I teach and the Daily Art feature is always fun, and surprising. Frequently I open DailyArt and find the daily offering coincides with the material being taught that week. I don’t know what algorithm you use but my students have also noted that the featured artist is often one they are studying at the time.

Thank you for this wonderful resource. I would recommend it for high school and university students as well as their instructors.

by Mrsjmr

the past months have brought unbelievable turmoil around the world. For many the ability to view art in museums was severely curtailed. DailyArt allowed me not only to have a daily dose of wonderful paintings drawing,sculpture but to an armchair traveler. The links to different museums around the world has given me the opportunity to virtually visit many museums that I was not fully cognizant of. Thank you for bringing visual fresh air to those of of stymied by the Covid virus because of age or circumstances. I have recommended DailyArt to many many friends !!! Thank you for allowing us to see beyond our own windows !

by Sandlapper77

DailyArt’s developers love for art is evident not just in the quality of the art but in the quality of their”liner notes”. Their feeling for and appreciation of each artists oeuvre is evident. Sometimes the archive is a bit hard to navigate but it’s not that hard and besides, the art is so beautiful 😍. I recommend DailyArt highly to any and everyone who would like to get a little (beautiful) art (and love) in their lives.

by Kit21ty

In our lifetime, we will never have the chance to see all the art we'd like to. This is a great opportunity to bridge that gap. I especially enjoy the impressionists. The comments are often very penetrating and informative. I would enjoy seeing a bit more sculpture and non-Western art. Overall, I appreciate having DailyArt very much. We really need art to stimulate our senses and connect us with humanity.

by Cocoknows

Truly I have never written a review for an app but this is so good I was compelled! The quality of the photos of the art shared is so amazing it feels like you could be in the museum in front of each work. I encourage everyone to zoom to catch the life in the piece as it was painted. Each day shares a small art/history blurb to match the piece and I feel like I have learned so much art history without even trying! Lovely!

by Soft.ghoul

I’ve had this app on my phone for probably a year now and it’s one of my favorite apps ever made. Simple, easy to use, looks gorgeous, and you can tell the creators have worked with passion and love on DailyArt. I have nothing to complain about except that I fall out of the habit of using it. This year I’m going to set notifications and reminders to make sure I’m using DailyArt daily! Thanks for all the art!

by TevaSon

I enjoy receiving daily almost random art work from well known or very less so to no name at all artists from museums or other places that span the globe. Seeing compelling art daily is a salve for one’s soul. The narrative that accompanies the art is valued equally. I am not an ap addicted person but this Ap in an uninstrusive way is valued above most. I often share the art with my spouse and brings her a moment of joy as well.

by WorldWideWaldo

This is so far from the usual fare—productivity, music, news or health apps—it is a breath of fresh air! Daily paintings, which you can capture or use as screen savers, and with a description and history. And you can favour them, and thus go back to them later.

I rarely log in every day, but they’re there, after a week or a month. I go in to it when I’m hassled or frustrated, and it sets me right.

by EasyeyellaD

I’ve never written a review for an app. I came across this one while looking into new options. It’s layout is wonderful! It’s simple to use and understand. No crashes, no pop ups. I am very happy that I downloaded this. Awesome idea for Artwork and back stories along with the option to look up an artist and read information on them. 5 stars. Thanks so much for app, the design, and the simplicity!

by Tomasthegreen

Seriously such a fantastic app. From the design to the database to the ART! Sincerely Brown Cow Stunning. I love the variety of the pieces of art shared every day. I have my notification set for 5pm and it’s always such a breath of fresh air at that time of day. Deadass a great app and a great developer team. I sent in feedback through DailyArt a little while ago and within a week they got back to me with a lovely response that was very helpful. You betta WERK

by Kaspar222

As a non artist, I absolutely love your app. I wait impatiently each day for my daily dose of art. I have DailyArt on both my phone and Apple Watch and show the new art to everyone I see. I am a professor of Psychology, so I share with a lot of people. Each year, many of my freshmen download your app. Thank you again for giving a little (actually a lot) of joy into my life.
