WikiArt

WikiArt is the kind of app people reach for when they want an art reference library in their pocket. By our assessment, its best feature is the plain breadth of the collection: it is built around browsing artists, works, and movements without needing a museum guidebook. The downside is that it is still a browsing tool, so the experience depends on search, captions, and your own curiosity rather than on a strong lesson plan. In practice it feels like moving through an art catalogue with a lot of room to wander, which is useful in a different way from a course. Compared with a museum visit, it gives access and range rather than atmosphere, and that is exactly its job. The name is simple, and the app is simplest when it stays close to the works themselves.
