Artora: Art Scan & Identifier

This is a good app and the idea is great but there should be a way to modify the scan by adding details like painting size, originality, details about texture etc.. I wish that could be added as that would give a more accurate value.

This app is a joke. We have real, genuine, original artwork in our home and this app can’t tell you who the artist is, what the title is, the medium or anything of value. I took a picture of a 1 of 1 Original Oil Paint on Canvas piece we have. This app valued it at $85. Called it “a girl in blue” no artist. This piece has an appraised value of over $7,000. Not $85. I truly feel bad for anyone using this app, taking pics of REAL original art and being told it’s worth $85 when it could be worth 1000x more than that. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME with this App. If you have artwork and do not know if it is real or not, or if it is worth anything… DO NOT GO BY WHAT THIS APP SAYS. Do not use an app. Find a REAL appraiser to look at your work. Pay the money it takes to evaluate it by a human not an AI device.

It gets a lot of details wrong either in subject matter/identification or in painting type assessment. It misidentified objects in scenes and sometimes missed important subjects altogether. Two paintings I have that are authenticated 19th century paintings (but not by famous artists) were identified as replicas - one has been in the family since its creation. But still fun to use and see what it thinks, not useful in any practical sense though. Maybe it’ll get there in future versions. Fun idea!
