As a Jersey City native, I have watched the art scene blossom over the years. This app does an amazing job presenting the beautiful murals that are sprouting all over the city. I appreciate that all of the murals are locatable in the app's built-in map. If there is a mural that you really like, you can save the mural as a favorite within the app. I think the interface is modern and allows for easy navigation. Each mural featured in the app provides clear details on the artist and a description of the art piece. If you are interested, you can always view the artist's website to view more of their artwork. I love the fact that the app showcases murals from all parts of this big diverse city. So far I have visited 72% of the murals in Jersey City.. Yes, the app allows you to track the murals that you have visited. This app should be a must have for all "Chilltown" residents that love art. I hope this app is created for the cities that I visit often such as Boston and Chicago.
There are hundreds of murals murals not on the app, how can we add them without sending a message? Or at least mark that there is a location for the app to double check. While in San Francisco, I noticed that very few of the murals in the mission district are present on the app. It’s a shame to not be able to add them in or suggest that they be added in while at that location. Also, I tried to “send feedback” and it says that the name field is blank. Problem? There is no name field to fill in. Lol
This is app is the absolute best way of highlighting and experiencing street art. I have always enjoyed murals but sometimes I would miss their exact location or wish to know more about the art and the artist. With CANVS I can take my exploration to the next level. Its like you cannot finish finding art. I love being able to find my favorite murals and favoriting ones to go check out at a later time. The creators of this application are geniuses! Thank you!
As someone who is new to street art, I find this app helpful in giving me the ability to explore my neighborhood through art especially during quarantine. It’s a great activity to go around a hunt for murals while learning more about the artists and the meaning of the piece. I would recommend this app to anyone who is artistic and would like to have fun looking at different street art pieces. I’m excited to see more cool features in the future.😊
As someone who works in digital advertising, this design and UX of this app is everything that we recommend to our clients as best practice. It's easy to use, has unique but straightforward features, and looks great! The team also is able to stay pretty up to date with new murals as they pop up and replace older ones. I look forward to watching this app grow and evolve over years to come!
I joined the Canvs community at an event and I'm so glad to be apart of such a culturally rich and creative network. I love the passion and exposure the Canvs team offers to local artists. It's these opportunities that glue a community together. The app is so interactive and I love the detailed section in each artist. It's not just an app it's a movement and a creative sounding board that connects us as a community.
User friendly and interactive app that allows a community to learn about the surrounding murals and their artists. This app is unique and easy to navigate murals near and far. It provides the user the ability to learn more about the beautiful art displayed all around the neighborhood. So happy I downloaded this app!
Coming from the artists' perspective, this app has been an amazing tool for audiences, perspective clients, fans to be able to find my work. People ask me all the time "where can I find all your murals?" And I always direct them to this app. Thank you for creating another tool that works WITH the art and the artists!
But I have to give one to this app. It's so uncluttered in design, yet gives you everything you need in the menu: bookmarks, seen, favorites, and about. There's no free app out there that has such a unique collection, descriptive info on each piece, and continual additions. Makes you proud to be a bridge n' tunneler.
If you like Street Art / Murals then I would highly recommend this app. It not only tells you off the location of the great works of art but it also inform you about the Mural and the artist that created it ,
A convenient way to keep up with my favorite hobby!
I love hunting street art and CANVS makes it a whole lot easier for me to go running around New York and Jersey City! It’s been great discovering some of the hidden gems in places I thought I knew like the back of my hand!
I love tapping all over the map and seeing the photos of the art. I also enjoy going to the artists instagram accounts and following them. So many pretty murals to see.
This app is super fun and innovative for anyone interested in seeing the latest and greatest in street art. The design is easy-to-use, even for a non-techie like me. I like that you can go into "hunt mode" to be notified when you're near a new mural.
5 Stars. It's easy to take local Art for granted. CANVS preserves, and stimulates the collective memory for street art. It's a delight to open the app, and see the treasure map expand. I follow the CANVS Instagram feed also. Great art, great app. Keep up the great work guys!
As a huge street art fan, I'm in love with this app! It makes it so much fun to find art and much easier than the old school way of wandering for hours. Beautiful photos, I like how you can also bookmark your favorite murals.
What Google glasses were trying to get to .. CANVS is one of those ‘what if’ solutions you think could only be possible in the minds of dreamers’ - they’ve brought the global artists’ dreams to reality, likely starting with a mural near you ..!
CANVS is an incredible interactive resource for anyone in the arts community, sightseers and travelers, and people who generally like to know where beautiful things are around them.
As an artist whose work is featured on the app I am very appreciative of the platform CANVS provides for exposure to a wider audience. Its friendly navigation and sleek design ensure a great experience for all who use it.
An ingenious app for street art enthusiasts and novices alike. The CANVS app is well thought out and very useful. It helps find some amazing street art and in-depth artist info!
I love the CANVS app ! When you enjoy and the wonderful colors . It is awesome to have an app that caters to those needs . I would recommend to anybody .
It was so awesome seeing some of the amazing murals I've run into walking around the neighborhood. Now that I can see exactly where the ones I haven't been lucky enough to run into I can actively seek them out. It's almost like a game where the end prize is being exposed to some beautiful art.
The app works very well. Build quality and stability is pretty solid, especially on my old iPhone 5. Great concept captured. Helps raise awareness on all of the great work that artists have been doing over the years in Jersey City. Wishing the CANVS team success as they continue to grow.
I like how this app organizes all the art murals of Jersey city and makes it easy to find and get information on each piece. I look forward to this covering other cities as well! Great job.
Awesome app, street art lover's dream! Being a Jersey City native, the app allows me to explore my hometown in such a unique way. The app is fun and easy to use, two thumbs up!
