Smartify is a free app that allows you to scan and identify artworks, access rich interpretation and build a personal art collection in some of the world’s best museums and galleries.
Gunseli Yalcinkaya, writing for Dezeen, calls it “a Shazam for the art world”.
This is cool. Can’t wait to try it out.

Dave Mark, writing for The Loop:
To me, the biggest issue with Apple Music is the depth of the user experience. For example, with For You, the on-boarding is primitive, at best. I never felt steered towards my deepest musical tastes. And as I listened to music, even as I diligently favorited my best loved tunes, I never felt that For You really got me.
As someone who came from Spotify to Apple Music I can say that Dave is right on. Apple Music is terrible at recommendations and even worse at surfacing music through Playlists. When you use Spotify for even a short period of time you realize the competition isn’t even close.
Apple has one advantage currently; integrated lock-in. You’re part of Apple’s ecosystem. But they really need to step up their game.
It is always a pleasure to be linked to from The Loop. Yesterday, one of my posts about Photos for OS X and what I think can be done to improve it, was linked to (at my behest) by Dave Mark.
My link is in good company there. Be sure to check out the other links too.
This, in turn, spurred a few other links flowing into that post. This morning I saw this link from Benny Ling on AppleTalk from Australia. I love the internet.
