Frequently Asked Questions

Subscriptions

Can I purchase on a monthly basis?

Yes, iArtView supports annual or monthly subscriptions. Annual subscriptions are the most economical way to subscribe because they give a significant saving off the month to month price.   

A monthly subscription means you can cancel at any time and you are not committed to the whole year. To purchase a monthly subscription for any of our plans select the ‘month’ option.

How do I cancel?

You can manage your subscription from the Account -> Subscription -> Manage Subscription screen inside iArtView. Or you can use the Settings app on your Apple device. From the Apple ID Screen -> Subscriptions -> iArtView. Subscriptions auto-renew unless you manually cancel them. 

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. You can cancel at any time. If you downgrade your plan, or move to a free subscription, you will be able to access the functions of your cancelled subscription level until the date that would have been your renewal date. Apple does not give refunds if you downgrade your plan part way through a subscription period. 

 

I am an iOS user and want to upgrade from Basic to Plus. Does the app charge the full amount of a Plus subscription and give me credit for the Basic subscription I already paid for?

If you upgrade your subscription to a higher plan midway through your current subscription period you will immediately receive access to the upgraded plan. You will be charged immediately for the new plan, but will receive a refund from Apple for the unused portion of your current (lower level) subscription. For example, if your subscription renewal date for your Basic Plan is the 1st of every month, and you upgrade to a Plus Subscription on the 15th of the month, you will be charged for your Plus Subscription on the 15th, and this will become your new renewal date.

Your Basic subscription will be superseded by the Plus subscription and you will receive a refund from Apple for the unused portion of your Basic Subscription. Please note that Apple calculates and controls the period of time they refund, and it may take several days for them to process your refund.

in the Collection screen Hold your finger on an individual artwork image to drag and drop the order of your artworks within your Collection. This allows you to curate the order artworks appear in. 

You can also drag and drop the order of artworks in the Artworks screen. The Artworks screen displays all the artworks you have uploaded to iArtView.

 

How do I share my artworks or collections?

Look for the share icon in the app. You can share from wherever this icon appears.pastedGraphic.png

  • Share an individual artwork or a collection - this shares a link that opens iArtView and takes the recipient to the artwork or collection inside iArtView.
  • Share artworks placed on interior walls - this sends the image of the artwork on the interior wall

Clicking the share icon in iArtView opens the iOS share menu so you can access sharing apps like:  

  • Facebook Messenger
  • Text
  • Airdrop
  • Email
  • Save to camera roll

Customise your message for your recipient so they know how to get in touch with you. 

 

How can I share to Instagram? 

Instagram doesn’t currently allow apps to share directly to it from the iOS share menu. (Instagram will appear as one of the options in the share menu but the share button won’t work). To post to Instagram, either screengrab art on an interior or using the share button you can save the image to your camera roll and post how you normally would. 

 

How many users can I share my collection with?

IArtView is available globally and the app is free to download. You can share your Gallery, Collections or individual artworks with anyone so they can view it in the app. If a customer already has iArtView downloaded, links will automatically open the app to the Gallery, Collection or Artwork you have shared. If they don’t already have the app, the link will open iArtView’s listing in the App Store so they can download the app and get started. 

 

Can a prospective customer send me a photo of their wall and I place my artwork on that wall?

Yes. Or the customer can download iArtView from the App Store, search for your Gallery, Collection or Artwork in the Discover tab and then choose ‘View on Wall’ to place the artwork on their own interior wall. You must be a paid subscriber to have your art appear in the Discover tab.
