Google has today released a new app called "Arts & Culture," but it's pretty much the most disappointing app to come from the Mountain View company in quite some time. Actually, I don't really know why it exists. If you don't want to download this app from Google Play, you can simply head over to the Google Cultural Institute website on your Android phone and add a shortcut to your home screen...
Literally, that's all that this app is. As you can see on the Play Store listing, the new app is just 52KB. Once you open the app and navigate around, you quickly find out that it's not a native app — the hamburger menu, for instance, is a laggy mess. Moving around the content found within the app (which is exactly the same content you can find at the Cultural Institute website) is not really enjoyable at all.
Ranting aside, you can grab the app for free on the Play Store.
