1. 5/5Know your investment strategy

   There are complaints and negative reviews I read about the illiquid nature of these holdings as well as the high fees involved. That is absolutely correct but no secret. This is not like public company stock investing. It’s much more akin to private venture investing - a long term hold with no control of the exit timeline. You have to go in with the right mindset and perspective. If that’s part of your investment strategy, then data shows that this asset class has historically performed quite well and is less correlated to general macro economic swings than most other asset classes. So it’s a pretty solid complement to a diversified portfolio.

2. 1/5Investors beware

   In what world does it make sense for an investment app to proactively remove your Portfolio screen from the app. They seem to be actively hiding the fact that the value of the investments are rarely getting appraised and when it does, the assets are all falling in value and they rarely ever sell paintings anymore. So you are stuck with a assets that they do not spend ANY effort providing updates on or future plans for, and now they even hide the dwindling value (it can only be found on web) and focus on stupid art quizzes and hyping up new assets that they’ll never speak about again once it’s its reached 100% inventment. BEFORE YOU INVEST, beware that you’ll never hear about your assets again - they’re 100% focused on getting more people to invest, not on managing or taking responsibility for the invested portfolio. I’m tempered to use the word scam but i think it’s just non-app people in leadership of a consumer app and they have no understanding of the core needs of their users.

3. 5/5Invested in Banksy!!!

   5 stars from me l've invested in Banksy!!! Choosing to invest in a Banksy artwork through Masterworks has been an amazing experience. I've followed Banksy's iconic work for years and respect them greatly so being able to own a stake in this creators world is a dream come true, as well as being potentially lucrative. Masterworks' have really gone above and beyond with their curation of Banksy's work and their expertise in navigating the art market instilled confidence in my investment. The masterworks team provided comprehensive insights into the artwork's historical performance and market trends, adding a whole other level to my appreciation for Banksy.

4. 5/5Great method of investing

   Masterworks has reall made difference to my investment approach. Fractional ownership in prestigious artworks was something I wanted to do for a longtime but I had no idea where to start but this app has made it easy. The collection,s they have and the insights offered make the app pretty seamless. It's a great way to get started in this space or further diversify a portfolio. I really appreciate their mission to democratize art ownership too. Super happy with the app in general if I’m honest, a nice easy way to pursue a passion from my phone

5. 1/5$500 minimum investment

   For those of us living paycheck to paycheck this app does not give us the option of investing at anything lower than $500 per purchase. This is not for the working class. They make it seem as if it is. However, they're catering to a different group. Don't waste your time setting it up unless you have an extra $500 do you want to gamble on something that you probably don't know much about. Also, no search feature?? it does not give you the option to search for an specific artist or a specific painting. You simply have to scroll until you see something that you might recognize. For the amount of money they're expecting you to throw into this app they don't offer a comprehensive set of features. I DO NOT recommend this app.
