If for some reasons QuintessArt crashes while viewing a painting,you can go back to this painting with "recents" button in main activity.
You can also retrieve recently visited galleries in gallery tab, menu/gallery/previous galleries.





If a custom message invites you to "download/reload/quit" due to initialization problem,you can ignore/escape this message:mostly QuintessArt will complete the unfinished tasks itself :-)

Main error that occurs in QuintessArt is "out of memory error".it is due to an optimization difficulty when managing heavy images in Android.we're working on it :-)
