The fact that he hasn't had a nap is showing. He's done with #birthday for today. Happiest birthday to my favorite boy in the whole wide world. My heart isn't big enough. I hope one day you'll know all the people who love you. #FiveisLive

Have you met FIVE?

#FIVEisLIVE.

That's right, v5.0 is here and it's something akin to the sweet nectar of the app gods. So it's safe to say if you're looking for original art, you've found the right place to begin your search. Whatever you need to help you be original, we've got you covered from the moment you open the app. Our new, sleek layout is even more beautiful that its last look, yet it still maintains its core features, like its visualization technology and recommendation algorithm, which has made it one of the most exciting ways to buy art today. For those of you who have been with us for some time now, you may not even recognize us (in a good/great way), and for the newbies...your world is about to get rocked.

Let us explain...

We've channeled our friends over at Spotify and Beats (thanks, Dr. Dre) and now enable you to find art in an unconventional, accessible, and well why don't we just say it, badass ways. Money conscious? Search by price. Decorating your kitchen? Find art by room. Want to capture a certain 'vibe'? Check out our thematic 'Art by Mood' collections. This version is changing the game so that searching for art is less of a process and more of a pleasure. 

“We are constantly exploring ways to bring art to those unfamiliar with the art world, and the meaning of genre, medium, and movement. We wanted to give users more ways to discover art that they could relate to,” says CEO Ethan Appleby. 

What to expect...

You'll dive into the fresh, bold, easy-navigation home screen. You can keep track of your favorite artists better than ever with our 'instagram-esque' newsfeed and iOS 8 interactive notifications, which let you know when they upload new work while also letting you share and favorite right from the notification. And now, artwork that is 'Trending' and 'New' are highlighted with bright badge identifiers.

Plus, we showed the iPad extra love this time 'round...and let's just say, the love paid off.  In addition to all of the awesomeness above, we've done away with the bulky info bar and added the ability to swipe and browse in detail view (FINALLY!), navigate to artist portfolios with one tap, and share to friends, family, and roommates from one easy-to-use screen.

We'll leave the rest for you to discover -- and trust us, there's more tucked into this beautiful build. So be sure to update to v5.0 today.

The time is now. Rip down your posters and hoist the scraps skyward as you tilt your head toward the light and celebrate the fact that being original and having real art on your wall, does in fact come easy.
