Android forum: How to detect author of an app

No - this is a serious sort of 'art history buff' app, and if you could advise me as to how I can get into the 'menu about' feature it might solve my problem. I have tried the (bottom left 'menu' button on the Samsung) without success, also tried ES file manager, and tried (imo) everything within the app, but I cannot detect the author or anything. I agree with you that this could well be an 'author' problem - but it simply isn't possible that this is deliberate, much more likely it is simply lack of understanding by the app developer.

I'm peed off because searching for Art (even art history, paintings, seventeenth century etc etc) on the phone, or on marketandroid, there is sooo much cr@p, and you cannot refine the search, and had I coimprehended how miuch memory the phone had I'd have confidently loaded all four volumes from scratch! GRRR

But you covered the usual methods. I know that my apps always have the about page. Too painful to hear/read when the author does not bother.

I do understand what you're saying - and only too frequently the author is seriously too up-front pushing his other wares! Unfortunately the author of this one is hiding his light under the proverbial bushel.

But I'd just like to download the 'other centuries' of this (to me) useful app - so if anybody else is using it (the name is ART Vol *) and its welcome screen looks like a bookcase, and could direct me (even only with search terms whch may work) so I could locate it I'd be very grateful.

You told a little more in this reply but if you want forum members to go looking for you, you would reveal more. Such as the CENTURIES CLUE and the ARV Vol * should be completely typed out.

By keeping all the small clues to yourself, I'm more hampered than you.

Okay - the app which I have reveals itself only as "ART Vol1" (ART is in caps, and Vol is written as Vol, no space beween Vol and 1). Vol 1 covers sixteenth century painters, and I recall there were another three or four volumes covering C17th etc.
The painters covered in Vol 1 include Titian, Caravaggio, the Bellinis, Cranach the elder and many more. It is quite comprehensive., and very esy to use - you get a page of biography and about a dozen paintings per author which can be brought up full screen.
It is Version 1.4, and is 162MB in size.
It includers many references to other sources - always including Wikimedia commons.

I have finally tracked this down - it came from Samsung apps rather than android market, and it is by ADS Software Group Inc. I still can't find it on the phone, so it'll need downloading onto the PC and then fiddling about with the absurdly tiny microSD card - but anyway, (thanks to Google) I have finally got to it.

Those extra clues could have helped but thank you for not taking out your frustration on members. I'm pretty good on searches but this one was a stretch with so few clues. Even knowing it was on a Samsung device could help.
