The Wallpaper App: Live Screen Hack 2.6 + Redeem Codes

Ive updated my review from 1 star to 4 stars, now that I’ve figured out where to find my saved wallpapers. Because it is not a free app, I still think that it should have more choices and ways to modify the ones they offer. Original review: I purchased the app, but am unable to figure out how to make it work with IOS 16. I downloaded the wallpaper but can’t find it when I search for it. No support for my dilemma. This might be better for other phones, but not mine.

After testing and evaluating several highly-rated wallpaper apps, I’m awarding The Wallpaper App “Best Wallpaper App”. It’s fantastic! The generative algorithms used to create unique yet customizable wallpapers over and over again is great. It is so easy to produce a wide variety of subtle, non-distracting backgrounds for your home and lock screen—without scrolling through all sorts of garbage images (that should never be used as wallpapers) that are present in so many other wallpaper apps! My only suggestion would be an option to always add a subtle black gradient to the top of each image to help hide the notch (when exporting for “this device”), or a black OR white gradient at the top to make the menu bar more readable in Big Sur (when exporting desktop-class images, which, yes, this app also lets you do!)

My biggest complaint is that I cannot create my own color pallet. Aside from that the controls are janky and often don’t work as expected. The swipe controls are difficult to get used to and they are far from intuitive. Even though there’s a short tutorial on the controls, I struggled with using the app for the first few times I used it. And it isn’t made clear that you can save high-res still images at any point of the tutorial. Also the Live Photo button on the top left looks like it’s a toggle to stop the image from being saved as a Live Photo, and it most certainly is not. I’m glad this app exists, but it needs improvement. But please, above all else, just let us at least choose our own color pallets.

But this wallpaper app was so handy and suited me so well I had to come out to the App Store and buy it. Well done! Sometimes I just want a wallpaper. I don’t want to wade through choices and spyware just to have different colors blaring at my face for days on end. This is the wallpaper app I never knew I needed. The amount of wallpapers I’m getting for only $2 is insane. I would’ve happily given $5 or so for this.

Beautiful app which creates random-patterned and colored backgrounds and wallpapers just by tapping. Love the 3D look of many of them--they really "pop" in HD! You can have detailed patterns or simple background gradients--whatever you choose. Highly recommend it!

Pros:
- simplicity of tapping and swiping to see different versions or different designs
- results more often than not look pretty good
- pre-determined palettes are a good idea
- blur slider is a nice option

Cons:
- WAY too many color palettes, dumped in an unorganized list
- inability to add or remove color palettes (as if anyone could filter through the millions)
- inability to choose individual colors
- inability to use fewer than four colors (the app seems to add one back semi-randomly if you remove one)
- inability to choose a specific variation of style, random only
- inability to choose colors for specific layers/assert, random only
- linear navigation with no looping

If I could summarize my disappointment it’s that I was expecting a more robust wallpaper creation tool whereas the app feels something closer to a wallpaper aggregator that allows randomizing of the colors.

Love the idea, app is very useful for its purposes. The only bug I've noticed is that customized palettes don't to save correctly, interface is intuitive but needs a little more clarity.

Beyond those suggestions is just adding some more templates/backgrounds and you'll have built a 5 star application, great work.

The customization options are great, and the current wallpaper selection is a decent start. That said, the options do feel a bit limited. I would like to see more designs, and look toward to seeing what additions will come in future updates.

Though not perfect, I don’t feel like I wasted my money.

Very limited User Interface, limited selection to wallpapers. and the app is just very 2009ish era. In otherwords, just download telegram and subscribe to a wallpaper group, or just go on gumroad. This app needs MAJOR improvements and is not justified for the price tag. Wouldnt even pay a dollar for this rubbish.
TLDR: Not Worth it, Use Telegram, or Gumroad for wallpapers. Spend your hard earned money on something thats actually promising.

I used to love this app. But i just found out today that they are going free! Yay! Except that they were already free. I got this app when it was 0 dollars before this premium update. I don't understand if you'e trying to trick users. Whatever it is, it is sad. Another Great developer turned, money hungry.

Edit: oh well
