  • Innovative

    Never seen anything like this that allows you to twitch style and colors! Please add more designs soon!!
  • Total garbage

    You will find better wallpaper doing a 10 second internet search. Little, to no, variety. Worst $2 spent in awhile. Shame on whomever is peddling this to us.

  • Cool Idea, Too Little User Control

    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.

    Hey there and thanks for the detailed review. We’ve got plans to address some of these points soon so keep checking back on us. We originally made the app to be a random discovery type of experience- but we are adding in ‘creation’ features over time. It’s tricky to find the right balance between these two methods and keep everyone happy - but we’ll give it our best shot 👍
  • It’s awesome

    Love the concept and wallpapers
  • Smart. Easy to use.

    And the free version is all I need!
  • Cool app

    I like it! It has a lot of the designs that you can’t find on other apps. Coming from someone who loves patterns and such. This is a winner!
  • Edit

    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

    Hi. The app was free for the first few months, then it has been 1.99 for 4 months now. Last week we changed to free again but with some styles in a Premium category which need a one time in app purchase. We are not trying to be greedy - there are still plenty of free styles, but we do have to earn a living and can’t make everything free forever 😅
  • So what is free?

    This was listed on Apps Gone Free as free but it cost 1.99 for the premium . If the free portion is the basic, it is as the saying goes, “you get what you pay for.”
  • Nice ambient wallpapers!

    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!
  • Ok

    It’s not bad. Wallpapers are pretty simple and don’t seem too endless...
