  • 2020 Best Wallpaper App Award

    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!)

    Thanks for the amazing review!! We really like your idea of adding the gradient, thanks 👍👍
  • Simplicity Wins

    The best wallpaper app I’ve ever downloaded. Simple and perfectly customizable. Just what I was looking for!
  • Needs variety

    High quality wallpapers, but not many to my personal tastes. Hopefully updates bring more styles.

  • Love the wallpaper

    I made a mistake, but I love the wallpapers! Keep up the good work. I hope there’s more to come. I did donate so hopefully that also helps.

  • Great app

    A very handy app to mix things up. I like simple dark backgrounds, and this app is perfect for generating those. Lots to choose from and everything can be adjusted.
  • Horrible😡

    First of all the wallpapers are so boring and generic and just lame, the app takes up too much space to be that horrible I don't recommend that you get it, trust me it's not worth it go check out some other apps not this one.
  • Wonderful minimalist wallpapers

    If you want wallpapers with designs that don't distract from what's on your screen but still look awesome, this is it.
  • Unusable

    UI disappears and there is no way to easily change, adjust or save your images. I like the idea behind this app, but the implementation is not there yet. I'd be happy to share my experience with the developer because I really want this to be an awesome app.
  • Inscrutable interaction design

    I can't figure out how this app works on macOS. (Maybe it's a Catalyst app that works fine on touch-devices - but all it shows me is a series of wallpaper images, with no controls to change/edit/save anything.) The wallpapers look great, but I can't figure out how the app itself works. I've tried clicking, dragging, typing, checking the menu-bar options... it's inscrutable!

    Hi there, as you can see - this was a quick Catalyst port, and didn't translate that well to macOS. Use 2 fingers to swipe between styles, and click to change colors. Click and swipe up to see more options. We have a new update coming soon with keyboard and menu support.
