### 3/5 — OK

*2024-10-19, version 2.0*

"OK", but doesn't consider multiple displays.

### 1/5 — Interesting but….

*2024-08-26, version 2.0.1*

Sorry, I cannot find ANY customisation settings, just a refresh button which generates a random wallpaper!
I thought I may have to buy the full version but I can’t find a way to pay!

### 2/5 — came back to the app after a while and it has changed

*2024-04-03*

i swear 90% of the functionality is just gone. it just autogenerates for you now. i used to love to play around with gradients and really fine tuning the mesh. disappointing

### 1/5 — Big mistake

*2023-06-06*

The purpose of the app is to make my own unique wallpaper you should at least give us a choice wither we want it randomly or doing it on your own I hope you bring back the old experience and thank you.

### 3/5 — Please bring back the 3D

*2023-05-31*

The 3D generator was limited, but I loved it.  I couldn’t care less about the gradients.

If 3D comes back, I’ll give it 5 stars, but now the fun is gone.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2023-05-30*

This is a great app for making mesh gradient wallpapers, I'm not aware of anything coming close to the ease of use and versatility of Acrylic. The new functionality of animated/video wallpapers is a welcome surprise, but my favorite part about this app remains being able to export high quality 8K mesh gradient images.

### 3/5 — It’s fine

*2023-05-29*

I loved making my own meshes but all of my saved meshes aren’t usable in this app anymore. I used it to make album art for Apple Music playlists. It’s now just a random wallpaper generator now which is fine if you didn’t use the app for what it was before.

### 1/5 — Fix your app

*2022-11-02*

I used to love Acrylic, but it no longer works on Mac.

### 5/5 — Sweet app

*2022-05-16*

Sitting here with the creator at a kava bar. Cool dude and great developer

### 4/5 — Good concept

*2022-05-15, version 1.0.3*

This is a really interesting concept and is clearly quite a well built app (smooth, fast etc). 

I think it has a lot of potential and as someone who only uses gradient wallpapers for my Home Screen I was excited to use it. However when you save the image it’s a little grainy. If you look at UI gradients (website) the gradients are very smooth whereas this app when downloaded has lots of little lines. Not sure if there is a way to have sharper/smoother downloaded images.
