### 5/5 — Be dry

*2020-10-17, version 2.0.4*

Gotta face it

### 3/5 — Erm

*2020-10-11, version 2.0.4*

This app is good but how is are you meant to use it for your background 🤨

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-05-08*

Perfect for people like me who want a minimal iPhone setup. Along with ample color customization, you also get beautiful preset colors.

Tốt

### 5/5 — Hey

*2019-12-03*

Thank you very much

### 1/5 — Double charging

*2019-10-11*

You buy it once and then you have to buy it again to use it. Lame.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2019-09-21*

This was advertised as one of the apple free apps of the day. You can’t even use it. You can only preview.

### 4/5 — Thank you iPhone...

*2019-06-12*

Bravo Apple! This app downloads quickly and smoothly to a world of beautiful color. 

The app choices are great! It eliminates the bright white glare and reduces the blue screen effects making everything easier to read as well as on the eyes. 

The option titles are creative and reflect the developers artistic side. Once you choose an option, you have the additional options to change color, hue, brightness, etc. to customize/personalize it to fit your needs.  

Thank you and Keep up the good work.

### 1/5 — Unnecessary permissions

*2019-06-12*

Why does this app require read access to your photos?

### 1/5 — Few version is a joke

*2019-06-11*

Don’t bother with the free version. Ads are obnoxious and you can’t use any of the features you wanted to try out. I don’t mind someone making a buck or two from their work but offering a free version that does nothing is the worst kind of scam.
