Instantly deleted ### 1/5 — Said it was free today..GOTD *2018-10-23, version 2.0.4* But in order to use the features stated you have to pay to upgrade. The app does not say anything about in app purchases....what is that all about? ### 4/5 — Beautiful and Simple *2018-10-03* I would only hope that they would allow you to add calendars to an external background image you want to use. ### 1/5 — Remember this is a three dollar app *2018-09-11* And you immediately are forced to pay another two dollars to remove ads. I’m glad I got this for free today, this ongoing trend with iOS apps makes me not want to ever pay for an app ever again, because even when an app costs up to 9 dollars, they still try to force you into some subscription or in app purchase. ### 1/5 — Bad design *2018-08-04, version 2.0.4* There’s a white line at the bottom of the screen that stays there no matter which background you choose looks pretty bad ### 2/5 — ads *2018-07-21* RIDICULOUS amount of ads, makes it unusable. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Money grab for simple features. *2018-06-12* Forces you to pay $2 simply for having a calendar on your background. ### 1/5 — Have to spend $2 to be able to save image w/calendar *2017-09-29* Sure its free....for color only. If you like the idea of having a calendar, NOPE! Pay $2 please. Not cool. Say that up front! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Piece of crap *2019-03-08* Was supposed to be free today, but it’s not... No way am I paying for such a poorly designed app. ### 1/5 — Deleted *2019-03-08, version 2.0.4* Paid app with ads. Shame! ### 1/5 — No backgrounds yet *2019-02-15* Downloaded the app and tried several times to build a simple solid color background. In all cases, I gave up...can't get the times ads off the screen long enough to get one done. App deleted. ### 1/5 — No thanks *2019-01-25* With so many different ways to customize your home screen, the draw for this app is the calendar feature. Unfortunately, this app charges $2 for the use of the calendar. I make it a point never to pay for apps or in-app purchases unless they bring something necessary and/or useful to my daily life... this calendar feature is a minor convenience, I’ll pass. App deleted. ### 1/5 — Ads very intrusive *2019-01-24, version 2.0.4* Why this needs? I don’t know, i do know it stinks 😷 ### 1/5 — A Review? *2019-01-09* You really want people to give you an honest review after you attempt to gouge their wallets? Delete ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Be dry *2020-10-17, version 2.0.4* Gotta face it ### 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. ### 5/5 — Nhận xét *2020-04-11, version 2.0.4* Tốt ### 5/5 — Hey *2019-12-03* Thank you very much ### 5/5 — Is a good app. 👍 *2019-05-24* Is a good app simple but you can create you own color. 👍 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-03-27* Great app and features. If you can’t bother to pay for no ads, then quit one-starring the app for having ads. Y’all are petty. ### 5/5 — خیلی عالیه *2018-07-27, version 2.0.4* بینظیر و دوست داشتنیه ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2017-09-30, version 2.0.1* Could play with this for hours. I find it very therapeutic. Love it! ### 5/5 — good app *2017-09-28, version 2.0* good app ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
