### 5/5 — Old app but dang, it's so mesmerizing!

*2026-07-22, version 1.1.9*

This seems to create images based on simple geometry and image color overlay modifications. That's fine with me and actually that's what I make anyway for my wallpaper using a few other apps. But this makes it easy, it's just one app. 

But dev, plz update thx

### 1/5 — Why?

*2022-06-19, version 1.1.9*

I really don’t understand the purpose of this app. Yes, occasionally you may accidentally get something pretty. But you have almost no control over anything - colors, shapes, pattern or design. It’s almost completely random. I’m sorry, I hate giving bad reviews but this is not worth anything, even for free. Sorry!

### 1/5 — Düşük kalite

*2021-02-13, version 1.1.9*

Fotoğrafların kalitesi düşük. Yüksek kalite için para ödemeniz gerekiyor.

### 5/5 — Genius!!!

*2020-03-26, version 1.1.9*

Best app ever, I absolutely love it. Even if I’m not creating wallpaper or don’t need any new wallpaper I still use this app all the time- I find it very relaxing to play with. It is awesome! It helps me to deal with anxiety and I’ve even used this as a way to stop panic attacks when I get one. Thanks guys for developing this, you guys are geniuses in my opinion.

Thanks!! 
Andrea

### 5/5 — Always come back

*2020-01-27, version 1.1.9*

Would like to see a parameter screen where I can control all the possibilities rather than swiping

### 5/5 — Erzeugt wunderschöne Wallpapers

*2018-07-01, version 1.1.9*

Die App erzeugt wunderschöne Wallpapers, die mit einem Wisch beliebig variiert werden können. Manche Ergebnisse könnte man sich durchaus als Bild an die Wand hängen. Mit einem In-App Kauf kann man auch mit erhöhter Auflösung von 2524x2524 Pixeln exportieren. Seit Jahren die App meiner Wahl für Hintergrundbilder auf meinem Mac und iPad.

### 5/5 — Excellent!!!!

*2018-01-27, version 1.1.8*

Very brilliant app. Thank you guys for making such a wonderful app!

### 1/5 — Export is garbage without paying.

*2017-07-20, version 1.1.6*

All I wanted was a background, at least high enough res so it looks decent, but it compresses it to pixelated trash, this is on a 5C no less.

### 5/5 — Love

*2017-04-11, version 1.1.6*

Love this app! I bought the HD and wasn't disappointed! Ignore the comment below
