## What is Notcho?

Not a fan of the notch? Want to hide the horns? Now you can quickly and easily create wallpapers that hide the notch on your new iPhone X.

Or maybe you don't have an iPhone X yet? Notcho can add a notch to your wallpaper so that you can pretend that you do.

Notcho is the original notch hiding app and the first app created specifically for iPhone X. You can import any photos or images and then save a specially created image that can be set as a wallpaper in the Photos app that hides the notch at the top of the screen. Or you can choose from both free and premium wallpapers that ship with the app.

NOTE: This app can only hide the notch in wallpapers on your home and/or lock screens. It is not possible to hide the notch while running apps.

Notcho is free to download and try and it doesn't contain any ads. It creates wallpapers with a watermark which can be removed with a one-time in-app purchase within the app. Please help support further development on Notcho by upgrading if you find it useful.

Import images from any app with our action extension or edit photos directly in the Photos app with our photo editing extension. It couldn't be easier to create great looking wallpapers for iPhone X.

### 5/5 — Been using it for years. Does its job well

*2024-08-21*

if the developer sees this, i thank for this app

### 1/5 — Terrible app.

*2022-12-22, version 1.1.2*

You have to pay to remove the watermark. Pretty much useless without paying $2.99

### 3/5 — Carina ma non facilmente compatibile con ios 16

*2022-11-20, version 1.1.2*

Con IOS 16 è diverso il modo di impostare lo sfondo 

Ora l’immagine va editata per farla adattare allo schermo, quindi non è più semplice che editare la foto a mano con un programma di editing
