Everything I like I will have to pay for. I do like the wallpapers, but I can’t pay for them. ### 3/5 — It needs to fix some stuff. *2026-05-06, version 3.2.7* When I get a new wallpaper, if I remove it sometimes I need plus to get it back and also there should be a framerate option for it. ### 4/5 — WOW *2026-01-24, version 3.2.5* Runs smoothly even on the oldest devises ### 4/5 — good *2025-11-30, version 3.2.3* If only I had free access to any wallpaper ### 3/5 — omg *2024-11-22, version 3.1.0* I like the 3d wallpapers but you cant do anything if you dont pay per month. ### 4/5 — Paper *2024-10-26, version 3.0.7* Fun and visually pleasing wallpapers. I only wish I could preview the locked wallpapers before I purchase ### 5/5 — good *2024-10-01, version 3.0.6* great ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2024-09-24, version 3.0.6* This app used to get frequently added live wallpapers.. but in the past few months, hasn't updated at all. disappointing. I wouldn't bother if i were you. ### 5/5 — better than i thought *2024-09-12, version 3.0.4* better than most out there ### 5/5 — Best Live Wallpaper so far! *2024-09-12, version 3.0.4* Love this Live Wallpaper app, it has a clean and intuitive user interface, and its easy to install Live Wallpaper art or create your own from existing video. Some clever Live Wallpapers exist in its library as well. ### 4/5 — new year *2024-09-01, version 3.0.4* dragon test legal modernization china new year pub of commerce cars and fashion videos or pic ### 4/5 — Good, but could use some improvement *2024-08-17, version 3.0.3* This adds another small icon in your menu bar to access the developer's "store" if you would, but it displays videos or pictures from which to choose. My recommendations: 1. Allow users to resize the window. Users with more screen real estate feel claustrophobic with the severly limit amount of backgrounds from which to choose. 2. Allow users to search for by keywords. For example, a search keyword of 'cats' would show only items with cats on them. If the search is for 'city' then show only cities. The user can even be more specific: If the user enters 'new york' they should see only items about or looking at New York City. 3. And about searches, allow the user to choose specific types, like only videos or only images or both. 4. And allow users to decide how many backgrounds may appear on one screen, or group them all on one continuous scrolling page. 5. And group them better. I already use this add-on, but the recommended changes will help me enjoy it more. ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-07-30, version 3.0.0* its exacly what i wanted i just wish it had a search bar option and sometimes the gifs lag ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2024-07-17, version 2.9.8* Amazing! ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-07-13, version 2.9.7* Nice range of wallpaper ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Anime hell *2026-02-15, version 3.2.6* Don’t buy this unless you like asian carrots ### 1/5 — Rating nags *2025-07-27, version 3.2.1* There aren’t many wallpapers, and every time you click on one of the few there are, you get a rating nag. Every single time. So I’m rating it. You’re welcome. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2025-05-29, version 3.1.9* I purchased the premium upgrade and as soon as I upgraded my MacOS it stopped working and didn’t give me the option to restore. ### 1/5 — Scary *2025-03-03, version 3.1.5* I have seen enough wallpaper apps that are sketchy or get flagged by AV. Although this one has not gotten flagged "yet", it's a bit crazy that it does not display in the Applications folder but is sitting there with an odd name ("Happy Wallpaper") which makes no sense to me. Why an application would mask itself to .. actually make it difficult for the user to find it and launch it?! I had to go back into the app store, look at my purchases, it confirmed it was there so when I clicked Open ... it appeared. Nothing shows up on the dock so you can not command-click the icon to see where it was. I finally located it using ps from terminal and looking at the launch path. I would honestly steer clear until they explain this. Even if they are trying to avoid cluttering your applications folder, it would be trivial to put it in the utilities folder. ### 1/5 — Don't pay for upgrade *2024-11-09, version 3.0.9* The one i wanted was behind a pay wall. I don't care paying. But it is glitchy. the animation of the water is not smooth at all. it's like a 3 sec clip on loop and it's terriable. ### 1/5 — doest work *2024-04-15, version 2.9.1* Wall paper doesnt change on my computer ### 1/5 — pyed for this for one wallpaper snd it freezes *2024-02-16, version 2.8.6* the cat at night with the boats live wall paper is the only reason i got this for and is the only one that seems to freeze cmon just fix it ### 1/5 — Images *2024-02-10, version 2.0.2* They won’t load ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2023-04-30, version 2.5.3* This is a cool app but you only have access to a few papers unless you pay. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2023-01-25, version 2.4.4* Gotcha ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 好 *2026-05-21, version 3.2.8* 好 ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-01-15, version 3.2.5* Gotta love Lord of the Rings. ### 5/5 — Better than Windows Live *2025-11-13, version 3.2.3* Better than Windows Live ### 5/5 — Great *2025-06-05, version 3.1.9* Love the nature ones! ### 5/5 — very good *2025-04-03, version 3.1.7* good price for what you get ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2025-03-20, version 3.1.7* There are so many great wallpapers to choose from.
