### 1/5 — Not worth

*2026-01-06, version 2.1.2*

This app is not worth the money, extremely rudimental.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2024-11-15*

I finally bought a new phone, and it seems the animated gif feature no longer works (iOS 18). I used this app for many many years and it always played the same gif on my home screen for me. It will be sad no longer having it. I hope you can find a fix one day. Thank you for the years, I will miss this app.

### 1/5 — ios18  上手く動かない

*2024-10-03*

旧ウイジェットも今のウイジェットも写真が切り替わらない。
ずっと同じ1枚だけ表示。　再起動などを何回かしましたが全くダメです。

今までずっと愛用していたので、設定でランダム表示などを指定していますが、ios18にしたら写真が変わらなくなった。

**Developer response:** 現在のウィジェット設定は真ん中のタブです。
iOS18でも動作は確認済みです。

現状、他には一件も報告はありませんが
ランダム設定でウィジェットを複数配置し、全て同じ写真が表示されれば、何かおかしいのかもしれません。

低評価を付けるのはクセですか？かなりやる気がなくなります。

### 5/5 — Intervals

*2024-05-21*

Please add the ability to change picture intervals. 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes ect. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Crap app

*2023-10-15*

Useless. Do not buy it. No instructions. Seems that this app is a Trojan horse or virus or a little girl designed it no intuitive at all.

**Developer response:** Is your purpose in life downloading apps that are on sale and giving them bad reviews?
That's a lot of wasted time.

### 4/5 — 良いアプリです

*2023-10-09*

自分はこのアプリのおかげで通知センターにさりげない彩りを添えることができて、ありがたいと思ってます、

旧型ウィジェットをいまだにこのアプリはもちろん他のアプリでも使うんですけど、新型は秒針とかGIFとか動かないからダメなのですよね〜、

これからも存続していただけたらと

### 3/5 — 画像の確認がしにくい

*2023-10-03*

アップデートで、アプリ内の画像が「ピンチで拡大」出来なくなりました(私はコレが重要)
このアプリは使い勝手が良くて長い間使わせてもらってましたが…不便でストレス溜まります
私がやり方がわからないのかもしれませんが…
iPhoneのズーム機能で見れなくはないけど不便。
前のままなら⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️でした😢

**Developer response:** かなり前に更新されていますよ。
削除か書き換えてもらえると助かります。

### 1/5 — GIFS DONT WORK — DO NOT BUY

*2023-08-25*

i followed the instructions of "using the old widget settings" but nothing changes and you can't have a gif on your home screen :(

**Developer response:** gif animation works only with the old widget.

 Tap Edit at the bottom of the home left screen and add a widget for this app from Customize at the bottom.

### 1/5 — 無駄金使った

*2023-08-22*

全然動かない

**Developer response:** もう少し具体的にお願いします。動かないアプリはストアに並びません。

### 1/5 — GIF

*2022-03-28*

GIFが動きません。
どうしたらいいんでしょうか。
GIFのためにこのアプリ買ったのにとても残念です。

**Developer response:** 動くかどうかといえば、動きます。現バージョンに少しヘルプは追加されています。
勝手な自己完結でアプリを傷つけないでください。
