Absolutely the worst!!!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2019-02-24*

Very bad and complex app.

### 1/5 — No good.

*2012-04-16, version 1.2*

Good wallpapers, if you get a chance to see them. 
Crashes within 60 seconds of being opened every time.

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2011-10-30*

Can't find any good graphics because the app crashes after first few pages. Deleted

### 1/5 — Seams nice but

*2011-10-29*

Crashes after i checkout the third page!! Please fix this version

### 1/5 — Nag ware

*2011-03-15, version 1.0*

It might be 2.99 normally but apparently it is not the full version. As soon as I opened it, it was directing me to another wallpaper app.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2011-09-20, version 1.1*

Barely any wallpapers and took ages to download ...

### 2/5 — Boo!! 

*2011-09-19*

Very great pictures but it would be better if it didn't crash every time I saved a picture and if it had categories. I prefer any other wallpaper app than this one. So glad I got it for free 
P.S.- the ads are soooo annoying!!

### 2/5 — A bit disingenuous, if you ask me.

*2011-02-20*

This "free" app that states it was $3.99 before becoming "free" is loaded with intrusive pop-up ads, plus a resident ad at the bottom of the screen that obscures part of the photo, as well as being too close to the directional buttons and is therefore often hit by mistake.

The photos are really quite lovely, and for only that reason do I give the app two stars. Unfortunately, it is questionable whether it is worth putting up with the constant pop-ups and other inconveniences to go after the photos. 

Also, there are no category filters or a search engine, and not a single word is mentioned in the app store review that there is a maximum download limit imposed on the "free" previously $4 app, and it ISN'T very generous. All of a sudden the photos just won't download anymore, with nary a single word of explanation. I didn't count the number I downloaded because of course I had assumed there was no need to do so. WRONG!  Had I known this "free" app limited the downloads I would have surely chosen more carefully. Duh, too late now!

Because of these disingenuous matters I would not buy their full version even if it only cost 50 cents no matter how much I liked the photos.  Call me stubborn, but in my humble opinion it is a matter of principle. Toodle Do, have a great day! Soon t'will be springtime, YEAAAAAA!

### 3/5 — صور جمييييلة جدا ً

### 5/5 — Great wallpaper quality

*2014-12-16*

Thank you so much i like it alot

### 5/5 — Whats the title for?

*2014-04-17*

So much variety and beautiful artwork mixed with amazing photos

### 5/5 — The best app for wallpapers!

*2011-12-18, version 1.2*

This app is fantastic for wall papers! There are abstract ones, nature ones, you name it, it's there somewhere. The pictures also load much faster than any other apps. The only downside is that it does require Internet. If there were an offline version, that would be great! It would also be good if they were separated into categories (eg. Animal, Funny, Misc. etc).

### 5/5 — Wow best app

*2011-08-06, version 1.1*

Amaaaaaaazing retina walls.

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-04-12, version 9.5*

Great app for wallpapers and definitely recommend it

### 4/5 — Over 350 Free Retina Wallpapers

*2019-03-17, version 9.5*

Awesome

### 3/5 — Beautiful pictures but no search

*2011-02-13*

Beautiful pictures but no search capability. Browsed through pictures and saved some images to library for wallpaper. 
Can add pictures to "favorites" within app but no other options available. Glad I bought as free app and not at $3.99. I would've been VERY DISAPPOINTED. 

Pictures are very nice but would not have been worth anything other than 'FREE'.
