### 1/5 — Looks promising, doesn’t work?

*2019-08-13*

Photos are not exported to Camera Roll?

### 4/5 — Good app

*2015-12-13, version 2.0*

This app is great app for creating your own gradient style wallpaper. The only problem I have with it is the wallpaper after being exported into your camera roll becomes a very low quality compared to what you created in the app. I hope to see an update from the developer to fix this problem, then I'll consider this the best app in the App Store for creating nice quality wallpapers!
