The artists at Iconfactory are truly special. Every week you get a new wallpaper created by a real human and not some AI slop. The wallpapers span many different interests and there’s something for everyone in the collection. I highly recommend the reasonably priced subscription to access the complete collection of art. Thanks again Iconfactory for being such an amazing development company. I’ve been using your apps for a long time.

### 2/5 — “Great wallpapers, every week”? - Won’t happen.

*2025-02-25*

“Great wallpapers, every week”? - Won’t happen. I’ve been using this lovely app for a month and have not yet seen a new wallpaper come in. Otherwise, great app, great design, great concept.

### 5/5 — Wonderful wallpapers at an excellent price

*2024-12-23*

I’ve never spent money on a wallpaper app before, but Wallaroo is different. This is such a brilliant collection of art optimised for all screen sizes and often with home/Lock Screen variants too. Continually updated at a totally reasonable price for human artists. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Amazing creative wallpapers

*2024-12-13*

Iconfactory’s creativity shines bright with every week’s release. My favorite part is that many wallpapers include variants that are just the background or a simplified version of the primary art that becomes suitable for display behind Home Screen icons without having to use the blur feature.

### 5/5 — Best

*2024-12-12*

I did not know Iconfactory made a wallpaper app. I’ve tried a few and this is the one. High quality art, high quality app, great developer.
