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 — Beautiful wallpapers *2024-11-01* Everything is greaattt ### 5/5 — Terrific! *2024-11-01* Terrific collection of custom wallpapers with new ones added each week. These aren’t AI generated; they are created by talented actual artists. Each wallpaper is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Well worth the price of you want great wallpapers. ### 5/5 — I Love this App *2024-01-06* Every week, a new wallpaper is added, often with alternate designs. Also, each wallpaper has several variations for different device sizes. The designs aren’t lazy. They’re high-end, meticulous, and downright enjoyable. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, Chipmunk! We are passionate about our wallpapers so it's nice to know they're appreciated. We also try and make them as usable as possible for both the lock and home screens which is tricky but necessary. Thanks for your support and for taking the time to leave this great review. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2023-12-18* 90% of the wallpapers are to pay... and none of them are really beautiful. ### 5/5 — Best Investment Ever *2023-11-18, version 1.4* These wallpapers bring me joy! ### 5/5 — Nice wallpapers and app *2023-10-24* I enjoy a lot of the wallpapers but simply using the app is nice. I love the scroll effect. Little touches like that make it a joy. 👍 ### 5/5 — Great designs with witty themes! *2023-07-28* It's great go be able to use the same wallpaper designs for my Mac and iPhone. I look forward to every month's new themes. ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2023-06-16* The subscription is too expensive for India. Many of the good wallpapers go on Patreon tier, which I can’t access even after paying so much. ### 5/5 — Good one, Skippy! *2023-05-27* Worth every penny. Drop dead gorgeous. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Is this app trying to make me pay for wallpapers? *2024-11-20* What is this, 2002? ### 1/5 — Can't even see what is available without paying a monthly fee *2024-03-02* Don't get this expecting to be able to find wallpapers unless you want to take a blind jump and pay without knowing what is available. Uninstalled immediately. ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work *2023-08-24* Click to set wallpaper. Install shortcut. Allow it to set the wallpaper. Go look: wallpaper isn’t any different. Sometimes have it reinstall the shortcut over the copy that’s currently there. Still no change to wallpaper. Could it be that the Focus setting – which allows different wallpapers for different Focuses – is flummoxing your app? Seems like it. But, as a developer, making your product work with common settings is your problem, not mine. It’s literally what I’m paying you two bucks a month to do. Except you’re not doing it. Let me know if you get this fixed. Until then, I’m unsubscribing. **Developer response:** The most likely reason you are having trouble is that your device is currently set to use one of the "special" kinds of wallpapers that Apple ships with iOS including People, Photo Shuffle, Live Photos, Weather, Astronomy or even the solid color wallpapers. If your device is currently set to any of these wallpaper types, Wallaroo's shortcut cannot override it and set the wallpaper correctly. Begin by setting your device to use a standard Photos wallpaper using these steps: 1. Lock your iPhone/iPad and tap it to wake. 2. Force press the screen to enter the wallpaper picker interface 3. Scroll right to a new, EMPTY wallpaper slot and press the + button. 4. Tap "Photos" from the list of choices at the top of the screen and select any image in your camera roll. Tap "Add" then Set as Wallpaper Pair and confirm the new wallpaper as your choice. Once your device is set to use any standard photo like the one you just created, Wallaroo's shortcut will be able to then set the Home, Lock or both wallpapers simultaneously. Hope this helps! ### 1/5 — cancel service *2023-06-25, version 1.3.1* I no longer want this app Cancel please ### 1/5 — Share button crashes app. *2023-05-08, version 1.3* Share buton crashes app every single time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-05-05, version 1.3* It asks you to install the shortcut, shortcut installs, runs, brings me back to the app, then asks to install the shortcut again. Over and over. App doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Sharing Crashes All The Time *2023-04-22* Any time on my mac Studio I click the share icon the app crashes. Developer does not provide any way to contact them regarding support. Their support site only gives a useful knowledgebase. ### 1/5 — share button crashes app consistetnly *2023-04-16* not great coding also no right click support. ### 1/5 — Paying a subscriptions for wallpapers? *2023-04-15* No get out of here! ### 1/5 — Save Your Money *2023-04-14* Very few wallpapers available and nothing akin to the live wallpapers offered by other apps on Windows. You can't even use the arrow keys to navigate through the maybe 40 or 50 images that are available. Have to assume the existing reviews are by the friends and family members of the developers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gorgeous Wallpapers *2026-03-31* The Iconfactory folks produce lovely work, and there’s a bunch of freebie wallpapers in here too. ### 5/5 — Best way I found to source new wallpaper or revisit old ones *2025-12-03* Quick and easy way to treat yourself to new device/desktop appearance! ### 5/5 — Wallaroo Reveiw *2025-10-25* It is Great for finding a wallpaper so many options and Varrients GreatApp ### 5/5 — Six out of Five Stars *2025-09-16* Wallaroo is so much fun. I use it across all my Apple devices to keep the wallpapers interesting. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 ### 5/5 — Alta qualidade *2025-07-25* Wallpapers de alta qualidade, app fácil de usar. Uma combinação perfeita! 😍 ### 5/5 — Real art made by real humans *2025-03-07* 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Wallpapers for all your Apple stuff *2024-11-07* Fun new wallpapers and desktop backgrounds for all your Apple devices! They’re often themed to holidays or new media events. I’m someone who likes to switch out my wallpaper frequently to make things feel fresh, and this is the easiest way to have a mountain of excellent options. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
