Updating previous bad review
I loved this on my iPhone 7 but now on my XR it does not work the pictures are the wrong size
Works but not flawlessly
As stated this app works but the colors of the icons are sometime slightly off which makes them noticeable on simple backgrounds. The trick is getting a screenshot of ur wallpaper as its set on ur phone. Not prefect but not many alternatives out there.
No
Do not buy. Doesn't work for multiple pages, fake icons show up in recent apps since they're just bookmarks. It's fine if you really want to have free roam with icons, but so many better ways to get it.
Does It Need Updating For iOS 10?
After following the directions, at least on my 6S running iOS 10, I could not get this app to do what it claims - as a previous review described, the resultant icons are overexposed & misaligned.
Update: though artifacts still show when swiping between pages, I found out that this app does work. Here’s what I did:
1. Settings: under General, Accessibility, Reduce Motion: set to on
2. Wallpaper: use one that matches your iPhone’s screen size (not its parallax size), e.g. for 6/6S use 750Wx1334H (not 852Wx1608H) or for 5/5S use 640Wx1136H (not 744Wx1392H)
3. Screenshot: put your iPhone in wiggle mode, swipe to the last page (which is empty of icons) & take a screenshot
4. Wallpaper Liberator: when selecting an image, use only this screenshot to create the new icons (not the original wallpaper you installed)
I’ve found that if the app is left open for a longer period of time, Safari will drop the connection & give an error, so you will have to restart the app. And every time you open the app, you are presented with the tutorial, so you will have to press the “Skip” button. But given the complexity of steps required, maybe this is a good idea!
I updated my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.
