### 3/5 — I don’t know…

*2026-04-06*

I know it was meant for phones, but I tried it on an iPad. It was easy at first,but when I tried to make it my wallpaper, the corners where completely off the screen and it wasn’t the right size. Also no offense, but 1.99 to get rid of a watermark is insane. And you couldn’t even move or size it…

### 3/5 — Any update for the 14/15?

*2025-08-17*

Hey I have a 16 pro max and the notch that’s on there doesn’t line up, when can we expect an update?

### 5/5 — Hello 👋

*2025-06-09*

I like your app so much ,

Could you please fix double line opacity to be the same level i test it in double line same color white level not the same for both.

### 5/5 — Limited Colors

*2025-01-14*

🥲 colors are limited and mostly pale

### 4/5 — Great app until Apple killed it.

*2024-02-03*

Before the latest version of iOS, it worked perfectly, my only critique being the limited color palette instead of using color sliders or hexadecimal codes. However, after Apple implemented their extended wallpaper “feature”, the app no longer works, as it modifies the image to have a grotesque white blur at the top. This can be worked around by producing a smaller image. PLEASE FIX!

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2022-11-26*

I love using this app but when I upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, the first time I used this app, it asked me what type of phone I have and now I can’t change it to what iPhone I have now! At least I think it told me which iPhone I have! Is there a setting where you can change to which iPhone you do have? Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love this app, never-not using it on every wallpaper

*2022-11-19*

That being said, it would be rad to get a border on the oval dock at the bottom, or around the top half at least. Had a wallpaper do that, then I uploaded it to Notched for extra borders. Would love to be able to do it on every wallpaper and not have to look for ones that already have it on the dock border.

### 5/5 — Güzel

*2022-11-04, version 2.4*

Güzel uygulama renk skalası artarsa daha da iyi olacak

### 3/5 — Color hex

*2021-12-11*

Which you can use your own color for border instead of your options..

### 5/5 — Works great with iPhone 13 Mini

*2021-12-03*

This is exactly what I was looking for, I couldn’t find any wallpapers with the right dimensions for the mini version and this app fits it automatically. Love it!
