I signed up to the FREE Trial to only be charged the full yearly amount and for regular stock photos. This app doesn’t do as advertised and it’s only purpose is to trap you into accepting the FREE Trial in order to charge the full amount immediately. Trying to figure out how to get my money back as I have taken better photos then these and most of them I can’t even select. Beware, stay away from the fraudulent app and company.. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-02-01, version 1.2.7* I was disappointed with this app ### 1/5 — Wallpapers *2021-01-24, version 1.2.7* I am sorry 1 star is as low as I can give. I really bought the ad and spent 30 dollars for the premium no-ad version. What a waste of 30 bucks. I'll just add to wait has been said in the other reviews. There are no settings or instructions and the app just does not work! BUYERS BE AWARE. Oh, and the salt on the wound is their customer support is strictly a PAID SERVICE! ### 1/5 — FRAUD! Complete waste of money! *2021-01-22, version 1.2.7* I’d like to give zero stars. App is NOT as advertised. No! No! No! Despite App Store saying it would work on my phone it does not. Complete waste of money. I’m tying to get my money back but I can only find an email address. I’d love to hear if others were successful in doing so. If you want this app get $30 AND RIP IT UP then find another app!!! If I ever see any other app by this company it will be a definite PASS! ### 1/5 — Cancellation *2021-01-22, version 1.2.7* Delete or cancel my granddaughter did this I did not want this app ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2021-01-20, version 1.2.7* Can’t click or do anything when the wallpapers. App is Buggy, doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — SCAM. BEWARE *2020-12-30, version 1.2.7* Labeled as free but then charges 29.99 for a year service upon download. Disputing charge and reporting to Apple now. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2020-12-29, version 1.2.7* This app said free trial... but I’ve been charged. Tricky :-( also it’s not as cool as it’s portrayed. Rip off! Worst $30 I’ve ever spent!!! ### 1/5 — Deceptive *2020-12-27, version 1.2.7* Do not sign up for a “free 3 day trial”. I agreed to a “free 3 day trial “ to see if I liked it enough to go ahead with a subscription. Moments after I started using the app, I cancelled, because they misrepresent their content. Moments after I cancelled , I found I had been charged for a full, one year subscription and funds had already been taken from my bank account. This app is fraudulent. ### 1/5 — Charged me a year for a free trial *2020-12-25, version 1.2.7* I authorized it for a free trial and the next think I know 36.27 was deducted from my account. I can not find a way to actually speak to someone about this but I want my money back. That app is not worth 36 dollarsz ### 1/5 — Disappointed :/ *2020-11-20, version 1.2.7* I saw an ad or two about this app, and it looked really interesting (and I’ve also struggled with finding a good wallpaper), so I got it to see if it was how the ads made it out to be. I’m gonna go ahead and answer that; NO. Not a single bit. Apparently, you need the world’s greatest Wi-Fi in order for the app to even function. Because my Wi-Fi is completely fine and connected, yet I still cannot get past the annoying “loading” icon. I’ve also tried resetting the app, but still no. I can open the different pages and interact with it, but nothing else. All I see is a black screen with pink text, and again, that annoying “loading” icon. I’m very disappointed. I thought I’d actually be able to experiment with some cool, new wallpapers but nope. It says “Bug Fixes” under recent updates, but there still seems to be a lot wrong with the “bugs”. And, I cannot stress this enough; DO NOT MAKE AN APP AND PUT IT ON THE APP STORE IF IT’S UNFINISHED AND CAN’T FUNCTION. ### 1/5 — Please fix this! *2020-11-01, version 1.2.7* When I go to save a wallpaper nothing happens... fix this issue and I will fix my review. I just want to save wallpapers. ### 1/5 — Papel de parede *2020-10-28, version 1.2.7* Desliga aleatoriamente no passar da imagens. A propaganda enganosa induz a compra apresenta uma imagem que não esta disponível a naonsernque pague mais. Não recomendo. Arrependido. ### 1/5 — I did not purchase this app, I would like my money back *2020-10-28, version 1.2.7* I did not purchase this app, I would like my money back. ### 1/5 — Refund *2020-10-27, version 1.2.7* I need to refund. I was mischarged ### 1/5 — This app is a con *2020-10-24, version 1.2.7* Absolutely fuming chose the free 7 day trail and it has taken the £29.99 how is that free this app is a con and definitely not worth the price ### 1/5 — Took my money *2020-10-24, version 1.2.7* It says free trial but the terms are cancel 24 hours before subscription but the subscription started straight away so you can’t cancel it and it took a years subscription. Will be seeking my money back ### 1/5 — TOTAL BIG SCAMMER! *2020-10-22, version 1.2.7* SCAM! App says free trial but after I clicked the “Free Trial” button. I was automatically charged $29.99 for 1 year. And the live screen they were showing you would get from their app isn’t even working. After I saved the live screen and choose it for my wall paper under settings, it was just a regular photo. No movements, definitely not a Live screen! Very deceiving!!!!! ### 1/5 — Free normalement ça veut dire gratuit... *2020-10-21, version 1.2.7* Quel déception de voir qu’il faut s’abonner pour 29€ par mois pour essayer gratuitement ! Normalement on essaye et si ça nous plait, on s’abonne ! Pas l’inverse ! ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2020-10-21, version 1.2.7* I pressed the button that said Free Trial, no such thing all it seems to do is sign you up for a year for an App that doesn’t work with IPhone XR. This app is obviously just a scam. No way of contacting anyone for a refund. Cancelled subscription within 5 mins of downloading, too late and no information on the week long subscription for £1.99. All a big con, avoid. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Read reviews *2021-04-03, version 1.2.9* When I hit the “try it for free” they immediately charge you for one full year. Even though I tried to cancel immediately, upon realizing this was not it was cracked up to be, it had already been charged. I wish I had read the reviews ahead of time. ### 1/5 — Scan *2021-03-11, version 1.2.9* Clicked on free trial and was immediately charged full year’s subscription. Also, NONE of the images I found were even close to what their social media ads make them out to be. Steer clear of thus one. ### 1/5 — Scam? *2021-03-10, version 1.2.9* This app stated there was a free trial so I opened it. Right away I knew I didn’t want to keep it so I deleted it and then discovered I was charged for a year. I immediately went to my subscriptions and canceled it but I still have it for a year. There goes $31.00 of my money for an app I don’t plan on using. Another lesson learned. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2021-03-10, version 1.2.9* Do t waste your money!! This app is stupid and worthless. I contacted the company to get my Money back and was denied. ### 1/5 — Cant rate worse *2021-03-09, version 1.2.9* First it tells you “in app purchases” at download. After opening app it tells you “try it free” and “free trial” but when you click to open it requires sign in for subscription reasons. I get it. It makes sense. Boom. No free trial you are instantly charged and non of the wall papers are truly accessible. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. Fighting for my refund now. ### 1/5 — Crappy app *2021-03-05, version 1.2.9* I downloaded because it says it has lots of aquariums - there are 3 and only 1 is live! I was willing to do a subscription after I viewed what wallpapers were available, however - it states do you want to begin free trial? I said yes! also stated there were 3 levels you can subscribe to - it hit me with the $29.99 for a year! And there’s no free trial! so I’m stuck - paid $29.99 and the wallpapers are crap! Also, when you see a wallpaper to load - you can’t download! So I’be really been shafted! Don’t download this crappy app! And, I’ve reported them to Apple! ### 1/5 — scam!!!! *2021-03-04, version 1.2.9* I also was scammed out of $30 after clicking the free trial button. How has this not been pulled off the app store yet?! ### 1/5 — TOTAL SCAM & RIP OFF! 😒 *2021-03-02, version 1.2.9* Signed up for free trial only to be charged the full amount instantly. I feel totally scammed as from what I can see most of the wallpapers are poor quality stock photos and not the funky “live” animated wall papers which they lure you in with to sign up. I’m trying to figure out if and how I can get my money back as this app wasn’t cheap at $29.99 per year! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! If I could award it no stars I totally would, it does not deserve a single one. ### 1/5 — RIP OFF!!! *2021-03-01, version 1.2.9* I usually read reviews before trying any app. Did not do it here. BIG MISTAKE. Apple should control these ripoffs!!! ### 1/5 — Junk *2021-02-25, version 1.2.9* Scam ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Omg I recommend this *2020-09-25, version 1.2.7* This app is SO good!! I highly recommend you to try it out I can have the coolest wallpaper ### 5/5 — So good ❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2020-07-29, version 1.2.4* I love this app so much the veracity of wallpapers I love the different animals on the app this is so fun to pick the wallpapers although it would be nice to have a little more live wallpapers ### 5/5 — This is a Awesome app *2020-05-24, version 1.2.2* I love this app ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2019-07-17, version 1.2.2* If it is ok, I used one of the wallpapers for my new book cover. I sited it out, the book is called PROTECTORS Rejected Love book one. It should be coming out in 2020 hopefully please tell me if that is ok. ❤️❤️❤️ ### 4/5 — Ok *2019-05-08, version 1.2.2* The app is really cool but it doesn’t let you do some really cool stuff other than that I would give it five stars also every single time you try to save something it disappears ### 4/5 — It’s awesome *2019-02-19, version 1.2.1* This app is awesome, and I love it but every time I try to save something it always pops up random ads and it’s kind of annoying ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2019-10-20, version 1.2.2* This app is great and it has a lot of awesome wallpapers, but there’s an add for every moment. Every time you save a wallpaper, there’s an add. Sometimes when you open a wallpaper to look at it, there’s an ad. You’re scrolling? There’s an ad. This app isn’t bad or anything, there’s just way to many ads. If you made it so there weren’t as many and they weren’t so repetitive, I would probably give it four stars. Thanks! 😉 ### 3/5 — BAD!!! *2019-06-30, version 1.2.2* If I find a wallpaper I like and it’s live it doesn’t work for my lock screen.👿👺😡💩 ### 2/5 — Cool pictures but *2020-10-20, version 1.2.7* When I touch a still photo to set it nothing happens. Live Photo’s are great. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t have what’s in the ad *2020-10-15, version 1.2.7* I just saw an add for this app on Facebook, it showed someone with a very cool, 3-d aquarium wallpaper. My mind was blown, so naturally I went and downloaded the app and looked for how to get it. I got suckered into buying the premium for $30 and it turns out that you can’t even get it. It’s way too good to be true. Don’t get this. Save your money --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
