However, the app icon is blank on my iPad and it looks trashy. Even with updates and everything it won’t show me the actual app icon. Would love this to be fixed. ### 4/5 — 4 stars!! *2026-08-11, version 8.4.1* This app is amazing!!! But! If you want to get adds a lot and want to have some problems getting your wallpaper, I don’t recommend :) but other than that this app is soooo good!!! If you don’t care about all that stuff, then I highly recommend getting this app!!! ### 4/5 — Love it, but there’s a big problem *2026-08-11* Absolutely love the app. However, it’s very poorly optimised and draws a LOT of battery when idle. My phone loses around 10% battery on my nightstand because of the poor optimisation of this app. Hope the devs fix this ASAP. Either way a very good app. Been using it for 4-5 years now. ### 2/5 — Widget problem! *2026-08-10, version 8.4.1* I picked widgets and saved them but when I added it all of my widgets weren’t there!! 🫪🫪 Now I can’t add anything and i don’t have widgets!! 😭 ### 3/5 — Widgets *2026-08-10, version 8.4.1* My friend literally had so much trouble with her widgets💅💅💅💅💅 like she had all of her widgets but they disappeared!!!!!!👹👹LiKE WhAt!!!!Buttt i am enjoying it😃😃😃😃😃😃 ### 3/5 — uhmmmm.. *2026-08-10, version 8.4* idk if I’m doing it wrong or whattt bc this is so confusing like all I can do on there is make wallpapers that I can’t even useeee so I’m kinda sad but my bff recommended this but if you want to get it get ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-08-09, version 8.4* It’s very nice and good!!
