Pretty good app, but can still improve. 👍🏻

Hey, I’ve been using this app for a while now. I think it’s great. There are new free wallpapers every day, and if you’re quick enough, you can save them to your photos if you like them. Otherwise, to get a “premium” one you have to pay for the service, but you’d really only need it long enough to surf the app and choose the ones you really like, because, once you have them saved, you have them forever–no additional payments necessary as far as I can tell.

For the most part, this app is decent if not good. One other thing I might add if I was able would be a way to easily find all the free wallpapers, perhaps using the organization system that already exists in the app. Just one more “genre” of photos labeled “free” or something would be helpful in finding free photos just a bit quicker while surfing. Also, the new color search functionality is pretty great, although the sticker thing I find difficulty finding a good use for. I personally would love an iMessage stickers app with the ones provided in this app to use on the wallpaper, because some of them are pretty great. Otherwise, this app is pretty good. Not perfect, but not awful either. The issue of saving Live Photo’s has been fixed for my phone, so I’m rating four now instead of three. I look forward to seeing what other wallpapers will be added. The quality of those specifically is top notch for sure. Keep up the good work in that regard. Thanks for reading!

Don’t get this

There’s a number of problems with this, 2 of the biggest I think would be:

1. Price, you can’t get very good wallpapers without subscribing, and considering it’s PER WEEK it isn’t worth it for just a wallpaper. You can make your own without the hassle.

2. They don’t even download. Maybe it’s just the phone I have (IPhone 6S) or the version/update I have (13.3.1), but if you try to download the pictures. It doesn’t work. I tried getting it to my Live Photo’s - no download. The only way it “worked” was to text it to myself or download it to my files which doesn’t download as a Live Photo but as a video.

Maybe I’m just stupid and doing it wrong, but it isn’t worth it. Highly disappointed.

The wallpapers are super cool, amazing artwork, but it’s not very good as a wallpaper. Sorry, but I’m gonna have to delete this app. Maybe you (developers) can fix this or tell me what I’m doing wrong? If so, I’ll re-download and try again.

it doesn’t work at all

so i say this app on instagram and i say it and i looked like really cool. i got the app and i was like which one should i get but so many of them were locked because i had to pay. but i wasn’t going to pay about 8 dollars a WEEK to get little pictures like that is such a rip off. then i saw this cute stitch one and it wasn’t locked so i tried saving it because how else can i get it to be a lock screen. that is what i saw on instagram everyone had it one there lock screen. and it wouldn’t download. and some people that rated it were like you have to have a phone that is 6s and up. and i was like i have an xr it should work. and hit the save live photo soooooo many times and it still doesn’t work so if someone could please get that to work that would be great!😠

So bad please read this before you get the app

So bad it is horrible it doesn’t work at least for me and every time I switch an image it tells me to buy the free trial blah blah blah blah blah and then every time I click no the next image I swipe always always always comes back do you want to buy this free trial blah blah blah blah blah. It’s way too annoying and I don’t even think it works because I try to save one and it says the color is not going in I’m sorry blah blah blah blah blah well if you wanna download this app you can always delete it so if you don’t believe me you could try it your self

This is the worst pixel item I have ever seen it has a horrible graphics and it’s just really bad overall I would recommend you not to download this app it is horrible and it’s just going to ask you for money and half of them half of your things are ha ha you have to pay for them so I would not recommend you find or really bad so I would not recommend you buying day thinks things or I will not and I will not recommend you like playing this game and I know do not put it because you’re supposed to be because it’s just going to drink your battery is drained my battery so much like I put 100% and as soon as I put it on my wallpaper my phone went down to 10% and 10 minutes that’s how bad it is and also I just turned on automatically when I’m just sitting there it turns on and it’s freaking creepy as heck even when I’m sleeping so I will not recommend you getting this game

Why again?

Okay I was scrolling in Instagram 2 weeks ago and today I did the same thing And I got this ad 3 times and I finally downloaded it today. And I forgot I had the iPhone XR which no Live Photo works... But I was hoping if I could finally get a Live Photo with this app.. I had to wait 5 minutes so it could load and I have good WiFi . I finally got it and when I put it on my lock screen nothing works & WHY THE HELL DO WE HAVE TO PAY $10 FOR A STUPID NON-WORKING APP! IT DOESN’T WORK FOR ANYTHING! Any my opinion in the Gifs are very ugly.. I searched and there is no heartbreaks gifs .. Thank you for listening

Horrible

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! It has a million ads on Instagram, and it gets into my feed somehow, they use An annoying song, I finally downloaded it just because I thought it will end the ads on instagram. I started up the app, and I am greeted with a full version download button, obviously I said no, because I don’t want these idiots to have my money. As I was scrolling through the wallpapers, (99% of them were locked) I chose one, but it said something along the lines of “oh no!! De photo has lost color :( pls download the full version to get de color back!” I ignored that stupid crap and downloaded the photo (it still had color in my photos, ha, ha.). And the app didn’t even give me the Live Photo! It was just a static image. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Pay just for a picture

I’m sorry but I downloaded the app, I opened it and first thing that pops up is if I want to pay... And I just ignored it, so I move on and I go to where you are supposed to choose you’re background, I was looking for the one I really really really liked so I clicked on it and so I wanted to change it to my background, but when I went to do it... it asked me “ Help her she lost her color”... so I clicked away to see if that was all of them so whichever one I clicked on you had to pay and what was worse I wanted to do and background of space, so if I did pay it would probably take like 3-4 days to recolor, I said “Who would pay just to recolor a picture”, and I don’t know if you have to pay for each picture but if you have to pay for each picture then I don’t know what to say..., all I can say is,
I’m sorry I have to delete this and I was even so exited, I’m sorry but I would not recommend this app if you don’t want to pay just to recolor a picture...
I’m sorry...

Some Issues

Honestly the only good thing about this app is the live stickers. I read a few reviews before I got the app, so I went in knowing you were greeted by pesky purchase options and what not. Saying that, I can’t complain about it. However, I searched through the app for maybe 10 minutes and I didn’t find a single wallpaper I liked. That may just be my opinion, but I still think the options are very limited. In closing, I don’t think I would recommend this app to anyone I know.

Might want to change some things.

I have an IPhone 7 and can use live wallpaper, however, the second I go into the app I get asked to pay for a better version, when I haven’t even seen the full app yet. Then, I go to look at the wallpapers and after every swipe I get asked to leave a review ( no wallpapers looked very appealing )For an app that asks for a review constantly is not getting very many stars. You might want to get better wallpapers so people will want to buy the better version. And you might not want to ask for a review and every swipe. I would not recommend this app to any of my friends or family

Great

This app is truly remarkable. It has almost any live background you can ask for. There is a lot of hard work that must be appreciated for the development of this app. The only reason why I give 4 stars instead of 5 is the premium subscription. I personally would buy a premium version of this app and get all the backgrounds I can ask for only if it didn’t run on a perscription. But other than that, this is still an amazing app.

Great, but expensive

Just like any other wallpaper app, all the good stuff isn’t free. I’m not going to pay 9.99 a month to figure out “you know what I’d rather have my basketball team photo as my background !” But if you’re willing to pay and stick with it, then this app is great ! It has a number of really cool backgrounds to select from. Keep in mind that most of these apps only work on 6s or higher though

False Advertising

This app is 100% not free...it only lets you have the wall paper if you have subscribed for the free day trial and pay $9.99...this app crashes often and it gets annoying...because when it crashes it doesn’t save anything....also did I mention that the wall paper only works on an iPhone XR with the latest update! This app is just a waste of time and
Money...I feel like you would feel really bad because if you were to by the pass you would also get riped
off it’s better to read someone else’s experience than waste the money on it...so...this app is just a WASTE OF TIME DO NOT WASTE THE MONEY ON IT(of course if you want to)

False Advertisement

The app may claim to be free but not a single gif image is free, the app only allows you to save them once you have subscribed with a 3 day free trial and pay $9.99 a WEEK. I honestly believe this is just a rip off and FALSE ADVERTISEMENT due to me seeing this advertisement on Instagram with 100+ likes. Leading to the app having so many downloads only for people to become disappointed with the discovery that these are in fact NOT FREE. If that doesn’t scream false advertisement to you then maybe the fact that the gif images don’t even move how it claims to be in the videos and examples may change your mind. Paying $9.99 a week for a picture that only moves when you tilt your phone around doesn’t seem like a good deal to try and show off to friends or family with in my opinion. Not to mention that this only works for the latest version of iOS on the iPhone X Max which would have been a very helpful piece of information that the developers could have included in the description of their rip off app. Hopefully for those that took the time to read this review can take the time to read other reviews of products or places they want to try out or go before spend their money. A few minutes of reading someone else’s experience with a product or place is worth it rather than wasting money for poor quality or results.

Doesn’t Work

When you tap on a wall paper it takes for ever to load then it is confusing because it doesn’t tell you how to download the gif. It’s a small little icon that says download live picture in the corner. When you tap on that it says it can’t work. I’ve tried restarting the app and restarting my phone but neither of those work. Every minute or so it asks you to get the premium which cost $10 a week which is outrageous. It only lets you get a small few pixelated gifs that don’t even look good. This app does not work and it’s trying to scam you, don’t download this app with the thought that it will get you the wallpaper in the add you probably saw. Be careful.

Too many locked wallpapers

You people are way too desperate for money. Most of the good pixel wallpapers are locked everything works and all but there’s some like Lilo and stitch and adventure time and Marshmello most of those were locked and then some random wallpapers were unlocked. I understand that you want people to buy your subscription but not a lot of people have money for that. Also a lot of people won’t like your app if you’re desperate for people to buy your premium. Just saying you need to work on that...

This app is absolute garbage!!!

I downloaded it because I thought the ads looked cute. IT’S NOTHING LIKE THE ADS!!! Some of the backgrounds in the ads aren’t even available, they don’t even move, half of them are locked unless you want to pay money for crappy backgrounds, and there are SO MANY ADS!!! Every time you want to do something an ad for another app comes up. You want a background? Well oh shoot it’s lost it’s color! Now you have to buy another app to color it. :) This is a waste of time. I deleted right after I got it.

This is a wast of time!

As my title says...THIS IS A WAST OF TIME!!! The advertising video in instagram was so amazing so I downloaded it thinking it’s co cool and they move by it’s self..BUT NO! you have to pay monthly for just ONE WALLPAPER and you have to hold it down to move but it barely works and I can’t even go looking for one without a ad or a “buy this mothley fee 🙄 “ so first it’s false advertising second it’s a monthly fee for just one and then it doesn’t work! I wish I could give a half a star! I have the same phone ad the advertising phone they used so I thought its gonna work but no this is not worth the download... stupid app!

It’s good but makes me sad with time

It’s honestly a good app when you put aside the misleading adds online, it provides colorful and quite creative pixelated pieces of art to decorate your phone with, additionally there are not a lot of adds in your face like other apps and there is the amazing feature were you can download any art piece for free within the first 24h of it’s release with out buying premium but there has been a huge problem lately with resides in the lack of creativity in the recent pics, at first they were well designed and colorful but now most of them feel lame and unmotivated I just wish they’de go back to there original format

It’s decent!

When I first saw this app on insta I was so excited so I went straight to the App Store and download this app! When I got on it I thought it was amazing and it is I use it for my wallpaper but the only downfall is that all of the cute ones and I mean all of them you have to pay money to get them :( but after all I think this app is pretty decent but if it didn’t make you pay for the cute ones then this app could’ve been my fav app ever! But I still will use this app but it could be better
