WallCandy - Unique wallpapers. Unique handpicked wallpapers for your smartphone. We believe that wallpapers are to phone as clothes are to humans. The real motive to make this app came from the fact that we ourselves wanted to have unique wallpapers for our phones. Most of the wallpaper app currently in the apple app store are almost similar and just provide a bunch of stock photographic images. We wanted the wallpapers to have much more. So we came up with Wallcandy where most of the wallpapers are artworks created by very talented digital artists. Each wallpaper has its own backstory and speaks for itself. Features: Art Works - At core we try to only add truly unique artworks to our collections instead of adding thousands of similar stock photos of cars, mountains, flowers. Quality - Almost all the wallpapers are of very high resolutions with some of 4k resolutions. Almost free - Most of the wallpapers in the app are free. Some wallpapers requires premium subscription. Occasional Ads - Wallcandy is almost ad-free. With only 1 ad per day just to cover our server costs. Silent Features - It has built in search, supports dark mode, wallpaper history and much more. Disclaimer: All the wallpapers in this app are under common creative license and the credit goes to their respective owners. These images are not endorsed by any of the prospective owners, and the images are used simply for aesthetic purposes. No copyright infringement is intended, and any request to remove one of the images/logos/names will be honoured.
