Too Much Ads!
You could make it every 1or2 minutes 1 ad and not every 15 seconds
Bad app
The app contain adds more than wallpapers
Fake

Doesn’t work.
I followed the instructions. Didn’t work.
Create with ai
This app has some good premade wallpapers. I went to create a wallpaper with AI and noticed that I cannot have the word zombie in it. Repeated offenses can lead to restrictions. For fs, even Apple allows zombies in image playgrounds.
Do not get the app
I wanted a live wall paper but it is solid as a rock
Ad spammer
Every 5 swipes is a ad. Every wallpaper is a subscription. Be better if you could outright buy a wallpaper instead of 50 a year to rent one. Uninstalled
Garbage
Don’t waste your time
Live Photo don’t work for my iPhone
Tried to add as live wallpaper on lock and Home Screen but shows up as a regular photo when i do so. Not worth your money
Super glitchy
Hello, so I just wanted to say that first, this app is really really glitchy, it makes my whole ipad start glitching out when I use the app. Second, every time I try to use the AI creator, I press the watch an ad button, and it says, ‘no ads available’ and is really frustrating when I am trying to use the app. And third, every time I try to press a wallpaper that I want to see, it brings me to random wallpapers that I have to scroll through and I can’t even find the one a wanted to see. So, overall, I rate this a three star because it needs a lot of work in my opinion. I am considering deleting the app, it is very cool dont get me wrong, but it could use some improvement. I think most people would like this app, I’m not sure if the glitches are because of my device or not, but please fix some of these things creators. I hope everyone who reads this has a good day.
To much adds remove it!
I think the wallpapers are nice and all but exactly every 4 seconds it gives me an ad and it gets annoying fix the ads and I might change my review
Uzi
Too many ads
DON’T GET THE APP IT DOSN’T WORK
Honestly I got the app and I was so excited and thought that I was going to have as many animated wallpapers as I could have but once I got it it was a total scam😤 it won’t even let you do animated wallpapers I wouldn’t waste your time getting this app and when u want to make it move it says update your IOS to make animated backgrounds it’s so annoying so if you want dumb pictures go ahead and get the app but if you want your backgrounds to move….. DONT GET IT!
Idk if this is working
I tried it multiple times the correct way and it is not working
Don’t waste you time on this scam
I don’t know if it’s just me but the wall papers don’t work when you set the as you wallpaper they just turn into pictures, there are to many ads to the point where I gave up TRYING to see the other wallpapers, and also the only way I know how to make them work is to tap and hold them on the app. I will never touch this app again
I hate it!!!!
THIS APP MADE ME WANT TO THROW MY PHONE CRY THEN SMASH MY PHONE THEN CRY AND THROW MY PHONE PUT THE WINDOW!!!🥲
Ur Mom
Ur Mom is fat
The wallpapers won’t become live
I download the wallpaper and I put it as my background screen and it won’t move when I turn my phone on and off.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
So not use it trying to steal your personal data that you type
Bad
You have to pay for 90% of everything and have to watch ads NONSTOP
Create own wallpaper
Not allowing me to create my own wallpaper
Don’t waste your time
These don’t work on iPhones unless you press and hold the screen which is worthless and not what you think it would be. Also, the terms of their trial, 3 days? They bill 24 hours before the due date? 8.00 a week??? LOL wow. I got charged and did not want this app after playing with a few of the the options to see how they worked and looked. This auto subscribe that companies do on purpose knowing people get busy and forget, is predatory and should be illegal. I will fight this with Apple because in todays world, even 8.00 is important and I’m not about to give it up to this company. And if I’m refused a refund, I’ll spread the word around social media and I assure that this will result in at least one person not downloading their app.
A Joke
$8 a week and the wallpapers are crap
Seriously?? $7 per week?!
I thought maybe it would be a one time purchase of $7-$10
Scammy + full of ads + week plan $$$
very sluggish programing and UI, full of ads and constantly bugging user to get you to buy the WEEKLY plan….find similar wallpapers for free online:
Pretty cool but criminally EXPENSIVE!
$8 a week?! That is absolutely INSANE! They should change the format where you can just buy wallpapers for $5 or something. Then more people would probably buy a wallpaper or two and move on. Otherwise people are going to do like me and instantly cancel the free trial. Who would want to pay $8 a week for a bunch of mostly trash wallpapers?! That’s $32 a month for wallpapers! Restructured your business model and maybe I’ll consider. Absolutely ridiculous!
Don’t be decieved
This doesn’t work anything like the video advertisement. The wallpapers do not move unless you are physically holding down the screen face and even then they are not clear but lose resolution
Problem
It does not let me save anything after I downloaded one of the wallpapers it keeps saying error
False Advertisement
Saw ad on Facebook. Wallpaper they showed was 3D, Live and very impressive. It’s just to sucker you into spending $7.99 (or doing the 3 day trial and hoping a bunch of people forget to cancel it). All of these backgrounds are 2D and only live on Lock Screen. Plus, just to get the live look you actually have to press your screen (it’s just an iPhone Live Photo like you’d take with your own phone).
Awful. Awful. Awful.
Awful. Awful. Awful.
Not as advertised.
Images do not look 3D as shown on ads. Do not buy.
There is no free trial!
The minute you press continue you get charged $8 a week for this app. It’s more of a scam then a wall paper app.
Doesn’t work for IPhone
Paid the $2.99 only to find out after I downloaded it that it’s only live if you hold your finger on it for so long. What a joke!
Too Buggy
After clicking the free trial the app crashed, and never opened back up. All it does is crash, so I ended up turning off the free trial and deleting the app. So much for that.
Rip off
I just downloaded the app and after agreeing to pay 2.99 the app started crashing, so I reloaded the app and now it wants me to purchase it again. I tried to contact support and no link for email.
Scam just like thought.
Scam just like thought.
Ripoff
The picture are not animated. $7.99 a week. I regret downloading this so much. $8 out The door for still screen saver
Faust advertisement
This is not what you advised.
$7.99 a week? Really?
Apparently the coder doesn’t want to sell this product. There is a justification why people buy things and there nothing this product provides to justify paying $7.99 a week. Now, I get it it took a great deal of time building the code, and money to post it in the Apple store but that doesn’t justify the cost of the product. Unfortunately coders or engineers have no clue about business that is why they partner with people who do understand. Unfortunately because I don’t believe in the price point, I am out.

Does not download
That’s all I need to say
why advertise live wallpapers and not give them?
i downloaded two supposed live wallpapers but there not live wallpapers i have to press and hold on screen for it to be a live and don’t work for regular wallpaper at all so not happy and definitely not paying for something that don’t give what it advertises
Dumpster juice.
Can’t use with iPhone 13 cause it’s trash, perspective zoom from add is exaggerated, TRASH. Wallpapers are weak and copy/paste from one another, trash. Def not as advertised 🥱
Spam-ish
This app is spam-ish. They have more pop ups than a computer virus. The price is too high, the selection method for the free trial is shady, it has you download a whole different app and not the background you selected. Then once you figure out how to install the trial it isn’t animated, it’s a flat image. If they stop the gimmicks and really give people a reasonable price and a free sample, they will make money. This feels like “scam likely”.
Dont move
The app makes it seem like the wallpaper was going to move when the screen is locked- it only moves when u hold it down!
rip off
rip off
I would even rate0
This is sort of ridiculous they are giving you ads and no matter what you cant get the wallpapers without cash so unless you a big spender i don’t suggest this app.
Don’t waste your time
It’s a complete scam
Trash waste
Waste of phone memory and data
Garbage
Anyone who could enjoy this app is higher than a kite. Steer clear of it.
$50 for something that doesn’t work!
I just paid $50 for the app cause it SAID I can create my own wallpapers. Yet when you do, the app freezes and you get nothing. Can you say rip-off? I’ll be contacting Apple for a refund!
It is okay but
It is really glitchy and there are way to many adds
Horrible app
This app is terrible, don’t download this. It would bot let me download any wallpaper and kept asking me to buy the premium features whatsoever or watch an ad to download the wallpaper. Once I watched the ad, nothing happened at all. Horrible app, don’t download
