Does what it's supposed to but only sometimes. It'll set a wallpaper but then randomly decide to swap off and go to a random default wallpaper from my phone and I'll have to reset it once or twice a week. That was tolerable for a while, but now it just doesn't work, I click for it to preview on my device and the gif isn't there, it's completely black. Even when I set it to the background it will stay black. App is basically useless, it's been doing this for the past couple weeks.

When I have a lock screen that is separate from the gif, it reverts back after a day or two. I wouldn't mind so much if I just had to reapply the gif, but the lock screen reversion is annoying. This didn't happen when I was first using the app, but after a month or two of usage this has been happening. I'm on a Motorola one 5g uw

Simple and effective! I love how easy it is to bring a gif in and set it, and also the fact that scaling doesn't ruin the quality of the image. I gave it four stars because I would have liked the ability to have a scrolling gif that scrolls when I switch between pages on my home screen. If it weren't for that, this app would be perfect.

easy to use and works well on pixel 2 device, and I don't notice any slowdowns (been playing around since today). only issue is I don't have an option for just lock screen, even though the "home and lock screen" option work just fine. + every time I set a gif to "home screen only" ,wallpaper on the lock screen (still or gif) goes black (home screen works fine ). Would give 5 stars if lock screen alone kinks were worked out. Tried to set one gif to both, then a gif to home, but lock goes black

It's great. Pinch zoom works to resize animated gif images. I was looking for another app to do resizing, before I realized that this app has that function already built-in and it's very easy to use! The new file picker works great too. Based on what I have installed, I was given the option to use either QuickPic, Ghost File Manager or Gallery as file pickers.

Finally figured out what the problem was with not being able to find the images(gifs) I downloaded/the app crashing when finding said images...You have to give permission to Google Search to storage before your device can properly download images to the phone so this app can use them. Once I figured that out, this app worked like a charm. Might want to add that to the FAQs. Awesome app!

Works quickly and as intended, but a couple things. the window represented in the editing screen doesn't represent my full phone screen, it's a little shorter off the bottom. Also, so far, I had my wallpaper revert to the stock live wallpaper after a couple days, I just used the app to set it back again. I'll update this review in a week to let you know if it stays or reverts again. I have an updated Galaxy note 8. I checked the faq and the advice you have for wallpaper reversions doesn't seem to help. I don't have an app that automatically takes care of wiping background data, and if I do, I can't find it. I do have a built in device maintenance app, but it doesn't clear out the wallpaper when I manually use it to clear background data. Hopefully this kinda just improves for me. EDIT: after reapplying the same wallpaper, it did not revert again, so I'm upgrading this to 5 stars. The impact on battery life it relitively negligible for my phone. I may only use an extra 5 to 10% at most over the day since installed. Well worth having an animated wallpaper.

Works exactly like it's supposed to! Now I can finally have a low quality SpongeBob gamgdum styling in the background of my phone! The only real problem is that it will randomly disable the background and revert it to the ugly preset wallpaper out of no where, leaving you to go back to the app and change it again. Luckily you don't have to scroll to find it again, as it's just waiting to be back in your wallpaper. Fix this one issue and BOOM five stars.

If it stopped working for you, long click the icon, open app details, click storage, delete data, then reopen. I also switched to legacy method in the app settings and it works again. Thumb up this comment so others can see it in case their app also stopped working like mine did. Works great for making GIF files into a wallpaper. Works on home screen & lockscreen.

This is really a wonderful app. The best live gif wallpaper one that I've come across. Unfortunately - and idk if this is maybe because of a conflicting app or something- pretty often my wallpaper resets to default and I have to relaunch the app to get it back to the gif. It's at least once a day, sometimes more often. Idk like I said it could be a conflicting app or that I keep my phone on battery saver or it might be a way to show ads more often to generate revenue. No clue. Not a bd imo tho.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Many apps to set a gif as a background crop it weirdly. With this it's as simple as choose the photo/gif, place it how you want it, and set it as your background! I am pleased, and now I have a gif as my background as well :) Edit: There are a few minor glitches that come with, but nothing that isn't necessarily irritating or bad.

Worked really well out of the box for a while. Eats a lot of ram but the wallpaper is very quick and easy to set up. Then Pokemon Go crashed the app so hard that it perma died. I tried everything. Restarting the phone, clearing the cache, reinstalling the app. Nada. Not really this apps fault though. If this app could use less ram somehow, it would be the best of the live gif/video wallpapers. B+

While the app does function in what it claims, my g10's restrictions unfortunately refuse to let me set an separate home and lock screen with this app, like many other similar apps. I'd definitely consider paying for this functionality if you could attempt to work it in (yes, I saw the faq). Another issue is the intrusive banner ad layered over parts of the lower icons: They're clickable, but the look is unappealing. Otherwise, this application works well with setting up your gifs as wallpapers.

Almost perfect. I love being able to customize my wallpaper with any gif I'd like and the added bonus of a background behind it just in case I want the fit to be smaller than my actual phone size. There is just one thing that makes me drop one star. For some reason whenever I press the checkmark to finish up my work, it automagically turns my lock/homescreen black until choose which screen I wanna add the gif to. This means that its impossible to have both screens with different live walls.

It's easy to upload the gif you want to use for your wallpaper, and easy to adjust the size and placement by zooming in and out. The reason I'm giving 2 stars is because I found my wallpaper switching to a default wallpaper multiple times a week. I would then have to go back into the app and reapply the gif I wanted for my home screen, and go into my phone settings to reapply my lock screen photo. It just became a pain. If that problem is addressed, it could be a great app!

I've been using the app for the past year or so and its been great. Only here lately it seems the app crashes while my phones on charge while I'm sleeping, and I'm greeted with the default Android Wallpaper and I have to go back in the app and set it all up again. Otherwise, would be 5 stars. I am not using Battery Savers or Phone Managers.

Honestly I don't know why this app doesn't have at least 4.5 stars. Although it's basic and has some ads in the editor along the edges, and between the process of completing and setting the wallpaper, it does exactly what you need it to. Heck, I didn't expect it to even let me move the gif and crop it, and it even did that. And on top of that, it even remembers your progress on editing when you go in and out of the app. So if you want to make a slight change later, you can. Overall, it's great.

Well it works, but its limited. For some reason you can't use this app exclusicely for the lock screen. It's either both the lock and home screen, only the home screen, or nothing at all. If I could have an animated lockscreen, but a different home screen, that'd be great, and would probably earn this app a fourth star. Why is it not a four star already? That's a simple question to answer; it's confusing at first, and it feels a bit clunky.

The app does what it says; however, I would like the option to set a gif for my locksceen as well if its possible. Also the app should disable the gif when running in the background to prevent battery drain and performence issues. otherwise the app was simple and easy to use. Wish my phone has this option by default, I have the option to use my phone's defult live background, but there's no option for custom ones.

I think for the most part it works fine. I don't get into really detailed settings or anything. I just find a gif I want and enlarge it to the size of my phone screen. Seems to work good for a bit. Only issue I have is that it will just stop working after a while and my phone will default back to a regular background. May be after a few days or maybe it lasts a week. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the app is quitting. I will just have to start it up again. S21 ultra.
