Wallpaper Engine

Happy to finally see wallpaper engine come to Android devices! The UI is simple, allowing a quick and easy setup. There aren't any ads, truly being a free addition to those who purchased the desktop application. Many of the negative reviews I have seen either lack understanding of how an app like this has to function to work or rate it overly poorly due to lacking features they want. It does what it needs to do and it does it very well.

Exceptional. The app so easily connected to my computer where I was able to transfer over the wallpapers. The performance is great as well with plenty of options for each wallpaper. I've had only two problems; when I first applied the wallpaper I was given the option between home or lock screen but after choosing home screen I can no longer choose the lock screen. The second problem I had was that the pre-rendered option for the wallpapers didn't work for me and just showed up black.

I was unable to connect to my PC via wireless connection, so I had use a USB to transfer it. Once it was done, it worked like a charm on my phone. Two things I would want in a future update, if possible, is the option to have audio play on the homescreen and mabye add more display options so that wallpapers fit better and not get cropped out.

Almost good. Missing a lot of features but hey it works. They can only improve the app from here. Would be nice if I didn't have to keep the app running and it would run a background process instead. No audio either but that's understandable, would be nice if you can choose to have audio or not but whatever. A zoom in/out feature would be nice too as cover zooms in a little too much. Good job regardless

Been hoping for this long before it was announced. It's unfortunate that wallpapers can't be downloaded directly, but that can't be helped at the moment, seemingly. I wish the app had more options adjust wallpaper settings, though. Not a full-on editor like on Windows, but something more than what we have. I also wish the app allowed wallpapers with audio to play their audio, though I'm not sure Android allows for that. Overall, this is a good app. I just wish it had a bit more to it.

Looks and seems to work fantastic on a Samsung S10+. One thing I noticed is I couldn't get any audio responsive ones or ones with audio to react/play audio. I don't know if it's a bug, setting I missed it just not implemented yet. But high hopes for this app, as it's the counter part to one of my must have desktop applications.

When I heard that wallpaper engine was going to be in Android, I was hype and as soon as it was released I downloaded it and it doesn't disappoint at all. For starters you can bring over your steam wallpapers to the Android version of wallpaper engine and it doesn't affect the wallpapers at all but, it only changes the size said wallpaper, you can also change the effect that are seen in the PC version if the author add support for the effect like changing the color. All in all it's a good app

This app works amazingly! I was so excited to hear this app was coming to mobile and the wait was worth it! My only complaint is that the wallpapers don't seem to play audio like the PC counterpart. I was also confused with setting the wallpaper cuz after choosing between home screen and lock screen it doesn't ask you again, but I found out that holding the button gives you the prompt to choose between the two again. TLDR; Amazing mobile port, wish they added wallpaper audio like the PC version

I'm new to wallpaper engine, but this app is really amazing! I would love to see wallpapers being able to go on the second screen of a dual screen phone (such as my LG V60). Unless there is a way to do that and I just missed it, I would like to know how. And like other's have said, the difference between high and balanced is enormous. Other than that, this is probably one of the greatest apps ever.

Amazing to finally have Wallpaper Engine on mobile! However, that doesn't come without its issues, namely; wallpapers have a considerable amount of aliasing around the edges which were not present in the source video/wallpaper. This issue also manifests itself when importing video files from internal storage. This may due to the app not supporting the 4K resolution of my phone screen or something to do with the rendering backend but who knows. We are so close to achieving perfection! Pls fix

I absolutely love wallpaper engine. So excited it's got an app now. Sending the wallpapers from my PC to my phone works perfectly. I had to experiment a little with the settings to find what works best for my phone but once I got down it works amazing. I see minimal effect on my battery life, wallpapers with too many additional features (audio responsive, multiple effect layer, etc) were eating up my RAM so I just chose other ones from the workshop

Didn't even know this was coming out and got super hyped when I saw it. Very exciting road ahead of this app. Sadly, I've gotten a bug a couple times that makes the app crash repeatedly. The only fix I've found is to reinstall, forcing me to have to re-transfer my wallpapers and reupload the ones from my phone. This really sucks (obviously) and will probably put me off using the app deeply until Android or the app dev comes with a fix. Regardless, I know it'll come around eventually. Cheers.

It's a great wallpaper app. It does what it's supposed to and everything functions as it should. It even has battery saving features that help to save battery life when you turn on battery saver on your phone. However, this app uses a lot of battery. I had a live vaporwave wallpaper background, and I would find myself having to charge once a day (even without much use). I use a S22U.

I like the PC connectivity to bring over saved wallpapers, plays back well. what I don't like is the playlist management. The options to set timed rotations or time of day settings consistently crashes when you try to adjust the times/numbers.. so I'm stuck manually changing wallpapers when I feel like it ie. Work hours into off time, let me schedule my anime wallpapers appropriately PLEASE (I'll update the review when this is fixed)

Genuinely amazing. I always loved my simple and calming wallpapers that I use across my computers, so it was just such a nice surprise to find this app on my new phone and be able to send it my favorite wallpaper straight from my computer! (Depending on the wallpaper)It even has all of the settings that it does on the PC version. Hue shift, animation speed, saturation and contrast adjustment, etc. Thank you for bringing this app to Android!

The app works very well in most cases and I've loved it up till recently. The only reason I'm saying 3 star and not 5 is that there seems to be an unmarked limit on wallpapers. I add a batch of 50 randomly here and there to spice up the rotations, but the last batch I added I noticed all of my original wallpapers I had were no longer in the app at all! Well over 300 and most with custom rotations and sets, gone. This either needs to be fixed or if a limit exists, it needs to be clearly stated!

its been having problems with me (running version 2.5.1) and its functionality is a little limited. i wish we could crop, zoom, etc. better with the various wallpapers so they would work better and while it can be overlooked with having a playlist you might enjoy, the list seems to be duplicating selections in a bug and there are times that the wallpaper just doesnt work and you just see a default background for your phone meaning you go back and start it up again. please fix
