Live Wallpaper App Reviews

In a nutshell it looks pretty interesting indeed with nice graphs. Downside to it is that my CPU GFX CORE and CPU PECI DIE raises from 40 degrees C to 95 with an ubrupt increase of fan spin from 4000 rpm to 6500 rpm. With the increase of temp, decreases the lifespan of the HW in this case to half 2/4ths. Based on this rated 2 and will change to 1 star if not planned optimization in due time.

Works as advertised, ~21 themes (a few moving, most of them are still) to choose from, but what it deosnt say is that it takes up quite a bit more ram than ordinary wall paper. For me its 211mb for a still wall paper and 250+ on a live wall paper. If you have a 4 gig macbook like me, that can become a factor if youre playing an intense game.

When I first installed this app, I loved it. But when I turned off my computer and turned it back on, that all changed… The Auto-Launch at Start-up never worked properly, and sometimes the time would bug out and be completely wrong. When I made the decision to get rid of it, it still didnt work properly. The background of the theme I had been using did not go away. I could change it in System Prefs, but when I restarted my computer, it came back! Not the right time for that Launch at "Start-up thing" to start working. I even removed the app from the "Launch at Start-up" List from within System Prefs, but that still didnt work. I had to eventually use Terminal Commands to get rid of it, but that was not without hours of digging to find a fix for it!

Lots of bugs

This app is always crashing when you are opening other apps, other than that, it is really easy to use.

this app is crashing all the time. it wont even load the theme that i want. i tried to restart my mac, reload the app, deleted it and downloaded it again, the wallpaper still doesnt show no matter how many times i tried to click it. i know this is only 99cents but i still paid for this app with the expectation that it actually works and not crash on me all the time. my mac is running on os x 10.8 btw. i hope for a better update on this app: less crashing and more wallpapers

Wont Open

I love this app, but I downloaded the new update just now and now the app wont even open. Hopefully this is fixed soon.

Have been using it a while and am generally happen although would like to have more animation & themes. However the last update has completely broken things - on a restart it is running but no theme is showing - changing themes has no effect, although occasional it exits/crashes the app itself

update killed it

The program was working until the latest update. Now, it does not do anything beyond letting me set my preferences.

Mykeljon1 v2.2 · 13 years ago

used to be good...

This app worked great when I first got it. Now, whenever I try to change the theme, it does not work. Nothing happens. Please fix the problem!!!

CarlosDouh v2.2 · 13 years ago

Tomic73 v2.2 · 13 years ago

Fix it you Grinchs

Update for Christmas and killed it, please fix it already I paid good money and really enjoy this app!

Sinsaer v2.2 · 13 years ago

When this software works, Id give it 5 stars, but it rarely works. It worked as advertised for about a month but quit working altogether now and I ended up just throwing money away… thankfully it was only 99¢, but its still wrong.

swervilicious v2.2 · 13 years ago

Won

It was awesome in the beginning. With the new update its not working. Waste of money!

#disapointed v2.2 · 13 years ago

For those having problems...

look on the developers facbook page. theres a process described to help fix the app until the next update

Macattack111 v2.2 · 13 years ago

I cannot acces my desktop at all (screen) for example, I cant see where my folders are but i can see the icons and use them on the bar. Ill change my rating if you get an update fixing this ;(

Kang2000 v2.3 · 13 years ago

this app is totaly worth it

but one thing you should be able to do is set your own walpaper other than that the app is great :D

Dark bean v2.4 · 13 years ago

Pretty good, I didnt want to fiddle with much configuring so that was great. Only useful for seeing time/weather. Any other "live" features like the snow are horrible, the snow chewed through my CPU to around 80% - ouch. As far as others complaining about changing your location, this version I had no trouble changing it to Toronto. Accurate as well.

Works flawlessly - very happy with the purchase, Awesome App! And by the way, you can change the background wallpaper on any theme to any picture or image you like. Pick a theme, then under settings, you will see an option called Wallpaper. Use it to change the background image. Very nice App - well worth the cost.
