WallpaperZ - 8K Wallpapers 4+

Well polished app, but concerning subscription model

I’d love to see the option to “unlock” a single wallpaper from each stack rather than only provide the first most option for free users. I totally understand a service like this will need funding over the long term, but only giving people the first most picture of a stack feels very limiting and encourages a lot of users to immediately start a subscription which concerns me about the direction this app will take when making decisions about what is and isn’t locked behind paywalls.

However, with that out of the way, the app is super simple to setup and use. I really like the goals they have which include being community focused, choosing quality over quantity, and ensuring compatibly on all devices for everyone’s wallpaper needs. With a large enough community and finding the right balance to incentivize ongoing financial support, I can see this being the one-stop-shop everyone goes to in the long distant future.

Hey Wilson,

Thank you so much for the feedback! This is super helpful!

Your ideas are actually really good. We can indeed consider the option for users to unlock a wallpaper of their choice from every pack, rather than the first one. We'll need to find a good way of implementing this and making it obvious to the user (something better than showing all packs locked until you tap on one).

When I started WallpaperZ, I wanted to make sure that it can be used entirely for free, if someone chooses to do so. Therefore, we need to make this better for our users and we will consider your idea here.

In the meantime - we'll be dropping lots of new packs starting from October. So even-though you only have 10 free wallpapers now, you'll have dozens and eventually hundreads, with more packs launching.

And also thank you for the kind words! That's the idea indeed - for WallpaperZ to be built by the community's ideas and requests :)

With all your feedback, we can take WallpaperZ to the next level!

Thanks,
Daniel

Great job!

I have been following you for years. I like what you are doing with your app. To preface what I’ll say next (I am a User Experience Designer). It is smooth and too the point, but the bars on the bottom for scrolling into the stack. I would try to make the target bigger and or make it vertical so you don’t accidentally keep scrolling through, the button for download does not read well as download. Other than that it is a nice smooth app and I like that you call out the artist , I will definitely be trying it out more and sharing it.

Thanks a ton, Josh!!!

And thank you for your UI feedback! We’ll look into improving it 😁

More packs coming each week, starting from the first Friday of October!

Thanks,

How do you subscribe?

Most mobile apps beat you over the head with subscription pop ups. I'm not complaining about that part as the developers are trying to run a business not a mobile app charity. This is the only app where I've been unable to decipher how to give them money. There's a reviewer who mentions eventually finding a padlock icon which they clicked and were then able to subscribe, but I spent about 10 minutes looking for the padlock and have so far come up empty. Maybe it's staring me in the face and I'm an idiot.. But designing mobile apps is a lot like designing equipment for the military... We're working towards the lowest common denominator... Which in this case is me, the standard issue simpleton. Help me out here.... I'll even give you $2!
