I like it. It's easy to use and really cusromizable, but it hasn't been updated since 2012, and every time I try to use any custom background the whole thing crashes and won't start up even after force stopping the app or restarting the device. It would be really nice to have a custom background instead of the boring solid color. It kinda drains the battery, but I wouldn't really mind it if I could at least use my own backgrounds.

Great for Low Res phones I had this wall paper on all of my previous phones, but then I just got the LG G3 which has a 2560x1440 resolution. Because the pixels are limited to only 30px wide, it looks kinda like crap. Having an option for high res phones would be nice. Still giving five stars though, because it's the best wallpaper I've ever used.

This Wallpaper is great. However it hasn't been updated in quite some time. And a feature I find particularly broken is the custom background image option. As no matter which picture I try it crashes when previewing the live wallpaper with the custom image. I would really love it if this could be fixed. Then I'll rate this 5 stars. Otherwise it's a great live wallpaper.

Best live wallpaper I've used this on numerous devices over the years, it's my absolute favourite wallpaper. The customization options are plentiful, the image is crisp, just a really beautiful piece of programming.. If you can afford the battery usage lol.. I don't use it on my cell for this reason, but I have an android headunit in my truck and as very happy to get this back in my life!

Best live wallpaper I've ever used This is my first app rating and I had to for this live wallpaper, it's that awesome. Most free live wallpapers have really limited settings, or bombard you with ads, this app does neither. It has great customization and no ads (that I've seen so far). Plus it just looks so cool! Amazing app all around, I wish all free live wallpapers were this well made.

The real deal This background is amazing! The background is light on the battery, is super customisable from almost every detail, and is the most perfect background I could ask for... Why did it take me so long to find this? Get this! I loved it and so will you! Digital tron rain. Big thumbs up to the dev.

Not bad at all But stopped working after I tried to set a custom background that crashed it every time I tried to set it, disappointed as its pretty cool. UPDATE: Did a restart and it seems to work fine now.

A Google User August 4, 2012

What a pity.... Its an awesome live wallpaper but it makes my home screen go black for at least 5 times in a row after I exit from an app. Also drains 30% battery overnight. Other than that I am very pleased with it so pls fix

Joe Watts December 1, 2014

Love it!!! But... I'm on a Sony Xperia Z1s and cannot use a custom background behind the rain. Every time I pick the image from my gallery it force stops. I showed this background to my friend who's on a Galaxy S3 and is having the same issue. We're trying to use our favorite sports teams as backgrounds behind the rain with their colors. Fix this issue and I'll rerate it at 5 stars!

Jose Garcia July 29, 2016

Is this wallpaper dead? This is an amazing wallpaper but it hasn't been updated since like 2012. I see great potential in this app but I guess the developer gave up on it but one of the main problems would have to be the slight stutter. Other than that this app is good. I just wish the developers would have kept up with it.

stevie conklin June 27, 2013

:3 Love it. Reminds me of Nyan cat. Tee-hee owo Excellent work. I love how you can change the background and even select a photo from you gallery. Thanks a bunch! Even though it lags sometimes, its worth it for the pixels :3

Steve Marston January 6, 2013

Exactly what I wanted This wallpaper is subtle yet aesthetically pleasing. High level of customization, doesn't seem to slow my phone down. I haven't tested how it affects my battery, but I have a large screen so having the screen on is normally a drain. Would absolutely recommend!

George Williams March 5, 2015

Makes me smile Love it. Really brightens up my desktop, with a reasonable amount of options. I have trails and multi colour. It doesn't seem to have hit battery life and works well without blocking out apps in the foreground.

Blank October 15, 2015

Doens't let me put a background wallpaper Lowest res i tried was 400x600, which is horrible and even that didnt work. And you should define "big pictures". Also let people to put any picture they want, but with a crash warning.

Noah McCarthy November 27, 2015

Must have!!!!! If you want an interesting live wallpaper than this is the one to get. It's so customizable that it's almost ridiculous and almost like having a game run in the background. However, it will affect your phone's performance a slight bit. It constantly takes up 30 ish megabytes of ram running in the background but it's SOOOOOOOO worth it. If you love interesting things and you have prefomance to spare, get this.

Brandon Alexis July 8, 2015

:-) Perfect I had it before I'm That type of person who would always change his background but I had this for over a year now first on my phone and now on my tablet and I haven't chances it ever since and I like how you can change the background to any pic you want.. Having issues with it now

A Google User November 28, 2012

Great, but needs optimization Amazing wallpaper. Only gripe is that the animated pixels seem to slow down a bit after a few seconds of turning the screen on / moving around home screens. The lag is noticeable when you stare at the pixels, so fix this, please!

A Google User June 20, 2012

Wow! I wish you would make money off your full version. You've done an amazing job. I love this wallpaper. My best wishes...

A Google User June 3, 2012

Sensation 4g ics Excellent live wallpaper... Extensive customization settings, allowing you to create a wallpaper in tune with you. No annoying push ads(disable ads via settings menu). Does not impact home screen performance much at all, unlike most live wallpapers. Highly reccomended download.

Vector Lightning July 30, 2015

Amazing Just beautiful, I love it. Really like how customizable it is, and it looks like fireworks with a few tweaks! Default is amazing too tho, I love it. Any chance of a Daydream variant? but what's this ad for the Pixel Suite? I get no results when searching.

Aries Mitchell July 9, 2016

Really cool Very simplistic but I like how you can customize the color and where it falls on your screen and if you want them to explode when you touch them...never had a glitching problem where they stopped moving

A Google User April 10, 2012

EFFECTS ARE AWESOME! It was really cool.!! No ads at all and I love its pixelated raindrop effects.So far, this is the only live wallpaper I've seen very cool and you can change its setting freely.

Jelle February 2, 2017

It's cool, but when I want to use a custom wallpaper with the app, the entire live wallpaper freezes (even in the preview) and the toast with telling me it was 'successfully applied' stays on screen. Other than that it's really cool! P.S. I'm using nova launcher prime, I don't know if that's important

September 16, 2015

One of the best I had low expectations for this wallpaper but tried it anyway. I was wrong. This is one of the best live wallpapers I have tried.

Earl Cousins December 14, 2014

Toast ad is annoying. FYI: If I couldn't turn it off, I would have uninstalled after years of use.

A Google User May 7, 2012

It's very pretty but.. It makes scrolling through my home screens very choppy on my Xperia PLAY, which is a shame :(

A Google User April 17, 2012

NS4G Just got the official ics update. In the settings/color menu the colors aren't visible anymore from the list. You have to select "color 1" etc.. to tell which color is which.. Small issue, everything is great besides that. Been using off and on since Christmas and its my fav wallpaper.

A Google User September 29, 2012

Better than many paid Wallpapers I've paid for more than a few Live Wallpapers that are not anywhere as nice as this one. It's brilliant and is great on the Captivate, Galaxy Note, and Nexus 7.

Darkus4223 October 1, 2014

Great wallpaper Just one problem, many options alone can crash it, so if you could remove some of the crashing options, thanks

SoulKittyKat December 5, 2016

Can't use custom image for background I pick a custom image, but nothing ever shows up. Uber lame.

PingasMaster83 February 25, 2016

Amazing This is one of the best live wallpapers I experienced.Although there is a small bug when you wanna use a custom image.I click use custom image and then it said unfortunately pixel rain live wallpaper stopped.Plz fix A.S.A.P,Then I will rate 5 stars

Sylvain Gauthier March 27, 2016

Like it but... Love this LW, used it in the past too. There's a bug when you select a custom wallpaper, the app freezes. I need to flush app data for it to run again. Please fix this.

Shadow Heart December 27, 2014

💖Best Background Ever!💖 ❤❤❤Love it! Absolutely perfect. So many customizable options which I adore. So beautiful yet gamer. No ads or having to pay for anything. Make more like this please. I just can't stop fangirling over it. ❤❤❤

A Google User March 27, 2012

Clean and sharp Blue raindrops is the best color to fit my galaxy nexus theme..

kaylie young May 10, 2015

I love this app It's a great app! It's just that I can't set my own background image. Everytime I try it crashes. I would give it five stars if it didn't crash.....

A Google User September 26, 2012

So far so good Really nice live wallpaper. You can run multiple colors for different effects. Currently have it set to blue, green, red, and yellow drops for a nice Jellybean OS theme

A Google User April 9, 2012

Brilliant I've tried many live wallpapers and they're all the same, rubbish. But this one different, its great! Nothing else to say. I love it!

A Google User July 1, 2012

Awesome app! Great little app, works flawlessly on S3 and it's free. Any chance we can get pixel bombs on the next version? :D

Vinicius Willer A. H. October 15, 2014

9 outta 10 why: no ADs. yet no complication, strait forward. simplicity. and look like have a low FPS. independent of configuration (unless if you set all in high)

A Google User October 28, 2012

Geeky Cool! I have The Blue Kuban rom on my Sgs2 and every blue tweak to go with it. This completes it. I also like how simple it is and that it doesn't load you down with unnecessary ad's and such. Thank you for making this really nice wall paper!

What's New

Added market link to Pixel Suite in preferences.

Added toast ad for Pixel Suite that can be disabled.

Added option to manually change color of collision outline.

Temporarily fixed an issue where Pixel Rain would crash when attempting to create large background image. For the moment it will not create them instead of crashing. Use smaller images until fixed permanently.
