Ratings and reviews

Looks great and lots of options!! My problem is, FORCE CLOSE when picking picture for CUSTOM BACKGROUND. Otherwise, perfect!!! 2/7/16... Still does it on different device. 9/6/19... There hasn't been any updates since 2012 so, obviously, all the bugs and glitches still occur. Tsk-tsk, dev. Shame.

Well it is a really cool app and would like to give it five stars, but every time I try to put background on even if I drop all other settings on it, it freezes up. Thought it was an amazing idea, but having rain drop pixels with a blank background.... Nope, I'm good on that and am disappointed because my nieces and nephews were looking forward to goofing with it on my screen after I had finished it. Can still, but I myself was disappointed.

I hadn't touched this wallpaper since at least 2015, solely because of how battery-draining it was on my old phone. I got a newer model a couple of months ago and figured now was a good time to get it again. It's still really pretty, but it has issues that have yet to be fixed. For one, the Depth option STILL isn't useable, and also trying to put in a background, even one that I had purposely downscaled, crashed the app, forcing me to reinstall it. Hopefully this gets updated soon...

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.
