Ratings and reviews

It is a great Wallpaper app, and can take a lot of already great wallpapers and make them even better. The reddit function is also really great. My only issue is that I don't know if the save wallpaper function works. Either it's broken or I can't find the save location but there has been no indication of anything being saved and I've looked everywhere through the files and found nothing so I assume it's broken.

My one gripe is I wish there were options for parallax scrolling of the rain along with the wallpaper. There is scrolling of rain, but only in the opposite direction of the background. It ends up looking jarring and attracting too much attention to itself. I understand that if the rain was on a pane of glass thats how it would behave, but its still distracting, and I wish there was an option to move with the background. Instead, I have to choose between the rain and the background scrolling the way I want.

The fact that it can use reddit for photos that change is already amazing. I wish there was an option to have it changed every time the phone unlocked but that's just not picking. This ap literally looks like rain on a window or something similar and I just can't get ove how amazing it actually looks.
