Never heard of it. Why do you need an app to download wallpapers in the first place?

And nothing of value will be lost.

I spent $50 a year on wallpapers once as a monthly subscription. It was to support an independent artist that hand painted video game scenes I enjoyed, produced 1-3 new paintings per month, granted access to his back catalog, and the deliverable was high quality scans I could download and use at my leisure.

Since he is an artist, and you could feel that each painting took weeks to complete, I felt justified.

Never had a desire to pay for an app with generic wallpapers though, or to financially support someone who generates my annual salary per sponsorship deal.

How fast was that fucker driving again? in a residential area, with "watch out for the kids" signs if I remember correctly.

Edit: 96 in a 35 mph zone

Users will receive automatic pro-rated refunds for active subscriptions, and the app code is promised to be open-sourced after shutdown.

That's the correct way to wind down a cloud based subscription app.

Not that I'm in favor of the entire business model of cloud based subscription apps, but at least Marques is ending this one the right way.

Genuine question: who bought this?

Not much to this for most people unless you did buy any of the wallpapers made by artists on there when it had its inital hype. If you did, best to download and back those up ASAP

I totally forgot about this app because, well, it seemed pretty forgettable.

I'm also not in the target demo since I currently have my wallpaper set to whatever my phone wants to rotate in and out every hour from my Photos app.

Well that’s a shame for the 5 people who used it.

full proprietary circle

open-source never dies

Lol good riddance. I cannot stand that smug twat.

Wallpaper App? Like WTF? Isn't a wallpaper just whatever you put there and that is pretty much freely available?

PAY!!! I don't use wallpaper at all, but if I did, I couldn't imagine paying!

I remember when it first launched, people managed to get the wallpapers for free somehow. Managed to get them too and they were nothing really special and of course some were AI-ish.

If anyone is looking for a great wallpaper app that supports a good company, Wallaroo from Icon Factory is absolutely fantastic and supports good devs that have made great software for a long time.
