A curated wallpaper library built around designer collections. The real value is the editorial selection: designers publish cohesive packs, not random image dumps. A daily wallpaper keeps users coming back. Recent updates have drawn criticism for AI-generated content and slower catalog growth. Monetization is transparent: a banner ad at the bottom, no paywall on the wallpapers themselves.
Gelobt
Curated packs with a recognizable aesthetic. Genuinely free access to all content. HD image quality without artifacts in the main collections.
Kritik
AI-generated images in newer packs are not labeled and have visible artifacts. No search bar to browse by collection. The daily wallpaper has started repeating.
Für wen: iPhone users who change their wallpaper regularly and value curated minimalist content without having to hunt for it themselves.

A functional widget builder with an honest concept: use your own photos and assemble a widget to match your vibe. Stability has been shaky though. Widgets show the wrong app, sizes change on their own, and the lock screen section does not work. That said, the core functionality (photo widgets, personalization) works fine for some users.
Gelobt
The 'your gallery in a widget' principle: build a widget around any interest without a single preset template from a library.
Kritik
Widget applies settings with errors: opens the wrong shortcut, ignores the selected size, sometimes duplicates a widget instead of editing it.
Für wen: Teens and younger users who want to put their personal photos and aesthetic on their home screen without extra templates.

Widgy is the most powerful widget builder on iOS: JSON endpoints, custom fonts, photo widgets, and community-made templates. The learning curve is steep. Beginners get lost in the interface and cannot even add an image. Those who figure it out call it 'Photoshop for widgets.'
Gelobt
Deep customization: layers, variables, live data via JSON, community templates. For advanced users it is the only real option.
Kritik
UX is built for developers, not everyday people. Photo import breaks without explanation. The watch widget requires re-applying every 15 minutes in the free version.
Für wen: Users willing to spend an hour on setup in order to get exactly the widget they want.

A specialized app focused on anime wallpapers, and within that niche it clearly outperforms generic competitors. The catalog covers mainstream titles (Naruto, Demon Slayer, atmospheric backgrounds), and some wallpapers are animated. The live wallpaper mechanic is the same as everyone else on iOS: depth effect on iPhone 14 Pro and newer, a nice photo on older models. Navigation by title works logically.
Gelobt: Illustration quality is above market average. Some wallpapers look like work from real fan artists. Animated versions on compatible devices play smoothly.
Kritik: The catalog has noticeably shrunk in recent updates: longtime users report fewer titles than before. Most high-quality entries are behind a subscription or one-time purchase.
Für wen: An anime fan who wants a live wallpaper of a specific character and is willing to pay for quality illustration.

A widget and full-screen clock in the style of airport flip-board displays. Works as an ambient timer or standby clock. Popular with students during class since the large digits make it easy to track time without distraction. Weak spot: ads overlap the interface and in rare cases have blocked alarms.
Gelobt: Nostalgic airport departure-board aesthetic. Convenient as a background timer during class or work. Several users keep it on screen every day.
Kritik: Brightness does not save between sessions and needs to be reset each time. The widget is not animated (digits do not flip, only static). Time format switching is not intuitive.
Für wen: Students and office workers who want large ambient clock digits with a minimalist aesthetic on a background screen.

Countdown does one thing: a countdown widget to an event on the lock screen and home screen. For that job it works well. Custom photo background, custom text, several widget sizes. The widget periodically stops updating on its own.
Gelobt: Simplicity of focus: one event, one widget, right on your screen. Works for weddings, vacations, concerts. Anything worth looking forward to every day.
Kritik: The widget sometimes freezes and stops updating the counter. Cannot easily switch between multiple events in the free version.
Für wen: Users waiting for a specific event who want to see the countdown right on their phone screen.

A countdown widget: create an event with a date and a photo, and the widget shows the number of days on your home screen. The mechanic is simple and works reliably. The free version is limited to one event, which is the main source of frustration. Widget designs are clean and come in several sizes. The counter occasionally slips by a day.
Gelobt: The home screen widget is a constant reminder of an upcoming event. Vacation, date, concert. Easy to pick a photo from your gallery as the widget background. Several sizes for different grid layouts.
Kritik: One event in the free version is a hard limit for anyone waiting on multiple dates. Ads appear inside the widget itself, which looks odd. Weak notifications: no sound alert when the event arrives.
Für wen: People who want to see a countdown to an important date right on their home screen without extra features.

One of the few apps where the widget builder actually works without a mandatory subscription. Some elements unlock through watching ads. The interface targets beginners: pick a theme, pick a widget, add it to the screen. Depth is limited. You cannot freely mix elements from different themes. The app launcher (widget to open apps) requires URL schemes that users have to find themselves, which is an almost insurmountable barrier for 90% of apps.
Gelobt: A free widget with user photos set up in under a minute. Preset themes look cohesive: color, font, and icons selected together.
Kritik: The app launcher only works for apps with a public URL scheme, which excludes most popular ones. Video wallpapers do not apply correctly on some devices.
Für wen: Users who want a good-looking screen from a preset template quickly, without digging into iOS mechanics.

The app can do a lot: create a custom wallpaper, add a photo widget, change icons. But the icons work through iOS Shortcuts. Each 'pretty icon' creates a new shortcut on top of the original app, and the real app goes nowhere. Some users do not realize this and complain about duplicates appearing on screen. The AI background generator works but produces unpredictable results. The widget editor is simple and plain.
Gelobt: The ability to draw your own wallpaper right in the app and enter a prompt for an AI background. Photo widgets from your gallery set up fast.
Kritik: The icon scheme via Shortcuts confuses users: app duplicates on screen, revert on shortcut deletion. The widget editor loses progress if you leave the app before publishing.
Für wen: A teenager who wants to theme their screen around a specific aesthetic and is not afraid to work with iOS Shortcuts.

The best app in the photo-widget niche for your home screen. The mechanic is simple: load an album, and the widget cycles through photos. The one weak spot: after iOS or app updates the widget stops showing images, and this happens repeatedly.
Gelobt: Personal photo rotation on the home screen without extra setup. People use it for goal visualization, reminders of loved ones, daily inspiration.
Kritik: After every major iOS update the widget freezes and shows nothing or the same photo on repeat. Large photos display blurry. No management for multiple widgets at once.
Für wen: Anyone who wants to see their own photos right on screen without complex setup. Especially appreciated by people who practice visualization or simply feel nostalgic.

Mico covers three jobs at once: wallpapers, widgets, icon themes. The catalog is large: anime, kawaii, minimalism, nature. The editor lets you build a wallpaper from multiple layers. App icons work through the same Shortcuts mechanism as Photo Widget: a shortcut appears on screen, not a replacement of the original. Icon packs do not replace icons at the system level. That is an iOS limitation, but the app does not warn users.
Gelobt: Breadth of catalog for anime and kawaii themes. The layer editor lets you combine a wallpaper and widget into a single visual. Progress is saved on app crash.
Kritik: Theme icons only work as iOS Shortcuts: the original app stays right next to them, so the screen never looks clean. Ads fire on every action, breaking your workflow.
Für wen: An anime or kawaii fan who wants to fully dress their screen in one style and does not mind ads.

The strongest result in this batch. The app does one thing: it gives you beautiful wallpapers with no extra steps. Open, pick, download. The free tier uses ads instead of payment. Users come back for new wallpapers regularly. Several reviews mention years of use. Downside: the built-in AI wallpaper generator irritates part of the audience who see it as a threat to artists. No search bar.
Gelobt: Large catalog of quality wallpapers, simple download flow, ad-supported alternative to payment, users return for years.
Kritik: No search, only categories. AI wallpapers turn off part of the audience. The subscription ($30) is expensive for a background app.
Für wen: Users who want to swap in quality photo wallpapers regularly without complex setup.

One of the few in the set where free access is real: users actually download wallpapers without paying, though with a limit of four per day. The catalog is large, with categories for animals, nature, and abstract art. The main complaint: ads cover the Save button, physically blocking you from downloading the image you picked. No search, navigation by category only.
Gelobt: A real free daily download limit, a large and varied catalog, quick save to your photo library.
Kritik: Ads cover the download button. No search bar. The daily free limit stops active users cold.
Für wen: Users who update their wallpaper infrequently and want free access without complex setup.

A time and quote widget in an aesthetic design. A simple idea that works for free. The main problem: widget content is generated automatically and sometimes includes profanity, which is critical given that a significant share of users are younger. After iOS updates the text in the widget shifts and gets clipped.
Gelobt: Free, easy to put on screen, a wide choice of color schemes for the time widget.
Kritik: Auto-generated quotes can include profanity. After iOS updates the widget shifts and text gets clipped. You cannot enter your own text or upload your own photo.
Für wen: Teens and young users who want a quick aesthetic widget without any setup.

ZEDGE is one of the oldest wallpaper and ringtone aggregators with a massive community catalog. Right now though, ringtones on iOS are still inconvenient to install (no direct install path), ads have become more aggressive, and AI-generated content is crowding out real creators in the feed. Wallpapers are still decent in volume.
Gelobt: Wallpaper and ringtone catalog from real creators. Niche styles you will not find in stock collections.
Kritik: Installing a ringtone on iPhone requires several manual steps through Files. The instructions are non-obvious and users regularly get lost.
Für wen: Android users get more out of this. On iPhone it works for anyone who only needs wallpapers from a big catalog and does not expect a smooth ringtone installation.

A catalog of thousands of wallpapers sorted by theme. The main plus is volume and variety: landscapes, abstractions, anime, nature. The main problem is aggressive ads: a banner or full-screen video every four or five images makes browsing unbearable. No search, navigation is manual scrolling through categories.
Gelobt: A large catalog with real thematic variety. Some wallpapers are available free without registration.
Kritik: Ads interrupt browsing too often before you can even look at a few options. No keyword search. Loading is unstable: some images never open.
Für wen: Users who like to change their wallpaper often and are willing to put up with ads for a large free selection.

The app is coasting on the reputation it built during the TikTok customization wave, but today most content is behind a paywall and the free showcase is thin. Icons, widgets, and wallpapers exist, but the actually accessible content is limited.
Gelobt: One place for icons, widgets, and wallpapers so you do not have to switch between three different apps.
Kritik: The free tier is too thin: the same icon in a different color already requires a subscription, which feels manipulative.
Für wen: Users willing to pay for a subscription to get full access to the entire theme library at once.

An app that specializes in anime wallpapers and covers that specific need well: a large image base and a live wallpaper section. The main problem is an ad every 30 seconds or after every image opened, making gallery browsing feel stressful. Some 'live' wallpapers turn out to be static screenshots. The library for specific characters (Gojo, Itadori) is limited.
Gelobt: A wide selection of anime art by series, convenient fandom navigation, live wallpapers for some content.
Kritik: Ads interrupt every viewing, live wallpapers are often static, and character-specific searches return few results.
Für wen: Anime fans who want to quickly find a wallpaper for a specific series and can tolerate ads.

A messaging widget for couples: drawings and notes appear on each other's screens. The key mechanic is a shared widget on the home screen as a persistent 'live sticker' from your partner. It works until sync breaks: the widget freezes on an old frame and does not update without a manual restart. The account is tied to email, and recovering after a logout becomes a dead end since emails do not arrive and drawing history is permanently lost.
Gelobt: The widget genuinely shows your partner's latest drawing right on the home screen without opening the app. The drawing interface is simple: pencil, brush, eraser, no extra layers.
Kritik: Sync is unstable: the widget can lag by a day and manual refresh does not help. The drawing toolbar covers the send button and cannot be dismissed. Drawing history is stored server-side only, so a forced account change means everything is gone.
Für wen: Long-distance couples who want to leave each other visual notes right on the lock screen.

MyScreen offers live wallpapers and transparent widgets. The widget-to-wallpaper alignment feature was once a strong differentiator, but after iOS updates it stopped working correctly for many users. The live wallpaper catalog exists, but most of it is behind a subscription.
Gelobt: A transparent widget that blended with the wallpaper created a 'floating elements' effect on screen.
Kritik: Widget transparency stopped aligning correctly after several iOS updates and has not been fixed.
Für wen: Users who care about the visual effect of transparent widgets and live wallpapers and are willing to pay for a subscription.

A customization app with a coin mechanic: daily logins earn coins to unlock themes. Icons are created via Shortcuts and sometimes create app duplicates on screen. Applying themes occasionally throws a data format error.
Gelobt: The daily reward mechanic keeps users coming back. Seasonal theme updates. A wide selection of styles including pop-culture themes.
Kritik: Changing icons creates a duplicate on screen instead of replacing the existing one. A 'data not in correct format' error on theme changes. Cannot remove a theme after applying it from within the app.
Für wen: Users who love changing their theme with the season or their mood and are willing to figure out the non-standard icon installation via iOS.

Wallpaper Maker positions itself as a wallpaper editor and icon changer, but the execution is half-baked. Wallpaper creation works: you can add images, text, collages. Icon changing via a configuration profile is confusing. Profiles are unavailable on iPad, and the instructions are out of date. Live wallpapers created in the editor become static on install.
Gelobt: The collage editor for creating a personal wallpaper is simple and adequate for basic tasks.
Kritik: 'Live' wallpapers created in the app lose their animation on install. Icon changing does not work on some devices without explanation.
Für wen: Users who want to quickly make a personal photo collage as a wallpaper without worrying about icons and widgets.

A customization combo: wallpapers, keyboards with non-standard fonts, app icons, charging animations. The font keyboards are the main unique feature. After an update the icon installation method changed and became confusing even for existing users. Some content is AI-generated.
Gelobt: Keyboards with decorative fonts (double serif, handwritten styles). Charging animations as an unusual customization element.
Kritik: The new icon installation via Shortcuts conflicts with the in-app instructions. No way to search for a specific wallpaper. Ads appear on every action.
Für wen: Users who want a non-standard keyboard with decorative fonts, and those who want to change their charging animation.

Sticky note widgets on the lock screen and home screen. The idea works: people with ADHD and those who write lists on paper find real value in it. But the app lets them down systematically. Notes do not update on the widget, disappear on their own, or are replaced by someone else's content in other languages.
Gelobt: The ability to pin a reminder right on the lock screen and see it every time you pick up your phone. Color and gradient choices for notes.
Kritik: Notes do not sync with the widget without manually opening the app. Content disappears after switching apps or a long pause. A subscription prompt pops up at exactly the moment when you need to jot something down fast.
Für wen: People who need short reminders right on screen: daily goals, task lists, motivational phrases. Until the app stabilizes, it is a gamble.

ThemePack offers wallpapers, icons, widgets, and themes in one place, but the execution is weak: widgets often fail to install, the gems economy is irritating, and the content frequently duplicates what you can find on Pinterest. Aggressive monetization overshadows any product value.
Gelobt: Themed packs: icons, widget, and wallpaper in one style so you do not have to match them manually.
Kritik: The gems mechanic requires watching an ad for every element, and icon installation goes through Shortcuts where some steps do not execute.
Für wen: The very youngest users who want quick aesthetics without deep setup and who do not mind watching ads.

A widget builder with interactive elements: music player, battery, weather, clock. The standout feature is a customizable widget background with your own photo and music track. The monetization model changed: content that used to unlock with ads now requires a subscription. The app asks users to leave five stars in order to access fonts, which is direct rating manipulation.
Gelobt: A widget with a background photo and a track. Non-standard customization. Keyboards with unusual fonts keep users around for years.
Kritik: The battery widget displays an empty rectangle for some users. Medium-size widgets stopped working after an update. After reinstalling the app, free slots reset and hit a paywall.

ThemeKit offers icon changes, widgets, and wallpapers through a single interface. The main mechanic is watching ads for content (diamonds). Installing a full icon pack requires hours of cumulative ad viewing.
Gelobt: Icons look clean. Installation via a configuration profile instead of Shortcuts is faster than the standard path.
Kritik: The diamond economy makes getting a single theme a multi-hour grind. No way to buy a pack directly without micro-grinding.

The app has collected a themed pink-and-purple collection, but editorial control is absent: next to pastel gradients sit doll categories and content with profanity, none of it age-filtered. The intrusive rating prompt blocks wallpaper downloads and frustrates even loyal users. Repeated images reduce the sense of depth in the collection.
Gelobt: A genre selection in a popular color palette (pink, purple, blue) that makes it easy to find the right mood without searching.
Kritik: No age filtering within the collection. The forced-rating mechanism is built into the download loop and cannot be bypassed with a 'never' option.

A large wallpaper library with style-based collections. The app has not been updated in over a year: the most recent calendars are dated July 2025 and seasonal packs have stopped shipping. The selection was historically solid, but the stagnation is killing the service's value.
Gelobt: A wide range of styles and moods. Some wallpapers are genuinely high quality, especially historical collections. iPad users appreciate the good adaptation to larger screens.
Kritik: Content is not being updated. A price discrepancy between the App Store listing and in-app ($79/year) confuses users. New wallpapers do not appear after payment.
Für wen: Users who want quality ready-made wallpapers without searching on their own, assuming the developer resumes updates.

The core problem is ads on literally every tap: browsing a section, picking a widget, applying one. Every step is interrupted by a video. The icon set does not cover all popular apps. Spotify and some others are missing.
Gelobt: Wallpapers, widgets, and icons in one flow. Several themes work for free by watching ads.
Kritik: An ad after every tap destroys any creative flow. Icons do not cover the full standard set of apps. The interface is non-intuitive for new users.

Handy promises live widgets, animated wallpapers, and icon replacement via configuration profiles. Animated widgets stop on their own and require a manual restart. Icons are implemented as Safari bookmarks: they open Handy, then the target app. The free version is nearly empty.

An icon and widget pack with an emphasis on Christian aesthetics (Bible verses, themed icons). Icon installation goes through Shortcuts, a multi-step process that breaks on app reinstall. Widgets stopped saving for some users after an iOS update. Support does not respond to inquiries.
Gelobt: Specific Christian content not found in other apps. A one-time purchase instead of a subscription, which some users consider more honest than the market standard.

The app offers widgets and screen themes, but the App Store listing does not mention in-app purchases even though they are there. That is direct deception. Widgets install via iOS Shortcuts, which confuses inexperienced users. The vast majority of themes are behind a VIP subscription. The free content is so stripped back that the app is functionally impossible to try before buying.
Gelobt: A variety of thematic styles. Rare themes like K-pop, anime, and minimalism all in one place.
Kritik: The App Store description hides paid content. Widget installation requires multiple Shortcuts steps that confuse users. Almost everything is VIP-only.
Für wen: Users who already know how to work with iOS Shortcuts and are looking for niche fandom themes.

Brass was once a stable customization tool with transparent widgets and an icon library. Now it crashes massively when opening the widget tab. The regression happened after an update and has not been fixed. Icons still work, but the widget functionality is effectively broken for a large share of users.
Gelobt: Transparent widgets with precise wallpaper alignment used to outperform competitors.

Positioned as a 4K live wallpaper library. Without a subscription, ads load consistently. The wallpapers themselves do not. A common complaint in reviews. Some live wallpapers do not work on iPhone due to iOS system limitations that the app does not warn about. The catalog contains irrelevant NSFW content that users encounter unexpectedly.
Gelobt: A varied catalog of styles. The option to watch ads instead of paying for some content.

A wallpaper aggregator with ad monetization. Content exists but there is no search: finding a specific style is difficult. Ads are aggressive, up to two minutes with no skip button before a wallpaper is shown. It is like Google Images filtered for screen size, but without the convenience.
Gelobt: A wide selection of wallpapers across genres. AI-generated options are available.
Kritik: No search bar, so finding a specific style is impossible. Ads block the content before you see it. Downloading requires paid access after watching ads.

The app offers icon, widget, and theme changes. The iOS icon-changing mechanic requires installation through Shortcuts. Many users do not understand this, and the in-app instructions are absent or unclear. Most content is behind a subscription starting at $25 per year. Themes look attractive in preview, but implementation trips up on the iOS technical barrier.
Gelobt: A visually rich icon and theme catalog: Y2K, minimalism, nature styles. A successful install genuinely transforms the look of your phone.
Kritik: The icon installation process is opaque with no step-by-step guide inside the app. Most themes are behind a paywall at a high price. The app persistently asks for a review.
Für wen: Advanced iOS users willing to work through the Shortcuts mechanic for a custom home screen look.

A large wallpaper library: animated, anime, nature, minimalism. But downloading anything becomes a quest: an ad before viewing, an ad before downloading, totaling three to five minutes per image. Some ad videos have no close button even after the timer expires. On iOS the live wallpaper feature is technically limited by Apple, which the app does not disclose.
Gelobt: Catalog variety: anime, nature, abstract art, people. Some animated wallpapers work correctly as depth-effect wallpapers on supported models.
Kritik: Ad load makes every download a tedious ritual. The coin system is opaque: you accumulate coins through ads but a specific wallpaper may cost more than you expect.
Für wen: Someone patient and unbothered by ads who primarily wants a wide range of visual styles.

A wallpaper library in a street and youth aesthetic: rappers, athletes, game characters, anime, quotes. Content is aimed at a teenage audience. Downloading each wallpaper requires watching an ad or subscribing, and some users report ads even after paying.
Gelobt: A wide selection of culture-specific content (NBA, rap, anime, soccer). Quotes as a separate category appeals to part of the audience.
Kritik: Ads do not turn off even with a paid subscription, which destroys trust. No tool to create your own wallpaper even though users expect it. Age-restricted content (weapons) without filtering.
Für wen: Teens ages 12 to 17 who want wallpapers of their favorite artists or game characters and do not mind ads.

The app builds a showcase of pretty icons and widgets, but almost everything is behind a paywall from the first screen. The free layer is so thin that users never understand what they are buying. Navigation is opaque: people tap randomly and land on a payment screen. Icons amount to solid-color fills, minimal design effort.
Gelobt: A quick visual vibe on first launch. A few widget templates are available without payment.
Kritik: Almost all content requires payment upfront. Icons are just color fills with no variety. The interface does not explain what you get for your money.
Für wen: Teens who want to quickly dress up their screen in pastel tones and are willing to pay without thinking it through.

The app has seen better days. Text-and-color wallpaper search was a strong mechanic, but over the past year content has not been updated, and search increasingly returns random or repeated images. Users who valued it for years are leaving in volume.
Gelobt: Text and color-based wallpaper search in one place. A rare combination that other apps do not offer. A massive base of static and live wallpapers.
Kritik: Content has not been updated in months. Search stopped working correctly and returns the same image over and over. The app crashes when opening Favorites.
Für wen: Users who have been searching for wallpapers here for years and have not yet moved on. Not a place for new users right now.

Themie offers ready-made themed packs of wallpapers, widgets, and icons in one style. In practice, there is limited content, themes load unreliably, and everything valuable is behind a subscription. The app survives on ad traffic, not on product quality.
Gelobt: The concept of themed packs (wallpapers, widgets, and icons in one style) is convenient when the content actually loads.
Kritik: Themes fail to load even with a good internet connection. Content disappears after switching phones. Pushy gem mechanics instead of a direct purchase.
Für wen: Audiences who need a quick themed screen redesign without digging into settings, but only if the content loads reliably.

The app installs custom icons via a configuration profile, an unconventional path that makes some users anxious. The main failure: icons write 'empty' on install and never appear. The theme preview mechanic exists but is unstable.
Gelobt: Ready-made themed packs where icons, widgets, and wallpapers are assembled in one style. You can preview the full theme look before applying.
Kritik: Icon installation breaks and returns 'empty' for a system bug that has not been fixed in months. Installation via a profile without explanation scares users. Themes from a previous phone do not transfer to a new device.
Für wen: Users who want a unified icon and widget style without manual setup. But while the 'empty' bug is unresolved, installing is risky.

The app positions itself as a wide 4K wallpaper collection but in practice consists almost entirely of Sanrio (Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll) and San-X content. The 'New' section is not updated and users see the same wallpapers on every visit. No search. An ad after every other tap. Downloading is unclear for new users since the button is not obvious.
Gelobt: For Sanrio and kawaii audiences, a ready-made selection without having to scour the internet. Free access to most content.
Kritik: The content niche is far narrower than the name implies. No search and irregular updates make repeat visits pointless.
Für wen: Sanrio and kawaii fans who need a quick free selection without customization.

A set of themes, widgets, and icons with manual installation via Shortcuts. Icons are applied one at a time, with no batch apply. The calendar widget is frozen on 'Saturday 20' and does not update. The core content is small and shows no signs of updates. Users note AI-generated icons instead of real screenshots in ads.
Gelobt: The concept of a bundled theme with icons, widgets, and wallpapers in one style is sound. Some themes look cohesive.
Kritik: Icons open the Weather app instead of the intended one. A Shortcuts issue, but users blame the app. The calendar widget does not work. Content is not being updated.
Für wen: Users who want a ready-made theme out of the box and are not afraid of manual setup, assuming the mechanics work.

The app is called 'Photo Widget - Themes' but is actually about wallpapers and icons. The photo widget works and longtime users note its usefulness for a rotating photo gallery on screen without unlocking. However, after updates widgets started loading with a white or black background instead of an image. The charging animation via Shortcuts requires setup that breaks on some devices. A lifetime subscription is pushed aggressively.
Gelobt: The photo rotation widget works reliably for longtime users. There is a charging animation.
Kritik: After iOS updates, widgets display white and black blocks instead of photos. The charging animation often does not trigger. Everything interesting is behind a paywall.
Für wen: Users who want a personal-photo widget on their lock screen and are willing to pay once.

Lock screen widgets with a romantic lean. The mechanic: watch an ad for each widget. Ad rewards frequently fail to register and the widget still does not appear. An account is required even for a basic countdown timer.
Gelobt: Aesthetic lock screen widgets that are not available in standard iOS tools. Event countdowns, decorative elements.
Kritik: Watching an ad does not guarantee you get the widget. The reward system glitches. Almost all interesting widgets require payment. Mandatory account creation from the first seconds.
Für wen: Teens and young users who want a custom lock screen with timers and decoration. Until the ad reward system is fixed, the experience is unpredictable.

The app monetizes through gems with an opaque exchange rate: 75 gems for watching two long ads, while the content you want costs 500 gems. The alternative is $1.45 per day ($529 per year). Every action (download an icon, collect a daily bonus, change a widget) comes with one or two ads up to a minute long. AI content is indistinguishable in quality from stock wallpaper packs.
Gelobt: A wide themed library with anime and K-pop styles that draws a specific audience. The app's own visual design is noted as clean.
Kritik: The gem system creates an opaque barrier: you do not know the real cost of content until you have already spent time watching ads.
Für wen: K-pop and anime fans looking for themed customization who are willing to trade time for ad viewing.

The app positions itself as a free set of aesthetic wallpapers and widgets, but in practice the free version includes only three or four fonts. Everything else requires a subscription. The close button on the subscription screen does not always work. The content looks fresh with lots of pastel and Y2K aesthetics, but you cannot touch it without paying.
Gelobt: The catalog's visual style is carefully curated. Rare directions like cottagecore and dark academia are included.
Kritik: Complete free-tier lockout while being marketed aggressively as a free app. Some users cannot exit the subscription screen.
Für wen: Users willing to pay for a subscription who want a curated aesthetic library for a specific style.

A screen theming app with a wallpaper and widget collection. Themes are applied via shortcut links, not natively. Navigation has no search: all content must be browsed manually. The theme selection is limited and, by users' accounts, mediocre in quality. Setup instructions are unclear for beginners.
Gelobt: The ability to put custom text on a wallpaper. Some galaxy and nature scene wallpapers were popular with part of the audience.
Kritik: No search bar in a large catalog. Theme application is multi-step and non-obvious. Some icon shortcuts open a browser instead of the intended app.
Für wen: Teens who want to customize their screen around a specific aesthetic (sunset, galaxy) and are willing to spend time on manual setup.

The app advertises 3D live wallpapers, but in practice delivers static images: the live animation only plays while you press and hold, not as a system Live Photo. The promised 3D effect in ads is significantly exaggerated. The subscription activates immediately on tapping 'Continue', and users report unexpected charges. The app crashes after the trial ends.
Gelobt: A wide selection of visual styles. An editor to overlay your own photo is available.
Kritik: 3D animation does not match advertising. Wallpaper 'liveness' is limited to a tap gesture. Aggressive subscription onboarding. Crashes after the trial period.
Für wen: Users who saw a specific wallpaper style in an ad and want to recreate it. They will not get what they expected.

ThemeWall claims '10,000+ wallpapers and themes.' In reality there are about 400 images and no themes at all. Users who purchased via AppAdvice promotions receive a non-functional premium: ads remain and premium content stays inaccessible. The app survives through distribution via promotional aggregators.
Gelobt: Some wallpapers are good quality. Basic category navigation is clear.
Kritik: Content volume is ten times less than advertised. There are no themes at all. Ads do not stop even after payment. Purchases through promo aggregators do not activate premium.
Für wen: Not applicable. The product systematically misleads on expectations.

A collection of HD wallpapers in an urban and street style. The content is genuinely liked, but ads after every tap make browsing impossible. Users literally cannot scroll to the wallpaper they want without three ad interruptions. Some wallpapers that claim to be HD look blurry on modern displays.
Gelobt: A wide thematic collection. Rare styles like street art and urban aesthetics. Simple downloading.
Kritik: Ads after every action, not a metaphor but literally. Some wallpaper quality is below the advertised HD. The catalog is barely updated.
Für wen: Users who are willing to put up with ads for a specific visual style they cannot find elsewhere.

Positioned as an AI wallpaper generator, but reviews contain not a single mention of a specific prompt, style, or result. Users with real experience complain that without a subscription you cannot download a single image. The generation limit per day frustrates even paying subscribers.
Gelobt: The idea of generating unique wallpapers on demand through AI is a sought-after format for personalization.
Kritik: A daily generation cap cuts into value even for subscribers. The paywall blocks any download on the free tier.
Für wen: Users looking for unique personalized wallpapers through a text prompt. The actual quality of AI generation cannot be assessed from available reviews.

Live wallpapers with parallax and animated scenes. The catalog looks good visually, but most content requires a subscription or one-time purchase. Some users report that live wallpapers stop animating after install and only the static frame saves to the lock screen. Ads pop up every two images.
Gelobt: Some live wallpapers genuinely animate and look impressive: moving particles, liquid gradients. A no-subscription category with a basic selection exists.
Kritik: Live wallpapers often do not animate after install. To move the wallpaper you have to shake the phone, which is a non-obvious and inconvenient gesture. Almost the entire catalog requires payment.
Für wen: Users who want an animated lock screen background and are willing to pay for a working implementation.

The core problem is not price. The main feature people download the app for is unreliable. Live wallpapers on iOS after iPhone 13 require a special depth-effect format that the app does not always generate correctly. The downloaded file ends up saving as a regular photo with no animation. Additionally, the app changed its age rating to 18+ without explanation, alienating much of its audience.
Gelobt: A wide catalog of nature and abstract live wallpapers. On compatible models the animation looks high quality.
Kritik: Applying live wallpapers is unpredictable and depends on device model and iOS version. The app does not warn users about incompatibility.
Für wen: Owners of a supported iPhone model who want live nature wallpapers and are willing to check compatibility before downloading.

A dynamic wallpaper and theme catalog where ads appear after every two or three wallpapers viewed. Users leave before choosing anything. Live wallpapers are not animated by default. You need to press and hold the screen, which stopped working with iOS 16.
Gelobt: A large free catalog. No forced subscription for basic browsing.
Kritik: An ad every two or three wallpapers is too frequent for passive browsing. Live animation requires pressing and holding the screen, which does not work on modern iOS versions. Navigation is linear with no search.
Für wen: Users willing to put up with ads for a free catalog. If ads bother you, this app is not for you.

A themes, widgets, and icons app that has seriously degraded: content that was once partially free through ads is now fully behind a subscription. Purchase restoration does not work. The app crashes on new devices on open. Some themes in the catalog show a gray preview and are inaccessible.
Gelobt: A wide selection of themes with unique styles. The ability to apply a comprehensive icon theme via Shortcuts.
Kritik: Purchase restoration is broken and users lose paid content when switching phones. Crashes on new iPads. No catalog search. Some theme previews are inaccessible (gray screen).
Für wen: Users who want a comprehensive icon and widget overhaul in a unified style, but only if they are prepared for an unstable experience.

Widgets appear as an empty white or black square after install. This is a systemic problem reported independently by multiple users. The small widget stops working after a few days for no visible reason. Adding an image to a widget requires a paid subscription. The core product (the widgets) is technically unstable.
Gelobt: A large selection of pre-designed widget layouts with custom photo support that attracts users who want to personalize their lock screen.
Kritik: Widgets do not display after installation (empty square). The app's core claimed feature does not work for a significant share of users.
Für wen: iOS users who want attractive widgets on their lock screen and are willing to pay, if they actually worked.

The app promises gravity-responsive 3D wallpapers that react to phone tilt. In practice the animation does not start when you turn the device. Wallpapers apply as static images. The wallpaper creation tool opens something that resembles a fake interface. Does not work on iPad at all. Ads every 30 to 40 seconds, making it impossible to explore the app between videos.
Gelobt: Visually attractive previews with particles and effects in the catalog.
Kritik: The core mechanic, gravity and 3D, does not work on most devices. Ads literally every minute. The wallpaper creation tool leads to a non-functional interface. iPad is not supported.

The app's main promise, live wallpapers, does not work. Nearly every review at every rating level reports the same thing: wallpapers are static after install. Files do not save to the photo library. Content has not been updated in well over a year.
Gelobt: The static wallpaper catalog is fairly rich. There is an on-screen phone preview before applying.
Kritik: Live wallpapers do not move on any device. Saving to gallery is confirmed but the file never appears. The app has not been updated in over a year.
Für wen: Hard to recommend. If you only need static wallpapers with no extra steps, it theoretically works, but you are better off finding an alternative.

The app sells itself as a live wallpaper maker, but there are no live wallpapers and no editor in reality. Most users find only static images. Animation does not work or is subscription-only. The gap between promise and reality is the defining characteristic of this product.
Gelobt: A categorized selection of static wallpapers. Installation takes under a minute.
Kritik: Live wallpapers are not live. That is the core mechanic of the product and it does not work. Setup instructions lead nowhere. Ads from the first second.

The app does not open live wallpapers: they either fail to load at all or save as a static photo. The onboarding flow is so opaque that users with active subscriptions cannot figure out how to apply a wallpaper. The catalog is thin and mostly locked behind a paywall.
Gelobt: A categorized collection. Some free options for users willing to figure it out.
Kritik: Live wallpapers are not live after saving. That is the core feature and it is broken. Onboarding does not explain the flow: downloaded, now what. The collection is barely updated.
Für wen: For those who only need a static wallpaper gallery with no pretension of animation, and even then with caveats.

The icon editor works through a Shortcuts mechanic: each icon creates a separate shortcut bookmark on the home screen, and you cannot delete them from within the app itself. Nearly all content is behind a subscription. Users trying to recolor icons get duplicates on screen with no way to clean them up.
Gelobt: The concept of a unified icon, widget, and wallpaper editor in one place. Some users value the 'theme as a system' approach.
Kritik: The Shortcuts mechanic litters the home screen with shortcuts that cannot be cleared from within the app. Almost no free content.

The app blocks all content at first launch and requires a subscription. Some users report a scheme where the app offers free wallpaper downloads in exchange for a five-star review, which explains the anomalous five-star share. Real user experience boils down to a payment screen.
Gelobt: The visually attractive preview catalog. 3D wallpapers and live backgrounds look impressive in screenshots.
Kritik: Content is behind a paywall from the first screen with no preview at all. The '5 stars in exchange for a download' scheme inflates ratings. Real users do not get what they saw in ads.

A universal iPhone wallpaper gallery that falls apart in use: ads trap the user in a loop (hit back, another ad), and some categories never fully load. The content is genuinely varied, but getting to it is nearly impossible because of aggressive monetization.
Gelobt: A large and varied wallpaper library across genres.
Kritik: Ad throttling makes navigation impossible: closing an ad starts a new one. Some categories do not load. A forced rating prompt appears on first open.

Themed icon and widget packs for iOS with customization through Shortcuts. The core problem: the icon installation guide is outdated and does not match current iOS. Users get stuck on the 'scripting options' step, which no longer exists in the interface. Content is limited and paid.
Gelobt: Specific themed icon packs with a unified visual language.
Kritik: The installation guide is outdated and does not work on current iOS. About 10 themes total, each with only 5 widgets. No custom widget import. The subscription is expensive relative to content volume.

The app is broken on iOS 26: paying users cannot save themes, wallpapers, or widgets. The icon-changing mechanic requires reinstalling a shortcut bookmark every time you make a change. An ad block fires on every tap. The 'Trending' section shows Christmas themes in June. Content is not kept current.
Gelobt: The concept of bundled themes (icons, wallpapers, and widgets in a unified style) is in demand among the customization audience.
Kritik: Completely non-functional on current iOS even with a paid subscription. Ads on every action make the free mode unbearable.
Für wen: Would be interesting for bundled-theme fans, but in its current state is non-functional on iOS 26.

The first screen on launch is a mandatory subscription with no close button. Users who manage to get past it face confusing video tutorials for installing live wallpapers and ringtones. At $14 per week for features competitors give away free, the value proposition is untenable.
Gelobt: The idea of combining live wallpapers, ringtones, and 3D effects in one app is potentially interesting for this audience.
Kritik: An onboarding paywall with no close button blocks any introduction to the content. The installation tutorial is incomprehensible without prior experience.

Live wallpapers often fail to animate after install. There is at least one review complaining about unauthorized charges via Apple.
Gelobt: The preview catalog looks varied. There is a 'depth' category with a parallax effect.

The app requires a subscription at $7.99 per week before the user sees a single image. The Continue button on the start screen initiates payment without explicit consent. Navigation is a single-item scroll without a grid preview, making finding a wallpaper extremely slow. The iPad version receives separate positive mentions for rare high-quality horizontal wallpapers.
Gelobt: For iPad, there is a rare selection of horizontal HD wallpapers that is difficult to find in other apps.
Kritik: Onboarding initiates payment without showing any content. Single-scroll instead of grid turns selection into a lottery.
Für wen: iPad users who need quality horizontal wallpapers and are willing to navigate the subscription.
