2 ★ Love the idea. Def has something going for it. Just isnt quite right yet. Def need #Muzei support. Would b great. Also settings to choose if u want to use just one,2,or all the options. Needs 2 b updated. Maybe gradient coloring in the background that changes for weather and time of day. Google's experiment team surely can do better. But its All right?
4 ★ Love the idea of having a "flat, material" background that does not take away from my app layout or is too busy and provides useful information. My only complaint is I wish I could decide on the colors and maybe shapes of each. If that were possible, 5 Stars easy!!!
2 ★ I don't like the new update. Only because I can't choose which wallpaper I want. I only want the signal wallpaper; I don't care for the others. Until I get that back you guys get a two. Also, it would be really cool if we were able to choose the color palette for the wallpaper. That would you guys a strong five. Just saying.
4 ★ The information for battety and WiFi adore displayed incorrectly. If I have 50% battery it looks as if I have 25% because the diameter of the inner circle is half its original not half of its volume. This is the same for the WiFi signal. Please correct this issue.
2 ★ Something changed and do not like it now. Five stars is what I would have given this app prior to losing the option to select which meter (battery/wifi/notifications) is shown. With that option gong, this app is useless 50% of the time by default as I ONLY want the battery meter shown. Bring back the selection of which meter is shown please.
2 ★ It was much better when I didn't have all background types cycling on me. Not sure why the option to choose which ones I wanted were removed. On the subject of choice it would also be grand if I could choose what color each would be and perhaps even which shape.
3 ★ Battery level is hard to read. Needs to be different color to stand out.new update does not allow to pick battery or data setting . still cannot see wording on screen due to color.
1 ★ Why was this removed? Makes no sense. I don't need to see my network, I just loved the battery meter. Would also be great to let us customize the colours.
3 ★ V1.0.1: I don't want the wallpapers to cycle, I just want the battery. Still waiting for smoother animations, colour customisation and maybe you guys could add a different battery animation, like a pillar with 'liquid' in it something like that. V1.00: The animations aren't smooth enough and the lack of customisation bothers me!
3 ★ Was happier when I could use this as a battery meter. Now I'm stuck with a dumb triangle I don't want. Please give back the settings!!
4 ★ The only thing stopping this from being 5 stars is that something's that have persistent notifications show up as a notification on the wallpaper and is very annoying. I.E. Google weather notification on 7.1 and also Google play music when music is playing. But other than that I love it.
3 ★ I'd like to have the ability to select just battery again. I know my WiFi will be strong all day, and my notifications make the notifications visualization redundant. Battery was the only very useful visualization to my.
3 ★ Was way better before, you took away all of the things I liked about it in the first place. Give us back our settings! :-)
2 ★ This was great when I used to be able to show only the battery.... Now it's lame and cycles through the other ones I don't want to see at all.
4 ★ Just downloaded few hours before writing this and already love it. Fluid, looks good, works well. Even a fun built in accidental game. Hold the phone upside down and try to get the dot to the middle of the screen (battery level wallpaper, works best on a bed). That being said, could use improvement. Selection of which to use would be nice. For the WiFi, it would be amazing if the triangle was the signal strength, or an option to be, getting more or less filled in as the signal is stronger/weaker.
