Hi! I've made this app because I love Unsplash. I wanted super smooth, 60fps scrolling experience where I can see photo optimised for my device. And I made it. Scroll vertically, tilt device to scroll photo horizontally, touch and hold to save it. Simple :)

@rurza this really looks like Polarr's Logo, but better and bolder. Polarr also has an filter collection made by Unsplash and it supposely gives your photos the "Unsplash Look".. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...

@rurza thank you thank you thank you!

@bwang29 @rurza I actually thought it looks like the Android Boot screen

@bwang29 Wow, I never ever seen this app. :) Fascinating! Background logo was inspired by Siri waveform, especially color blending.

@plexkits @bwang29 never seen this as well :( Everything is a remix

I can appreciate the simple UX used here, kudos on the intuitive scrolling - but not at the cost of a search feature. Am I supposed to just scroll until I hopefully find something I might be interested in? Seems like that would be key to your MVP, both from product and data perspectives. Or maybe I'm taking this too seriously.

@jimmyamash Hi Jimmy, don't worry :) I'm thinking about: a) native profiles, b) search, c) curated collections (patterns, seasons, main color etc.)

I know that there are some problems with API request limit :( Working with @unsplash to resolve it :)

Just downloaded it to try it out and it's as dope as it sounds.
Ross Blankenship
Yes. This is awesome. Back at it again @Unsplash and the Crew team!

How do I access the menu/settings and change what feed of wallpapers I'm seeing? 😕
Adam
Maker
@keanetweets Settings -> Background. If you have iPhone 6S(+) or 7(+) just press firmly on app icon (wanted to keep UI as simple as possible) :) EDIT: I mean, iPhone main Settings :)
Simon Keane
@rurza Ah, got ya! Neat :)

God yes this is awesome. I'm tired of using sketchy ad-filled apps to find backgrounds. Great work. Would love to see scrolling be "paged" in the sense that scrolling down will scroll image-by-image, not a continuous scroll (think home screen, not Instagram).
Adam
Maker
@markbao There is paging, kind of. If you use inertia with scroll, photo will stop exactly on edge. I was experimenting with typical paging (like on iOS home screen) and it felt a little clunky :)
Mark Bao
@rurza Hmm, I don't think I'm seeing this on my side (latest iOS, iPhone 7+) - when I try to inertia-scroll (that means quickly scrolling, right?) the view just goes past multiple photos.
Adam
Maker
@markbao right, but eventually it will stop on full photo :)

Lovely app Adam. @lukechesser and I played around with it at the office the other day. Super simple and straight to the point 👌
Luke Chesser
Super clean and easy to use. There have been a lot of wallpaper apps that have used the Unsplash API, but this is definitely my favourite iOS one I've seen yet. Love that you clearly credit the photographer and let the details of the photo stand out by not cluttering the screen with a UI. It's the same approach we've used for Unsplash and it's great to see your unique take on it :)

This looks awesome. I put it on my wife's iphone and she loves it. Any chance for Android support as well?
Adam
Maker
@gammons nope, sorry :( I don't know nothing about Android :(
