Hey Product Hunters, I’m from the Wallpaper Wizard team. We’ve put a lot of effort into this app and we’re celebrating our launch today! 🚀 Ask me anything or just share your thoughts so we can make the best wallpaper app in the universe :)
@daria_staverska1 Thanks for the question! In short, we have several sources: websites with CC0 images (unsplash, pixabay), personal connections with authors and also we’ve partnered with depositphotos.com so part of the content is licensed from them.
Also, we have an editorial team who manually select images and group them into nice collections by theme + there is an imagga.com integration under the hood, so each image is tagged to simplify search in the app.

@_n1ks Just curious and not wanting to criticise one of my fave companies, but you mention 'launch' and 'a lot of effort', but for a 1.9.4 version that happens to share the name and functionality with the old HD wallpaper app Wallpaper Wizard by VOX makers Coppertino, can you share what differentiates the two? Or is it the same app, with a brand new UI? Also: will there be a trial version? And what's the price of the in-app purchase?
Report
@_n1ks Reading the reviews helps I guess. The in-app purchase is $5, so the total cost will be $15. Also: no 5K Wallpapers yet.
@sam_ayres Isn't this something you can say about the absolute majority of apps? You can do most stuff manually, for free, but if paying a few bucks can spare you the time and pain it takes, it's probably worth it.

@alice_kotlyarenko I'm just curious how the price was decided, 10 dollars for an app is a lot when you can recreate it's purpose in under 10 minutes?
Especially when there are free alternatives like wallcat (https://www.producthunt.com/post...)
You are right about being able to do a lot of paid app stuff, manually for free, fair point.
@sam_ayres Well, you can also find a song you like on iTunes in under 10 minutes, but why would you want to do that if there's Spotify with millions of songs that are already there and already good? I guess it all boils down to how much you want/like/need what the app does.

@_n1ks downloaded the app - 9.99 is a lot but still paid - set it to a wallpaper I liked but every time I switch between desktops... Wallpaper Wizard 2 goes back to the first wallpaper that comes default. no upvote from me!
@nathan_schorr Hello Nathan, probably there is a default wallpaper changer turned on ( settings->desktop & screen saver -> uncheck 'change picture'). If that won't help would be glad to help you, just ping our support@macpaw.com

@macpaw@_n1ks thanks but it is not that, i will contact support

@macpaw@_n1ks Wallpaper Wizard doesn't work with multiple desktops, bummer for me and all the other multiple desktop users!
Also, if you didn't know, Wallpaper Wizard 2 is also available as a part of Setapp subscription (along with other 87 apps for a monthly fee of $9.99). Learn more here: https://setapp.com/apps/wallpape...
