This is awesome! What's the idea behind the sizing/cropping of the images? It seems that the pictures saved are squares and then you have to readjust when you set them as wallpapers. Since I can adjust the view in the app with the clever horizontal scroll, it would be neat to save that view as a picture, it would fit the screen size perfectly?

"What's the idea behind the sizing/cropping of the images?"
During development, the first version was downloading photos cropped to size equal to phone resolution. But I found out, that sometimes it missed important element of photo :( That's how I figured out horizontal scroll. Dimension of photo is 2x width, height of screen resolution.

Well, you can do it later, after saving photo. Of course I thought about saving that view as a picture, but gyro is so sensitive that is a lot easier and accurate to do it later, when setting wallpaper.

@rurza@unchumbelge I realize this is probably an OS limitation, but is there any way to keep it scrollable? I'd love to set an over-sized image and then go to different parts of it when swiping left or right.
@charity_amis iPhone main Settings -> Background. If you have iPhone 6S(+) or 7(+) just press firmly on app icon (wanted to keep UI as simple as possible) :)

@rurza Oh okay. Awesome! Thanks! I'm not sure if you mentioned that in the opening on the app. If not, I would. Nice way to take advantage of 3D touch too.
I tackled the same problem a while back, also going for a clean, minimalistic approach. I really like your vertical scroll with the horizontal panning approach. Slick implementation. I get the flexibility of saving as a square, but tend to agree that given you have the horizontally panning, I'd personally prefer just to save it straight to device resolution, honoring the current horizontal pan. I've got an update in the works for mine, I think you just gave me the motivation to finish it :). Here is my take on it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/...

One suggestion... having a way to switch "sorting" from within the app. Maybe either have the sorting at the top... or adding an opague cog to adjust the sort.
