MKBHD launched the Panels Wallpapers (just called Panels on Android) app this week. The YouTuber personally curates high-resolution digital wallpapers from artists, but unlocking them costs $12 per month or $50 per year.
Who is mkbhd and why should I care
He is one of the largest tech reviewers on YouTube and you should care because his platform is big enough for him to be able to actually influence a lot of people and even companies.
Think I’ll stick to wallpaper engine for Android, at least I can transfer wallpapers from my PC and only ever paid like $5
Okay, genuine question: why pay for an app like that at all when you can make any image your wallpaper for free? I mean, I like mine:
Spoiler
The Android app was free, the PC app was only like $5 and I got it years ago. It lets me migrate my wallpapers from PC to Android and have consistent live wallpapers across devices.
I didn’t know it could turn your desktop into a toy, I thought it was more like all those other wallpaper apps which just “help” you switch between images. Have you found the live wallpapers to be much of a battery drain on Android?
Because Wallpaper Engine lets you do a hell of a lot more than just static images. It’s exactly what it says on the tin. A software engine that you can set as a wallpaper. Think video wallpapers, touch effects, audio responsiveness, or straight up fully rendered 3D environments *

I have no idea how much of this actually works on Android. I’ve only used it on PC
edit: video (recommend watching on mute)
Another pointless article nobody will read.
Maybe you could just not use it? It seems like everyone is getting mad over something that doesn’t need to involve them. I persoanlly wouldn’t use this but I respect peoples choice and the free market.
