he critized google, samsung every year about those future updates meanwhile he doing worst 😂 talking everytime apple privacy but this wallpaper app collecting all ur private data lol😂
I mean he didn't say "guys, buy this thing because we will be updating it", he just said there will be future updates. Whether you decide to wait for those updates or buy right now is up to you, he didn't try to convince you to do either.
Honestly, the pricing model feels out of touch. I get supporting artists, but there are better ways than this subscription trap. MKBHD should know better.
I’m struggling to comprehend the disconnect. You don’t need to pay a subscription. I downloaded a few free wallpapers from the app, and they look fantastic on my phone. This is a very niche market. If you want to access additional features, you can. Both options are available for those who want it. Everyone wants everything for free. Well, not everything is free. Regarding the pricing structure and percentages, let’s be realistic. Who’s doing the heavy lifting? One of the largest tech channels out there is actively promoting the app, showcasing it in every video, and personally taking the brunt of the negative feedback when the public doesn’t appreciate something. He should receive a 50% share. It’s as if the world expects everyone to be free, and if you dare to open a business for profit, you’re somehow a villain.
@@JJohnson313 no you are not. And YOU are either trying to gaslight people or you are really not understanding what people dislike. Either way, i‘m sorry for you. This is quite a disadvantage in day to day life..
@@erebostd Or, maybe I have a different opinion than you do because of lived experience? They disadvantage you appear to have in life is apparently jumping to conclusions, thinking your understanding is the only understanding, using person attacks instead of having discourse, and responding so fiercely to a nicely worded and well thought out comment.
@@JJohnson313 wow, so much self-praise in one comment 😁. You didn’t understand all these people, you didn’t understand me, but obviously we all are the problem, not you. Sure.

You don't have to go through all that hassle. If you wanted to you could get all wallpapers from the dumb app for free because the security measures on the app was dogshit and someone back engineered it within 30 minutes lol.
@@boltez6507 But it's MKBHD and he's not a small business . And app security has nothing to do with being a small or large business. It depends on how you develop it. It doesn't necessarily cost a lot to make your app more secure.
For every UA-camr who looses their integrity, several new ones do pop up. I watched vids from creators in a quality that led me to believe that they must be some very well known huge creator, only to discover them having like 3 thousand subscribers. Everyone who gets known and rich at some point either quits the business before loosing their integrity, or they do loose it in front of the camera.
One of the questions I have is why does he feel the need to do this? He is already rich. It is not like he is desperate for money or what not. Why did he even think of making extra money off his fans with a subpar product at best and a scam at worst? This is very uncharacteristic of MKBHD. I am deeply disappointed in his decision-making.
Greed. It gets every wealthy person eventually. He’s rich…but he could be richer! And it’s only 50 bucks - as someone with a net worth of around 50 million dollars, i highly doubt that he’s even capable of grasping what 50 bucks are for normal people. Some few people are different, but he’s obviously not one of them…
maybe he might be rich now , but it's hard to sustain the lifestyle for a very long time, who knows he might get cancelled in future and lose the majority of streams of income. He is just in 20s, need to store that bread till retirement, the high inflation will make sure diminishing wealth
@@erebostd Good point. He might not understand that people don't have that much money to throw around. That is sort of psychopathic of him though because he understands that that "little" money adds up to him becoming much richer. So, he basically is siphoning off money from his fans with a very terrible product. A very disgusting behavior. 🤮
@@cat12-b7i I was thinking of that too, but it is not like his job is professional sports where his body would age and become less capable. I am sure with his skills and intelligence, he could do a regular 9-5 like the rest of us and get by. It is psychopathic of him to siphon off money from his fans who have to do the 9-5 with a horrible product. Who does he think he is? 😠
He wants us to pay 50$ a year to have a wallpaper on the screen? You already can have any pic you want for free even if its low quality you can enhance it with AI also for free
@@emman100 you didn't download the app, and look, you're completely fine and unaffected! So, I wouldn't call pricing something in a way you don't like disgusting :) it's a wallpaper app, not a cure for diabetes.
@@Pensandoci9 Right. One of the wallpapers was called panacea. I thought it would cure all my illness. Jk. I was saying his behavior is disgusting. The context of him being trusted by people and anti-scam makes his behavior disgusting.
If you pay 50 dollars a year and it’s a 50/50 split between artists that means that they are getting like 25 dollars. I think most people are just better off getting patreon of other small artists that do wallapapers. You are probably spending less and giving more support to artists.
I agree with you and I am subbed. I cannot believe you are a small creator. The video is top notch quality. Keep up the good work and call out sellouts. 🤝
I’ve been working in React Native for about 4 years. I’m primarily a backend developer so I’m not very good at it. I think I could crank out a better app in a week or two.
We should become acustomed to create our own wallpapers! Is it that hard to point the camera to something we like, snap the pic, then make it a wallpaper? Are people THAT dumb, or lazy to do that simple task? Why should i give my hard earned money to a fricking app? REALLY??? WOW! The world we are living in right now, is falling to pieces! 😞
Yup se here for years .. most all big youtubes are just sell out now... if you want like reviews of something go to smaller youtubers because they are not a sell out and try to make the video long 😂
Brutal! lol - but can’t dispute your criticisms… I’m not against the subscription model exactly, but it just has to be worth it, and the Orange and Teal wallpaper is hilarious lol… they have to spend more time in vetting their contributors… Personally my phone wall papers are of my dogs, so this app is of no interest to me to get for myself. But props to you for a thorough review!
I was really disappointed at how bad the app is. I started to lose a bit of respect for MKBHD in 2021 when his reviews stopped being reviews and became a negative banter 15 minute video.
lmao you absolutely destroyed those so called "artists" 😂 he has, its mainly ai.. much respect to people like you who are actually shooting real shots! love it. i unsubbed MKBHD. he is a shill and a money hungry dude with no integrity. who's to say he doesn't do reviews for money. great video!!
Thank you so much for subscribing! 🙏😊 I'm glad the app led you to my channel, and I hope you enjoy the wallpapers. More cool content coming your way soon! 👍
I’m more disappointed about what the app is like wallpapers bro wallpapers… If it was a useful app or something more exciting I’d be happy to pay $50 a year but for wallpapers nah that’s just not it you can literally find free high-quality wallpapers everywhere.
If only relationships came with a "subscribe" button, right? 😅 But hey, just like UA-cam, sometimes the best connections show up when you least expect them! Thanks for joining the community!
Lol the problem is with people who think some UA-camrs are saints while some are devils, without having met them once. People are people and people are greedy and so on…. Thats just how it is, no point in complaining, dont buy it if you dont like the price
dude literally talks the most popular topics under the umbreella of "tEcH" (do not confuse with actual technology) and covers lack of scrutiny and actual expertise with expensive editing. What is surprising phonies like him get so many followers
Should have sold each wallpaper for 0,5-1 dollar a piece. Simple as that. I would totally buy one myself occasionally. But instead, he made a fool of himself. He criticize products often. Now he’s getting some critizism of his own.
I totally agree with you. I'd love to share a dollar or two from time to time with an artist that deserves it for their work. But the subscription option is not the greatest idea imo. Thx for the comment!
Yo! Love the hustle, but I noticed you’re using my thumbnail on your previous vid with a few added tweaks! Which is interesting considering the topic of this video. Next time, maybe hit me up-I can share some tips. Keep up the grind!
Hey @JoshuaChang! First off, I owe you an apology. I recently got access to the "compare thumbnails" feature and while trying to figure it out I got a bit lazy and ended up using your hand with a smartphone from your thumbnail instead of taking my own picture-definitely not my best move. I just ended the "thumbnail test" and used my original one. As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of your content and sometimes draw inspiration from creators like you, but I know I should’ve gone about it differently. I really appreciate the call-out and the positive vibe of your message. Next time, I’ll definitely hit you up for tips. Thanks for understanding, and I’ll keep grinding!
Also, if u pay 50$ you should get nit only usual picture walpapers but also live wallpapers that are really high quality. Or interactive ones (like the planets wallpaper in iPhones with smooth beautiful animation) [although idk whether the animation thing is open source, its apple lol, and whether they can create sth like that]
My problem with this is not even the pricing it is that he thought make an app when he could have just shown people where he got his wallpapers. Walli is an app and suspiciously similar to the panels app especially with all that permissions. There is literally no need to gate-keep this.
I dislike youtubers so much they are like vultures looking for the next carcass to pick apart whilst feining sainthood. This channel, Marquez's channel and the cartoon breakdown-channel that decides to throw their 2cents because Marquez's made an app. It's expensive don't buy it.
1080p is plenty for a phone. That's nearly 300ppi on the largest phones. You're not going to notice a meaningful difference from their 500ppi counterpart.
Ive unsub to mkbhd like 5 years ago 😂 ill sub to you because you actual put work into taking pictures going out there yourself... i love small tech or small youtubers because they show and review real productivity and not become a ad/sell out marketing 😂..
I can already do this for free with iOS. Push and hold screen during lock mode and it zooms out to a bunch of custom pallets and wallpaper and colored themed setups, and then boom, you got your mood and vibe ready to rock. This is a money making scam
I know that 4K is getting more prevalent, but 1080p is full HD and more than enough for a phone wallpaper, I don't know why they call it SD. And It won't look pixelated. I am watching this video on a 24 inch screen on 1080p and it's not pixelated, so on a 6 inch screen I'm sure it's more than fine. But I guees it's on them, because the app itself call it SD.
The other UA-cam reviewers should be glad he did it. That way they have something to talk about. All I have been seeing are them trying to review the iphone 16 trying desperately to fill a 15-minute video reviewing a phone with basically the same features as the last one. Even MKBHD s review wad a stretch.
Yeah, I had similar feelings about this. That's why I just focused on the tips for the new iOS 18, because that's where we actually got some significant updates. The new iPhones are simply not ready yet without all the AI stuff they promised but not delivered.
1. Samsung gives you loads of wallpaper for free. 2. Windows provides wallpapers regularly and they are actually from actual creators and not AI generated. 3. Anyone can get loads of free wallpaper from Pinterest and set your phone to change regularly. 4. There are even apps that allow you download high quality images and have several categories from cartoon characters and anime, to nature and animals. Honestly, MKBHD messed this up big time. It's wild.
People always put these influencers on a pedestal. People need to remember that influencers like MKBHD are tech reviewers for a REASON! There’s a reason he’s a tech reviewer and not a software developer, product manager or product designer. It’s because he has no skills in those areas. Anyone can review products, not everyone can build them
Most of the artists are members of his own staff.
That’s an interesting observation. Thanks!
Homies over Bros! Lol

It depends on what you compare them to. There are earphones that cost thousands of dollars so $200 can be cheap and good value for money.
lol? 200$ earphones are premium
I don’t understand why people pay for wallpapers, stick with your device wallpapers, your pictures or make your own wallpapers
lol you will understand when you either: A. make more money or B. lose some IQ points.
In the year of 2024, people still pay for wallpaper? Most people who are not really "techies" have pictures of their dogs or kids.. or plants lol
Top constructive criticism. Long time ago I've seen a channel this small with such a differentiated view

I can already do this for free with iOS. Push and hold screen during lock mode and it zooms out to a bunch of custom pallets and wallpaper and colored themed setups, and then boom, you got your mood and vibe ready to rock. This is a money making scam
I know that 4K is getting more prevalent, but 1080p is full HD and more than enough for a phone wallpaper, I don't know why they call it SD. And It won't look pixelated. I am watching this video on a 24 inch screen on 1080p and it's not pixelated, so on a 6 inch screen I'm sure it's more than fine. But I guees it's on them, because the app itself call it SD.
Nice. Gotta keep him honest!!
Dude you just nailed it.
Appreciate your efforts. Thanks man....
The other UA-cam reviewers should be glad he did it. That way they have something to talk about. All I have been seeing are them trying to review the iphone 16 trying desperately to fill a 15-minute video reviewing a phone with basically the same features as the last one. Even MKBHD s review wad a stretch.
Yeah, I had similar feelings about this. That's why I just focused on the tips for the new iOS 18, because that's where we actually got some significant updates. The new iPhones are simply not ready yet without all the AI stuff they promised but not delivered.
Miles ahead is the truly promising upcoming person
Stupid is as stupid does. Easy to be the critic but hard to be the creator, MKB finding out.
Great review sir
Great quality of content. Subscribed!
1. Samsung gives you loads of wallpaper for free.
2. Windows provides wallpapers regularly and they are actually from actual creators and not AI generated.
3. Anyone can get loads of free wallpaper from Pinterest and set your phone to change regularly.
4. There are even apps that allow you download high quality images and have several categories from cartoon characters and anime, to nature and animals.
Honestly, MKBHD messed this up big time. It's wild.
Excellent take
made a mistake there: they dont split REVENUE 50/50 but PROFITS. so much less.
Thats how people start acting when they get greedy always be humble .
I just don’t know why I’d want an app for wallpapers. I change my wallpaper maybe once every two years and I’ll just use google
People always put these influencers on a pedestal. People need to remember that influencers like MKBHD are tech reviewers for a REASON! There’s a reason he’s a tech reviewer and not a software developer, product manager or product designer. It’s because he has no skills in those areas. Anyone can review products, not everyone can build them
I had no idea he was charging for AI generated images and solid colors... thats insane
