Find the Perfect Wallpaper

Wallpaper apps are fairly common in the App Store – there`s something for pretty much any taste. The problem with some of these apps though is that they’re too focused on one theme.

Backgrounds HD takes a much more comprehensive approach by providing you with 45 different categories of wallpapers and most categories contain more than 100 different wallpapers each. If you like a little variety then this app is a great choice.

There are a couple of issues with this one though. You will have to contend with some ads in the form of banner ads along the bottom of the screen. There’s also no help section of any kind and there are some unique features in this app that would be easier to figure out with a little help.

The other thing that’s a little disappointing is that you can’t save the wallpapers as your background of choice from within the app – you have to save them to your photo gallery first which is a bit inconvenient. This app will require 12.7 MB of available space on your iOS device.

Main Features

Backgrounds HD’s user interface is extremely user friendly. When you open the app it defaults to a gallery displaying wallpapers that have been viewed most recently by other users.

You can simply swipe up on the screen to scroll through the available wallpapers and to select one you like all you have to do is tap on it and you’ll be able to view a full paged preview.

A really cool feature of this app is an option that allows you to preview what the wallpaper would look like on your iOS device. To do this you just tap on the eye icon in the top left corner.

If you don’t like the wallpapers in the default recent category there are lots of others to choose from. To select a different category you use the menu icon in the top left corner.

This will bring up a navigation menu that will allow you to search the categories in several different ways, and there’s also a settings tab on this menu with some basic information about the app and the developers.
