Today I will review another utility application for Android, that, in my opinion, provides functionality that should come with the platform. FaYnaSoft Lab’s Wallpaper Changer is a simple, easy to use wallpaper changer for your Android phone.
Below is the home screen for the application, providing access to the main control and setup functions for the program.
Stop: This starts and stops the wallpaper changer program.
Time Settings: This accesses the time settings for the program, accessing the screen below:
Here you can determine how often your android wallpaper should be changed. You can choose as often as twice a day, which isn’t nearly often enough for my tastes (Back when i had a desktop wallpaper changer I changed every 5-20 minutes).
Wallpaper Gallery: This is one of the things this program got right. You can browse wallpapers in a neat scrolling gallery. Long pressing an item selects it for further actions.
By default, the wallpapers included with the phone are the first entries into the gallery. You can add entries by pressing the menu button and selecting add. After attempting to add each item you are given the opportunity to resize the picture to a default 640×480 size before adding them. If only there were a batch upload mode for those of us who have a lot of wallpapers…
Pros: Easy to use; Great screen for browsing wallpapers. Also is simply works! There’s something to be said for software that meets expectations. Works well with the clean, simple UI.
Cons: Would like to see more features. For example, Batch uploading of photos would be nice. As would an option to pull photos from an external source, such as flickr or something.
