Questions about the mobile version
Will the inclusion of a pause on a double tap on the screen be added?

Will the wallpaper shift be added when switching between desktops? (Like when previewing wallpaper) (very important if there are a lot of widescreen wallpapers)

Downloading wallpaper to a phone from a pc in 4k format does not happen (FULHD it loads and works)

My current phone wallpapers are a bit wider than my screen and span across my multiple home screens. Slightly shifting when moving between them. I'm assuming that's what you mean with wallpaper shift. If so, I too would love to see that feature added here!
Some way to define a wider area of the wallpaper, that it then spans across all home screens.

It would be great if they add it

When you select a wallpaper in the app, pull the wallpaper settings menu up from the bottom. Then change the "React to motion" option to either "Device Motion" to make the wallpaper movable with your gyroscope or enable the "Homescreen scrolling" option to let your widescreen wallpaper scroll along on the homescreen. Keep in mind that these options will only work if you actually have a gyroscope installed in your device and if your Android launcher supports homescreen scrolling like that.

A pause functionality on double-tap is not planned for now but since we just released the app, we will evaluate feedback along the line. For now, wallpapers only pause when you enable power savings mode.

I am actually not sure what you mean by that, can you describe this a little more? Which wallpaper did you try and what happens exactly?

What system requirements do android need for main desktop scrolling to work?
I turned everything on as you said, scrolling of desktops does not work for me, the wallpaper does not move(SHIFT)
(I have android 9. galaxy s9+)

When choosing to transfer wallpaper (4k) from computer to phone, the download is very slow and after its completion nothing happens. Everything works well with FULLHD wallpaper.

I hope you will add a pause on a double tap on the screen, this is even more important than anything else for me (I have been using a similar program with such a pause for a long time and it is very convenient and saves battery + the pause turns on when another window is open on top)

Tell me, what path is the downloaded video wallpaper stored in? Is it possible to change this path to a memory card?

Ya, this is what we really need, cause they hardly move side to side, regardless of what settings are used.

I just don't want to make new topic, as I have also question about mobile version...

Is there a limit of how many devices I can connect with my PC? As I would like to set wallpapers on my Wife's and my kids phones 😁

Did not expect a homescreen scrolling option to be under 'device motion'. As it doesn't require any motion of the actual device. :)

Tried it out on a few wallpapers. Seems to work okay on most, but some others hardly move at all.
As mentioned before, It would be great if we could manually define the total width of the image that it will scroll through.
So if i select an image width that's 150% of my total screen width, it would show the first 100% on the first screen, 25%-125% on the second screen, and 50%-150% on the last screen.

Love the app so far. But will probably have to go for pre-rendered wallpapers though. Most wallpapers noticeably slow down my home screen on the balanced setting. and/or look ugly with the halved resolution.

How do i get the mobile app to play my playlist? Like i made a playlist but when i set up switching every 30 seconds i cant see them swapping like it should. Im looking in the app and cant find a queue playlist or start playlist button. I think i found it yesterday cause it was working but i cant figure that out now

My cell phone was working normally with the "Scrolling main screen" option, now it has stopped, it seems to be bugged or something like that, even though my cell phone supports this option, I have already reinstalled the app but it is still bugged, I have Redmi 11S
