Reddit Auto-Wallpaper Review

Reddit Auto-Wallpaper Review

The many customization options that Android provides has saw a community of enthusiasts arise that love to continually change the look of their home screens.  Different launchers, icon packs and wallpapers keep our devices looking fresh, with some people mixing it up on a daily basis.

Personally I like to keep things simple and have recognizable icons where I can find them.  However I do get sick of the same wallpaper after a day or two, and so change it regularly using the excellent Wallbase app.  Recently I came across Reddit Auto-Wallpaper which promises to automatically download new wallpaper on a regular basis, so decided to check it out.


If you’re familiar with Reddit you’ll know that there’s a wide variety of material posted in handy categories called subreddits.  This app is essentially a live wallpaper that downloads a fresh image multiple (unspecified) times a day.  The free version gives access to the r/earthporn, r/spaceporn, r/aww, r/wallpapers, r/rabbits, r/cats, and r/climbingporn subreddits, while upgrading to the pro version will let you enter whichever subreddit sparks your interest.

You get options to set the minimum size of the image and to download over Wifi only.  Unfortunately if you don’t like the currently displayed image you need to open the options dialog to load another image.  Other live wallpapers use a double-tap to advance, which would be really useful here.


I’ve been using this wallpaper for a few days now with the earthporn, spaceporn and wallpapers subreddits selected.  It’s been quite refreshing to suddenly see an unexpected wallpaper, and so far I haven’t had any I disliked.

Battery life seems unaffected, so if you’re the type of person who likes to keep things looking fresh but can’t be bothered to do it yourself then Reddit Auto-Wallpaper could be for you.
