Wallpapers from Google lets you give your Android phone a fresh look, with an attractive collection of images to brighten up your home screen and lock screen.
Pros
Easy to use: The app does a nice job of displaying wallpapers. You can view the Wallpapers collection, see other on-device wallpapers, your own photos, and live wallpapers.
Appealing image collections: You can pick from Google Earth satellite images, landscapes, cityscapes, nature photos, and textures. In the app, tap the Explore button next to a selected wallpaper image to learn more about the location or photographer.
Daily rotation: You can set Wallpapers to cycle daily through a collection of wallpapers. You can also decide whether the app can download the daily wallpaper over Wi-Fi.
Cons
Minimal interface: Wallpapers has bare-bones interface that can make changing wallpapers tougher than it should be. In addition, on non-Google phones, using Wallpapers to set a lock-screen image is turned off.
Bottom Line
Wallpapers from Google lets you add attractive -- even gorgeous -- wallpapers to your Android's home screen.
