I was confused initially as to how to set it up. A tutorial or intro summary could really help newbies like me. I like that there's so many different sources to choose from. I hope there's a better way to config the settings like intervals and manual update option.

Does not work as advertised. Does not set the background automatically. Works with the set button but I can already change my background manually without an app. Images take way too long to load, if at all. I get "try another source" message. I was only able to see 2 out of 8 I tried before losing patience. Again I can get images from the web faster. Disappointing in every way.

Great app! Please fix EarthShots source - it has greater pictures, but stopped working over a month ago.

About this app

This Live Wallpaper lets you select your daily wallpaper source and will automatically update your background image for you every day.

Wallpapers can be used from Sites like:
* Astronomy Picture of the Day (NASA)
* Star Trek
* Earth Science
* EarthShots
* Kodak
* Wikipedia
* bing
* TIME
* LIFE
* Left field
and more ...

A number of users of my (also free) but much more powerful WebLiveWallpaper only use it for a picture of the day. So this is the picture of a day part in a smaller and hopefully easier usable app with more predefined selections for picture of the day sources.

Please email me if you would like to see other picture of the day sources included!

If you want to see webcams, animations, image galleries or even websites on your homescreen (also included: live widget) please try my WebLiveWallpaper app. That app has a lot more settings to configure your background show.

Android versions without live wallpaper support can download images and set them as wallpaper manually.

Images are copyright to their respective owners and no images are included in this app. You use this to view images of various sources!

New features

Earlier important updates:

+ Image loading repaired (but slower) for Android 1.5.
