Vellum Wallpapers Reviews

by DEBORAHABEE

Impacted to the only other two apps I use, this one is overrated by the developer. I’m sure that the quantity and diversity was good at first, but people get the rating and get relaxed as well as cheap. Free yes. Premium doesn’t give any more than free. The selections and volume are minimal. Twice I gave this wallpaper app a good go around. 5 minutes in deleted. Same art as was several months ago. Peeps reed all review not just the average . The adds are not annoying. VellumWallpapers is solid in it mechanics but jelly fish must be this developer favorite fish. I am an Apple iPhone owner of 20 years. I am not a bot. I give thoughtful effort to all apps without bias. Just not liking the same thing over and over. Regards.

VellumWallpapers saved me from scrolling thru Unsplash for hours on end. Im really glad I got it for time management reasons.

VellumWallpapers needs better wallpapers. I like that there are a limited option available, but about half the sets are amateur photographers who appear to be novices at editing images. The style and quality of the images needs to be improved. I prefer more minimalistic graphic designs. About 1 in every 3 photos is from Unsplash or an artist who has a lot of work on Unsplash. About 1 in every 4 is a badly edited photo. (Not mutually exclusive categories.) instead of badly edited photography and stock images.

I paid for VellumWallpapers to get premium images. It’s misleading and annoying that so many images are from public domain. It appears that some sets were last minute choices with very little effort put in by developers. Other sets I love but I don’t even like half. And I only like several of the images in a category usually.

If you have obsessive compulsive tendencies and suffer from choice overload with wallpapers, absolutely get VellumWallpapers. But if you don’t struggle with time management or the tendency to spend way too much time selecting a wallpaper, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Incredible! While most wallpaper apps claim to be “free” we all know that once downloaded, they’re spammed w/ ads & all of the good wallpapers are only available for a ridiculous premium price.. Vellum is ACTUALLY FREE! It’s smooth & very easy to use, the ads are tiny at the bottom of the screen, and there are so many beautiful wallpapers to choose from. I also love that vellum actually credits & even showcases the artists & sources behind the beautiful images.
I do think, however, for it to be a 5 star app they should offer live wallpapers & extend their content- even if it’s just a premium option, it should definitely be available. Maybe they’re already working on this, but as of now there are none. I also think it’d be great if they added a search tool so users could search for a specific color or type of wallpaper.

High quality and visually stunning backgrounds and wallpapers for use. Hard to believe it’s free. The ad-free version is only a few bucks, which is extremely reasonable. Glad to see they offer space photos from NASA, Google earth and European space agency and they also credit and introduce other artists as well. I also like the recrystallize pack, though I’m hoping and expecting to see other seasonal packs as the year goes on? I’d also love to see them release live wallpapers and/or maybe wallpapers that transition from day to night and I agree w one of the reviewers — a search function would be nice! VellumWallpapers is clean and not messy (unlike other apps), visually aesthetic, and doesn’t bog down with incessant and intrusive ads.

Vellum is a great wallpaper app. The curated collections are fantastic and high quality. I purchased the add-free upgrade and I’m glad I did. I do have two suggestions:

1. A way to “bookmark” wallpapers for future use on VellumWallpapers , so I don’t have to download them to my phone and take up space. It would be great if the bookmarked wallpapers would be available forever and didn’t disappear.

2. More timely updates: The Yuletide update, for example, came out just a week or two before Christmas and I would have loved to start using those wallpapers well before that. I was disappointed to only use them for a few weeks.

I don’t review apps very often, but after hours and hours of searching through the “free HD” wallpaper apps in the Play Store & being disappointed by all of them, I finally found Vellum. This is now the ONLY app I use when it comes to customization. It’s easy to use, has minimal ads, & although there is an option to pay for “full access” they actually have a large section of free HD graphics that are all high quality, beautiful, unique & unlike the other wallpaper apps what they offer isn’t repetitive or copied from the other apps in the store.

Clearly Vellum takes pride in what they do and they have showcased an awesome and eclectic mix of present day artist from all over the map- several mediums and styles all with one thing in common... a real love n appreciation for art and a keen eye for the art that is everywhere in the world around us, above us, or right under our noses literally here in our hands. Keep up the good work and continue to take pride in it too; this is what separates the good from the great- especially in a time when VellumWallpapers stores are saturated with mediocre and mundane. Thanks doing your part to keep art alive and fresh. Respect- wyatt@Switch_Kraft

Being the boring person I am, I started looking for some fire wallpaper apps I could really use. Most of them were trash, some were scammers with horrible grammar, and others just didn’t wow me. I got here thinking this would be another flop of an app, only to be super surprised with the pictures and quality! I love VellumWallpapers so so much. Sure, the selection of photos could be expanded, but hey! Improvement is necessary for almost everything. Love VellumWallpapers ! Maybe in the future you guys could add some aesthetic packs with wording on it, like NY Times or Supreme fonts. Take a look at VellumWallpapers Aesthetic. Like those, just higher quality. I really love those kinda wallpapers so if you just took a look or something maybe you guys could? That would be the best thing ever! Keep doing what you’re doing! I love it! :D

I love VellumWallpapers and use it multiple times a month to find and save amazing wallpapers. I also want to thank the devs for choosing a one-time premium charge to unlock an ad-free experience with extra features as opposed to choosing a subscription model. I’ve paid for premium and love browsing the last month’s daily wallpapers.

If I were to improve one thing, it would just be more frequently updated wallpaper sets outside of the daily collection. Otherwise, five stars!

Honestly, I don’t remember where I heard about VellumWallpapers but it’s been saved in my phone for over a year and I use it often. I feel like ever since I had an iPod Touch like a decade ago I have downloaded apps for wallpapers. They would always come flooding with ads, spam notifications, and even watermarks on the image.

Not VellumWallpapers! It’s pretty much perfect from what I can tell...? I can’t remember the last time I used a background image that wasn’t from this great app.

Not saying they dont have ads but for a free app, it’s so minimal. You can definitely tell they don’t want to have ads there but I’m stoked they are— just in case the ads are paying some persons rent so they can do more stuff like this.

Oh and for the developers, there’s a duplicate image in the “according to bee” section that links you to a separate image. Just thought I’d let you know. (Edit: same thing with the Recrystallized section)

Awesome app. Great work. Cool stuff. High fives all around. Let’s go get a beer now.

Even though this is only the second day I’ve had VellumWallpapers, it’s selection is quite above standard. The inventory caught me by surprise when I saw all the different wallpapers, some I’ve never seen before. The quality of them, I guess, adapts to your iPhone’s screen specifications (I have the iPhone SE, and I say the wallpapers look unusually good, considering the fact some wallpaper apps have some type of “gradients” that I think aren’t intended, thus making the quality of them suffer). I will buy the “no ads” extra, just because I feel that VellumWallpapers has potential for better, unique wallpapers for everyone.

I’m a type of TECHY that is always changing his iPhone, iPad, and iMac wallpapers regularly. So needless to say, I’m always looking for a good source of high quality, artistic wallpapers. Unfortunately I’ve tried many that left me wanting more. That is until I saw the Vellum™ app featured in the AppStore.

Immediately I knew VellumWallpapers was to stand apart from the poorly designed, and often too complicated, wallpaper apps I’ve found in the pass. With it’s clean lines, super simpleUI layout, and the loads of high quality images, you are sure to find many options to dress up your iPhone screen.

Many times in life, less is more, and that truly rings true with the Vellum™ app. Three simple options, BLUR, SAVE, and PREVIEW, are available within each wallpaper selected, making VellumWallpapers an enjoyable, and quick source for your next background fix. CHECK IT OUT..

Just a great app. Has a wallpaper to suit anyone’s fancies, the daily wallpaper and limited packs are great features. User interface is excellent, it’s easy to see and select different packs. You can even try the wallpaper with your home and lock screens. It’s also really easy to put the wallpaper on your phone, just save it to photos with one button and then go change it and you’re done. Yes there are ads, but they are usually unobtrusive and infrequent. Other wallpaper apps are terrible compared to this, with an ad every time you click to a new screen and 4 free wallpapers to choose from. This is a great app guys, would highly recommend.

I cannot day enough good things about VellumWallpapers. The wallpapers are top notch and always look amazing. I have not found a single one that looks bad (whereas with most apps, the majority are terrible). I also love that you don’t bombard me with 3rd party ads. The only pop up I get is the one that suggests that I upgrade. And with VellumWallpapers, I’m seriously considering the upgrade. It’s not a subscription which is amazing and their business practices (of respecting the user rather than just using them for money) gives me true respect for VellumWallpapers . The creator(s) behind this clearly have actual passion for developing and have made an amazing worthwhile product. Definitely an essential download for any Apple user.

I came across VellumWallpapers while looking for a wallpaper for my iPhone X. I immediately downloaded it with not very high expectations but VellumWallpapers is something. Of course there are ads but not as much to the point where VellumWallpapers is basically unusable which I like. It doesn’t flood you with ads every time you click something. Then all of the high quality wallpapers available. Something I truly love about VellumWallpapers is that it allows you to view how the photo would look on your lock screen/home screen without having to download them. Speaking of downloading wallpapers, VellumWallpapers makes it super easy to save wallpapers. Simply a push of a button. Just all around great app!

I’ve used Vellum in the past and was impressed with the variety of styles and the quality of the artwork. There’s an excellent selection of photography and graphic illustration—something for everyone. The wallpapers fit right at home on an Apple device! This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill wallpaper app with the same set of walls curated from the internet that you’ve seen thousands of times before. In earlier versions, I didn’t notice the blur tool along with a proper lock- and homescreen emulator so you can see what your walls look like “live.” Very well done, devs! And at $1.99 for Premium access, it’s a no-brainer! Thanks for providing VellumWallpapers, it should an Editor’s Choice app on VellumWallpapers Store!

Hi! This is probably my absolute favorite wallpaper app out there! I have been using it since (at least) Fall of 2016 (if I’m recalling correctly) but I have had it for a long time, only recently did I finally make the decision to purchase the premium version...best decision ever! Still loving all the wallpapers! And I really love that I don’t have to keep an alarm in my calendar to grab the “daily wallpaper” for the day before it disappears hahaha! Totally worth getting and I feel that the wallpapers are very good quality! Obviously everyone has their own opinion. But I really do love VellumWallpapers and am so happy I finally took the plunge and just bought the premium!

by LGJCPA

Great product even in its free state. Vibrant art and design, categorized by artist. Easy to view, choose, save, change, etc. the ad free version is only $1.99 one time purchase fee. I tried five other products (all rated 4.7-4.9) and deleted all within a few minutes of testing. All had good art, but in their free form all made it incredibly difficult to test the product; all pushed very, very hard to sell relatively high priced subscriptions...I mean it’s not like there’s no free to cheap wallpaper apps available; and all continuously, incessantly pushed games to sell, as if their only customer audience for wallpaper app were kids and gamers. I love VellumWallpapers and am fixing to buy the premium, ad free version for $1.99, one time payment.

Most wallpaper apps barely scratch the surface of modernization, VellumWallpapers is by far the most up to date. The first thing that stole my attention was the interface. A sleek, clean and uncluttered style, with minimal and very refined movements. Secondly where the wallpapers themselves. Crisp, clear, and stylistic, with perfect explanations. Thirdly, the advertising. I adore the fact that the Ad’s are unobtrusive and do not interfere with your viewing, I feel as if I had already payed for the “Pro” version, when in fact I had installed the application 10 minutes ago!

Very well done Application. I do wish most developers would apply this much attention to their own applications, but alas, beggars can’t be choosers.

One of the few good wp apps. A lot of them are loaded with ads and just a general annoying UI. It can be hard to trust an app related to design and digital interfaces when they screw their own UI up (or butcher it for the sake of making more money)

I’ve always been a big customized but typically searched and sorted my wallpapers on my own. I was recommended VellumWallpapers and I fell in love with it. Their awesome UI makes he think they are into the same aesthetics as I am, which gives me confidence they will have decent wallpapers, and not crappy “inspirational quotes” like a lot of the stuff you see out there.

It’s hard to pay for something I know I can easily do for free (I know a lot of people don’t know how to set and save wallpapers so it makes sense) but the time and ease of use makes paying $2 worth it.
