Forest Live Wallpaper
Don't forget to go into settings to turn on things like weather, multisampling
* or the 3D parallax effect*, if you don't wanna miss out!
* Not supported on all devices.
TroubleshootingHow do I use this wallpaper on my lock screen?You need to have a lock screen that can use live wallpapers as background, like Locker Master or something. The one in the screen shot is part of the ROM CyanogenMod.The screen is too dark at night!There's a color setting called Night-time multiplier that you can change to a brighter color, making the trees and hills brighter at night. It's not the perfect solution, but it'll have to do until I (eventually) add a fix.The weather is wrong! D:< Make sure you have a location set in the location settings, then check if Recent weather data (via the menu in the weather settings) is available, up to date and for the correct location. If not, the weather provider is simply not accurate, but now you can change the weather provider.
Features:
- Day/night cycle that fades colors from day to night, in accordance to your location.
- Animated trees.
- Local weather (wind, rain, snow and clouds, so far).
- Parallax effect with several layers when scrolling.
- 3D parallax effect when tilting the device.
- Customizable colors and weather.
- Stars.
- Mountains.
- Simulated scrolling.
- Clouds.
What to expect in the future?
- Infrequent updates (I'm lazy -_
- )
- More weather effects (visibility, lightning...).
- And a lot more planned!

Parallax isn't working please help! It says device not supported even though other apps are able to give me parallax effect on wallpapers. Also UI isn't good at some options on settings. Looks really oldish
I've been using this wallpaper for years now and on multiple phones and i love it. Its a simple and cute lill forest. The only problem is, is that after i changed the theme on my phone and reapplied this the weather effects stopped working properly and the API keys i've tried dont work. Othert than that this wallpaper is a 9/10.
Loved this wallpaper for years, but now the mountains and weather no longer show up so it looks a bit bare. Seems to be bug with new versions of Android so hopefully the Devs can fix it. Instant 5 stars if they do
Love it, been using it for years But sadly it's glitching material you on the OnePlus 9 Pro, material you trys changing the colors to match the background as the background changes , so it lags the phone going to home screen and any goolge apps
Absolutely stunning, my only thing I would personally add is full color control, so I can change all layered colors and gradients to make the style I like.
So calm and serene love this wallpaper. wish there were more apps like this from the developer, maybe later on.
This is the perfect wallpaper app. The customization is pretty extensive, you can use any weather api or just the default one. And it's not just "rain on" "wind on," there are a lot of different intensities for everything. The parallax effect can be changed, the colors of the trees, and the color of the night, and it pans across the landscape when you scroll to your next screen. There's more but you get the point. This really shouldn't be free this guy is an app philanthropist.
Absolutely amazing! You don't have to worry those random ads to pop up, since there are none! I really love how you could customised it. Now, does the live wallpaper work? Yes! It works! It moves completely fine, I also like how it could change the weather, which is pretty fun for me aside from it just moving. This app is beautiful, reccomended.
Beautiful app! When I need a dose of mountains, this wallpaper is what I go to. The weather and daylight changes to match the local atmosphere are great. I love the tiny, unnoticed touches like the Star at Christmas. When I saw this, it was particularly touching because the Christmas Star has a major significance to me. Thanks for doing a good job! (One fix I'd suggest, though, is the weather sources. Google is the only viable option as the weather key I was given didn't work in the app).
Awesome ×1000. Can change with the time of day, time of year, weather. Optimization is easy to use, and easy to revert if you choose settings you don't like. You can enter your time zone for live time (day, night, everything in between), and/or enter your general area for live weather (rain, snow, wind, etc). Holidays have extra effects which I really really really like. It's charming. Makes me smile. Sometimes I just stare at it for several minutes? It's the best! :D
Pretty good wallpaper! Probably the best live wallpaper. It doesn't drain the battery. The weather most of the time corresponds with the weather outside. You can see fireworks on the New Year too! The only glitch that I have observed is that the wallpaper fails in landscape mode. Whenever I rotate my phone in the homescreen, then only the sky remains visible. I have to remove it and then again apply it. I'd like you to work over this thing.
My favorite live wallpaper featuring a pixelated horizon scene with beautiful purple and pink sunsets (my favorite kind) was abandoned, so I went looking for the next best thing. This might be it. It's just so relaxing. 😍😌 I haven't messed with the theming options yet; the default is perfect right now. The trees move perfectly and the background isn't the same all the time, which I do like. I can tell because the mountain isn't always there, though that feels like a bug to me. Still nice tho!
Its a neat app, but has some bugs. If you have live weather on and it starts raining, sometimes the rain in the wallpaper will never stop even days after the rain in my area has ended. Refreshing the wallpaper doesnt help, and neither does changing the theme of the Forest. The only way to fix this is to remove the wallpaper and set it again. Other than that, it's a really neat material design and a cool visual way to check the current weather without needing a widget or having to open any apps.
To put it simply, good app, but a bit buggy. Now it would take a while to even start explaining them but there are some small, annoying things that can't be fixed/removed. For example: After using the app for 2-4 days, a rainbow appeared in the middle of the screen that can't be removed in anyway. I'd like this to be fixed/told how to remove it, then I'll probably bump up the rating to a 4/5. Instead of that, a good app easy to recommend.
Best wallpaper I've ever came across. Day and night transitions are on point. Golden hour is awesome. We don't have seasons here in my country to see how awesome the seasons look. Still, all other whether changes get reflected in the wallpaper instantly. Great job.!!! On a side note, I didn't see any performance drops or battery life hits.
It's a very good app and idea, perfect minimalist animated background. It lacks many updates on the interface and menu controls. Some problems in Androids dark mode: When it's night and the sky is dark, the icons on top become black, and "invisible". During the day, they become white, "invisible" in the clouds. I would suggest an additional feature to change seasons and colors along the year. Otherwise it's a very good app and I recommend it!
Pleasant wallpaper, just wished it was not so "zoomed in". I would like to zoom out so I can fit more of the background. Had to edit this review and remove a star. For an unknown reason, the live wallpaper shows that it should be raining, but Open Weather shows that it is not expected to rain and the sky is just partly cloudy in reality. Guess I will have to look for another app as the app only includes one weather service provider. API keys are not easy to get to change the provider.
I really love how this app has day and night cycle. As soon as I saw the beautiful blue and purple at night I knew I must go back to play store and rate it. However, this app has a bug. When sliding across home screen it only slides a little and when it reaches th end it will stop sliding. In other words it does not sync with position on home screen instead it only slides when you swipe.
Cool app, but the making of custom themes doesn't entale changing any colors, or if it does, I don't fully understand how. I wish there was a better tutorial. Also, you should be able to adjust how zoomed in the camera is, because when I edit it, it looks fine, but when I actually set it as wallpaper you can barely see a few trees because it is so zoomed in. This app has so much potential, and I really think you can make it better, just please, please fix my problems. You probably won't even see this review anyway, though.
This is my favorite background I've ever had. Love it! I wish I could come back and give this app even more stars. I looked at my phone on New Years and there were freaking fire works going off on my background! 🎇 It made me so happy! I have the background on both home and lock screens, and I can say that I haven't noticed a significant change in battery life. Love the simplicity, subtleness, weather matching, and ability to customize. Well done!! 👌
This is definitely one of the best live wallpapers out here in the Play Store, a ton of customization, the customization features are insane! You can change its colors, weather, season, etc. I love its aesthetic feel, one really cool thing is the seed generation feature, you can customize the landscape just by typing numbers. It has no flaws so far since I've downloaded it. Also, it has no ads! 10/10, I recommend this to everyone especially the ones who like to play with their home screen.
My favorite wallpaper app, like on a genuine level. I love the fact that the mountains change and are randomly generated, I love the trees, the weather effects are adorable. If I had to nitpick I'd ask for the option to change how bright the sky is. I have the trees/hills/mountains fairly dark and the sky can sometimes look a bit bright. I've told all my friends about this app, and my mother, and I really cannot recommend it enough ☺️
Absolutely hands down best live Wallpaper I've ever downloaded or seen on the play store. I got this app like over a year ago and I haven't changed my wallpaper since. Everything is there that needs to be in terms of customization, but there's no reason, in my opinion, to change the default settings. The landscape is noticable but not too noticable..All the little easter eggs for holidays always brighten my day a litlle.. Just try it for day, you won't be able to go back to normal backgrounds :)
A super live wallpaper app! Works really well with my phone. Does not take up excessive storage or processing speed, yet looks good and functions well. Had a small issue with the weather not updating, but as the app developer indicates, this can be caused by the API limits, but created a free account with them and now updates perfectly. Excellent and perfect - just what I wanted.
Amazing app. Love it. Except for one thing. When it's night time, wallpaper turns dark (which is amazing) but status bar font color remains black. I can't read it. Could you switch font color to white in that case ? Thanks a lot
