Bing Wallpapers

Once you set any wallpaper, you can never change it because if you do, you cannot go back. All wallpapers in this app are only shown for a few days and once they are not featured anymore, you can never use that wallpaper again. There's no option to save it to your device or even a profile in the app. It's a shame because many of the suggested wallpapers are beautiful.

awesome photos. i use walli too but for landscapes and just overall beautiful, interesting photos DAILY..this is the app..i often research the pics, which they conveniently provide links for (albeit to bing - pls just merge with google already).. there are a few tweaks that need updated.. panorama instead of all crop on all screens, there is a glitch where it repeats a previous day's image instead of doing the newest one (fixed temporarily by resetting the auto change)..add hourly frequency..

I love having a new wallpaper everyday that also matches the wallpaper on my desktop/laptop. But the daily auto-refresh is broken so often by copyright images that can't be set as wallpaper! Why have images that can't be used?? The PC version doesn't have this issue. Everytime this happens, it breaks the auto-refresh until I go disable and re-enable it 😤

I have not had this app for very long and the wallpapers do change for me daily, which is great but the problem is- I keep getting the same three pictures! I get the sail boats with the sunset, the mountain goats and cute little otters! but other than that it won't show any other pictures! What the heck is up with that? I know it's not my phone setting being the issue because it's changing daily but ONLY three different pictures!

It breaks and starts uploading in reverse meaning all the pictures you've already had will start going right back up . It's a real shame. This app works for a little while and then starts loading images from the day before. Why Microsoft? Why must you always send products out that half work. I get it, you're a monopoly but, seriously, please fix this annoying bug for crying out loud. Or maybe don't fix it. Because when Microsoft "fixes" one bug it usually causes a litany of other bugs.

Needs to have a feedback option so I can reach out for help instead of just describing problem in a review. The problem with this app is that android or Samsung keeps stealing back the wallpaper control so I have to go back in and turn on the auto change wallpaper function at least once a week when the boring generic background comes back instead of beautiful Bing images. Otherwise thanks for creating this essential app.

I like this app and the wallpapers look awesome, but I wish there was a way to select categories you like. Such as Beach themes, space themes, Forest themes, etc.. That would be awesome. Also some of these wallpapers have weird patterns and they make it hard to see your clock and notifications on top of your screen. (I have a galaxy S7 and certain wallpapers really hide the notification bar.) So they should be more careful with the wallpapers they pick. But other than that, great app!

While the pictures are absolutely breathtaking the app doesn't always change the wallpaper automatically which is annoying and ontop of that as some users have mentioned some images are copyrighted and can't be set as a wallpaper. That's just about the dumbest thing a WALLPAPER app can do! In other ways it would be nice if the app allowed scrollable backgrounds.

I love the bing daily wallpaper. Have it on my computer, it regularly delights me. This phone app is a hot mess and is so ridiculously buggy that I've considered uninstalling just from the sheer frustration. The setting to auto change my wallpaper every day CONSTANTLY gets turned off and I have to switch it back on and half the time it still doesn't change to the day's wallpaper. Please, developer, fix this app.

Nice photos, poor app experience. You might click on one that you like, and it'll disappear and dump you out to an entirely different stack of photos. Would be nice if it allowed you to rotate photos or crop them. I like that they give you scenic landscapes compared to Google wallpaper but at least let us customize our selection a bit. Would be nice if we could favorite or save photos since it's from public internet stock anyway. The app has potential but isn't very intuitive, boring and limited

When it works the photos are great. I love the variety. However, it doesn't change my wallpaper daily despite enabling the setting. More often than not it will apply a past day's photo instead of the current one. I have to then manually apply the current day's image. I'll also check the settings randomly and the Auto Change will be disabled without any action from me. It's really annoying. I just want my wallpaper to change daily. That's all.

The app is consistently inconsistent. The auto change wallpaper feature fails often. I then need to go in and manually turn it back on which defeats the purpose of the auto change wallpaper feature. I have enabled all possible permissions for this app. I had forgotten why I stopped using it in the past, and that was it. A nice consistent auto change would mean that I would use this all time. The pictures tend to be great and a consistent experience across computers and devices would be nice.

Photos are lovely, but auto update isn't consistent. It's especially noticeable when there's a holiday or special occasion, and the appropriate photo doesn't show up until days later (if it shows up at all). That pretty much defeats the whole purpose of the Bing *DAILY* wallpaper!! There's not even a way to refresh it to get the current photo if the app doesn't do it automatically. Also, I miss being able to click on "Bing" to see the photo details, instead of having to open an app to get them.

I love the photos, but two points of feedback: 1) auto-change gets disabled randomly, or maybe only when the daily image is a copyrighted one, so then the app can't use it and reverts to an old one then turns off auto-change for some reason. Reverting is OK, but please keep the auto-change setting on. 2) I'd love a "like" button or "save" button in-app to remember images I've really liked.

One of my favorite apps. I love that the wallpapers change every day for variety. I get bored easily and they're always world class photography. You can pick your own photos manually, too. They range from beautiful to adorable to stunning... My Android also has home screen scroll feature if you pick landscape orientation pictures. I only wish I could favorite photos and create my own slideshow, like today's two cute owls 😫🥰

Does not work on Pixel 8. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and tried every setting I can think of, the app does not automatically change the wallpaper daily. Also, when a daily photo is copyrighted, it can't be set as a wallpaper. This defeats the purpose of having a wallpaper app, if the photos in the wallpaper app can't be set as a wallpaper, what's the point? Microsoft is a big company. They can pay artists the royalties they need to to be able to use the photo.

Glad to have it, needs simple improvements. I'm happy to have a simple, "does just this one thing" official microsoft app to give me the daily Bing image. Needs a few configuration options - fit image to screen size (so that I can see the whole thing rather than some oddly cropped subsection), and let me doubletap on the image to get full screen image with the information about the pic.
