  • MKBHD has launched a wallpaper app on iOS and Android with a premium plan that costs $12/month or $50/year.
  • Users have complained about the app’s performance, pricing, and permissions.
  • MKBHD has promised to improve the app but will likely not drop its price.

In this day and age, finding a free wallpaper for your Android phone has become exceptionally easy. Besides us supplying you with a fresh batch every Wednesday, numerous apps, websites, and AI image generators offer infinite libraries you can pick from at no charge. Nevertheless, YouTuber MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) has launched a controversial wallpaper app that costs $50 per year. Following user complaints about the app’s performance, pricing, and permissions, the YouTuber has promised to enhance the application — while maintaining the same price tag.

Earlier this week, MKBHD launched Panels — a wallpaper app for iOS and Android devices. While the app is free to download, unlocking its HD content requires a $12/month or $50/year subscription. Alternatively, users can watch two ads in a row to unlock a certain wallpaper in SD resolution.
