Wallaroo App Review

September 22, 2022

Give your Lock Screen a new look with the recently released app Wallaroo. Wallaroo brings you fantastic artwork from The IconFactory team that can be used as wallpapers. You may have heard of them before. They are the creators of Twitterrific, Frenzic, and Linea Sketch.

With the reimagined Lock Screen in iOS 16, there are all kinds of new ways to personalize your device. You’re able to display favorite photos, customize font styles, and set widgets so you can quickly glance at data right from your Lock Screen.

Perhaps one of the neatest new features is the ability to create multiple Lock Screens, each one with its own unique wallpaper or background. You can set one for weekdays, weekends, work, or just because. You’re able to easily switch between them depending on your mood. This is where Wallaroo comes in.

Why You Need This App

Why You Need This App

First of all, Wallaroo offers 12 different categories to choose from. It includes everything from movies and anime to fantasy and nature-inspired wallpapers. There truly is a little something for everyone, and the best gems can be saved as favorites.

Most of the abstract wallpapers allow for multiple color schemes. Each wallpaper credits the artist, mentions the release date, and offers a short description of the artwork.

You are unique just like everyone else so why should you have the same wallpaper as everyone else? Wallaroo truly lets you express your individualism.

Wallaroo adds new and exclusive content each and every week so you’ll never have to worry about being bored. 

Want a new wallpaper to fit the season? Done. Want to show off your love for a movie you just watched? No problem. Want to share your festive side for the upcoming holiday? Easy peasy. Feeling grumpy today? You’re covered.

With hundreds of exciting wallpapers to choose from and new ones constantly being introduced, Wallaroo is a steal. Wallaroo is free to use but also offers monthly and yearly subscriptions that provide access to locked content and new releases each week. The monthly subscription is currently $1.99 and the yearly subscription is $19.99.

If you opt-in for one of the subscriptions, you’re able to share content across your entire household with Apple’s Family Sharing.

Wallaroo makes it quick and easy to set your Lock Screen and Home Screen thanks to Apple Shortcuts Integration. Choose a wallpaper, tap a button, and you’re all set.

If you’re not familiar with Apple’s Shortcuts app you’re really missing out. A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Shortcuts app allows you to create your own shortcuts with multiple steps.

Luckily, Wallaroo takes the hassle out of setting your wallpaper and handles Apple Shortcuts Integration for you.

Disadvantages

Disadvantages

Despite offering a substantial amount of wallpapers for free, not purchasing a subscription kind of limits you. You can’t apply wallpapers to multiple themes since you can’t download them without the watermark. It’s also worth nothing that new weekly content is only available to those with a paid subscription.

Wallaroo is only available to those with iOS 16.0 or later. This is a real bummer for anyone using an older device.
