Really nice way to keep your desktop fresh

Good software for updating your desktop imagery, and a good way to automate switching between different desktops. Would be nice to have the option to create multiple ‘rolls’ though so you could better theme them for different times of the year.

All in all a pretty good piece of software.

Nice enough but needs more work

Some of the pictures are really lovely, high quality and it’s nice to have a regularly changing desktop. The big issue for me is that I can’t create multiple rolls - there’s just one and that’s it. If I want a green roll, or a summer roll, or a water roll, or a night sky roll - tough. You have Christmas, and beaches, and architecture, and animals all mixed up together which breaks any mood you might try to create. Unless that is, you’re prepared to delete the whole of your roll and recreate it every few weeks or months. All it needs the developers to do is to support multiple rolls and allow selecting between them. Easy. Do that and it’s a five star app.

Update: I've downrated this to two stars because of the single roll limitation. macOS allows me to collect images into folders and set the desktop to cycle through any folder, with each folder being a themed collection. That is not possible in this app despite marketing engagement and support email suggestions and until it is this will stay 2 stars. I've stopped using it for that reason.
