On the right panel, under the Mobile Devices category, selecting the icon will open a new menu that allows users to customize the wallpaper to best fit on the mobile screen.

Once you select your phone, the Wallpaper companion app will recognize the PC and highlight green. How’s It work on Android?Īfter downloading the Android app and simultaneously having the Windows variant open, a mobile device section will be accessible to wirelessly connect the two systems. With the Wallpaper Engine companion app, we can actually transfer those same high quality wallpapers onto our Android devices. It can be a bit jarring to find quality movement to display on your background. A quick search on the Google Play Store and you’re swamped with a bunch of Zedge-like apps.

The motion in each wallpaper ranges from significant to nearly non-existent. There’s such a wide variety of wallpapers for download that there’s something for everyone whether it be anime oriented, nature themed, or even on the meme spectrum. The program is essentially an interface to manage live wallpapers as well as a digital storefront to download them from other users who upload their designs.

I don’t know how this got past my radar for half a year, but with this companion app, my Android wallpaper game has completely elevated to a whole other level. I didn’t think it could get any better until I stumbled upon the Wallpaper Engine Android companion app a few weeks ago. With a constantly expanding wallpaper library made by talented users, my monitor always displays a relevant background to trending pop culture references. For only $3.99, that was probably the best app I’ve ever purchased on any platform. To this day, I still use that program for all of my Windows computers daily. A few years ago I made a video showing off the Wallpaper Engine program on Windows.
