Desktop Works Well however screen saver doesn’t work

• ★★★☆☆   Eastside99 8 years ago ( v 5.2.1 )

As a desktop wallpaper it works well, you can even download from thier website a tool to use your own video. The app uses resources. The screen saver doesn’t work with El Capitan and there is no useful support on their website.

Я расстроен

• ★★☆☆☆   Seleznev.n.krd 12 years ago ( v 5.1 )

Ну даже маленький 13" монитор моего air воспринимает как изображение по телевизору с близкого расстояния, очень не качественно, я понимаю ресурсы, и.т.д. но денег однозначно своих не стоит.

Unique Idea

Ive been looking for an app like this for a long time. Glad I found My Living Desktop. My cats love to watch the screen especially the fish scene. I like the variety of scenes myself like the ocean scenes, the mountain scene, and the beautiful sunset. I highly recommend it! Oh, and my co-workes are envious.

Beautiful!

This is a beautiful ap and so easy to use. It is a bit spendy, but then again, I bought it!. I love the ability to choose my mood through the many different scenes. I find myself feeling more relaxed with the sound of the waves or the wind. I also love to use the screensaver functionality. Cheers!! I hope that you will update with more and more scenes as time goes on which would be expected for the price.

This is simply awesome

Great Support

You always hope you dont need support but something went wrong during my install on my Mountain Lion Mac. These guys responded very quickly and numerous times until we resolved the issue (even though it was the weekend). I wish more developers were like this. The app is great too BTW.
