Mach Desktop for Android

i installed the app and it wont open , it only gave me a stars around the galaxy theme and thats it , cant and the app wont open FIX ITTTT

Purchased the app, installed it, opened it and it changes my desktop to a spiraling galaxy. That is all it did at first. There is no interface to make any changes. There are no menus, There is nothing but a new desktop which changes back to the static picture I had set before installation upon restarting. Had to go to their website to find this…. No icon appears in the Dock for Mach Desktop. Instead of that, a desktop icon shows up in the Status Bar near the top-right of the screen. Click on this to bring up a menu, in which you can start/stop the desktop animation, customize preferences, and quit Mach Desktop. All is well. Useful customizations. Provided Desktops are not color balanced very well (some are washed out or flat and lifeless) but worth the price at 2.99

At first the App did render the video to a small square on the desktop, instead of fullscreen. Then I had to ask the developer via facebook page, how to solve the issue - and restarted the app, as suggested: Then it worked. However, this should be present on the Apps documentation website, and a restart should be made automatically after choosing the quicktime video. Anyway, it did what I brought it to do. Just need some polishments.

Despite my 2* rating, I actually really like this app. This is a great way to add a little life to your desktop. It gets a low rating though because it has some flaws that need to be addressed in future updates. The Good: The beach/mountain/nature wallpapers are absolutely beautiful. The widgets are an excellent feature with some basic customization options. The Bad: I have this app set to start up upon login but it is pretty slow to load and it just about triples my boot time. Weather widgets are very slow to accept my location. It took over an hour for the weather widget to adjust for my location. On my g/f’s account, her location still shows as the default location and it’s been 3 days since I installed this app. I can adjust the font type, but font size is unresponsive. 24hr clock works on 1 widget (my clock) but on another (sunrise/sunset) it will only display a 12hr clock. The Ugly: Some of these wallpapers are just horrible looking. There’s an Eiffel Tower wallpaper that would be really nice looking if it weren’t for the fact that the top of the tower is cut off. Same goes for a couple others. Ice Cavern is really cheesey and Windmills is just lol bad. Even with it’s flaws, I do like this app and plan to keep using it. If the problems I pointed out are corrected with future updates I would easily add a few more stars to my rating.

The animated desktops are a nice idea, as are the widgets, but in practice the most attractive ones included here are the ones featured in the free version, and a lot of these are plain ugly. I guess I could roll my own using quartz composer, or possibly there is a community of people making good ones out there, but even the good ones here look pretty cheesy. I think if the authors want to save themselves more bad reviews they should post videos on their websites of all of the included desktops so people know what they are getting. I (erroneously) figured the paid version would have even *nicer* desktops than the free version, but only a couple are even on the same level, most are noticeably worse. Another issue is that the interface is poorly thought out. There are entirely separate settings windows for picking the desktop backgrounds and for customizing and placing widgets, which makes the app cumbersome to experiment with when dialing in a setup.
