About Android Apps of the Day

Apps for May 12, 2012

Mixed Wallpaper Pack

^[9]Looking for a new wallpaper? Mixed Wallpaper Pack is an app that contains dozens of wallpapers (of varying resolutions) for you to pick from. Once you find the wallpaper of your liking, you can set it as your wallpaper or save it to SD card. The best part is once you download and install Mixed Wallpaper Pack, you don’t need an active Internet connection to use it. The developer of Mixed Wallpaper Pack does not explicitly mention how many wallpapers the app contains; I stopped counting after thirty.
