I love it. Many scenes and settings, well optimized for 4K display. Much better than "Ultimate" version. Will stay for long on my PC. Another great project by 3DM. Thumbs up!

Honestly one of the best purchases ive ever made off of steam this app is so cool its customization isnt incredibly good but ive only had this app for a few hours so there could be a lot i havent seen yet but i would 100% recommend this app to anyone that has a pc and steam its so cool with your music affecting it just 100% awesome

It's........ok. Thing is, it's buggy and rather performance intensive (for what it is) depending on the settings. On a single monitor it's pretty good, when delving into the multi monitor settings it gets glitchy. Especially on 3 monitors. Stretch is ok but on the third monitor there is barely any visualization. And you get the stretch artifacts (The balls that roll around will be eggs at the far ends) Other than stretch I cant select more than one monitor at a time and they're listed incorrectly (0,1,2) while my displays are 1,2,3. The software thinks my 3 monitor is 1. When you do select another monitor the visualization and settings freeze on the previous monitor and jump to the one selected, requiring you to go into windows personalize, select wallpaper then back to solid color in my instance to get rid of it. Shutting the software down will freeze a loading screen window on whichever monitor it was running on requiring me to do the windows personalize thing again. I did the visual effects/best appearance thing the dev recommends. I found just duplicating monitors in windows works better than the visualizers settings which is a bummer. Performance is more dependent on the settings you choose, the "floor" setting is the most performance intensive. I have a 4070ti and having floor maxed will send core clocks all the way up to 2865, with usage up to 50%, power draw about 80-100 watts on a single monitor. Resolution really didn't affect performance much if at all in my case. CPU usage was actually pretty minimal, 15 to 17% on a ryzen 3600. System ram (16g) really wasn't that affected much either. Also running windows 10, everything up to date. The UI is buggy as well, you go to click on a slider and move it to realize it hasn't moved at all and have to click it again which is frustrating. The rotation function is also frustrating, it's a slider with no numerical info so once it starts rotating if you want it to stop you have to guess where 0 is and in this case it's somewhere in the middle, so good luck with that. There's a default button but that resets everything including the introduction tutorial. It is pretty cool looking though so there's that. I'd give it a middle of the road rating if I could, not great but not awful. It's also only a few bucks. As it is though I wouldn't recommend it.

It took a hot minute to set up, but looks great now that I have it set up, and I love that most of the scenes look great even without the music reader function. I would suggest that the smoke scene be more visible on its own, rather than being basically invisible without the color from the music reader. I would also like for there to be more variety in the music reader, like putting a spectograph version (if that makes sense) or just other ways to visualize the sounds, but that's just wishful thinking, the app is great already.

Overall (3/10) Pros : Easy To Use Cons : music only mildly effects any visuals There is no way to make custom content , its all limited to the preset templates -------------------------------------------------- Improvements which i think the game needs Higher Level of customisation (e.g setting the games slider bars into number inputs with no cap) more presets/user generated content

looks really kul, but sometimes gets really laggy. overall it's not bad if you wanted something that looks this pretty, and the people who made this are looking at the negative reviews and trying to fix the problems, so props them them as well. overall I think it's worth the money they are asking for this wallpaper, but that's just my opinion.

Not enough options and the visuals are sub par with no wow factor at all. Cool at first but after ten minutes an overall underwhelming experience.

Alright, so I do approve, [u]especially given the $4 tag.[/u] The app worked immediately! Even though I had a game, YouTube, and Spotify open at the time of launch. [b]Here's what I like:[/b][list] [*]15 presets styles [*]Decent customization of how the style reacts to sound [*]Flexibility between sources, can confirm this reacts to Spotify, Youtube, and Steam games [*]Clean UI appearance [/list] [b]Here's what I don't like:[/b][list] [*]While there are many style presets, they are more like multiple variations on the same 3 types. (Cubes, shapes in the wind, and plane.) [*]The frequencies it reacts to seems to be tuned to the higher end, eg, it pulses more on a hi-hat than a bass drum. [*]The buttons on the UI have to be selected and dragged from the very very center, which means most of the button is actually fake and uninteractable. [*]Selecting style presets are in a scrolling menu where you cannot use scroll wheel, and can only drag the scrolling slider beside it, which is bad when the criticism above is so prevalent. [*]Some style presets seem to be more or less sensitive, and require tweaking the settings every time. [*]The CPU/GPU usage could be better. FYI im using a GTX 1080ti and an i7-10700, so im doing alright. [/list] [b]Here is what i would add/fix to really bring this to the next level.[/b][list] [*]Make a transparent mode for special styles, like bars and radial visualizers. [*]Fix those buttons. [*]Make a windowed mode to allow fullscreen (hiding the taskbar) [*]MORE COLORS PLEASE, lets make this easier and just add a HSB (hue, saturation, brightness) color slider and gradient markers. I really really want this because some of the color that would match my setup aren't available, especially the multicolored gradients. [*]Make a frequency tuning setting, this would allow me to make bass more reactive and high-pitched white noise less reactive. [*]3 or more custom preset profiles. It sucks i have to tweak the settings every time i swap to a new style, so adding in a favorites section would be amazing! [*]Make the style selection a grid instead of a scrolling window.[/list] I would love to be in contact with the developer to clarify and discuss the implementation of these features. (I'm not a programmer but hey, I'd love to consult for feedback)

It's 50/50 on whether or not this runs at start up. If it fails, good luck getting it to shut down and restart with no issues. I'd be upset if I hadn't had gotten it so cheap.
