Photo of the Day Customer Insights

1. I want my wallpaper and lock screen to stay my own choices, I downloaded this to only be used as a widget around 5 x 4 icons large.Wow what a find! I was looking for something like this rigorously since the last 3 years! My Windows Phone had Bing but I did not care for daily updates on wallpapers back then.But after I bought an android it was just a bunch of dull and repetitive Google wallpapers,nasty.Since then i have been scouring the app Store for an app like this,I tried instagram too,another unsatisfying experience,smh.I will recommend this app to others, and yes the photos are from nat geo.It's simple, easy & Good.

2. With the update to Chrome OS 97, Android on Chrome was changed (from running in a Virtual Machine to a Container, I believe? This move had it's own problems, which appear to be fixed in Chrome 98?) which has made the App unusable on Chrome OS.

3. Works perfectly! What a delight to be surprised by an amazing picture every day!nice app but for some reasons does not update the lock screen even though it is set correctly in the settings.

4. Where it always had problems (like building a backlog of unexecuted wallpaper updates, then executing them all when "woken up"?) But still liked the basic philosophy of how it operates.

5. I'm using Nova Launcher, and it indeed wasn't able to set lock screen wallpaper either.

6. I've been updating my phone with the latest National Geographic Photo of the Day since 2011 and I'm grateful to have this app to make that daily process efficient and enjoyable.

7. Props to the dev.. one request: can you change the app icon? It's ugly and your app deserves better.Fantastic app and great continual developer support.

8. Happy holidays to youThe pictures are great although I only wanted to cast them and there's no option to frequently shuffle.

9. Here's hoping it gets a fix?I meant to say the photo only changes when wallpaper option is active.

10. The Your Shot photos which are more than three days old often don't show up on the screen, and they often won't download either.

11. Sorry for low star rating then :) Thanks again for the appThe update "random" mode doesn't work.
