United StatesMagic Window brings your desktop to life with beautiful slow moving timelapse views for your wallpaper and screen saver. The app includes 289 views of coasts, beaches, cities, mountains, lakes, and more. Watch as time and light slowly paint the skies beautiful colors and cities transform from day to night and back again. Created by the same team that brought you Magic Window for iPad and iPhone, this is a new style of desktop wallpaper made using timelapse photography. The wallpapers slowly blend over time revealing magical changes in scenery and color. The goal is to create slow and subtle movement that does not distract from work. The speed of the wallpaper can be changed from slowest where movement is not visible to fastest where movement is subtle and noticeable. Depending on if you prefer more static wallpaper or "live" wallpaper you can adjust this setting to conform to your tastes. Most views were filmed over hours and capture complete sky transitions.

Good software, needs more attractive scenery
Really looking forward to captures of Appalachia - arguably the most beautiful region within the USA and by some standards, the world. Friends from other countries have frequently commented that they have seen no more beautiful places on the planet... but you've got to have a taste for trees, vegetation and ancient mountains and hills more than naked stone and desert to really appreciate it.
United StatesMany of the scenes don't move
Not really slow motion as much as time lapse photography. There is no movement in the scene. Images appear then drop off completely. Some pictures were grainy and muddy. Reviewers love the low cost and perhaps that is why quality is so lacking
United StatesFLAWLESS
I find that every scene is of the same perfect quality as all of the others. I love all of them. I am forever impressed at the amount of talent and work that went into this app compared to the incredibly low cost, it never ceases to amaze me. I often find myself lost in just watching the images in awesome admiration. I'm more than thankful that they add to the collection regularly. I'm hypnotized by the time lapses. If you (or I) have a question on ANYTHING, the developers answer quickly and until you are fully satisfied with the answer. You just can't lose.
United StatesDoesn't work in Catalina
background doesn't animate at all
United StatesSpectacular, beautiful, perfect, amazing service!
I just adore this app. The images are spectacular. The time lapses are mesmerizing. My husband and I often stop what we're doing to admire a given image. The developers are great the best! If I have a question, they answer within MINUTES. They give you great background info on each of their spectacular shots, and they are constantly adding to their collection of images (and thus, yours)! I run this app on my MacBook Pro, and I run the new 4K version (even more breathtaking) on my iMac! You won’t be sorry! An incredible investment. The BEST APP! Worth every penny!!! Thank you!!
United StatesUnfriendly and awkward
NOT recommended.
United StatesI love this app. How about putting time and weather on Mac OS.
I frequently sit in front of my computer all day. My computer time requires great concentration. I use your app to remember all the beautiful places in the world. Your app is a brief yet potent refresher for my mind. Because of your hard work and great pictures, I can come back to my task refreshed. I would love to see the time and the weather on the Mac OS app, similar to the apps on the iPad and iphone.
