About Forest Live Wallpaper


The OpenWeatherMap API key has been blocked due to too many requests per minute (exceeding the free amount by 1000 %) and will thus no longer work!


If you need the weather sync you will have to use the other weather provider for now.


Forest Live Wallpaper is a nice, relaxing wallpaper with trees blowing in the wind and a sky that changes from dusk till dawn.

Don't forget to go into settings to turn on things like weather, multisampling* or the 3D parallax effect*, if you don't wanna miss out!
* Not supported on all devices.

Troubleshooting
How do I use this wallpaper on my lock screen?
You need to have a lock screen that can use live wallpapers as background, like Locker Master or something. You might just need to enable it in the launcher settings. When setting a wallpaper on Galaxy S6, e.g., you choose whether to use if for your home screen, lock screen or both. The one in the screen shot is part of the ROM CyanogenMod.
The screen is too dark at night!
There's a color setting called Night-time multiplier that you can change to a brighter color, making the trees and hills brighter at night. It's not the perfect solution, but it'll have to do until I (eventually) add a fix.
The weather is wrong! D:<
Make sure you have a location set in the location settings, then check if Recent weather data (via the menu in the weather settings) is available, up to date and for the correct location. If not, the weather provider is simply not accurate, but now you can change the weather provider.

Features:
- Day/night cycle that fades colors from day to night, in accordance to your location.
- Animated trees.
- Local weather (wind, rain, snow and clouds, so far).
- Parallax effect with several layers when scrolling.
- 3D parallax effect when tilting the device.
- Customizable colors and weather.
- Stars.
- Mountains.
- Simulated scrolling.
- Clouds.

What to expect in the future?
- Infrequent updates (I'm lazy -_- )
- More weather effects (visibility, lightning...).
- And a lot more planned!

I have to admit, this is one peaceful piece of art inserted inside an android app. But i there is a BUG/ERROR. The night mode/auto sun color is not working. Not atleast for me. The color show properly in the preview when i am in the 'Colors menu' of the app settings, but as soon as I press back button, seems like it does not save the changes. I hope you understand what i am trying to say. Try to solve this glitch as soon as possible. Thank you :)

It's a simple design, yet detailed and pleasing to look at. I'm not a fan of live wallpapers because many eat your battery. This one uses little juice. Never thought I'd love a wallpaper so much. Definitively recommend this amazing forest! Suggestions if possible: Adding more varieties at dawn and dusk. A moon perhaps? On the live weather option, have the tree fit in too. I had to turn them white for winter.

Absolutely gorgeous. The weather is accurate to real-time (usually) and the day-night cycle helps me by automatically making my screen dark at night! Tip for the creator, though - it'd be really cool if it followed real-time seasons as well. The only problem I've found so far is that I can't figure out how to create new themes without changing the one I have currently set, but that's so minor it doesn't even deserve the detraction of half a star. Overall, I love this wallpaper!

Old: I love this app!!! The last update was 9/10/2015. Today's 9/10/2016 so... maybe a little update? (Not having an update is fine too! It's already amazing but you can make it amazing-er!) New: Hey there! Today's 9/10/2017 and I've been waiting for 2 years.(lol) I know you've said don't for an update but I'm just a really eager fan waiting for an update! See you next year! X3

Firstly, I love this wallpaper! I love the style and customization and animation! It does annoy me though that there's no way to make the lockscreen match. I know you can't animate a lockscreen, but being able to download a still picture of the wallpaper to set as your lockscreen would be great. I got around it by using a screenshot, but it's not ideal. Another random suggestion, it would be cool to see the moon at night! Either way, awesome app.

I was looking to download a live wallpaper app, but all of them either drained my phone's battery or weren't as nice as I expected. I finally came across this app and it is amazing. I absolutely love it! The features that seperate this app from the rest are: very low battery usage, highly customizable as you can choose your own colors, lighting changes as the day progresses, depicts accurate weather, and it is simple yet soothing to look at. I would highly recommend this app! I would like to have maybe a moon or more visible starts in the night, and an automatic feature that would allow the user to set the forest a different color for each day of the week, but otherwise this app is great.

Love how much love went into this wallpaper! So many colors and weather effects are customizable, and I love how there are even surprises when a holiday comes up! So far I've seen the North Star in Christmas, and fireworks on New Years! What I'd love more is more weather effects like fog and lightning, and sun and moon cycles (moon stages, eclipses), accent additions (like a campfire) and more holiday options. Keep up the good work!

I'm honestly impressed by how good this wallpaper is. The only problem I've had with it is that on my Google Pixel the clouds stay dark gray as if it's raining when the day/night cycle is turned off, even with otherwise perfect weather. Not quite sure why it's happening. Other than that, fantastic stuff!

This is actually pretty damn cool. It's fun to play around with the setting, but you know what I would really love? If there were animals in this forest. Like a just an animal or two just meandering about the forest that pop out of the tree now and again. Or maybe birds will just fly in the background now and then. I would like that.

I love the design, so simple yet elaborate, but I love most of all the customizing options. You can zweak virtually any relevant part of the wallpaper! However, the battery drain is significant, even on the standby, while doing nothing, and even on a really strict battery regime. I suppose that's inevitable with such a high-definition live wallpaper, but unfortunatelly I'm firced to uninstall it because the drain is too much for my phone. Oneplus One, running Marshmallow-based COS13.

Although I like trying out different launchers, adding widgets, etc..., when it comes to wallpapers I usually just select a picture from my gallery. I've never seen a need to download wallpapers, and certainly not a "live" wallpaper. THEN I SAW A REVIEW OF THIS APP! Not only does it look phenomenal but it also has lots of different customizations. BUT WAIT, I saved the best for last....It synchronizes with your actual time of day and current weather conditions AND IT'S FREE! Definitely worth a look.

This live wallpaper brings true meaning to live. There are plenty of real weather and time effects to sink your teeth into. I'd love to see maybe a 8bit pixel filter to feed my 8bit obsession. Beyond that it drains very little battery and performs great, especially for a free app!

It has tons of customization, consumes little battery life and is very aesthetically pleasing. Never had any problems with it, will definitely keep it as my wallpaper for a long time. (EDIT : For some reason, it seems that I am unable to see the stars if the day/night cycle option is deactivated, despite the fact that the sky's color is set to pitch black and the 'Stars' checkbox is toggled in the 'Layers' menu. Might want to look into that.)

Its so good to look at it during the day, i almost forgot how much i hate that my phone is lighting up evey minute to notify me of someone wanting something. I love it, keep up the great work, if i could have one single suggestion, its making clouds a little less mspaint, and a little more like the rest of the scenery. Thanks for your dedication, hope to see more!

I don't notice any unusual battery drain, lag, or any other problems. Love the parallax feel and the thoughtful features of this app: scene mimics the weather, nice flat color and design doesn't distract, and so far Christmas and New year's had a little something extra. Just can't say enough good things about this wallpaper.

Excellent wallpaper. I use to always change my wallpaper every week because i got bored with them. But with the option of changing the colours and the weather i never do. Some sugetions tho, the trees should be shadows, some bird flying in the sky would be cool and some little dots on the hill to repersent flowers would be cool. Oh and lightning.

I really love this app. I would give it 5 stars, but it's missing a realistic sun and moon. The fading of the sunrise and sunset is beautiful. Night time is peaceful too. I use a "Transparent Weather Clock App + Transparent Calendar Widget", to give it a nice peaceful scenery with the Sun and Moon atmosphere. I still use it today, but in future tense update this missing feature. Please!

This app is so great because it isnt too much but not that simple. A couple of things to add are maybe the options for forest type animals to graze past the scree ex. Rabbits deer bear etc. And maybe on valentines day put two people on a picnic in the center area

This wallpaper is deceptively simple yet it continues to amaze me with the small little details like the north star star on Christmas or the fireworks presented on new years. This app also shows weather by visually telling you if its windy, snowing, or raining. Its the best wallpaper I have seen to date.

I honestly think I will be donating to the developer of this app very soon and I wish I gave it a review earlier. It's such a neat and calming background wallpaper. And suprisingly customizable as well For instance you can get it to look pretty much like the home screen of your phone is on another planet just by messing around with the color of the trees and the mountains. It's really good at keeping your battery power up as well. I haven't used many other backgrounds (because I am addicted to this one, lol.) but this one hardly takes any charge at all. So go ahead and give it a try. It's completely add free. Actually just change that to completely free altogether.

I like this wallpaper a lot but always had trouble whenever I chose the "use device location" setting. It would be be fine for a little while but shortly thereafter it would seem to be about 6 hours off (e.g. it would show the sun starting to rise at 0:00). If this were fixed it would get 5 stars from me.

Works brilliantly and looks amazing. Would be amazing if lightning was added. Or even the lightning could hit the trees to cause a forest fire so the trees burn down. So then you need rain for them to slowly regrow over time. A living breathing landscape.

AMAZING and I have a few suggestions. Maybe add a feature where birds fly around during certain seasons or if a tree is tapped they fly out. Also maybe dawn and dusk could be added. Could you also add more automatic seasonal changes?

Ooooh I loooove this app, it's so pretty and minimalistic. beautiful artwork. You know what it needs though? a bit of wild life, like maybe deer, or birds, a lone puma or something like that. (you dont have to add that I just think it would look even prettier with animals.) 10/10 beautiful wallpaper.

Very good application. I have concerns about power consumption - is it still active while screen is turned off? I'm not sure but it seems like that battery life became shorter although my phone was in "sleep" mode all the day. Thanks.

This live wallpaper is simple, sharp, and smooth. For me, it as worked as intended and more with the suprising bonus of small effects on holidays. The customization is flexible if you do decide to use it, and above all the forest setting is wonderfully made. This app is exactly what I was looking for.

O70%
by O####:

The app works very well, and does not seem to drain battery extensively. Backgrounds are always beautiful and I love the dynamics of the live weather. My only complaints are that sometimes the weather is inaccurate/slow to update, and that you must manually change the color of the trees/seasons. But overall, definitely a beautiful wallpaper worth a look!

I'm a nature-loving girl, who really finds it relaxing to spend time in the nature. I sadly don't have so much time anymore, but it's amazing how the trees' soft "waves" from the winds also gives that effect. The weather changes in it are amazing as well, even though when my weather widget says "showers" there's no rain. Maybe that could be added? ^^ Also good job in general, Kaka! Keep in touch with users and reviews; everybody likes active developers who actually listen ^^

Only problem is that you can are it to just lock screen, with the number of apps I have on my phone you can't see the background very week well. On my lock screen however it is very good to have a nice live wallpaper. I would love to know why it can't be in only the lockscreen.

I love the feel and the idea of the wallpaper and how simple but still satisfying​ it is ,just one suggestion. for me the simulated scrolling is a bit jittery when i scroll to a certain point that scrolling on the background just stops until i move the other way and then it starts again but then again it stops when i reach a certain point

What a beautiful, serene, simply lovely wallpaper! Even if some of the bells & whistles don't work, I still love it. It looks wonderful on my Galaxy Note 5. However, I do wish the stars were brighter or bigger & hung lower in the sky cuz they're only visible in landscape mode which means I can't see 'em on my Note 5! Thank you though for generously sharing what to me is truly a work of art!

Fantastically simplistic but beautiful. Reminds me a bit of the style of Altos Adventure. Is now my residential wallpaper with minimal battery drain and wonderful style. only request is a sun or moon as night time can look very dull and stars don't appear to be working for me. Otherwise a fantastically designed app. EDIT: Live weather doesn't appear to be working and after checking on Android Authority it has confirmed this. Please update app description or fix this please!

It's absolutely gorgeous but the live weather doesn't work. I've tried both weather options but neither of them update. Right now the app shows its slightly cloudy but it's raining fairly hard and there's nothing but clouds in the sky. I love the app and plan on using it but the live weather not working is a bit of a disappointment.

E70%
by E####:

It's beautiful and it pairs amazingly with my launcher but.. The weather isn't exact. I've tried almost every thing and I'm sure I am just not doing something right but it shouldn't be that difficult. The best feature of this is so that the wallpaper changes as the weather changes but that isn't exactly happening for me.

Beautiful app. Deserving of 5 stars if not for one small hitch. If I have the rain setting on auto it constantly is raining on the wallpaper even though the sky is clear. And the weather in my area is sunny

J70%
by J####:

Everything is great except that it has a really hard time getting the weather, for days at a time. This is a bit of a sticking point for me since the things I love most about this wallpaper are the real-time features. Maybe there's a better weather service? Google maybe?

I love this Wallpaper. The inly thing I ask is I live in Upstate New York near Canada. And up here it snows well into spring. But on my wallpaper it will show the snow but it wont show but the trees will all still be green. I wish that when it snows no matter what season the trees change color. Pretty much i wish the trees changed alot mor color. Like in fall make res yellow brown and in spring add flowers and when it snows make it white. But besides that its awesome.

Five stars for sure when auto location is working properly :) amazing wallpaper ....updated.. device location setting works it seems. Really slow to grab location and I'm not 100% sure it's sticking. Will update soon. Thanks dev for checking in!

I think fog lighting would be nice and I thought of you adding a camp fire prop to add light may not be the best idea but it's at least something to think about another idea is would be different themes you can use for example a city background or a home background or maybe a forest with a lake or an ocean I know these are crazy things to add but who knows these things could be cool.sorry if this review is long but one last idea is to add birds and control the population and at night add fireflies and be able to control the population. Oh and can you let me know when the next update comes out if you can't that's fine

This app is amazing it is so good looking and you can make everything different colors and manually set the rain and snow and wind. If you're wondering this has not effected my battery performance.
