Justin Riley		 I absolutely love this wallpaper. This app was one of the very first things I downloaded on my first smartphone back in 2011. Back then, smartphones weren't ubuiqitus yet, and were still amazing to me. It may sound silly now, but apps like this were kind of symbolic of the optimism I had for technology. That it could be beautiful and magical. I continue to download this on every new phone that I buy, and even just looking at the icon brings me back to where I was at that time in life.

Adam Bishoff		 Go back to darker colors. The colors are blindingly bright. Or add the option to have the darker colors like it used to....

Zach Lunsfor		 Agree with the comments, it was the best simple to setup and just works. But now the colors are too bright, half the time instead of showing up black background it is bright white and I liked it much better when it was darker. Should add an option to use the older version in app settings.

andy webster		 I agree with most comments, the best app of its type. One question would be why "fix it" if its not broken!!? Since the last update the colours are way to much.. more vortex colours than vortex galaxy! Where's the darkness?? It just floods the screen with colour where before you could see the stars and have some darkness as well as colour.. shame.

RustyC		 Multiple crashes trying to set it up. When I finally went to apply the wallpaper, it just applied a standard one that was already on the phone.

Jaxie		 One of my favorite live wallpapers. My all-time fave is the Shadow Galaxy by the same dev. I've had this wallpaper for years across multiple devices and it always looks just as beautiful and mesmerizing as always 😍

James Williamson		 The shadow Galaxy seems to be a lot more natural-looking to me from my studies of NASA deep space fields and knowing the ends and outs of how color layers are added to the photos. The Vortex Galaxy seems more as a mock-up to highlight hydrogen gases and so forth when the shadow Galaxy is more real to the naked eye.

A Google user		 Very beautiful, the app is even better than the shadow galaxy which has been on my old phone for about 3 years and until today on this phone as well. The only thing is that the colors were a little less rainbow. The shadow galaxy has blues and browns but no reds or orange. This has all colors which to me seems odd but the reds and yellows are fantastic. I still wish there were plantets and astroids large ones and and tiny. It would be a beautiful aesthetic to add.

A Google user		 I've been using this for like 7-8 years on every phone I've had. Just this past week though it's been crashing overnight? It's fine all day but when I wake up in the morning it's set as an Android default wallpaper and I have to reapply.
