Retina Display Wallpapers 5.1.2.1
For those who want to bring a bit of that impressive look onto their Windows Phone powered handsets, Retina Display Wallpapers aims to provide the necessary tools and content.
Beautiful interface and imagery
This app brings a downright splendid look, as it presents itself with a fine-looking animated wallpaper on the main screen, accompanied by some carefully designed graphics that resemble those you can find on iOS powered devices.
Going through the image catalog of this utility is done pretty smoothly, with a seamless navigation that has a barely visible delay when swiping fast through the high-quality wallpapers.
All the functions and commands are kept at hand, inside the menu that appears at the bottom of the screen, in order to allow as much space as possible for the preview.
On some occasions, after a few runs, you will come across a reminder that prompts you to rate and review Retina Display Wallpapers, but it can be discarded and deactivated with only a couple of taps.
Check out the wallpapers at a glance
This application offers a pretty good variety of images that are meant for you to use onto the home screen of your phone or as backgrounds for the lock screen.
A minor downside is that these pictures are not ordered according to any criteria, so each time you swipe through them or tap the arrow buttons made for navigating the catalog, the wallpaper that comes into view will surprise you.
Retina Display Wallpapers is designed in such a manner that is should make transferring the files a very simple job, as all it takes is a single tap on the dedicated button. When pressing it, a confirmation notification will appear and it informs you that the respective image was sent automatically inside your Photos Hub.
Unfortunately, this action is carried out extremely slowly, as the app seems to fail to send the images inside the local storage. More so, when selecting it as the lock screen provider and picking any of the wallpapers to be shown on the locked screen, this doesn't have any visible results. You will have a certain image assigned to be the wallpaper bot not any of those you pick from Retina Display Wallpapers.
There is a special package that you are presented with as a separate entry in the main menu shown in the home screen of the app, but this one is only available after you make a payment and purchase the full version.

Function6
Retina Display Wallpapers doesn't work as smoothly as it should and users have to wait a lot to obtain the expected results. |

A bit curious, the app needs to peek inside several sensitive areas of the system that are unrelated to its functionality. |
Battery4
The resources are a bit stressed when this utility runs for longer periods of time, so the battery discharges a lot faster. |

Almost all the features inside Retina Display Wallpapers are free to explore and use, but there is also a package that is only available after making a payment. |
Compatibility9
Ready to function on all the more recent handsets out there, the app only requires Windows Phone 8 and above. |
