Farewell to Panels: The Popular Yet Controversial Wallpaper App

The journey of Panels, once a favored wallpaper app topping the charts on both Google Play and the App Store, has come to an official end. Despite its rapid rise in popularity, the app faced sustainability challenges and ultimately did not fulfill the vision its creators set out to achieve, as detailed in a recent official announcement.

Refund Information

If you purchased wallpapers or held an active membership, rest assured that any wallpapers you have already acquired will remain available for download until the service fully shuts down. Users seeking refunds for annual passes or subscriptions might be eligible for prorated returns — details remain to be finalized, so keep an eye on official communication.

What’s Next for Former Panels Users?

For those looking to replace Panels, numerous wallpaper apps continue to thrive on both iOS and Android platforms. Among personal favorites is “Backdrops,” a well-established app renowned on Android for years and now also available on iOS. While not an official recommendation, it is highly regarded for quality and variety.
