This is a beautiful app. Unfortunately, it slowed down my laptop. And for the first time ever,the fan on my laptop came on. I had to uninstall this. And this was VERY hard to do...

The writing on the upper left corner really ruins an otherwise beautiful live wallpaper. My macbook started overheating, the fan was going CRAZY right after I started using this app which has never occurred before.

Cost too many CPU

This app is very nice I really like the background its very sharp and realistic, overall Im very satisfied, however, my notification center does not work when this app is running and my three finger gesture scroll up to see my various different desktops Ive created on my macbook pro to manage my space does not work as well, an update to fix this would sure make this app the best!!

I like the app however it slows down the computer considerably and is pretty processor intensive. The one bug that I absolutely abhore is that the app completely stops running in the background (rotating and all) when you exit mission control. The only way to start the animation again is to open the app preferences from the icon in your menu bar and make a subtle change to a preference setting, the app will relaunch and the animation will continue. This bug really has to be fixed; otherwise, I like the quality and resolution of the images used and it is a good app to have (so long that you have a powerful mac [I have 8GB RAM]).

Though it does slow things down a bit , to me it is literally not noticable in the least bit. my only complaint would be the lack of color options. This seems as though it would be a rather easy update to perform , but would make the app so much more appealing. thanks for the awesome background!!!

Overall, I love it. Its beautiful! But I think there are a couple things that would take this live wallpaper to the next level. Id give a 5 star rating if it did these 2 things: 1) Used (way) less memory 2) Had an option to get rid of the text thats on top of the image (show facts checkbox in the prefs perhaps) Great so far, hoping for updates!

I must say that I was a bit disappointed about this app. I installed the app and in a few minutes time I heard the fan going off in my new MacBook Air and also I felt that area being very warm. I would say HOT. I finally had to delete that app so the program would stop running. I was not able to do much with the app. Maybe better luck next time. It would have been nice if this app was working correctly for wallpaper. Best Wishes in the future on this app.

This is a pretty cool wallpaper/simulator. However, it needs more options. For instance, it only seems to work on the main display, I have 2. Id like to see options for setting it to just the 2nd display, since its the one lest covered by application windows. Id also like to see support for multiple spaces, so I can set different different Galaxys on different spaces.

Absolutely beautiful concept and visualization. Unfortunately, it is a graphics guzzler and does need some backend code optimization. In a next version, I would like to be able to rotate the spiral galaxy 90º on the X axis, so that it could be viewed from the side as in Mountain Lion’s desktop picture.

Looks great BUT is a CPU/Battery GUZZLER

It looks absolutely gorgeous. But seriously lacks decent optimization. It uses up way too much CPU on the windowserver’. Can never use without plug.

Will not work on Mojave!

I downloaded this app. It said that it would work on my Mac using 10.7 or better. It downloaded, but won't open. Mojave users stay away!

Looks terrible

I was pretty excited buying this expecting it too look beautiful espcially sense so many reviews mentioned how much it slowed their computers down. But it pretty much looks terrible and has very little options. :/

Looks great BUT is a CPU/Battery GUZZLER

It looks absolutely gorgeous. But seriously lacks decent optimization. It uses up way too much CPU on the 'windowserver’. Can never use without plug.

Great Little App, but has room for improvement (don't we all)
