A $50 App That Sells Free Wallpaper? YouTuber MKBHD Is Making Bank—And Angry Fans

Quick Summary:

MKBHD launched a phone wallpaper app for $50 a year—and users all over the tech space were quick to bash it for the price and other issues.

It's crazy that the #1 tech reviewer known for advocating for quality and usefulness would release a cash-grab subscription app with terrible UI design, filled with ads, and offering mediocre wallpapers.

The pricey Panels collection includes one that is nothing more than a solid orange background (good for Halloween, maybe? ); another is a pixelated piano and a flat image of a tiny person walking on a blue background.
