14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 8 sure comes with lots of great apps in the Windows Store and if you know where to look, you might find quite a few interesting programs that let you customize the looks of the operating system.
Backgrounds Wallpapers HD is one of the best apps of its kind, coming with a very large collection of wallpapers that can fit the desktop of both PCs and tablets. It works on Windows 8 and Windows RT, so if you have a Surface RT for example, you can install it as well.
There are more than 30 categories available right now, each with tens or even hundreds of pictures. The app also offers a pretty impressive feature lineup, that includes options to create your own slide show, block adult content, manage your favorite wallpapers, search the collection, add your own photos and preview a specific wallpaper on the lock screen.
“Backgrounds Wallpapers HD is your ultimate source of high-resolution Backgrounds, Wallpapers, Photos and Images for your Windows 8.1 device. FIND Images, SAVE to your Pictures Folder, Preview or Set as LOCK SCREEN Wallpaper, Set as ACCOUNT PICTURE. New Wallpapers added daily… More than 30 categories!” the official description of the app reads.
Basically, the ace up its sleeve is definitely the rich wallpaper collection that includes photos from very popular categories, such as animals, celebrities, food, technology, and cars.
At the same time, it also has a couple of dedicated sections, such a weekly wallpaper contest and wallpaper of the day in order to let you discover the most voted photo in the last 24 hours.
All backgrounds are in high-resolution and can also be downloaded to your computer if you'd like to use them at a later time. Ads are displayed throughout its interface, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem if you really appreciate the quality of the wallpapers being offered.
If there's one thing that needs to be improved, it's the way you can use the wallpapers, as the application allows you to set a specific photo as the lock screen background, but without offering support for the desktop. As a result, if you want to use a wallpaper as your desktop background, your only option is to download it, go over to libraries, open it manually and only then set it as desktop wallpaper.
Overall, this is clearly one of the best apps available in the store, so go ahead and download Backgrounds Wallpapers HD right now to see what it can do for you.
