looks like it could be interesting but very obnoxious ads
You can support the developer via In-app purchase to get rid of those ads you know.

#43Why did you decide to make this mobile only? Personally I would use it the most from my computer, considered a port ;)
the app does have built in resolution for macbook retina displays

#44I'm getting a force close when trying to choose a picture on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II. I have no experience with android development and don't know how the force close reports work, but one was sent and I hope you can figure out the bug. Really looking forward to trying this out! Will be great for wallpapers.
I'll be looking into it. In the meantime you might experiment with a different camera (pick "System" in the "Camera & Gallery" option). And many thanks for your comment.
It looks very nice, but it's crashing on my LG G3 as soon as it loads. I see a white background and red/pink banner at the top for about 3 seconds, then it auto-closes. I'll keep it around and watch for auto-updates and hope it's fixed.

No, it's different. Here I've described how I'm working with photo-based patterns: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8968113 . More technical details on PolyGen's Medium: https://medium.com/@polygenapp .

There's a bug in Crosswalk which causes crashes on LG G3 (https://lists.crosswalk-project.org/pipermail/crosswalk-help..., https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/XWALK-3365). I will be looking for a workaround. Thank you for reporting the issue.

#48I've been paying an artist $15 per picture to do this for a project :O

#49It's nice, good work. I wonder if you might be better off without the ads though. Not much revenue, and without them you can possibly build a bigger user base as a reputation point for your resume.
The ad made me buy the in-app purchase instantly, even before trying (it's placed nearly in the way of the action button).
So in my case, the ad worked as a immediate trigger to pay.
(I would have bought it a 1€ directly in the store, without any hesitation, too. So it made no difference in the end. I'm just a little annoyed that in the future I might have to restore my purchase).
