Constructive criticism: 1. Remove ads. The goal should be to get as many people to enjoy the app. Nobody likes ads, and it ruins …

  1. I disagree that MKBHD didn’t do anything wrong. MKBHD has complained about privacy issues in the past, and this app he released is absolutely wrong-headed with regard to privacy.

    This is an app that lets you download wallpapers. Why does it need your location and identifying information? Why are they selling that information to data brokers?

    Panels is a massive data grab on the part of advertisers and data brokers, and MKBHD is encouraging people to give those untrustworthy players their personal data.

    I think MKBHD has indeed suffered a lapse in judgement here, and has done something which he should apologize for.

  2. A person with nearly infinite money has to release an app in an incomplete state?? You can literally buy a programmer to program your app for 10 k $ or less.

  3. An automation app is by far the most powerfully capable app which voice assistants and remappers are basically a part of which a human being can ever come up with most ppl will know who knows tech well so why a wallpaper app

  4. I would NEVER EVER pay $50 a year for any wallpaper app! You can literally download all those wallpapers on Panels for free. Who was the target audience here? No wonder it flopped!

  5. Don’t bash him? He’s literally scamming the tech community. He knows what he’s doing. He’s not stupid. He “missed” the mark? No I think he’s dead on. And idiots pay for hat stuff.

  6. I have always use Zedge, all in one, really good, simple and straight to the point. It has Ads of course, but at least gives you around 4-5 chances until you get an ad

  7. My favorite wallpaper app is Zedge. Had it for years now. Never deleting. All got my ringtones and notification sounds from Zedge as well. That panels is pure waste right now lol

  8. Yeah, I agree. This was great! Thanks. But, I think he is just trying to create an image from a point of value like money value. kinda elitist, which I hope not. Like, iPhone does.

  9. The reason it is the way it is because he has become so arrogant. He says one thing and thinks he own shit doesn’t deserve the same scrutiny. Simple. Needs to be brought back down to earth. Hopefully this will.
