Muzei

Features & Functionality

Ever wanted to use the trending blurry wallpaper for your android phone? What if i tell you that you can customize the blurriness of the image? Or dim your wallpaper and add the blur effect? Or automatically change your wallpaper every hour? If you’re interested, then read on.
Muzei Live Wallpaper is a live wallpaper app for your android phone. Everyday it will subtly change your wallpaper with famous works of art, or you can choose your favorite wallpapers from your gallery if you prefer. Because of the customizable blur and dim effects that it adds to your wallpaper, the result is a beautiful blend between your background and your icons. To view the wallpaper in all its beauty, just double tap the wallpaper. It definitely adds life to your boring home screen.
Why does it use the famous works of art? Well, according to Roman Nurik:
The word Muzei means “museum”, it is a transliteration of the Russian word  музей.
Featured artwork in Muzei is curated daily by our small staff and made possible thanks to WikiPaintings.org and its contributors.
Another note from the developer:
Muzei is developer-friendly. All the code is available at http://code.muzei.co and Muzei even offers a simple API that allows you to build your own wallpaper source. For API details, visit http://api.muzei.co.

Speed & Stability

This app is fast and is coupled with smooth transitions. It instantly responds when you tap on the buttons.
I encountered an issue when i tried to move it to my SD card. My wallpaper was blank after i have rebooted my phone. I quickly figured that out. So i move it back to the internal storage, rebooted, and voila! Problem solved. The issue i encountered was because of my other app that automatically moves newly installed apps on the SD card. So stability wise, I think this app is stable.

Interface & Design

Beautiful, elegant, perfect. The app was designed by Roman Nurik, a famous Design Advocate at Google. What more could you ask for? The designer clearly delivers top-notch UI design.
Simple, user-friendly, easy to use, with beautiful typography and smooth transitions. It’s definitely a well-designed app.
