Great App for Retina Wallpapers

50,000 + Retina Wallpapers

Latest Version 1.4

Size 1.4mb

You could this App for Free in Installous

or you could support the developer 

in the App-store for a dollar.

 The Retina App is a                                                                                  awesome app that you could

 use for tutorials, manipulations, and etc. 

Ill be showing you a review of Retina.

                                                  

 So when you Go to the Retina wallpaper,

It's going to show you all the different Photos 

that this app has it would take you a long

time to look thru all of this Photo  but in 

general this a cool app to have in your iPod.

If you don't want to Look threw all of this Photos 

you can also click on the magnifying glass

by clicking that it would have all the categories

from where you can choose from.

 As you can  in the image and the right side

you can see all the Categories just scroll down look 

threw the titles and choose on the one that you 

interest in.. There is more than 20 categories that you 

could choose from. 

 All of the Photos in the Retina App are

HD really good quality...

 I took a screen shot of every of the tittle 

From the Categories so that you could see what this 

App has.

 When you choose the categories 

you're going to see and check mark.

You can see the beautiful Photo 

i think those Photo are awesome especially

because the Photos are in Hd and i love that 

now here comes that tricky part i got fooled by it

i though that i could use my finger to change to the next 

page, no you cant do that you see the 

arrows on the bottom well you got to use those to see the

the other set of images but over all it pretty easy to use

but i do tell you this, sometimes you 

will get confused and forget that you

have to use the arrows to change the page.

 Now when you see and Photo that 

you like and you want to keep.

You see that the arrow pointing down with a circle 

around it well you click on that icon and it would 

save that Photo for you

in you're camera roll.

You would know when it saved to you're 

camera roll, it would say wallpaper saved to 

 camera roll.

I hope that you do like this App in my opinion

i love this is from where i get my wallpapers and 

i really hope that u enjoyed this :)

and we do apologize for the tardiness

Bookmark and enjoy :)
