Backgrounds – a wallpaper application under Entertainment category in iTunes Store which is among the top 25 FREE must have iPhone applications. This is one of my favorite application on my iphone because it lets me browse through and download all the cool wallpapers for FREE.
Best part is, the wallpapers are categorised very systematically. Very first screen puts the wallpapers into three sections - Popular, Recent and Categories.
Quite obvious, just keep scrolling left or right and check out all the wallpapers. Whenever something strikes your eyes, just tap on it and again tap on ‘Save’. The wallpaper will be added to your ‘Camera Roll’ from there you can set it as your wallpaper. All downloads are free and there is no catch involved.
And if you don’t have patience to see what all is available, just do a search within the application and download whichever you like out of the search result. So how is that.
Let me tell you something more, as far as I could browse through, only thing I can say is, ‘Looks like all the images are manually selected for the application.’ They are all really beautiful. See some examples below in the slideshow:
(All images are downloaded using Backgrounds application on my iPhone and the credit for these images goes to their respective owners.)
What do you say? Did you like this application? Is there any other application compared to this and still free? Can you suggest something better? Let me hear you in the comments.

hi, since you’ve mentioned backgrounds, I think you may also like to check out the new wallpapers app: iWallpapers, it’s also free and more easy too use.
http://itunes.com/apps/iWallpapers
I like the app, but tried to e-mail myself a background for use elsewhere and never received it. Thoughts?
What did you do to email yourself the background. You should have received it if you email the wallpaper after selecting it from the Backgrounds app on your iPhone.
Let me know if you still see the issue receiving it.
I really like the wallpapers and I want to download them for my laptop. Does anybody know where I can find them on the internet?
get the photos from the application on your iphone, itouch, ipad, etc. Make sure the photos are saved in the photo album. Plug in your iphone into your laptop and a message should come up … the first thing that is listed from the message should say import pictures and photos. Click on that and your photos and videos would be downloaded. After photos were downloaded go where you photos are stored and what ever photos you put on there should be there
*this is going to download all of the photos on you iphone.*
hopefully this helped you out
Nice review! While it’s noble they allow downloads to be free, I’ve personally had a few of my photos swiped, in violation of copyright, and placed on the app for profit. Not ideal…
Great review…thanks for the post. Came across a site which had some pretty cool wallpapers.
