User Reviews

Users generally like Backdrop Daydream for its rotating, gallery-based screensaver and the beautiful, calming images. However, repeated issues undermine the experience: updates often trigger the screensaver to go black or prevent wake-up on TVs, and the app sometimes fails to display at all. Several reviews note that it sometimes won't show up or load reliably. Others call it bloatware or request more customization (info like capture date/location, pan/zoom, gradient control) and oppose having it feel mandatory on a TV. A few praise the visuals and overall concept despite the problems.
Pros
  • Dynamic, rotating screensaver made from a gallery of wallpapers
  • Beautiful, soothing images that users appreciate
  • Gallery-like experience with changing screensaver is appealing
Cons
  • Stability issues causing the screensaver to go black or the TV not waking, often after updates
  • Inconsistent loading: the app sometimes won’t show up or display
  • Perceived bloatware and frustration with it being a mandatory or heavy app on the TV
  • Lack of customization: requests for more info (capture date, location) and features like pan/zoom and gradient control
