I bought it and don't regret. I have tried different apps for desktop wallpapers both free and charged but this one seems to be the best as it's very multifunctional. You can easily check weather forecast for today, choose a clock type and style, customize for each theme you like and try a lot of other functions. Additionally this app has an amazing 3D effects of nature wonders. I like the Galaxies one the most. My conclusion: it's a great thing, try it.

There's no choice to run it in only one display, it automatically runs on both. That's the deal breaker for me. I really don't want this on my main display, just on my secondary display. Oh well.

Because I bought Mach Desktop before it became an Apple Store App, getting updates has become a big pain in the butt. I have to go to the developer's site and look for the link to upgrade. And today, looking for 1.0.4, not matter what I do trying to get to his site, I get sent to: http://www.hostvoice.com/formad/process.php?pid=25&category=10 All the links for the App in the App Store also point to this link. Could his site have been hacked? Anybody else having this happen?

It's a shame that it is only available thru Steve's store. Plus, WHY no try before you buy?

I really feel bad for people who only use the App Store and pay for things like this, when there are so many free alternatives.
