Mach Desktop 4k

Seem to be a nice app, has bugs, and what I like most, ZERO support.

If you have a 4K monitor you need this app. Its alot of fun and the graphics are stunning!

Downloaded app which is kind of big (927MB). The app is easy to use and runs smooth. However, out of the entire set of ‘live’ backgrounds, only a few are actually have decent active graphics. The ‘Milky Way’ background seems to be the most detailed one. Others have very littly, to no animation at all. I would recommend the regular Mack Desktop and not the 4K.

Does not work well on iMac 5K Retina

Doesn’t even show up in the desktop preferences, low resolution goofy looking desktop. Sad I bought it. Drag to trash.

If you have a high res display you need this app, so beautiful!!! And to the reviewer below, you customize it through the icon in the menu bar, not System Preferences, duh!

I downloaded this simply to turn my own stock footage into wallpapers, however I cant help but comment on the footage that’s included. I could have done better compositions myself on microsoft paint for over half of them. The awkward water animation pasted over pictures makes most of these unusable. There are about 6 wallpapers that are beautiful though, because they are just looped videos or subtle animating. My favorite bad one however, is the coffee desktop that has PLUMES OF BLACK SMOKE coming out of the coffee cup! What you guys did do well, you did really well, but the bad ones just make the elegance look like compensation. I would rate this much higher, but the options for your own wallpaper imports don’t have enough options as well as the FONTS FOR THE DESKTOPS ARENT 4K RESOLUTION. I can see way too many pixels on it.. If you guys fix the fonts and remove the horrible compositions then this app would be a fantastic addition to any desktop, however it is just not worth the money yet.

The included wallpapers are beautiful, and the widgets are useful. I like the app a lot, but I do have to call them out on the 5% CPU usage claim. The app does indeed stay below 5% but it causes the WindowsServer process CPU usage to increase by 20-40% or so on my i7 rMBP 13. With that being said I wish the app had an option to pause the wallpaper when on battery.

Stunning App!

This app is pure beauty, if you have a 4K display this app is a must! The fireplace one is especially stunning!

Just downloaded this today and was not expecting much but it exceded my expectations. Great selection of moving destops make it easy to find a few that you would like. I wish there was a place to download more or even paid add ons.

Timigin · 10 years ago

Wow!

Beautiful and stunning app with a great range of options to choose from :)

Won't work with Mojave 10.14.2

Developer needs to update this app. It won't work at all now!

Good App but some widgets need work

I really enjoy the live scenes and the ability to add widgets. The Weather widgets need work. They consistantly tell me that I'm going to have rain (in San Diego (92108)) when we have clear skys. All the other weather apps (Dark Sky, Apple Weather, The Weather Channel, WeatherBug) all accuratly show the weather. It would be great to be able to select different weather widgets based on preference.

Update broke it

Mach Desktop no longer works. It will quickly launch, glitch and then close out. Using MacOS Mojave.

Really nice

Very nice feel to the wallpapers, very relaxing

Disappointing. Needs new and better designs

They’ve taken the same app and slapped a whole bunch of different names on it. Itunes is even confused because it’s telling me to update an app that I don’t even have downlaoded. It’s confusing it with this one. Instead of changing the name and selling the same product sell upgrades to better wallpaper. The wallpaper that’s included is mediocre at best and they haven’t added any new ones in years though the software has gotten more efficient using about 125-150MB of memory to run. If you’re wanting live wallpaper and have your own images and designs it works well enough and doesn’t eat up too much memory. I have a thunderbolt display and I don’t see any difference between the mach desktop and the mach desktop 4k

Don’t buy it, for real

This is absolutly should in do not buy list. I didn’t believe the previous reviews, since I don’t know it is that bad. High CPU usage, high GPU taken. Just don’t buy it unless you want your computer burn!

Could be better

At first the App did render the video to a small square on the desktop, instead of fullscreen. Then I had to ask the developer via facebook page, how to solve the issue - and restarted the app, as suggested: Then it worked. However, this should be present on the Apps documentation website, and a restart should be made automatically after choosing the quicktime video. Anyway, it did what I brought it to do. Just need some polishments.
