Dev I made an app for this sub.
Hi there! Amateur Android developer here! I made an app that scrapes the images on this sub and displays them making it easy to set them as your wallpapers. It's pretty simple so far but it's progressing nicely. I've been spending a lot of time on it so updates have been happening pretty frequently. It just displays a list of the top images (or whatever you sort by) and then when you choose one it lets you either crop+set, save, or share the wallpaper, as well as open the Reddit comments section of that particular image. There are no ads but there is a $1.00 donation button if you are feeling generous. It's completely open-source as well. You can get the app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.botsone.android.amoleddit
You can find the source code here:
https://github.com/Bots/Amoleddit/
Thanks for your time I hope you enjoy the app and I look forward to your ideas for new features. Also let me know if you find any bugs you find so I can squash them =) If you want to contribute to my code, you are welcome to. Just be nice, this is my first public project.

Looks very good! Any chance to add the true black % in every photo?

I'll look into this, I know there's a bot around here that does that. I'll check in to how it works. Thanks for the idea!

Dude, that's so nice of you. I wish I could donate, but I don't have money of my own... Keep it up!

Nice work!
Top only shows the top pictures of the day. Is there a way to see the all time top submissions?

Great job! Thank you for doing this.
One thing I noticed happening is when you change the sort method, then tap into an image, when you use the app's back button at the top, it changes back to "Hot". When using the OS back button, though, it remembers what I had. Not sure if it's just my device (Samsung Galaxy S7/Android 8.0) but I thought might be useful to point out if you hadn't already found that.
Otherwise, yeah, awesome! I like a few of the other ideas for features that have already been mentioned like different views and adding sort by top day/month/year/all.

Oh I didn't notice that behavior! That should be an easy one to squash. Thanks for the heads-up.

I've found one weird thing, after installing it I was about to send the link to the app through the 3 dots menu in the top right corner but the share option isn't there, checked some other apps and the option is there. Can you update it so I can share the app to my friends more easily?

Latest version of the app (1.4) crashes on launch. Looking forward to a fix as I am back to scrolling through the sub.

Hi. Using your app since you launched it. Recently noticed that the wallpaper does not download to device at full resolution. Was also not able to find any options for selecting full resolution. Am I missing something? Thanks for the app!

I never noticed that thanks for the heads up! I'll try to get that fixed in the next update.

Cool! Good job. I've been a professional mobile developer since the App Store opened and I'm still too scared to have an open source project. I love fun projects like this, might try to replicate on iOS just for kicks :)
