WallCube Lock Screen Wallpaper is an iPhone app with a library of photo wallpapers that, the listing says, move with depth as you tilt the phone. Browsing and downloading are free with no ads and no account, according to the listing, and a weekly or yearly Pro subscription adds an AR poster preview, photo tools and saving without a watermark. User feedback is thin and old: the newest review in our data is from November 2023, and the app was last updated on November 3, 2026.
Quick verdict
If you want photo wallpapers with a depth effect and you like knowing who took the picture, WallCube is worth a look. The listing says every wallpaper is licensed from a photographer and credited by name, and that you can download them for free. Depth Blur, Text Behind, your socials on a wallpaper, the 3D Room Poster and saving without a watermark need Pro.
Reviewer feedback is a weaker guide. A few early reviewers praised the look, and two said it suited iOS 16. The most common complaint, from a few reviewers in November 2022, was having to pay for wallpapers; the current listing says downloads are free. None of these reviews is newer than November 2023, so read them as history.

What is WallCube?
WallCube is a wallpaper app for iPhone from developer Alexio Vay. The listing says your iPhone works out how far away everything in a photo is, so the subject stays in front and the background falls away behind it as you tilt the phone. You can save a wallpaper as a Live Wallpaper that, the listing says, plays the moment your iPhone wakes. The app also has widgets, an AR preview for printed posters and photo tools.
Key features
- Depth wallpapers: the wallpaper moves as you tilt the phone, and you can save it as a Live Wallpaper.
- Credited library: three hundred wallpapers in eighteen categories, ranked by what people liked and looked at over the last seven days. The listing says each one is licensed from the photographer, credited by name in the app, on the widget and beside every download, and that part of what subscribers pay goes back to them. It also says nothing in the library came from a model trained on somebody else’s style.
- 3D Room Poster (AR): point the camera at a wall and the picture hangs there at its real size. You can photograph the room with it in place, and the listing says it is still hanging the next time you open the app. Pro only.
- Socials on any wallpaper: add your handles with the platform icons, placed and sized where you want, and save the result to your photos. Pro only.
- Depth Blur and Text Behind: lift the subject out of a picture, put a word behind it, or blur the background, on the phone. Pro only.
- Widgets: today’s wallpaper and the artist behind it, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen.
WallCube vs. what a lock screen app should have
“Listed” means the App Store listing names the feature, “Partial” means it covers part of it, and “Not listed” means neither the listing nor the reviews in our data show it. WallCube is mainly a wallpaper app, so most of the widget rows don’t apply to what it sets out to do.

Pros (from user reviews)
- The look: a few reviewers praise how it looks. One calls the wallpapers bright with matched color schemes, one praises “beautiful wallpapers with full description”, and one who gave 1 star still calls it a beautiful app.
- Suits iOS 16: two reviewers, both in September 2022, say it fits iOS 16. One calls it “the perfect app for the new iOS 16 customizable lock screen.”
- Free in September 2022: one reviewer in September 2022 praised the wallpapers for being free and asked for a tip jar. A few reviewers complained about paying in November 2022 (see Cons).
- General praise: one reviewer in June 2023 calls it a perfect, helpful app with excellent features.
Cons (from user reviews)
- Having to pay for wallpapers: the complaint we counted most often, from a few reviewers, all in November 2022. One says there were only 3 free wallpapers, one says none were free and calls it “Misleading,” and one who got the app during the iOS 16 beta calls having to pay a “rip off.” The current listing says browsing and downloading are free with no locked downloads, so these reports may describe an earlier version.
- Not much to choose from: one reviewer in January 2023 says there is “not much to choose from” and wants a refund. A 5-star reviewer in October 2022 asked for more categories. The listing now says the library has three hundred wallpapers in eighteen categories.
- No updates: one reviewer in November 2023 says there had been no app update and no new wallpaper in over a year, expects more from a subscription app, and suggests another app instead. The version in our data, 2.1.0, is dated November 3, 2026.
Our sample splits evenly between 1-star and 5-star reviews. The data we collected doesn’t include a star breakdown of the 642 ratings, so we can’t say how common these complaints are, and none of the reviews cover the current version.
Pricing
WallCube is free to download. The listing says browsing and downloading wallpapers are free, with no locked downloads. WallCube Pro unlocks 3D Room Poster, Depth Blur, Text Behind, your socials on any wallpaper, and saving without a watermark. It comes as weekly and yearly plans, both with a free trial, and renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You manage or cancel it in Settings. Our data doesn’t include the prices, so check the listing before you start a trial.
Privacy and permissions
We couldn’t read the App Store privacy label for WallCube, so we make no claim about what data it collects, and our data has no permissions list. No account is needed, the listing says, and the 3D Room Poster uses the camera: you point it at a wall to place the picture. A privacy policy (wallcube.app/privacy) and terms (wallcube.app/terms) are linked from the listing.
Who it’s for
WallCube fits you if you want photo wallpapers with a depth effect, care that the photographers are credited and, the listing says, paid, and want to download them without ads or an account. Pro makes sense if you also want to edit pictures (Depth Blur, Text Behind), put your social handles on a wallpaper or preview a print on your wall with AR.
It’s a weaker fit if you want Lock Screen widgets for the time, weather or your calendar: the listing doesn’t mention any, and its widget shows the day’s wallpaper and its artist. Keep in mind that the reviews in our data are old, so check the current listing and screenshots before you subscribe.
