TL;DR

• Panels, a new wallpaper app created by Marques Brownlee, is introducing a new $2/month subscription tier.
• Annoying ads are being removed from the wallpaper feed, with an option to watch short ads to unlock HD content.
• The app has reined in its access to unnecessary permissions, addressing privacy concerns.

Marques Brownlee, the creator of Panels, has been making waves in the tech world with his new subscription-based wallpaper app. While some critics have been quick to pounce on the app’s perceived flaws, Brownlee has taken it upon himself to listen to the feedback and make necessary changes. In his latest video, he outlines the changes coming to Panels.

One of the main criticisms of Panels was its pricing, with some users feeling that $12/month or $50/year was too steep. However, the new subscription tier announced today may help alleviate some of these concerns. For just $2/month, users can access high-resolution wallpapers without the annoying ads that previously plagued the feed. Additionally, users can choose to watch short ads to unlock even more content.

But what about permissions and privacy? Brownlee has acknowledged that the team may have overestimated their need for broad access, and has since reined in their requests. This is a significant step forward for users concerned about their data security.

What do you think about the changes to Panels? Has Brownlee managed to recover from the initial backlash? Let us know in the comments below!
