Google Wallpapers

Google released its own wallpapers app on the Play Store this week. The app comes with multiple categories such as earth, landscapes, cityscapes, life, and textures that have a whole bunch of high resolution images in them. The earth category is particularly interesting as it has satellite images from around the world. All the images have a link leading to their source. A lot of the images are actually sourced from 500px. The app also has a feature where you can set it to automatically select images from a particular category and then swap it daily.
