Show HN: I've built an iOS app to create your own mobile wallpapers using AI

I'm Adrien, an indie iOS developer passionate about creating user-friendly, easy-to-use applications. I'm super excited to introduce you to my latest creation: Wally: Create your Wallpapers !
- Wally's Concept - Wallpapers add a personal touch to our phones. Often, we settle for what's easily available on apps or web, but why not make something truly your own? That's where Wally comes in. It's a straightforward app that lets you create your own unique wallpapers using AI – no skills needed. Every wallpaper you make is unique and exclusively yours.
I've designed Wally to be as user-friendly as possible, just like my previous apps. Creating a new wallpaper is so easy, just follow these three simple steps:
1. Choose a Subject: The subject is the central element of your wallpaper. A list of pre-defined subjects is available, with new ones added regularly.
2. Choose a Style: Guide the AI to achieve your desired result by selecting a style from our list.
3. Choose Color Tints (Optional): You can pick up to three color tints to influence the AI, leading to surprising outcomes. Or, leave the choice to the AI, based on your selected subject and style.
Then, all you need to do is press a button and... voilà! Your new wallpaper is generated in an instant. The whole process takes just a few seconds. Keep in mind, though, that the results might vary depending on the chosen subject and style, since we're working with the creativity of AI.
- Pricing - Wally is free to download. Wallpapers can be saved to the Photos library once 'unlocked'. Unlocking can be done by sharing the wallpaper on social media, or by going Premium.
I'm deeply committed to fair pricing. Hence, you can enjoy Wally without paying, thanks to the share-to-unlock feature. Premium users gain unlimited access to all features for $4.99/month. To be transparent, I'm not a huge fan of subscriptions but this is necessary initially since it’s very difficult to predict real AI usage costs. Once I have more data, I'm hoping to offer a cheaper plan, like $1.99/month, or even a one-time fee, if revenues permit.
Meanwhile, you'll soon have the option to unlock a single wallpaper for a one-time fee of $0.99, which should be great for occasional unlocks.

You may want to adjust the UI so that it's a bit more clear a user can "try" the app. Because it makes it seem like you have to subscribe and it initially comes off as one of those dark pattern apps.
iOS allows for the use of "animated" wallpapers. (it will, for instance, use the frames from a live photo). You can consider something like that for a future update. It wouldn't require full video creation, but maybe just subtle 3d or motion Effects of the existing AI outputs.

Thank you very much for your feedbacks ! Ohh, it was not intended to look like a dark pattern and don't want users to feel this way, I take note of it.
You're totally right, live wallpapers would be a great addition. For the moment the app is a v1.0 that's just been released today so a lot of improvements and new features are planned :)
