TL;DR
- MKBHD is shutting down the Panels app at the end of this month, citing issues with finding the right development team fit.
- You can no longer buy collections, and you must download existing wallpapers before the app is removed.
- Users will receive automatic pro-rated refunds for active subscriptions, and the app code is promised to be open-sourced after shutdown.
Finding a good, free wallpaper for your Android phone is now very easy. Part of the reason for this is the prevalence of great resources in the form of apps and websites (like ours, which brings you fresh wallpapers every Wednesday). YouTuber MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) also took a shot at distributing wallpapers with his Panels app. It was an ambitious attempt, with some early mistakes, but these were quickly rectified. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and Marques has announced that Panels is shutting down.
