Popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, also known as MKBHD, has responded to the criticism surrounding his newly launched wallpaper app, Panels.

The app was launched as part of his iPhone 16 review earlier this week, something that usually attracts a lot of attention.

“Part of building in public is getting mass feedback immediately, which is pretty dope. Almost exactly like publishing a YouTube video,” MKBHD said on X. “As far as pricing, I hear you! It’s our own personal challenge to work to deliver that kind of value for the premium version.”

He also promised to reduce the frequency of ads for the free version.

The Panels app is designed to provide access to a curated selection of high-resolution wallpapers from digital artists.

The Panels Plus subscription, priced at $49.99 per year or $11.99 per month, allows users to download all wallpapers in high resolution. A more limited selection of wallpapers is available for free, but only in standard definition and after viewing two ads.

Many users took to social media and criticized the numerous ads, inadequate security that enabled users to download wallpapers, and an exorbitant initial price.
