APODroid App

APODroid sets NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) as your wallpaper. A new picture comes out every day, and the app picks it up on its own. The app is one page: today's picture with its title and date. Tap the picture to open it on NASA's website, or tap the star to save it to your gallery. Tap the title to read the astronomer's explanation. Settings:

Change wallpaper daily: checks for the new picture a few times a day, only when there is a network.
Where: home screen, lock screen, or both.
Video days: some days APOD is a video. Keep the previous wallpaper, or use a picture of your own.
Set as wallpaper now.

Privacy: no account, no ads, no tracking. The app talks only to science.nasa.gov. Permissions: internet access, setting the wallpaper, network state and starting after a reboot (both for the daily update). Saving to the gallery needs no permission. APODroid is not made by or affiliated with NASA.
