Rain Live Wallpaper for Android offers a collection of animated wallpapers for your phone.

Rain Live Wallpaper is a collection of animated wallpapers that are appropriate for Android smartphones and tablets. The app is free to download and use, but it is ad-supported. The ads are fairly unobtrusive, but they do show up right on your homepage. A pay option would be nice, and users who really like have a regular animated homepage for their phones may want to consider an option without ads.

The ads aside, Rain Live Wallpaper is a gorgeous collection. It includes 20 unique high-definition images that feature flora and fauna in the spring. The rain and steam animations are beautiful and smooth, and that’s made possible by OpenGL ES 2.0, which is compatible with most Android devices, and landscape mode as well as portrait mode is supported. It is worth noting that this process is intensive enough to hurt performance on older and low-spec devices.

Rain Live Wallpapers setup is fairly simple. From your device settings, select Wallpapers, Home screen wallpaper and then, Live Wallpapers. Finally, select Rain Live Wallpapers. You can set the specific wallpaper you prefer. You can also opt for the free rainy day live wallpaper, in which case it will automatically change your wallpaper each morning to something new and refreshing.

Even for high-spec devices where the performance hit isn’t a concern, battery usage is. This isn’t a problem specifically with Rain Live Wallpapers but live wallpapers in general. Can you afford the extra drain on your battery? The answer is personal and depends very much on how you use your phone. If the answer is yes and you want a free option, then you won’t do much better than this one.
