Some words from the developer:
I made this live wallpaper application extremely customizable in the hope that users (who will be using this live wallpaper) can create the Earth Live Wallpaper to their own perspectives of how they want it to look like! Enjoy my creation! ^.^

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
[Q1] Why does the application need the Microphone permission?
[A1] So the Live Wallpaper can internally use the audio/music playback data for visualisation purposes (visualizer). The microphone is not used, however.
[Q2] What will change when I purchase a premium license?
[A2] All settings with a '[PRO]' tag will be unlocked. You are already allowed to try '[PRO]' settings, but these will not be applied when using the Live Wallpaper on the lock/homescreen
[Q3] Does the Live Wallpaper drain a lot of battery?
[A3] It depends the usage. The more the Live Wallpaper is on the foreground, the more battery it will consume. In most cases, Live Wallpapers use more battery than static wallpapers.
