Apparently GAOTD decided that a paid screen saver is something people would want for some unknown reason, despite the fact that people generally DON’T CARE about screen savers. This shows perfectly with its 24% approval rating. It isn’t even a good screen saver.

Not sure why you would want it, but here you go anyway.

Today’s release seems like a complete waste of a good GAOTD day. It is an image editing software with all the features of every other software available on the market. Meaning its about as unique as a grain of sand at a beach. Approval rating: 58%. I’m not sure what you would want to use it for, and its only real useful feature as far as I can see is the Batch Convert mode.
