Runs as a small 2.9Mb executable (the 10.6Mb GOTD download contains the GOTD wrapper, hence the size disparity)and is a stand-alone: it doesn't install into Windows. It's not a resource hog.

Lack of publisher information isn't a good thing and the absence of signature *may* trigger false positives in some AVs. However, it's clean (according to Malwarebytes PRO and Kaspersky AV.)

Settings are minimal (Fill / Stretch / Fit) with Fill being the default. It plays perfectly in 16:9 widescreen, unlike many of the Astro-Gemini offerings that appear here.

Wave animation is good but the colors are virulent. The yacht itself isn't actually sailing anywhere, rather is anchored in position and bobs up and down. There's no sound, which is certainly one way of minimizing the app's size but is a disappointment: this would've been all the more effective for some waves-and-wind audio.

Verdict: OK-ish. The app can actually be DL'd directly from the publisher's website and run for an unlimited number of 3-minute test periods if you wish to check it out first.

Thanks to GOATD and the developer. This isn't a keeper for me but everyone's taste is different.

I mistakenly downloaded this tool as Screensaver.
But to my pleasant surprise it was wallpaper. Animated wallpaper to be precise.

It's just like Live Wallpapers are there in Android. But unlike Android, this one isn't heavy on resources. Does what it claims. A beautiful Yatch sailing in a sea, with animated waves. Pretty neat. There are handful of general settings, like Aurotun, picture position etc. Some icons on desktop looks funny over the animated wallpaper. Using icon smoothing only makes it look blur. But that's acceptable, consider I don't keep much icons on desktop anyway.

Overall, I liked the concept of animated wallpaper (or live wallpapers), and can use more such wallpapers. A keeper.

Not very realistic. Water looked horrid, yacht moves up and down. That's it for it. Sky looks good, but not good enough to keep. Seen much better screen savers for free. Sorry but this one is dead to my machine

There are two problems: a) cannot coexist with "Fences" i.e. icons that beforfe were separated into various "Fences" panels are lumped together into one big icon field and b) once run there is no way to stop the animation except killing the "Service" through the Windows Task Manager. Also: the animation is anything but realistic as the Yacht remains stationary and all that moves are the waves.

Just ONE wallpaper for 8 bucks? Not a keeper for me!!

How about have a chance to select about over 25,000 wallpapers for FREE, with the ability to automatically change them at a given interval and category??

Too good to be true? Certainly NOT!!
