Laggy when swapping desktops

By Evanjd14
It works, but lags for a second and takes a second to remember the wallpaper the next screen has and change it as well as lags a second to allow me to swap to the next desktop space. disapointing as a Paid app
Crashing several times a day

By bzzlolo
I use this app about 20 times a day; it's how I clean up my desktop for screen-share meetings. Unfortunately, HiddenMe crashes everytime my computer goes to sleep (or every few minutes). I have to go to my dock and restart the app before I can use it again.
Is there a planned fix for this bug? It didn't happen when I first downloaded the app several months ago; now it's a constant problem. Boo!
Decent for the Price

I like this app /most/ of the time, the only problem is that I use alot of live wallpapers with animations, and when you enable this app to hide desktop icons, it also freezes the animation of the live wallpaper, which is annoying.
Please add a feature that will allow this app to hide icons and NOT disable live wallpapers.
Love this app, needs update for new MacOS Widgets

This app has been great for work and screen sharing purposes. Please update to hide widgets, or at least allow an option/setting, as per the Sonoma MacOS updates.
Flashes wrong desktop when switching Spaces

By GParker9
Two things:
1) if you have different Desktop pictures on different Spaces (but on the same monitor), when you switch between the two Spaces, the wrong Desktop flashes before the correct one is displayed. Rather jarring.
2) I don't have the pro version, but it does support two monitors. Before it only did the main monitor, i believe.
Erratic and unreliable

We pay for this one, yet it has poor coding. 23 of the time when I open it, it doesn't go to the menu bar and rmains unusable. Needs a lot of work. Save your money till the work is done to make this a competent, properly coded App

I installed the Hidden Me app, "opened" it, and a curvy blue arrow pointed upward to where I would expect the icon to appear. However, it never appeared, and nothing I could do would change that.
caused all sorts of problems

This app is evil. I spun my wheels for three months as it intermittently caused all sorts of issues with Continuity. Never again.
Dead App - No Longer Updated

By .: LoveFire :.
This app is long been dead, the support email is no longer active and results is failed send message; so no support for this app. It also uses a method for hiding the deskop icons that is rather conflicting to other apps by using a fake background wallpaper to hide them. instead of. using simple code commands that are more effienct and dont cuase issues. Try the app One Switch, way better is uses the same macOS code to hide and unhide deskop icons (in terminal) defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false (then) killall Finder (this way better method for apps to use) ---- APPLE TAKE OWN THIS APP THE DEVELOPER IS NO LONGER ACTIVE YOU CANT CLAIM INCOME FROM A DEV THAT IS NO LONGER AROUND. \
