Features:

Notification Bubbles is a cute live wallpaper for Android. Essentially, the app presents lots of bubbles which float upwards. Once set up (which is a simple process) the bubbles represent different notifications; Facebook notifications, Twitter notifications and Emails, plus missed calls and text messages.

The wallpaper is heavily customizable too. You can change the shape, color and number of bubbles. There are also a couple of different themes to choose from. You can select different backgrounds too.

I found that the app works very well and does exactly what you would expect. The animation of the bubbles is pretty good, smooth and relatively realistic. It’s good to see useful customisation options and a number of supported services; the Facebook and Twitter integration will probably attract those of us who use social networks a lot. However, a ‘bubble’ wallpaper might not really suit everyone. If you have a particular theme on your device, Notification Bubbles is something you are going to have to build around rather than it fitting in with your homescreen modifications.

In short, it’s a great app- does exactly what it says on the tin, but I think it might only appeal to a limited audience.
