### 4/5 — Useful but

*2026-04-29*

It would be useful if an uploaded PNG image with transparent background was resized for the landscape dimensions, I had to adjust some to ensure the image wasn't cropped.

### 3/5 — Icons not round

*2024-10-15*

The icons generated are not rounded. The icons I import in Xcode appear as squares and my app looks like a square...

### 1/5 — wish I read the reviews

*2022-05-20*

I just spent .99 to waste my time.  Nearly useless app.

**Developer response:** Hello
Thank you for your review, please could you let me know what features you were looking for when downloading the app and if there is anything that could be added to improve the app experience?

Thanks 
Tom

### 5/5 — Handy!

*2022-03-22*

It works perfectly well. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Great, thank you!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-01-25*

Does not work! Demands 1024x1024 minimum Image size even if the Image is larger

**Developer response:** Please make sure you have the latest version of the app installed

### 4/5 — Alpha is not removed

*2021-01-26*

For apple watch icons, alpha channel is not removed

**Developer response:** Please make sure you have the latest version of the app installed

### 1/5 — NOT WORK

*2021-01-01*

My image is big, bigger than 1024px x 1024px, however the application says: "The image you have uploaded is too small. The minimum size is 1024px x 1024px". I keep imagining the other apps that you produce.

**Developer response:** Please make sure you have the latest version of the app installed

### 5/5 — Delivers the goods

*2020-07-04*

This app does exactly what it promises and is very easy to use. The seller responds quickly to inquiries.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback

### 2/5 — Regret purchasing

*2018-10-21*

File names are not standard and does not round the edges of icons to meet Apple design guidelines.

**Developer response:** Hello
The app renames the files to the sizes to make them easier to know which icon size needs to be added to which drop zone inside Xcode. As of the date of creating the app, Xcode does not require the app icon edges to be rounded for iOS apps, and Xcode in fact requires the icons not to have an alpha value, making rounded corners not an option.

Please let me know if you have any other questions about the app.

Thank you

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2018-02-10*

The exported icon names are weird. It should be blabla-16, blabla-16@2x, blabla-16@3x, etc.

There shoud be a visual notification in the app when the generation of icons failed or succedeed.

I believe, there are better tools online, including scripts which you run yourselves and export your icons.
For instance, one I recommend is the "ios-icon-generator" on GitHub.

I had high hopes for this app, but it failed to deliver.

**Developer response:** Hello
Please see the latest version (1.3) of App Icon Generator that now has a checkbox to turn on this naming feature and now displays a notification to let you know when your icons have finished exporting. The notification also includes a button to quickly open the export location in Finder. 

Please contact us if you have any questions about how to use this feature: tom@smudge.cloud
Thank you
