Die App ist also GAR NICHT KOSTENLOS!! Die Entwickler sollen natürlich Geld für eine gute App bekommen, aber nicht mit so MIESEN TRICKS! Ich hab die App sofort gelöscht, das empfehle ich allen anderen auch, denn keiner sollte mit so MIESEN TRICKS Geld verdienen!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-04-30, version 3.02* Literally doesn’t even work. Can’t believe I paid 5 dollars for nothing. This is a scam, do not download. ### 1/5 — This app is 🙄 *2024-04-30, version 3.02* You had to pay for one icon! ### 3/5 — Not bad *2024-03-05, version 3.02* It’s not bad but I have to pay to change my apps icon 🫤 ### 3/5 — awesome *2024-01-20, version 3.02* if you’re like me you’ve been looking for an app to customize your phone for dayssss . This app is amazing and INCREDIBLY EASY to use. however, what the reviews DOnT tel you is that you have to pay 4:99 to unlock it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-12-04, version 3.02* Super confusing to use would not recommend ### 4/5 — Almost has to pay EVERYTHING *2023-12-03, version 3.02* Its a good app but the most annoying thing about it is that you have to pay for installing a icon you made! I mean like if you don't mind paying that's ok but if you don't, DO NOT I SAY DO NOT download the app! ### 1/5 — Want you to pay just to change the icon of a app *2023-11-20, version 3.02* Why would you want someone to pay whenever there’s apps that don’t even need you to pay to change the icon of a app ### 1/5 — Honestly ok. By: leeanna or in mandarin 丽安 *2023-11-05* So I downloaded this app because i have an app called color widgets ( go check it out after reading) and you have you pay money so get certain widgets,icons and wallpapers after you paid your one time like you can have it and everything on the app so i thought you didn’t have to pay to install the icons but that wasn’t the case because as you guessed it you have to pay so you know what I didn’t pay and I just deleted because it was literally useless. You would have to pay to download an icon. And it was annoying. So I deleted the app and i still have color widgets. ### 1/5 — Easy Install does not work. *2023-11-01, version 3.02* I purchased pro version only for Easy Install function. But it’s not working. ### 3/5 — Ok…. *2023-10-25, version 3.02* It’s a really cool app but you can’t actually use the icons because you have to pay. But if you do pay it’s just five dollars but kinda annoying. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2023-09-24, version 3.02* Dude I hate it nothing is free ### 1/5 — It’s bad *2023-09-21, version 3.02* I would give this a zero if I could you can’t change the Collars or pick anything it’s just a few symbols unless you by premium highly don’t recommend. ### 1/5 — MONEY *2023-09-04, version 3.02* You have to pay for it ### 1/5 — Geld zurück! *2023-08-31* Ich hab mir die App geholt in der Hoffnung das ich mein Handy ein wenig aufpäppeln kann! 5,99€ umsonst dafür bezahlt das ich mein Icon zwar gestalten aber nicht ändern kann. Das heißt in der App selbst kann ich mir ein Icon erstellen, aber das war’s auch! Ich kann es nicht auf meinen homebildschirm sehen obwohl ich auf easy install geklikt habe! Ich verlange mein Geld zurück! 😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-31* Have to pay for everything which the worst ### 1/5 — I may be wrong but this is bad *2025-12-22* WHY is it paid to install da apps I rlly dont like this bc im ten and people like me want to do things but cant bc they need to pay money SO IF you are gonna make a game less then 12 make everything F.

It costs some money to do the whole thing DO NOT BUY OR INSTALL ### 1/5 — EXCUSE ME *2024-11-11* WHY?? Ok so I download this, looking to make some cute icons for my wallpaper+phone icon makeover, I create an icon and go to install it. I finish the steps and I press install icon and it comes up with the thing that’s like premium for £4.99 and I’m like um excuse me…? So I go back off it to find the way to install the icon and there is nothing else so im like OH GREAT, A SCAM. HOW FUN. I’m so annoyed right now I made a great icon and I can’t even install it. If that wasn’t the way to install the icon then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me because now I have to go look for another app icon maker for like an hour. DONT DOWNLOAD THIS ITS A SCAM. Thanks for reading. ### 1/5 — I have officially lost 5 dollars for no reason *2024-09-22, version 3.02* It didn’t work when I opened the website there was no add to Home Screen button idiots ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even use it after I payed the money *2024-08-30, version 3.02* I’m really upset because I payed the money to be able to even use the icon I made. Then, it said I wasn’t even able to use it. I would like my money back. 👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Mad😡 *2024-08-13, version 3.02* I thought it was free I'm si mad u still have to pay! Im super angry but other than that idk if it's still good. In conclusion don't download this app if u dont wanna pay money! 😡😡😡😡😡😡🙄🫵 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best Thing I’ve Downloaded *2023-04-22* It’s actually pretty good! But there’s one tiny little request that I would like to make: Add Safari as an app that you can change icons please!!! ### 5/5 — Gute App *2023-01-21* Habe schon lange nach so einer App gesucht.Werde jetzt noch ein bisschen rumexperimentieren und mir dann wahrscheinlich die Pro App holen . Update: Habe mir jetzt die Vollversion geholt und nicht bereut 👍 Diese App ist auch zum erstellen von BBCODE nützlich. Das einzige Manko das Ich die Einstellungen immer neu konfigurieren muss. Trotzdem 5 von 5 ### 5/5 — I am smart *2022-07-28, version 3.02* If you just screen shot then you don’t have to pay ### 5/5 — Good for why I need it *2022-05-18* I wanted to make icons but I needed a reference (or mobile app icon templates) to look at all once. Use it in design apps… Easy to install. They don’t have all the app icons, just the basics. For basic use and functions it’s free, and though they have a limited selection, all these icons will work with any theme you decide to use on your iOS. If you’re really bad with tech or need more variety, then pass. Or get help from someone who is. If you’re able to follow the directions they give you and need something easy to install, these look really nice. Or, if like me, just need a reference of icon packs, this works great. Cuts down on the design process. ### 5/5 — UPDATED: Perfect for iOS Shortcuts, Paid Version, No Regrets! *2022-05-06* This app has greatly improved over the last few updates. The wonderfully clever functionality is so easy to use, especially finding an icon- which is generously provided for you. There are so many to choose from, grouped by themes, and easy to search for. Custom icons easily made too from image files. Backrounds are perfect solids or gradient. Sizing, offset all easily adjusted. If you are an avid shortcuts user this is a must haveIt helps avoid visual confusion between what shortcuts you have on your homescreen. The icons are saved as a .png so you can use them in other ways too. Paid version is worth it, support your active devs! ### 5/5 — I am IN LOVE WITH THE APP but..... *2022-02-11* I love this app but there is something wrong I can't make my icons change because it keeps crashing and second of all I can't edit any other app icons 😔pls change this 🙏🙏🙏it annoys me. I rlly want you to fix this problem it makes me disappointed. And (*ˊᗜˋ*)ᵗᑋᵃᐢᵏ ᵞᵒᵘ♡ ### 5/5 — LOVE *2021-12-05* not sure why this app is rated so low because it’s really good. i’ve customized my phone at least 10 times by now and i’ve used this app every time. sure you have to pay for stuff, but i’ve found that i can do just fine with the free stuff they give you. ### 5/5 — This app is terrible. *2021-11-06, version 2.38* I only did 5 stars so people could see it, but you should NOT use this app. I downloaded it and was loving the icons. ...Until I wanted to change it up a bit. I came to realize that i can’t get rid of the apps on my home screen. Now they’re just stuck there and I can’t figure out how to get rid of them. ### 5/5 — UNDERRATED. *2021-07-28, version 2.38* Dude. I love this app so much. And it’s just amazing. These other reviews hating on it are completely false. It works perfectly and I really like it! Literally it even gives you instructions. So for all the people hating, you’re probably dumb. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-05-27* This is good for making icons, for anything, not just apps. Everyone sends bad reviews about having to use a Shortcuts workaround, but without hacking (jailbreaking) your device Apple doesn’t let you change app icons. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
