### 3/5 — Not inclusive

*2023-02-19, version 1.1.1*

I would rate this a 3.5 just for the reason of not being able to app lock every app. If you are going to locks apps then might as we’ll make it available for all apps. But otherwise ok

### 2/5 — Not free

*2023-02-04, version 1.1.1*

Don’t see any trial options to check this app. It asked for money straight up it’s not free. it’s quite costly.

### 2/5 — Two stars

*2023-01-07, version 1.1.1*

Well ,the app could be more USEFUL if it can change any app icon on my iPhone and not just several apps

### 3/5 — H

*2022-11-11, version 1.1.1*

It works with like 10 apps making it practically useless.

### 2/5 — Review

*2022-09-07, version 1.1.1*

I hate that I have to pay just to get unlimited things I just want to lock one app

### 3/5 — No

*2022-06-30, version 1.1.1*

It makes you have to bye the stuff I thought it was free😢

### 2/5 — Not much options and apps to choose for free

*2022-05-16, version 1.1.1*

Yeah.. not good of an app

### 2/5 — Kinda good 😕

*2022-05-13, version 1.1.1*

When I click “Create Icon” one time it doesn’t work. So I have to click it MULTIPLE TIMES!!!!!! AND IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤😤

### 1/5 — 1 star

*2022-05-13, version 1.1.1*

Because you can only lock a few apps

### 1/5 — Just lock?

*2022-05-02, version 1.1.1*

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2022-12-05, version 1.1.1*

Can't get passed the creation of the personal icon. Website is dead.

### 1/5 — Boo

*2022-11-14, version 1.1.1*

It doesn’t let me use the other apps and I can only select the selected ones >:(

### 1/5 — Worthless and Pointless

*2022-10-06, version 1.1.1*

this all should be called AppIconCustoms not app lock cuz you can always go to search mar and search the app tap thx original and be right in with no passcode needed, nothing is ever actually locked unless you’re an idiot and can’t figure out how to do that some task

### 1/5 — This dose not secure any app don’t buy

*2022-08-14, version 1.1.1*

I purchased to protect my apps unfortunately this app dose not protect any app. It creates icon with passwords, and it will not hide the app and app can be opened directly without any passcode

### 1/5 — basically an icon maker, can’t select majority of apps, and why do I need to turn on camera?

*2022-08-02, version 1.1.1*

when I chose to select photos, it needed me to turn on my camera. ive used several apps such as ibispaint x and wattpad where I need to select photos and unless I chose to take a photo, my camera wouldn’t be required. so why do I need to do that for this app?
I can’t even use most this for most of my apps. the only two “apps or games” they work for are Roblox and Pinterest! keep in mind I have 10-20 apps/games. and a lot of them I don’t want anyone going into, so it’s extremely unhelpful there.
and why am I making an entire different icon? shouldn’t I just select an app, choose a password and move on? and if there’s an option to have a password, which is the only reason anyone would be downloading this, then you might as well just have made it an icon maker, because that was clearly the intention.

### 1/5 — It does not work

*2022-07-19, version 1.1.1*

I would like to have my money back

### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-07-12, version 1.1.1*

It doesn’t let you do anything other than pick icons

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-06-23, version 1.1.1*

This app does not work at all i tried to get it working for 10 min completely useless you cant set icons or make passwords or do anything the app advertises

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-06-14, version 1.1.1*

I paid for the year since a week is $3.99 and a year is $9.99 and if I’m gonna have an app hider I’d want it for more than a week and the price difference basically makes sense to $9.99 and I did so thinking that the app would actually work but nope it lets you set up the app icon and then when you go to create the icon it sends you to a webpage that is not active and nothing else happens. I better get a refund because this app doe nothing

### 1/5 — What the actual

*2022-05-29, version 1.1.1*

I don’t know what this is but it’s not what the title proclaims. My daughter downloaded this app now honking it would change the icons and lock the apps but guess what it don’t do anything! I went to request my money back and the contact email is from an gmail account. I’m thinking this is a scam! How sad

How do I change the passcode?

### 4/5 — Missing Apps

*2022-12-20, version 1.1.1*

Good app and all, but the apps I need to lock aren't on the list. So you might wanna add apps that people have installed. (Probably all apps if necessary)

I don’t like that there’s not that much apps to put and that is all
