### 4/5 — Help plz

*2026-01-05*

how do I change the position of the picture I use for an app icon??

### 5/5 — All icons are working great!

*2024-03-12*

The latest update brings the full set of SF 5.1 icons. The app works great even if it’s got a little bit of a learning curve at times.

**Developer response:** Hello NorthIsUp,
please update the app to version 5.8 for the latest symbols (SF Symbols 5.1). Some icons can only appear when your app and OS are up-to-date.

If you need further assistance, please contact support@startway.io

### 3/5 — Cool app but several sf symbols are missing

*2024-02-27*

The symbols need to be updated, as long as the one you need is there it’s great!

**Developer response:** Hello NorthIsUp,
please update the app to version 5.8 for the latest symbols (SF Symbols 5.1). Some icons can only appear when your app and OS are up-to-date.

If you need further assistance, please contact support@startway.io

### 5/5 — Works exactly as advertised; large variety of icons and great customer service.

*2022-05-05*

Had a problem, emailed the support and received a response in less than ten minutes. Issue was solved by the next day. It was actually user error, but they were still incredibly nice about it.

Very worth the money.

**Developer response:** Thanks, Yufaylei! Hope you enjoy the app. More icon collections will be available next week :)

### 1/5 — Zeit und Geld verschenkt

*2021-02-26*

- Icons sind pixelig
- Icons und Text sind nicht in der Größe änderbar + zu klein
- App hat große Probleme beim Rotieren auf dem iPad
- Interface entbehrt einem logischen Aufbau
- Der Export ist 342 Pixel im Quadrat und JPG!
- Die Übersetzung Deutsch ist noch schlimmer
Entwicklertool? Was für ein Witz!

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. Please contact support@startway.io for further assistance.

### 5/5 — Yes! Thank you!

*2021-01-17*

The MTS thing now works on the SE 2, and I am very thankful. It works great!

**Developer response:** Update: Thank you, and hope you enjoy using the app.

Thanks for suggestion. I will extend this feature to SE 2 soon.

### 5/5 — Works as described and great customer service

*2020-12-20*

I’m impressed how good my iPhone 12 screen looks now. This app gives me the ability to make my apps appear transparent (without a background). It does require a bit of learning but the tutorials are self explanatory and not complicated. I had an issue creating a specific icon and contacted the developer. I received a reply almost immediately, and the issue was resolved within minutes. I also suggested a couple of new features, and the developer contacted me later saying that one of those features will be added to the next app update. I’m blown away.

**Developer response:** Thanks for supporting BetterAppIcons. Hope you enjoy the app.

### 2/5 — Pas assez fini

*2020-12-06*

Bien pour effacer les icons du haut, puis plus on descend sur l’écran plus il y a un décalage avec le fond d’écran.. dommage, c’est super moche du coup !

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. Please contact support@startway.io for further assistance.
