I had to use a different one so it wouldn’t be, but it is still a pretty good app. ### 4/5 — PLEASE BRING BACK MY WIDGETS! *2026-05-24, version 3.1.80* Been using this app for years customizing my home screen with widgets. All of a sudden after an accidental update, nothing works!! App is just crashing out. :( ### 2/5 — Usually great app but is crashing now *2026-05-16, version 3.1.79* Been using this app for years but recently the app crashes whenever I go to widgets ### 3/5 — Not working well *2026-03-18, version 3.1.79* Every time I click on the widget page it closes the app. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-02-26, version 3.1.79* It never opened ### 4/5 — H *2026-02-23, version 3.1.79* Tienes que pagar y es tardado ### 1/5 — Errors *2026-02-21, version 3.1.79* I keep on receiving errors on the app, also the links are broken for the files ### 2/5 — Crashes on widgets *2026-02-19, version 3.1.79* I really enjoy the aesthetic the app provides but when I go to widgets the app just crashes 10/10 times. Would be great if it actually worked. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-02-06, version 3.1.79* The transparent widgets no longer line up so they don’t work. It’s been like this for while over a year and I keep waiting for them to fix it and they never do. Tried to contact them through the app but it doesn’t work. Waste of money. Use a different service. ### 3/5 — Bugging *2026-01-31, version 3.1.79* I been getting the response status code was unacceptable: 500 message, I keep trying to open the widgets tab but it keeps crashing as soon as I press it I have used this app before, it had no issues in the past, must be bugging out ### 1/5 — Wow *2026-01-24, version 3.1.79* This app was the best of its kind…3 years ago….now it’s pure garbage and needs to be taken off the App Store asap. I’m so glad I paid so much money for an app developed by a bunch of quitters. Yall suck. ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2026-01-15, version 3.1.79* Used to be great and simple to use now they’ve thrown a bunch of ads into the app that you can’t click out of unless you pay the premium price. ### 1/5 — TRASH *2026-01-10, version 3.1.79* This app is trash. You can’t download more than 8 icons even after paying $34.99 to subscribe. App support doesn’t work. Can’t get help with this thing. I am deleting this app & disputing the charges. ### 1/5 — Dead app *2025-12-30, version 3.1.79* I used to love this app and have had it for years but the devs have pretty much abandoned the app. There hasn’t been an update in over a year. Primary functions of the app no longer work, although devs are quick to make sure you’re still paying for your subscription. An error code pops up when opening the app, widgets don’t work, gifs don’t work and much more. ### 1/5 — Inappropriate *2025-12-30, version 3.1.79* Inappropriate content such as nudity ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This literally sucks *2026-08-23, version 3.1.81* This is probably the worst customization app I’ve ever used. If you’re not willing to pay(who is?) it’s not worth your time. I’ve used apps that are more accessible with much better variety. ### 1/5 — Contact Us Function *2026-08-03, version 3.1.81* How convenient, this was purchased in error by my minor niece and I want a refund so I tap the contact us link on ur app and it won’t open. Now Apple sees this as an overdue balance and I can’t purchase anything on my phone. Please refund my debit card. Also, you honestly charge people $34.99 to use an icon changer app? All the others are $8.99 or under. Total scam. ### 1/5 — Use Something Else *2026-06-30, version 3.1.80* There are just way better apps. I wanted to try out the subscription so I clicked on the 0.67 a week option and they charged me 30$ for a year. All of the customer service links in the app are broken. You can’t get all of the app icons in themes; you can only choose certain app links. If you choose a theme, they make you web links for the app instead of a bookmark or new picture, so when you click on the app, it takes you to a web page real quick and then to the app. I guess if you want to make your own theme, you could use this app, but there are better apps for that. Just get themify or make your own. ### 1/5 — Error 503 *2026-06-25, version 3.1.80* I keep getting a 503 error code so I can't use the app 2 days after I bought it ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2026-06-18, version 3.1.80* First of all, to unlock the icons you have to watch an ad just to unlock ONE icon. 67 cents a week isn’t bad but I’m not paying to customize my phone! ### 1/5 — App has not been working for awhile *2026-06-07, version 3.1.80* None of my gift widgets will load and I keep getting error codes. I’ve tried downloading and removing the app and nothing works. It’s frustrating that there’s no way to contact these people. ### 1/5 — Not paying to use *2026-06-02, version 3.1.80* I’m not paying y’all to use ur trash app. I will find a better one ### 1/5 — Um okay? *2026-05-25, version 3.1.80* It’s really nice but doesn’t work??? ### 1/5 — Horrible instructions *2026-05-13, version 3.1.79* Upon paying the 40$ to even get into the app you try and use it and are met with the worst instructions ever, “after you download you need to install, go to settings app, click the installed profile” yeah? Where’s that at? no option in settings lets you see downloaded files this isn’t a pc it’s an iOS phone you need more detailed instructions on what to do and how to do it. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-05-03, version 3.1.79* Waits until you’ve selected all your icons to tell you the app is in fact not free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brass *2026-06-01, version 3.1.80* It’s the best app it’s a game changer and it makes you lock screen and Home Screen prettier ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-30, version 3.1.80* Yes ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-25, version 3.1.80* I talk to face emoji and there are they told me to use you so I use you I really love it ### 5/5 — Sudden app crashes *2026-05-11, version 3.1.79* Been using Brass for years. Never had a problem. Now every time I open it and go to widgets it crashes. My desktop widgets not working either. Very frustrating. ### 5/5 — I love it buttttt.. *2026-04-19, version 3.1.79* As the top review same happens to me whenever I click widgets it always sends me back to Home Screen brass plz fix this I really wanna use the widgets thank you! ### 5/5 — Brass icon *2025-12-28, version 3.1.79* Ok so this is a good app I’ve been trying and trying to find a app like this and I did 5 STARS ### 5/5 — Cris cool *2025-11-15, version 3.1.79* Cool app ### 5/5 — Good *2025-10-05* Best luncher ### 5/5 — Good *2025-09-21, version 3.1.78* Gooodddd ### 5/5 — Can y’all chill brass is a good app *2025-09-21, version 3.1.78* Chill dang any I love brass it’s such a good app I don’t have it on my phone but I have it on my other devices and iff y’all wanna y’all about brass is and cause you have to pay for everything the get a different APP it’s that easy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
