### 4/5 — Bug

*2026-01-18*

Can you please fix the icon misalignment

### 1/5 — ios 26.1

*2025-11-07*

not saving in gallery

### 2/5 — Icons misaligned

*2025-06-05*

The transparent backgrounds of the icons are misaligned every time, whether using large or small icons. It’s the same issue that the “iconboard” and “transparent app icons” apps have. I really wish this worked because I love Sam’s setups and want to recreate them, and I have bought all of his packs for the past few years, but this app, just like the others, doesn’t work properly. Tried on iOS 18.3.1, and didn’t work so I updated to 18.5 to see if that was the issue, and it still doesn’t work. I am using an iPhone 13 mini, so maybe that is the problem? Maybe the app does not scale the icons correctly for the smaller screen size. Either way, the app unfortunately doesn’t work. Would love a fix in the future, because the app has not worked for me from the moment that I got it.

### 5/5 — Well designed

*2025-05-27, version 1.3*

I like how you can mass select your icons to the screenshot and drag them afterwards, it saving all my custom icons to the photos app was pleasantly unexpected.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-05-20*

Works really well and I love the clean look of the UI compared to other apps I’ve used.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the review! We've just released version 1.3 which adds support for export dock icons. Enjoy 🎉

### 5/5 — Works Perfectly!

*2025-05-17*

Update on my previous review. The only thing that didn’t work was no dock icons support. This had been corrected and works perfectly!  Cannot ask for more than that! Thanks very much!

### 5/5 — five stars so you see this

*2025-05-09*

it works good i just dont know how to get icons

### 3/5 — Apps Didn’t Become Transparent

*2025-04-28*

Hey Team, you have made a really beautiful app and I am a fan of Lumina Walls too. But I tried this app after watching Sam’s videos but my apps didn’t become transparent after exporting from gallery. 

Wonder if I am doing something wrong or if certain icon packs aren’t supported

### 3/5 — Awesome but one thing…

*2025-04-27*

Works really well and I love the UI but you can’t use custom icons in the dock area which is a shame, hopefully this gets fixed and then i’ll update to 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the review! We've just released version 1.3 which adds support for export dock icons. Enjoy 🎉

### 3/5 — Works Except The Dock

*2025-04-25*

If you use icons in the dock area you can’t customize them with this application. So you’re better off using an alternative app to get things done all together instead of using this application for only some icons.
