### 4/5 — Nice!

*2023-02-19*

This app is great! I have made such unique icons with this app. I also like that it’s a one time purchase that is not way overpriced like some other apps. However, there are a few minor things that need to be fixed in order for me to rate this app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

1. Some icons, like App Store, come out black and blurry and impossible to change the color and make them high definition.

2. I tried to upload one photo and it didn’t come up. Are some photos too small or big to upload? If so, I think it should be listed at the bottom saying this file is too small or big or whatever other reason the photo won’t upload.

Other than that, this app is flawless. I would just appreciate if these problems were solved!

### 4/5 — Great app but I want more

*2022-06-19*

I stumbled upon this app by accident after using many of the competitor apps. This app is great and below are the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Multiple Layers
2. Actually imports transparent images correctly.
3. Able to assign shortcut.
4. Offers discount at launch that allowed me to purchase a a cheaper price. Of course I took that opportunity right away.
Cons:
1. No grid can be found. I actually want this feature the most. Especially when trying to recreate a specific size and position this is a must.
2. App has some minor bugs where the app refreshes in the middle of editing and all changes are lost.
3. Unable to find any ability to package up icons into family or groups.

Advice for users: Support your independent developers.

### 3/5 — Is there any way to use this app without shortcuts?

*2021-11-26*

The functionality here is great so far and I really appreciated the one time premium fee instead of a subscription! 
That being said, using the Shortcuts workaround to change app icons seems to mean that the Shortcuts app opens before the app that you’ve changed the icon for. Dev - is there any other way to do this?

### 1/5 — Useless app, you can make custom icons for free without it

*2026-06-17*

Use the shortcuts app. When you make an icon in the app, it just sends you to shortcuts. Simple and lazy. Why would I pay for something you can do for free?

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE.

*2025-10-25, version 3.1*

All of these reviews are bots. DO NOT GET THIS APP. You have to pay premium to actually use the app, which is not at all what i thought it was. My ipad stopped working after using this app, IT HAS VIRUSES. DO. NOT. GET.

### 1/5 — Not so good…

*2025-09-22*

When I got this app I made Only 1 Icon and it said I could only do one more 😒 Before having to pay a subscription. I wish this had been clearer in the app's description, And it didnt give clear instrutions on how to set the Icons on my app screen.

### 1/5 — I can’t make it work. How do I get a refund?

*2024-10-09*

How do I get a refund? It’s useless!

**Developer response:** Hello, the tutorials screen provides clear instructions on how to create and apply the app icons.

### 1/5 — Nuclear Reaction

*2024-08-21*

My phone exploded when I opened this app, I was in hospital for 81.6 weeks after this incident. It also triggered a nuclear reaction and my house is now contaminated with radiation. 
Very bad app do not download

### 1/5 — Not really that many icons…

*2024-05-31*

They claim to have over 3500 icons but there’s only a few that actually work for apps on my phone. Many are numbers or arrows, NOT app icons

### 1/5 — Too complex

*2021-03-17, version 2.2*

Maybe my age 🤪 Not keen on the instructions - I just wanted simple customisation. Unfortunately deleted app as soon as I downloaded it 😏

### 1/5 — It didn’t even download

*2021-01-18, version 2.0.1*

I decided to download this app and of course use it cute I was waiting for over 20 minutes and it still didn’t download. I don’t know if it was just me but if it wasn’t then I don’t recommend it.

### 3/5 — Kind of works, huge price increase

*2022-09-17*

The app was $3.99 last year and is now $19.99.   No way to easily center layers. Icon creation works well but I can’t find a way to edit icons I’ve already made - so I have to start over anytime I want to make a small change or correction. I want to love it but I’ll probably use something else instead.

### 3/5 — Hmm Medium

*2021-12-23*

Very expensive for the small amount of icons. You can’t edit created icons which is horrible too make tweaks afterwards. Import of own icons not possible… das would be a nice app with a little more features

### 5/5 — Would use lots

*2024-07-14, version 2.7*

It gives you all tools needed to create own icons alongside a tutorial for how to make and install icons. No premium membership so you get all tools

### 5/5 — The perfect Icon maker!

*2024-06-11, version 2.6.2*

I love this App!
Simple and straight to the point!
No:
“Buy a subscription”
“Sorry, No icon making credits”
“Use our useless AI features”
“Watch an ad to unlock a icon”
Just Icon making.

Pros:
No ADs.
Simple.
Easy.
Feels like apple.
Supporting a solo dev.

Cons:
No search button.

“Perfect. But no search button”

### 5/5 — Nice and Simple

*2022-03-13, version 2.5*

The lifetime subscription is only $13 and that’s not even bad, it’s a nice and simple app w/ tons of options. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Nobody

*2021-12-03, version 2.4.5*

This app is so good you dont have to pay for making icons!!!it’s so easy to use <3 absolutely love🤍🤍🤍

### 5/5 — Amazing app, but

*2021-09-01, version 2.3.3*

I love this app and it’s exactly what I have been looking for, however it is really annoying that you have to create each app icon individually. I wish you could select the icons you want to use and then mass edit them. like the changes you’ve made apply to every icon you select

### 5/5 — This app is amaze

*2021-07-02*

I love it very much I am so glad I gave it a chance this app does not disappoint

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I’m glad you’re enjoying the app!

- Matt

### 5/5 — Needed symbols

*2021-05-31, version 2.3.2*

Could you please consider adding symbols for the following apps: Facetime, Vsco, Discord, App Store, Settings, Photos, Camera, Poparazzi and Notes, app is great btw

### 5/5 — Just a suggestion if I may.

*2021-04-02, version 2.2*

It might not be beneficial for you to put an in app purchase on this as it shows up in the search results and many people might skip over it. As it does not add functionality I see this as a great resource nevertheless. The app stands on its own so much that they will realize the value in it and know that they can help create with you. That’s invaluable. So, you just make mention of  the details you had in the in app purchase description. But, you can put this under a drop down contextual menu on the top and make mention of this info and when they click on it, you can really elaborate. This way if you noticed that you get 10 times as many people purchase it, perhaps you can lower your price accordingly and it would be a no-brainer. Just my two cents. Thanks. I can’t wait to try it out.

### 5/5 — More apps plz

*2020-12-26, version 2.0.1*

I love this app so much I think there should be more icons like App Store and Amongus for example

### 5/5 — Read this if your wondering anything

*2020-10-23*

I definitely recommend this app, I do wish there was a center button to make the symbol/text snap into the center but other then that this app is perfect if you want to change the app icons without needing to pay 20 bucks.

Also for the people wondering what actually costs money, it’s $3.99 for a lifetime plan and you get:
•pre made themes (though you could make on your own. I think)
•multiple layers (adding more then 1 symbol/text)
•adding images (custom icon type images, you can change the background image for free)

Note I downloaded this app around 7 minutes ago so as you can tell it’s pretty easy to understand and navigate.

**Developer response:** Hello, I appreciate the nice review! I’m currently working on a update packed with new features including the snap to center option you requested.

Thanks,

Matt
