Whenever I went to make an icon, it was super easy. It was a breeze, and there’s only a minimal amount of ads which I think makes the app better. The problem is, I can’t figure out how to put the icons on apps and I don’t know how to put them on my home screen. If you could reply explaining how to do that it would be super helpful! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review. For any concerns/inquiry, please contact our Support Team by email for further assistance. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Confusing *2026-06-17* Hey! Sorry if I am taking up any of your time but, I was looking for ways to change my icons, and I found this app. I was looking at the reviews you had got, and they were great! Until I realized that when I got the app, I got really confused about how it worked and also how to put it for my icons, and just couldn't figure it out. Great app overall just a little bit of confusion of how your app works! Just wondering if you could add an tutorial just in case people didn't know how things worked like me, as an sugestion.

Genuinely I was extremely confused so I tried to go in it again same thing happened, I closed all my apps same thing happened, I restarted my phone and it’s still not working. Please fix this I don’t know what’s going on :( **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the App is not working properly on your end.

I read reviews before downloading the app and in reading your reply to one of the reviews you said “and here’s the cherry on top, the app is absolutely free now”. Well I downloaded the app and immediately it’s asking if I want the free trial or the paid pro version. I was excited to see that you actually took the time to reply and seemingly genuinely take into consideration the reviews that I read AND I was most excited about it being free! Well unfortunately finding out that’s it’s not free is disappointing and I can’t afford any more subscriptions. ALSO! Immediately after downloading the app I received super strange notifications about my phone having viruses (I can’t remember the exact wording) and that my memory was full or some sort of scammy stuff. Naturally I didn’t click on any of them,(several popped up) Although that is quite questionable and honestly scary!!! Thanks again for your time. I would very much enjoy using your app. I’m just not sure if I should because of the weird notifications RIGHT AFTER downloading it because it makes me think that downloading the app is what caused those. And I read your reply to a review and you said the app is free now but it’s not so it’s hard to trust and like I said I just can’t justify ANOTHER subscription. **Developer response:** Hi! We have a free and a paid version of the App. Our Premium (paid) version opens up more opportunities. You can try it out during the free trial. You may also wish to choose the free version with fewer features available. But we are sure you will enjoy the Premium version, it is definitely worth the money! ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-07-07, version 2024.1.0* Can’t even get past the first page unless you want to pay ### 1/5 — a basic app requires upfront subscription *2024-06-17* Such a basic app that wants a upfront subscription to use. Shame on the greedy business model. The app basically composes a SF symbol with a simple background. ### 1/5 — Disgusting *2024-04-22* I’ve been using this app for a very long time I used it to design my Home Screen for free. One day I downloaded a new app and wanted to create and icon for it to match my home screen aesthetic and all of a sudden I see I have to pay money to access the icons I’ve had for months, maybe even a year. Definitely deleting this app. Things like this disgust me. **Developer response:** I'm truly sorry for the frustration. Your long-term support means a lot and it affects me personally. Please reach out to me directly at mail@aplekhanov.com so I can help resolve this. Thank you for your understanding. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-02-08, version 2024.2.2* Beautiful ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-27, version 2024.2.2* It’s actually not bad ### 5/5 — افضل لعبة *2025-08-24, version 2024.2.2* واو (✪‿✪) ### 5/5 — 楽しい *2025-07-15, version 2024.2.2* アイコン作りが好きで楽しんでいます。でも課金は高いので…💦 ### 5/5 — Lizzie Affonso *2025-06-09, version 2024.2.2* Apple IPhone 13 Pro Keyboard Mouse Charger Battery ### 5/5 — aesthetic !! *2025-05-22, version 2024.2.1* actually really good for customizing ur app icons with images👍 too many ads. not good ### 5/5 — Nu *2025-04-28, version 2024.2.1* Nu ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-04-24* lol icon changer changes my icon and its so so so cool! ### 5/5 — AidanXavierO’Bryan *2025-04-21, version 2024.2.1* 5 ### 5/5 — حلو *2025-04-18, version 2024.2.1* ل --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
