There is a color slider, but impossible to get the right color because there are no options to enter color codes, and you can spend a lifetime sliding the color bar and never get the color you want, let alone duplicate it again. I can’t see how you can switch to subscription only with that huge flaw in the design. Please fix it so l have the motivation to pay for a subscription. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Good but confusing *2025-10-17* I downloaded it and got really confused and deleted it but 5 minutes later I re downloaded it seeing again and started getting the hang of it and now I use it! ### 3/5 — Cant find add to home screen button *2025-01-17, version 1.6.3* Seems like an awesome app, I was able to start customizing an icon to add to my new phone theme-- but I cant find the Add to home screen button like it tells me to? ### 4/5 — Update *2024-11-06, version 1.6.3* Im sure this is great! But the totoral isn’t matching my shortcuts, can you update it so it can match apples most recent update, that would be greatly appreciated! ### 1/5 — Would download again if it gets fixed *2024-09-29, version 1.6.3* Has empty icon library ### 2/5 — Too awkward *2024-09-19, version 1.6.3* Horrible to use ### 4/5 — Library for the icon itself stopped :( *2024-06-28* I absolutely LOVE this app and I can’t find anything like it, but, unfortunately, the library where you upload and icon of your choice stopped. It was one of my favorite features. Please please please get this fixed as soon as you can. I want to change the theme of my phone screen and the icons don’t match right now lol :/ ### 3/5 — Library doesn’t work *2024-06-18, version 1.6.3* I would love to use this app, but the icon library does not work and just says “nothing to show” when I try to search. Is there any way to fix this? ### 1/5 — No icons in library… still *2024-06-09* Hello Mcfly, Anybody home? ### 3/5 — Having an issue *2024-06-01* So just got this app for icon customization but i literally do not know how to use the app without the library feature and sadly it does not work.. it pops up with "Nothing to show" when i search, overall a good app just hope they will see this and fix the issue. ### 4/5 — Wonderful app but an issue came up! *2024-03-14* This is seriously the best app I’ve ever used for making app icons. I don’t use the function that automatically adds the icon, I just do the shortcut manually but this is seriously so awesome for doing your own aesthetic phone screen! People complaining it adds a shortcut instead of actually changing the icon dont understand that no app can do that on iOS. this app allows you to design icons for the shortcuts and it’s super convenient but for some reason (just like another reviewer said) the icons that you use from the app won’t show up anymore when searching for them. It just says “nothing to show” which is tragic because this app was sooooo useful for me before this function randomly stopped working. I hope it gets fixed because it wasn’t happening to me at the beginning. Thanks to the devs for how helpful it was for me anyways because it saved me so much time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ehh *2026-07-07* I didn’t get any part of what to do and it wouldn’t let me save my icon if someone could help that would be great also I thought it would give me options or photos for my apps but I guess I have to do it myself!!!😡 someone please tell me I don’t have to subscribe to the app I don’t want to make in app purchases if I were u I wouldn’t buy this app ### 1/5 — LAME ITS NOT FREE ANYMORE... *2026-02-05, version 1.7.0* the new update ruined the app.. it used to be free.. now you have to pay to use the features that were free before the new update.. USE THE APP ICON MAKER AND CUSTOM THEME APP INSTEAD ### 1/5 — needed to pay to actually set icons *2026-02-04, version 1.7.0* the entire purpose of the app is locked behind a paywall. no thank you. ### 1/5 — Crashing out right now *2026-02-02* I found that when I tried to open the new apps, it would all be the same one. I’m still trying to figure things out but for now I think this is a sucky app. PLEASE FIX. ### 1/5 — OJRGDILKJSRGNKLGRDLKJGRS *2026-01-14, version 1.6.3* GUIGIUGUIGUIG ### 1/5 — Hot garbage *2026-01-11, version 1.6.3* I wish i could rate 0 stars ### 1/5 — BAD SO BAD *2025-10-13* The actual create the app is fine but when I tryed to save it is said can’t open the page LIKE IT US SO BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-06-17, version 1.6.3* When I found a app design I liked it told me to add to home screen on the pop up and it was not there please fix this. Im getting a different app. ### 1/5 — horrible app. *2025-06-15, version 1.6.3* made me pay to download it. ### 1/5 — It’s very hard to use *2025-02-18, version 1.6.3* It’s hard to use and when you read the tutorial it just says about how to put the app icon on shortcuts it doesn’t give you any information about how to use the app or anything ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-01-07, version 1.6.3* Quick open and to the point ### 5/5 — Best app for icon designing!!! *2025-09-24* I love this app. It’s easy, fast and convenient to use, free, no ads, and very simple. You can make your ugly app icons all match- mine are a pastel pink right now but I’ll probably change it for Christmas. While it does take a bit of effort to find the image you want, download it, and put it into the app, that’s entirely not the app’s fault and it gets easier once you do it a few times. It gives you a tutorial on how to set everything up and has a very easy to navigate setup process. I was so happy when I found the one free app that’s actually useful, so thank you so much! ### 5/5 — AWESOME app!! I’ve used this app many times I’m happy with the results *2025-02-13* I’ve used this app along with google Gemini(to Generate the custom app icons) you should download both apps! Gemini to create the icons and Iconthemer to set them on perfectly ### 5/5 — Very very good *2024-11-05, version 1.6.3* This app is incredible - you can choose background colour or gradient or many images, frames and tons of icons. I highly recommend it - and it is free. ### 5/5 — Great app at first (bug?) *2024-10-25* Great app, has exactly what I needed and is very easy to use! Notice- After a few days the library says “sorry nothing to show” when it was working perfectly fine! I will be keeping the app hoping that it gets fixed! Most likely a bug? ~ It seems like the last update has been quite some time ago but I still have hope! Looking forward to using this app once again :) ( tried redownloading the app and even restarting my device unfortunately neither worked ) ### 5/5 — YES YES YES *2024-06-27* I have been looking for an app that can customize my home screen, and most you have to buy, but not this one. This one is free and easy to use and even has a tutorial step-by-step on how to do. It was a little confused at first because I had never used this app or anything like it, but I got the hang of it in like 15 minutes now it does take a long time to change all your apps widgets and backgrounds, but that’s not the apps fault. I would definitely recommend this app if you were looking for something easy and free to use. I am very satisfied with the results. You also have to download another Shortcuts app, which is easy to use. Also overall my experience was amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend. ### 5/5 — ONLY 5 SO PEOPLE CAN SEE *2024-06-23, version 1.6.3* IT WORKS PERFECTLY ONCE THEN DOESNT WORK AGAIN ### 5/5 — ??? *2024-06-08* I used this app a year ago and loved it. I just recently redownloaded it and it doesn’t seem to work. When I go to look up icons it keeps telling me nothing is found? Is there something wrong with the app? ### 5/5 — Finally… *2023-12-22* This app literally tells you how to create your own custom app icons without any app (Except for shortcuts). After looking for the right one for so long, I’ve finally found it! ### 5/5 — Problem occurring *2023-10-22, version 1.6.2* Really the best app that is free where you can put the background of your choice and an icon on top of it from a library with thousands of icons or from your gallery too Unfortunately, I used it 2 months ago and now that I’m reusing it, I see that there is a problem with the library of the icons.. Nothing loads, it’s like the library is empty! I hope you’ll fix this in short time Thank you for your app too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
