Do you want a faster way to make a call without having to find their contact? There's nothing faster than a contact call icon on your home screen. 

Do you Skype the same person frequently? Create a home screen icon that will open Skype and call that person automatically. 

Have an icon that stands out too much on your home screen? Simply make your own shortcut icon for that app and hide the original icon (Supported apps only). 

Features: 
-Create shortcut icons for 85,000+ supported apps 
-Create shortcut actions for 250+ supported apps 
-Lock your icons to stop other people using your apps
-Edit your icon by drawing, rotating, zooming 
-Download any image to use in your icon 
-Share your icon with friends for them to use 


What makes us different to other home screen shortcut apps? 

Most apps need to send the information for your icon to their servers to generate. Iconical works 100% on your device. 
Some apps state that your icons will stop working if you delete their app. Not with Iconical. Everything needed by your icon is embedded within the icon itself (Unless you are using locked icons).

- Create shortcut actions
- Lock icons to prevent unauthorized use

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2021-07-04, version 2.4.2*

Stupid doesn’t work instructions might as well be in a foreign language. Can’t get it to work as it gets stuck

### 5/5 — I’m amazed

*2020-12-12, version 2.4.2*

Easy to use and the dev got be to me within hours for a ton of apps I wanted skins on that had name changes or other properties. Quickest support I’ve seen in an app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work correctly

*2020-09-30, version 2.4.2*

I just downloaded this app and it doesn’t do what it’s suppose to do. When i went to add my new icon to the screen it shows a screenshot of the page that tells you how to add it to the screen as the icon. Worst $3 ever spent

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-09-25, version 2.4.1*

The reason why I give this only one star is because I payed for this and it not coming up and the app I set it up to be

### 1/5 — Stupid program

*2020-08-21, version 2.3.7*

Don’t buy this program!! I thought initially it was nice, but every time you go back and forth between the app and another app it restarts itself cancelling out whatever you were in the process of doing. Having to start over. Say you set up a screen button for your work schedule. You click on it, looking at your schedule and wait, need to look at your calendar. You move to the calendar and back to the schedule which is now closed and you have to re-login and get to the pool lace you were. Stupid!!!

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2020-08-19, version 2.3.7*

This app is simple to use and it just works as promised.

### 1/5 — Won’t download

*2020-07-17, version 2.3.6*

I downloaded this app thinking “oh this will be fun” .I pay for the app wait for it to download and still on the “installing” and I can’t delete the app. Sorry if I came off as rude but it was on my mind

### 1/5 — Irritated

*2020-07-15, version 2.3.6*

Would be good if it actually worked instead of glitching out when i tried to change the app icon picture. Honestly not happy i paid $3 for nothing

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2020-06-23, version 2.3.6*

I was really excited to get this app. I went through and changed a bunch of my icons after I paid to get it. But it is so annoying to have to go through a pop up window and tell it to open an app every time I click on the shortcut. Yes, I want to open that app. You don’t have to ask me every single time. It ends up taking longer to open the app with the shortcut than if I had clicked on the app itself. Love the idea of being able to customize my icons on my iPhone. I don’t know if this is just a thing with Apple phones or what, but it got so annoying I just stopped using it. Not to mention the dozens of blank black windows it left open in Safari each time I opened an app via the shortcuts. If any of these things change in the future I’d be happy to use this app again, but until then I’m afraid I won’t be using it.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-05-20, version 2.3.5*

This app was super complicated to use and I did not like it at all. Definitely would like a refund for it.
