Top reviews

Can’t even make an account.

Wife and I have tried more than once.
Just keeps saying there’s a server error.
I’ve submitted more than one email to their help desk and never heard back.

Agree with other reviews stating owners either are rude or don’t seem to care.

Can’t sing up

Won’t let me sing up. Been trying for a few days and still won’t work.

Very interconnected and wonderful UI

Wonderful tutorial in setting up your profile, and in all aspects of the app the UI is incredibly clear and helpful.

Honestly, great!

This is the most healthy poly app I’ve found so far. It’s everything poly is about and I love it.

Not available in Chile and many other countries

I saw somebody else's review saying the developer is incredibly rude. I have absolutely no affiliation with that person, but I definitely agree about the developer being rude, if their first impulse is to call me a spammer, with not a shred of proof.

My iCloud account is in the US region, but I live in Chile and have a Chilean phone number.

First, what kind of "safety reasons" would justify excluding an entire country?

Second, if I was using a US number as the developer says (as opposed to my Chilean number starting in +56), I would have been able to register just fine. 🤷🏼‍♂

Iconist is unavailable in Chile for safety reasons, but this user is a spammer using a US number. Apple, please remove that feedback. Thank you!

unicorn hunters United- not recommended

The app tells you multiple times durrimg signup to be ethical, not to unicorn hunt, and not to use one account for two people-

I’m under 5 minutes of looking into people on the app, I found more users doing exactly these things, than ones who were not. It was anger inducing and defeating all in one.

Also- I’m in NY and it was recommending me users in Canada under the near you tab. Neat….😑

I was so hopeful that this would be an app truly geared towards healthy poly dating, it was an INSTANT disappointment. How can an app that warns you that many times during set up let that much slip through the cracks?!

Would not recommend and will infact recommend against.

Hi Littlejackson, I'm unsure if your intention is genuine because if you live in the US, you probably know some people are unicorn hunters, and we can not prevent people from signing up, so if you saw unicorn hunters' members, why didn't you report them? Alternatively, on the Iconsit app, you can hide your profile from couples (partnered users), so in the end, we chat and meet with single or solo poly. Iconsit is a new FREE app, so if you want to see more members around NYC, please update your feedback to 5 stars so more people will install Iconsit :) Have an Iconic day!

used to work but now …

the update isn’t updating 🤬

Response from developer

Hi kimikilljoy! Your feedback shows you care about Iconist, and we care about you! The happier our members are, the more successful Iconist will be. Please update Iconist. It's available in the App store :) We hope you will like the new polyamorous section, voice intro and many more new features. Let me know by updating the feedback here :D Have an iconic updating!

New

The app has a lot of potential and I’m glad to be apart of this app met someone on it and I’m hopeful this is going to be amazing

Updated review

Problem with the app glitching has been fixed! Was pretty fast at fixing the issue and should be noted they do respond to inquires and even listen to their customer complaints and offer new features as people suggest them

Response from developer

Hi TheGreatrygt, Please update the Iconist app :) It should work! Ruzzia bombed our homes, and we had no electricity, but we overcame and won! The bug was fixed and the Ruzzian got lost, and I can only apologize that the fix took a while. But now you can choose between a full name or a nickname to improve your privacy, and we've added a few more features as requested by our iconic members. I appreciate your care and would love to know if it works for you, let me know :)

Absolutely not about to delete the app

So I downloaded this app to find more polys like me and both of my profile pictures have been deemed inappropriate( I don’t understand how it’s just me and my wife nothing explicit ) if I could give a -5 stars I would it’s not worth it guys

Response from developer

Sorry to read your unfair feedback: you know Iconist doesn't accept 'unicorn hunters', so opening one profile for a couple is taking advantage of our community. Your partner is welcome to join Iconis as an individual. Then you can link your both profiles together. We found some members taking advantage of their partners and adding their photos without their knowledge. That's why your partner has to open her own profile. Once your partner do that and you links to each other, you can upload your photos. Also, other member want to know about your partner, not just about you - be fair. Have an iconic day.

Partner must join

So. Terms of service include the good ol’ boys denying your personal freedom in having an account as partnered & will block your account if your partner is not on the app & linked to your profile, even if you say you’re partnered. This really defeats the purpose of an app for poly ppl and is reminiscent of 1950s control over women. Really really irritating.

Furthermore, the developer is remarkably rude stating here that I’m a scammer; nothing could be farther from the truth. Polyamory is about transparency, honest communication, emotional maturity and most of all, consent. Perhaps that’s lost on this and other dating apps.

Response from developer

Sunrise_dj is a combination of scammer + unicorn hunter. Nothing to do with 'reminiscent of 1950s control over women', but more about Iconist philosophy that celebrates individuality. Our members want to know who your partner is. That's why couples should link their profiles to improve transparency unless you wish to take advantage of your partner behind their backs by opening one profile for a couple. Your block is permanent. Please check other apps that match your standard.

Great app

I’m going to say even though the app is new it is pretty good. I think there could be more done with accessibility in hopefully that will come in time. Also an option for voice in some kind of way would be great.

Response from developer

Thank you very much :) I appreciate it, and we try to do our best! of course, we are improving Iconist over time, so accessibility will also improve. Have an iconic day!

Still new

The platform and execution seem pretty good, it’s still fairly sparsely populated but I think once more people catch on it’ll be a good experience

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback :) Hopefully, one day we will be worth five stars for you! It will help us to attract new members :D
