Mister Icon provides decorative text labels and matching wallpapers, to help you create neat, tidy, beautiful, practical and fun home screen designs. Use the pre-prepared icon labels, or make your own with a fully customizable icon creator supporting more than 90 different fonts. You can even add emoji to your home screen! No ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions! Just a simple, one-off payment. -- USER REVIEWS -- "The perfect -one of a kind- app organizer!" "This is THE app to easily and neatly organize your screen." "I've been looking for something like this for years." -- THE BASICS -- If you have a lot of apps, it can often be difficult to find the one you are looking for, but Mister Icon's text-based label icons can help bring some order to your iPhone or iPad. Mister Icon does not provide any way to make 'folders', and does not do all the hard work for you, it simply provides the ability to add icon labels to your home screen, which you can then move in amongst your apps. For example, install a 'Games' icon to your home screen, then move all your favorite games nearby so that it's easier to find them the next time you swipe past. Or make your own custom icon designs with fun emojis to brighten up your home screen and make you feel happy. The icons are easy to install and there is no need to use the Shortcuts app, unless you want to make the icons perform special actions when you tap on them. The Mister Icon Tips & Tricks section includes detailed instructions on both installation methods, so you can choose whichever suits your needs best. -- THE ICONS -- There are more than 150 pre-prepared icon labels to choose from, with each icon available in 20 different styles, including several 'round' options. And now with the latest version 4 update, Mister Icon introduces a new custom icon creator that allows you to create icons with your own text and emoji, providing the ultimate freedom and creative control. Use any of the 45 built-in color schemes, or choose your own colors, then apply them to both icons and wallpapers. Mister Icon allows you to easily label the different screens on your iOS device, so you can effectively create a 'kids' page, a 'work' page, a 'news' page, or simply number each of your home screens from 1 to 15. The icons can be reorganized the same way as normal apps - simply tap and hold on any icon until it starts wobbling, then drag it into the desired location. Be creative and use Mister Icon's icons in whatever way works best for you! -- THE WALLPAPERS -- Included wallpapers are simple in design, but highly functional, and can be easily matched to your icon colors. Special 'hidden notch' and 'hidden island' wallpapers are available on relevant devices to allow you to blend in the 'notch' or 'island' at the top of your home screen, if you want to. -- THE DETAILS -- Please visit mistericon.com for more information, along with some sample icon arrangements that may provide useful inspiration for organizing your own home screens. If you're unsure about what this app does, please be sure to take a thorough look through my website before purchasing. The app's interface and pre-prepared icons are English-only, but the new custom icon creator supports 90+ fonts, including many with international language support. Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Latin and more, are all supported for custom icons. Mister Icon contains NO ads, NO in-app purchases and NO subscriptions. I hope you will find my app to be a useful and fun way to help tidy up your home screen. -- Mister Icon -- ## Key features - Decorative text labels - Matching wallpapers - Custom icon creator - Over 90 fonts - Emoji support - Pre-prepared icon labels - Customizable color schemes ## Chart rankings - #90 in Top Paid · Graphics & Design (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (8 of 8) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mister-icon/id980492665/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Precise Colour-Coding for 5 bucks 👌 *2024-08-04* I was so excited when I saw this app, I love labelling and categorising stuff. I was able to match the HEX of my personal wallpaper perfectly to create the illusion of circle icons and colour-code my categories. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️because Mister Icon gives clear instructions for each step but the text layout on some of the long-worded icons is not aesthetically pleasing (and 5/5 feels like something a fake review would do) 🟨What this app won’t do: let you customize the text on the icons 🟧What this app will do: let you customize the labels underneath 🟥Won’t: let you set each page to a different wallpaper 🟪Will: set all the pages to a custom gradient wallpaper to your precise colour selections 🟦Won’t: give you categories with one click of a button 🟩Will: give you custom colour, text and shape icons in 4 steps with clear instructions on every page ### 5/5 — At last! *2020-01-31* I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I love using blank icons in the background color as spacers. I’ve only known one other app that did anything like that, and they stopped working three iPhones ago. Very nice clean look with lots of color and font options. Custom labels would be nice, but I honestly don’t know what I’d use them for—it’s pretty much all here. Easy to use, too. And responsive customer service. ### 4/5 — Great but not customized 100% *2019-06-13* Great app with smart idea to label and organize your apps. The only thing i didnt find is to customize the labels names, it has many names but that doesn't solve the problem totallt. I might have different names and for sure different language is a real issue. Wish you find a solution for custom names. ### 5/5 — A godsend with iOS’s stubborn UI *2019-05-15* The biggest thin I miss about Android is its customizable UI. This is a huge step in the right direction to make your icons more visually organized and usable. I used a separate page for the items I used to keep together in those awful folders, then used this icon maker to place visually aesthetic icons labeling each section of icons. ### 1/5 — Very lame app *2019-04-08* I thought it would add things to actually help organize me. The whole point was that I wanted to organize my apps by putting them in folders, not NEXT to them? Who puts things next to a folder, but not in it? Plus, when you add new apps, everything moves around anyway. Really stupid app. If anyone knows of an app that lets you put your apps INTO color coded files that are easily identified, that actually allows you to clean up your home screen, please let me know. ### 5/5 — Finally! A way to organize my phone apps *2017-03-01* Finally! I have searched high and low and finally found this app. I can now organize all of my phone apps which allows for super efficiency. Includes several different fonts and colors. This is a winner if you are looking for a way to organize your home screen apps. ### 1/5 — USELESS *2016-09-05* The idea was interesting, however when making the icon, you cannot change the default URL. When the icon is created and selected, it takes you to the purchase page for this app. I paid for a functional app, and this works like a demo. I'm sure this was a mistake and will gladly change this review when it becomes fully functional. ### 5/5 — A real gem in the rough *2015-05-11, version 1.0.0* I discovered this app just by luck, and since all the other launcher type apps I tried never really did what I needed. This was a rare good fine as it's a simple and functional approach to have screens categorized by titles. Now all my app's and folder's are neatly arranged and I can find everything much faster, lastly you can have sub-titles under each icon to better define the contents of each page. ## Frequently asked questions about Mister Icon ### How do I install icons with Mister Icon?
