### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-01-07, version 1.0*

i love this app, it isn’t filled with ads or tries to get you to buy anything. there are also a bunch of icon packs, can’t wait until we can do custom setups!

### 5/5 — Not working

*2022-11-03, version 1.0*

Hi there
First time it was working & I downloaded a theme but second time I tried many times nothing happened!. I got a message from Safari it says the server stop working!. Could you help me please?

### 5/5 — Cool But

*2022-07-16, version 1.0*

Same with ThisNameisTaken, I was making my iPad look like ios 6 but the pop-up says that I cannot connect to the database. Please fix this, its really annoying.

### 5/5 — AMAZING :3

*2022-07-11, version 1.0*

This is the first icon changer to work without a subscription, and now I can enjoy all sorts of different themes-though I would love a option to customize other apps with a variety of other icons. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who wants to have a built in tutorial, easy to use, FREE app icon changer, or just a app for a iPad glow-up!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t get it’s a hack

*2022-06-22, version 1.0*

So I started using this app because I wanted to customize my Home Screen, it worked great but then I started getting all these alerts saying that my phone got hacked so I got on to check where it came from and one of the app sets had gotten access to my private info and I had to scrub my phone so don’t get this app

### 5/5 — 5 Star Theme App

*2022-05-27, version 1.0*

This is amazing. No need to pay for a premium, no need to watch adds, just click to use, and install, and all of the icons are there. You can also do custom icons in an upcoming update that changes your choice of icons to that theme! 10/10

### 1/5 — No Access

*2022-04-26, version 1.0*

This app looks amazing based off of reviews, but im unable to access it. I am greeted with a pop up that says we couldn't connect, and just continues ‘loading’ but nothing happens. 

I don't recommend this app, but theres no hurt in seeing if it works for you!

To the devs: If you could get to me at some point and tell me why this is happening, or how I could fix it, that would be great and I would definitely change my thoughts about this app. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Access ❌

*2022-04-22, version 1.0*

To begin with, from what i’ve been hearing and seeing seems to me that this app is much easier to use than others but I personally wouldn’t know that considering the fact that every time upon opening this app I am greeted with a pop up telling me that the app can’t connect to the database and since I am not a Tech genius I have no idea as to how I can get around this issue. I can’t customize my phone because I can’t get access to the app itself. I am assuming this is a bug because i’m not the only one with this issue. I’ve seen plenty of people with this problem too but none of us ever get any attention and this review will probably be left unread as well but its worth a shot. 

So developers, if you are reading this please fix this and if it has nothing to do with the app itself can you at 
least leave a developer response as to how I can fix this issue.

### 4/5 — It is alright, but I have just one request.

*2022-04-20, version 1.0*

Every time I open up the shortcut, the app makes two processes, rather than one. So I would love it if that were removed. Other than that, great app!

### 4/5 — Icons missing???

*2022-04-20, version 1.0*

Don’t get me wrong, this app is amazing. I tried so many themes and I loved them. They where all unique and different in an amazing way. But one thing they all have in common, there is no clock icon. When I search for a clock app in App Library I just find the regular clock icon. Sometimes there is more than just the clock icon missing. On a lot of them the calendar icon is missing and also on all themes I tested when I open FaceTime it does not take me to the real FaceTime. This may happen with other apps but this is the only one I know. One more thing is if I click on the 3rd-party icons then it does not redirect me to the app even if it is installed on my iPhone. Just fix these problems and I will give this a 5 star rating for sure.
