So what is this? To put it simply, it's an app icon maker design tool, to help you make your iOS 14 Home screen look aesthetic and beautiful with custom icons. Also, "Mycons" = "my icons"... get it??? Right... moving on... How does it work? Design your custom icons in the "Icon Studio" section. Think of a Mycons icon as being made up of 2 components. A background, and an overlayed symbol/logo. Design your custom background with colors, gradients, photos, etc. Then, select a logo or symbol to place somewhere over it. Export your beautifully aesthetic app icons from Mycons, then use the Shortcuts app to create your beautifully aesthetic Home Screen! Marketplace? You can also buy premium theme packs in the marketplace, if you want. They all come with free iPhone wallpapers too! Why is this better than buying icon packs? Exponential flexibility! When you spend $7-$20 on other premium icon packs, you only get a limited set of icons. If the pack doesn’t have one with the Pinterest logo... how do you know your new pretty icon is for the Pinterest app? Mycons works differently. You still get beautiful custom icons, but you can stamp them with your pick from thousands of brand logos and symbols. ## Key features - Custom icon design tool - Icon Studio for backgrounds and symbols - Thousands of brand logos and symbols - Premium theme packs and wallpapers - iOS Home Screen personalization - Export icons for Shortcuts app ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Icon Designer Pro | $9.99 | one-time | | Theme: 50 Shades of Black | $7.99 | one-time | | Theme: Black Diamond | $7.99 | one-time | | Theme: Autumn Dots | $7.99 | one-time | | Theme: Neutral Dots | $7.99 | one-time | | Theme: Neutral Hearts | $7.99 | one-time | | Theme: Scribble on Black | $9.99 | one-time | | Theme: Phoenix | $7.99 | one-time | | Theme: Vote | Free | one-time | | Theme: Diamond Hands | Free | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 13) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mycons-aesthetic-app-icons/id1533511207/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Good I guess *2023-07-17* I am downloading it now, and based on the reviews it’s amazing so, I think it’s good ### 4/5 — Purchased this app *2021-04-17* It seems cool. I just wish we could make glass type icons and such.. also how come we cannot see the symbols fully? They seem almost transparent and you have to look in bright light to really see what they all are when you’re trying to decide which one to pick. Couldn’t they be darker?!? Otherwise everything is pretty decent for free as well. I almost wish I never paid but no big deal. ### 4/5 — LOVE IT! *2021-04-03* I love this app! I love how I can customize my backgrounds to whatever picture or color(s) that I want! The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is because of one thing... the option to upload your own icons... I love how many symbol choices the app offers but I’d also love the option and opportunity to keep my apps with their original icons! Also another big plus, the fact that you only have to pay once to have full access instead of another monthly bill and what not! Definitely didn’t mind spending the $10! App offers exactly what is stated no tricks no Nadaa ! Keep up the great work and stay blessed 💙 ### 4/5 — GREAT!!!!!! *2021-02-05* I love this app because it lets you make cusom app icons. I have downloaded a lot of app icon apps but all of them cost money. It does cost money to get the premade ones but i prefer the cusom ones. The only thing is now i cant make cusom app icons. I still recimend this app because I am sure it has something to do one my end and not the apps. ### 5/5 — Great Icon Designer *2021-02-02* I got this so I could design my own icons and it was perfect for what I was looking for! I paid a one time $10 fee for the icon studio editor and it was totally worth it IMO. I doubt I’ll ever buy any of the premium design packs because I like making my own. I was able to upload an icon background pic and add the provided phone icons and customize the color, size, and placement to get exactly what I wanted and they look so great!!! My only recommendation for improvement so far is to add in more app icons. They don’t currently have icons for some streaming services (for example), but they did have several versions of a generic tv icon, so I used those instead and it still looks very nice. So, if they don’t have the exact icon you’re looking for (though they have most of the major ones), they have enough generic options, you can probably find something that will work. A really amazing feature is batch editing—you create one icon in the design you want, then select every icon you’d like designed the same way and they all get created and exported to your photo library at once! Love this app! ### 3/5 — not enough features *2021-01-16* i wish there was a way where you could favorite icons so you don’t have to scroll to find them. other than that the app is pretty good ### 1/5 — So stupid *2020-11-21* Why sell an app for free if you have to pay $10 to even use it? Why in the hell would I pay $10 for this crap? ### 2/5 — Good start, but *2020-10-28* Bought the free version, upgraded to Pro to see what other options it provides. Yes, good start on library. The bad - I cannot create my own or load symbols I created (not even ones where I’d prefer a simple text). So, the tool gives you controls within what symbols it offers but it’s not a design studio that rnables you to design a bit more from scratch. ### 5/5 — This app is great *2020-10-20* Love this. It makes customizing my apps really easy. Love the different packs that you can get too! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-10-17* Why do I have to pay 10 dollars for a different looking icon? ## Frequently asked questions about Mycons ### What is Mycons used for?
