Excellent - highly recommended!

Update 02/03/26: Thanks for the response to my feedback and changing the app to include What’s New in a collapsible group - great customer support to go with an already great App! 👍

Having Custom Groups & Collections way down at the bottom of the sidebar isn’t ideal and maybe the list of what’s new could be collapsible, but apart from those minor points it’s a great app and good value 👍

Seems pretty important

Solid app!

Update: As per the response from the developer this sounds like copying the symbol font is in!

It’s a great symbols playground app, a great alternative to the Apple macOS one. However you cannot copy the symbols themselves, only the code to display them. This renders the use case of using the app to copy and paste SF Symbols within iOS impossible. This is really hindering the 5 stars the app should get.

Solid app with a fundamental flaw

Update: As per the response from the developer this sounds like it is in the works! Looking forward to the update where we can copy the symbol as a part of the font.

Response from developer

Edit - thank you for updating your review, it's much appreciated. This feature is now available in v7.0.1. If you have other suggestions or need support, our email is hello@codingcorner.co.uk Hi, thanks for your review. This feature will be added in an upcoming update. Please note that symbol characters will only render correctly if the requisite fonts are installed - they will not display correctly on iOS by default. Currently, Apple does not allow the distribution of these fonts so they are not included with the app. The viewing of the symbol characters will work if, for example, you are editing a document on macOS with SF Symbols and SF Pro installed. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Can you allow colored icon images to be saved?

Regardless of what I choose, when I save the image it is in black and white. Thanks!

Best. Utility. Ever.

This dev is doing the lords work! I use this app constantly. Keep it up!

Two suggestions

I would love to see you regroup the main menu of categories a bit. Specifically, I’d love it if Multicolor, Variable, Unicode Data, and Restricted were all grouped together under the heading Traits (or a similar name). And then possibly to split off All and What’s New from the other categories too. The entire list could then be titled Collections, which IMO is more accurate and intuitive.

It would also be really useful if I could filter to show just the symbols available to me for the minimum iOS version I’m targeting for an app. Example: only symbols present in iOS 15.

Otherwise, love the app!

Viewer Only

Yes your eyes do not deceive you.
I like the app and it is functional and elegant.
Room for improvement
I look forward to an export style / PNG / SVG
AND SF Symbols V4 of course.
Thanks Dev team !

Works great!

I like the "What's new" category, it shows the newly added symbols. There is a sidebar with SwiftUI AND UIKit code snippets ready to go. Recommended!

Amazing App, but

I love your app and use it almost daily. However, the one thing I would appreciate is if it were updated with SF 3.3 soon. I need to have the newer symbols available, and may have to switch if I can’t get those symbols.

Please add share as SVG to Files, PNG to photos

Great app. Can you add export as SVG to the Files App & save image as a square 1080x1080 pixel PNG to the camera roll please? (to reduce pixelation when scaling).

Nice app! Please add these two export features.

❤️👍

It's okay

Okay to have on mac, the filter/appearence could be on the right side. So, I'd have to click less just to change some color or weight.
It's annoying to change color and weight now, hope dev will update and I'll update my review as well.

Thanks

Scrolling stuck

Every time when I click in to All and start to search for arrow for instence, the scrolling stops.
It is really annoying and apple did no fix it since november

Slick, but ...

I like the app and its minimalistic design. But damn, scrolling does not work at all. It is very frustrating: When selecting a category, the first mouse scroll swipe does work - but then it suddenly stops and sometimes, only sometimes, it suddenly works again. One time.

Response from developer

Hi there, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have been able to replicate the issue and are working on the problem. Unfortunately I cannot currently promise an exact timeframe for the fix, but please keep an eye out for any updates. Many thanks, Cameron Coding Corner Update 12/02/21 - version 3.0 is available now. We would appreciate it if you could test it and see if it fixes your issue :)

Clean and simple

Absolutely no annoying ads, pro versions or anything, just a simple and clean reference for all SF Symbols, that still contains all relevant information and previews you could ever need for them. Really handy to have on your phone.

Killer app!

I love this app. It’s a great companion to Apple’s SF Symbols mac app to be used on the go or anytime you’re not on your laptop. Great job!

iOS 14.2 beta crash

Crashes on iOS 14.2 dev beta

Good but iOS 14 missing

Would be great to get the new ones and multicolor support

Response from developer

These are now added from version 2.0 :)

Great app

The best out there to get the SF Symbols, very useful the the most important: always up-to-date. Only missing thing would be to give users the possibility to copy the symbol (maybe even export it as image?). The best one overall, keep up the good job!
