### 2/5 — The app is cracked

*2026-01-19*

No UI appears!

### 2/5 — Sad times,

*2023-06-11*

Unfortunately I couldn't get the iPad app to load at all, and the iPhone app when trying to explore menus wouldn't load, especially when making a new symbol and I wanted to look into what the pro option gave me. Life time purchase is really expensive. Im sorry if you can get it working I would review my rating

### 4/5 — Everything an SF Symbol App Should Have

*2021-12-10*

The UI is clean, you can copy or share the symbol or it’s name, you can even add modifiers and copy or share the code for SwiftUI for UIKit. 

The only reason I rate this 4 instead of 5 stars is it lacks two features. One of which I see as easy to implement as you already have ‘.renderingMode(.original)’ in the code snippet for the multicolor symbols, why not offer a drop down; or include in the modifier tab, a way to switch between others such as monochromatic?

The other feature is my main gripe though as it forces me to lookup every symbol I haven’t used; or don’t use enough to know for sure, in another app. This feature is a little info icon on some of the symbols that provide helpful information.. info such as the ‘pencil.tip.crop.circle.badge.plus’ symbol is actually the Apple Markup symbol, which should come with a hefty warning of "This symbol may not be modified and may only be used to refer to Apple's Markup feature."

Therefore, any symbol I don’t use often has to be looked up elsewhere after using this app. Otherwise I may not realize that’s the icon for Markup and use it for a simple edit name icon in my app.
