Even with Large icons enabled. ### 3/5 — Great app, slow updates *2026-04-20* This app would be great for me IF the icons fit my phone. I emailed support in late February and it is now the end of April with no response, nor updates for icons to fit any of the iPhone 17s, including the one I have (17 Pro). The app store said it would work with my phone and I unknowingly paid the money for something that I cannot use. To the developers, thank you for creating something to fill the needs of custom iPhone decoration, but please update your app so more of us can utilize it!!!💗 ### 2/5 — update *2026-03-08, version 1.7.3* please update this app for ios26. it no longer works as intended. ### 2/5 — worked super great until it didn’t *2026-02-18, version 1.7.3* please PLEASE update the app so that the icons line up with ios 26. normally i wouldn’t mind if an app went bust but having paid for this one it makes me a little upset :( ### 2/5 — Cropping not working properly *2025-12-12* The app hasn’t been working properly for ages now, the icons are never accurately cropped to the wallpaper and you’d have to spend ages adjusting the picture in the app for it to be aligned. Due to the new IOS update not even that works anymore. ### 3/5 — Disappointed. *2025-11-22, version 1.7.3* I used this app for my phone and it was great! So i got inspired and wanted to customize my ipad. Except when i try it tells me i have to crop the photo which will make the apps not align with the background. ### 3/5 — Add support for iOS 26 *2025-09-26, version 1.7.3* Please support for iOS 26 ### 2/5 — Fonctionne plus *2025-09-26* Possible d’avoir une maj parce que avec iOS 16 c’est complètement décalé maintenant, plus moyen d’avoir l’image correctement les icônes Apple ne sont plus au même endroit qu’avant ### 3/5 — wish i could use it for ipad *2025-09-26, version 1.7.3* great app and what not. but earlier today i went to use it on my ipad as one does and turns out, it doesn’t fit. needless to say i am very disappointed about this. the app is fine otherwise but this just is not okay. ### 3/5 — Still needs improvement *2025-05-13, version 1.7.3* When cropping an image using large icons it doesn’t crop correctly please add more support or compatibility please ### 4/5 — It’s good *2025-04-11, version 1.7.3* It’s great would you be able to make one for widgets ? :) small medium large widgets that align with the background… that would be perfect! ### 2/5 — Large app icons *2025-03-15, version 1.7.3* The large app icons functionality is broken. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2025-03-01, version 1.7.3* Does the job but noticed the updates for newer iOS versions take awhile. It would be a game changer if we could also do apps inside folders. ### 4/5 — Decent app *2025-02-12* It made easy customising icons the way I wanted ### 2/5 — Please Update the app *2025-01-02* Hey Noah! I have purchased the app in excitement but when I tried using it ruined my experience as it does not properly align in ios 18.2 update. You need to push an update, I will change my rating afterwards. ### 4/5 — Large Icons *2024-12-19, version 1.7.3* Using the small icons works, however the large icons are still misaligned. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon! 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Icons no longer aligned *2026-03-26, version 1.7.3* Is this going to be fixed for iphone 16?? ### 1/5 — Abandon *2025-12-17* L’appli n’est plus mise à jour.. c’est bien dommage car les apps ne sont plus au même endroit maintenant :( ### 1/5 — missalignment *2025-09-18, version 1.7.3* every single time i use this and follow the directions the icons are missaligned ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-04-30, version 1.7.3* It's not working on iPhone 16e ### 1/5 — wasted money *2025-02-19, version 1.7.3* I guess I'm stupid, it didn't work, it's too complicated ### 1/5 — No Longer Works On IOS 18 *2024-11-30, version 1.7.3* If you are using IOS 18, do not buy this app, as it does not work as intended anymore. Wait for an update. ### 1/5 — nope *2024-11-26, version 1.7.3* a little mad that it cost money, and the large icons doesn't even work properly. deleted immediately what a waste of money and time ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요 *2024-11-23* 배경화면 캡쳐한 사진을 배경화면으로 하라는 것도 말이 안되고 만든 아이콘 적용하면 실제 배경화면하고는 색이 다르게 나와서 앱을 구매한 의미가 없어요. 환불해주세요 ### 1/5 — Wallpaper not lining up properly *2024-09-24, version 1.7.0* It keeps telling me to crop the wallpaper every time and they never line up properly. Didn’t have this issue on my iphone 15 but now do on my 16 pro max. ### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 18 *2024-09-21, version 1.6.0* No updates for a long time. Icons not aligned with iOS 18 update. Waste of money! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple and the best *2026-05-31* Works great and have used this app since my iPhone 14. HOWEVER, just got a new iPhone Air and the images don’t line up anymore. I am hoping there will be an update. (Also wish we didn’t have to live with Liquid Glass, but that’s not your fault). ### 5/5 — Update for ios 26 *2025-09-29, version 1.7.3* Please give us an update so we can use this app on iOS 26 ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP *2025-04-17* I was super reluctant to purchase this app, for the simple fact that I just don't love paying for apps. Then I was like, it's $2, I'll just give it a try. It is a GAME CHANGER. I am so impressed. I used to try to do this aesthetic the free way for a long time. My former method stopped working for me: the images just wouldn't line up and I had to do a lot of manual cropping even when it kind of worked. This app makes everything so seamless and perfect. I love that it's a one-time purchase, as opposed to a subscription. And it works so amazingly! It does almost all the work for me; no more tedious cropping and adjusting to make it fit. The interface is ridiculously easy to use and I am in love with the results! ### 5/5 — Best ever!!! *2025-02-03, version 1.7.3* This app is perfect for anyone who wants to customize their Home Screen!!! Everything aligns perfectly and it’s such an easy process :) thank you so much!!! ### 5/5 — Absolutely worth it! *2024-12-18* Amazing app ### 5/5 — Bug is fixed *2024-11-12* It’s worth 5 stars again now ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-11-07, version 1.7.3* This app keeps getting better and better always keeping up with updates and new versions of iOS, worth every penny!!! ### 5/5 — Exactly What I Wanted *2024-10-22* I just got the new iPhone and I wanted to customize it from the top down. I love the look of transparent apps and this gave me exactly what I was looking for. The UI was seamless, I didn’t even need the tutorials but they were provided. The end result came out perfectly, and the price was a steal for the time and effort I saved. My home screen has never looked cuter, I couldn’t recommend this more! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal App and Staff *2024-09-26* The amount of customization allowed for not only the given app icons, but also the allowance of outside icons to be imported, this paired with its extensive library of icons in app already In addition, its reliability to update in accordance to Apple’s own update to the new icon placement Lastly the dev/s, they were quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and were open to any suggestions that might possibly help the app, or any questions upon any updates looking forward ### 5/5 — So glad for the update *2024-09-25* By far the easiest app I’ve found to make actually transparent icons. I even figured out how to use icons I purchased instead of the preloaded. I had my screen done exactly how I wanted when the new iOS came out and the icons weren’t lining up anymore so I was trying a few other apps on free trial and everything was so much harder- so excited when I saw this app updated and went in to fix everything perfectly! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
