### 1/5 — Difficult

*2026-02-14*

Extremely hard to use. Spent an hour and got nowhere.  Don’t bother, and am save your money.  Used on a 16 Pro max and was useless.

**Developer response:** With iOS, you need to set custom icons with shortcuts. (universally true, not just my app) I included a tutorial, but it may be best to watch any of the YouTube tutorials for "How to set custom icons with shortcuts on iPhone" while you follow along. After you learn the steps, it will become fast and easy.

### 1/5 — What a waste of time

*2024-05-26*

Shortcuts, help guide for older system - Jesus £4 for wasting over an hour and still not getting any icons - do not buy this app, even if free

**Developer response:** If you can't understand my shortcuts guide, I'm sure you can find a tutorial on YouTube. I'm sure there will be one in your native language.

### 1/5 — Makes assumptions

*2024-04-05*

You need to create shortcuts to be able to use this. I’ve tried shortcuts and found them to be useless. Therefore, I can’t use this app. Waste of money

**Developer response:** If your shortcuts app is useless, contact Apple for support. On all of my devices the shortcuts work flawlessly.

### 2/5 — Not as easy as appears

*2024-02-26*

No real instructions on how to get your screen looking like the advertised pictures

**Developer response:** I can help. Please write to trektheme@gmail.com and let me know where you're stuck. * Have you seen this yet?

### 3/5 — Help please

*2025-01-02*

Hi! I don’t have the option to change my icons with the newest iOS that I have. I just bought the app, do you have any work arounds?

**Developer response:** Thank you! Please write to trektheme@gmail.com and let me know which step you're having trouble with. Perhaps include a screen video if it will help show the problem. Are you trying to make shortcuts as shown in the tutorial?

### 4/5 — Trek Icons

*2025-02-23*

Really like the trek theme for my Home Screen and when combined with your trek icons, looks just like the “STNG” display screens!  One issue is that I cannot see my notification bubbles, would like to know how to correct.  Tks

**Developer response:** Thank you! Unfortunately, Apple doesn't yet allow shortcuts to show notification bubbles.  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254527180?sortBy=rank

### 4/5 — A great app but…

*2023-09-07*

The app is great and really useful and creates great results but I would love to be able to add in a custom label for apps that don’t have a preset in the Icon Image section. Being able to type something in myself would be great

### 5/5 — Wonderful! But missing the one feature that would make it transcendent

*2024-07-01*

App is awesome. I’ve been looking for something like this. I found these trek customization apps and immediately bought all of them. Compared to what you pay for custom icon packs or custom backgrounds on Etsy or something like that it’s an enormous bargain especially the sound one. The one feature missing from this app is the ability to customize the text on the icons, sometimes text i’d like isn’t available. Or if I want to just use numbers I’d like to be able to create a numbering scheme that is meaningful to me. 

Besides that it’s excellent, there are lots of fun things to find in the premade icons (like the one that says “Nagus” I especially enjoyed). Highly recommend for any sci-fi fan.

### 5/5 — Perfect for the Trek fan

*2023-12-09*

Lots of styles to choose from and change as you want

### 5/5 — Your iPhone looks ScFi and confusing to others

*2023-06-27*

You need patience to use this app as you use it with Apple Shortcuts. You can use ready made icons or create your own design.
Nice perk is now if anyone picks up your phone, they have no idea what app is what because you changed the appearance. 
Use with designers other Science Fiction apps and you have your own Tricorder, predator device.
