ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

App Icon Maker & Custom Theme holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Icon Maker & Custom Theme has 755 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of App Icon Maker & Custom Theme's written reviews are positive against 100% of Icon Changer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

App Icon Maker & Custom Theme ships an update monthly, Icon Changer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
