Mister Icon provides decorative text labels and matching wallpapers, to help you create neat, tidy, beautiful, practical and fun home screen designs. Use the pre-prepared icon labels, or make your own with a fully customizable icon creator supporting more than 90 different fonts. You can even add emoji to your home screen! No ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions! Just a simple, one-off payment. -- USER REVIEWS -- "The perfect -one of a kind- app organizer!" "This is THE app to easily and neatly organize your screen." "I've been looking for something like this for years." -- THE BASICS -- If you have a lot of apps, it can often be difficult to find the one you are looking for, but Mister Icon's text-based label icons can help bring some order to your iPhone or iPad. Mister Icon does not provide any way to make 'folders', and does not do all the hard work for you, it simply provides the ability to add icon labels to your home screen, which you can then move in amongst your apps. For example, install a 'Games' icon to your home screen, then move all your favorite games nearby so that it's easier to find them the next time you swipe past. Or make your own custom icon designs with fun emojis to brighten up your home screen and make you feel happy. The icons are easy to install and there is no need to use the Shortcuts app, unless you want to make the icons perform special actions when you tap on them. The Mister Icon Tips & Tricks section includes detailed instructions on both installation methods, so you can choose whichever suits your needs best. -- THE ICONS -- There are more than 150 pre-prepared icon labels to choose from, with each icon available in 20 different styles, including several 'round' options. And now with the latest version 4 update, Mister Icon introduces a new custom icon creator that allows you to create icons with your own text and emoji, providing the ultimate freedom and creative control. Use any of the 45 built-in color schemes, or choose your own colors, then apply them to both icons and wallpapers. Mister Icon allows you to easily label the different screens on your iOS device, so you can effectively create a 'kids' page, a 'work' page, a 'news' page, or simply number each of your home screens from 1 to 15. The icons can be reorganized the same way as normal apps - simply tap and hold on any icon until it starts wobbling, then drag it into the desired location. Be creative and use Mister Icon's icons in whatever way works best for you! -- THE WALLPAPERS -- Included wallpapers are simple in design, but highly functional, and can be easily matched to your icon colors. Special 'hidden notch' and 'hidden island' wallpapers are available on relevant devices to allow you to blend in the 'notch' or 'island' at the top of your home screen, if you want to. -- THE DETAILS -- Please visit mistericon.com for more information, along with some sample icon arrangements that may provide useful inspiration for organizing your own home screens. If you're unsure about what this app does, please be sure to take a thorough look through my website before purchasing. The app's interface and pre-prepared icons are English-only, but the new custom icon creator supports 90+ fonts, including many with international language support. Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Latin and more, are all supported for custom icons. Mister Icon contains NO ads, NO in-app purchases and NO subscriptions. I hope you will find my app to be a useful and fun way to help tidy up your home screen. -- Mister Icon --
