App Icons – Widget & Wallpaper Reviews

Once I downloaded AppIcons I was extremely excited to Set widgets and live wallpapers and customize my apps but I’d thought would customize them ourselves and when I wanted to set a widget at least I had to get the premium but I wouldn’t want to be paying money every month or so. AppIcons really got my hopes up but sadly been down because when we customize our apps if we go to AppIcons that’s customize, it will only bring you to the original app and I think it’s just a waste and I was too afraid to remove AppIcons from the Home Screen (because I’m just like that -w-) so I decided to delete even though I was asking my parents for permission to it and then I finally got it but instead of what I thought it wasn’t even near what I believed. I’m sorry if I disappointed you AppIcons was just nothing compared to what I thought it was gonna be, Sorry if you read this and think I’m going crazy because your opinions are probably different than mine but I’m just not happy how you have to get premium to set widgets and when you customize your app it will just bring you back to the original app so I recommend not getting AppIcons unless you wanna pay money every month or so and including how there isn’t a lot of customizations to choose from so in my opinion this is a 1 star :(

I rated this a five star because I needed to get ur attention so AppIcons is what I call a scam and that is because,as soon as I got AppIcons i was super excited but as soon as I got into it I saw widgets and it was not cool because all it did was show up a monthly retrial for 50 $ yeah ain’t no one going to bye that so I got angry .

Next , I need to tell u that if u get the icons not the widgets it’s not fun u have to hide all the apps so u think it is the real app because what I did was I did the things and after that I deleted the actual app and when I did the icon all I saw was a little message come up that said‘’ no app found for icon'' and I did games that I was on hoping levels and Netflix so I had to start over every game I did and that is why this is the worst app ever!!!

Since the new widgets feature came on iOS recently and I found that you can customize your phone even more, I was so excited. So, if I wanted my phone to look cool and unique (which is supposed to be the point of AppIcons duh), I had to download a third party app and customize through there. But, I found the biggest flaw that most apps like this have. MEMBERSHIPS. First of all, why is the membership so expensive? If i buy the membership, I am probably going to use ONE customization look. I mean its not like I want to constantly change the look of my home screen everyday. Second, I just wish there was one free customization that actually didn’t look like an education website for 2nd graders. No one wants their phone to look like that. It’s embarrassing. I don’t want to sound like a karen asking for free service. but, if the creator of AppIcons is reading this, please give us an offer on AppIcons that satisfies us or we are gonna delete it from our phones.

I’m going to try not to be rude, but the day I got AppIcons I had to delete it. I find that a free app should not make you pay to use it, Its like a scam almost. When I opened AppIcons up I went to a screen with a continue button at the bottom of it, so I pressed the continue button excepting to see default animations but instead it said my email and ID touch asking me to pay for something. Honestly I was confused until I read the text where I had to apparently pay to get into AppIcons . I dunno if I was not supposed to pay or if I was but, if I was I don’t really think that I should get a free app and have to pay to use it for just a little while. I’m not trying to discriminate against your app but, I just entitle to my own opinion that you shouldn’t pay to get into an app that said it was free.

Okay, so, I downloaded AppIcons because it looked SUPER cool. So, I’m opening it up and guess what I see? Literally ONE THING is free. I am SO not buying some crappy membership JUST to get a freaking WALLPAPER. Don’t waste your money. 🤬🤬🤬🤬👎👎👎👎

Edit: Okay, the first part mentioning the free trial? Nuh uh. No. Just forget it. The wallpapers probably aren’t even worth it anyways. And the second part? What the heck does that even freaking mean? Just..... no. I’ve deleted AppIcons , so I don’t see the point of trying to convince me to redownload it. And how do I know that it’s not just one of those things where if I click the free trial button it automatically steals my money? Exactly. I don’t know if it’s a scam or not. My point is, don’t waste your perfectly good storage for AppIcons.

I understand the company or app needs to make a profit off of people paying for a subscription but bruh if it’s really for 4+ then we shouldn’t have to pay for THAT much. Also it took me like 10 downloads to figure it out. I do recommend it if your ok with time don’t recommend if you barley have time. It should automatically change the apps on its own so you don’t have to rearrange your apps. But over made my phone look AMAZING!!!🔥🔥

I got AppIcons all excited because it said it was free but as soon as I opened AppIcons it told me to start a free trial and by looking at these reviews I didn’t trust your app .if all the images have to be bought for then why waist my money ?This is a example of scammers, If you where to make all the photos for free there wouldn’t be a problem. I downloaded a image by watching a video and when I put it as my home screen it didn’t even work to move , please step up your game 👍🏻this is what I call a waist of work you guys have put in to no offense. Please take notice that many people don’t have good experiences with online buying scammers. Next time on your and please write down that you have to pay .

i was very disappointed by both the functionality of AppIcons itself and the subscription. once i opened AppIcons i was already being asked to pay without seeing what AppIcons had to offer. Also once i payed there was hardly any wallpapers available, there is no point in paying the money (no matter the amount) for only less than 20 wallpapers. on another note, the wallpapers are not the same once you save them to your photos. i used some of the wallpapers IN AppIcons and they were actually really fun, BUT sadly once i saved them to my photos they were not the same. the effects were not even close to the same as they were in AppIcons . AppIcons is not worth your money!!

I am so put off by this particular app. I’m more likely to support a creator when they don’t advertise as FREE but then you download AppIcons and you have to pay for everything. Why not be upfront with your customers and just put a price on AppIcons that way you don’t waste people’s time so they can eliminate clicking into an app that they THINK is free. I would never pay $50 to use an app to add widgets, etc to my phone. It’s not that serious. I can’t imagine many people pay this price. I mean hell that’s almost as much as my cellphone bill. Here’s some advice if you would like to take some: Make your apps affordable for EVERYONE, not just some. This is just all beyond ridiculous. !!!!

AppIcons is super cool, I do have some suggestions for adds. More options in the line of “dark themes” for wallpapers, more options for icon packs i.e. solid color neon app icon packs, only red, only black, only blue, etc. have the option of which icons you want to download and which not. Overall, I use this as my favorite app, well put together.

P.S. maybe some marijuana, 420 theme packs as well

AppIcons looks amazing at first but it’s not the only way that you are able to do anything on AppIcons is paying for a premium plan sure you can look at the themes and pics that they have available but don’t be fooled they only want one thing out of AppIcons and that’s money so sure go ahead and pay money for AppIcons but personally I want a app that is free all the way and may have something like the vip membership and get special things that is only available to vip members but if your not one then you can still get and do things to sum this up it’s basically a app that I wish I never got in the first place

Tries to trick you into a paid subscription for $50 a year. No thanks. Most of the content is just a photo that they put the same effect to.

UPDATE FROM DEVELOPER RESPONSE: On the functional side, their app - not apple - forces you into a paid subscription before you can do anything in it. They could develop around this by allowing you to browse, but not download, without signing up for a subscription, but they'd rather trick you into forgetting to cancel a $50/year subscription. On the content side - the content you end up having to pay for is mostly just the same cheap effect applied to several stock photos. I wouldn't keep it even it if were free.

You have to buy stuff well I just got it but I might be wrong but idk you just have to pay and I don’t have money and sorry for the hate comment!

My sister gave me the idea to get AppIcons but she has the money and I don’t so yea, can you at least make this free? I don’t have the money to pay for AppIcons!!! Pls make AppIcons free well btw it is free to download but what I mean what’s not free is the stuff for your background and stuff

Well I hope everyone else enjoys AppIcons and sorry for the hate comment!

So I have realised that you have to pay for most of the things in AppIcons. This is only a app icon changer so why pay would you pay money for AppIcons? Also Ive noticed AppIcons also wants me to allow my camera access.. I didnt but AppIcons still wants me to for some reason. Please change some of the things for money and find a different way to change the icon of AppIcons instead of allowing access to there camera. Btw Happy Thanksgiving!!

Why the notifications are not showing me when I downloaded the icons? Like in Whatsapp, it normally shows the number of messages that I received. I always have to go to AppIcons Library to check if I have an email or messages 😑

It’s cute tho. But no notifications.

It’ll be beneficial for everyone if you has a free wallpaper category. Because before getting AppIcons , I thought everything was free and downloadable but the I started to “save” the pictures but I couldn’t. Because it opened up a page that told me to subscribe. I spent 20 minutes on AppIcons and was able to download 1 picture. The others wouldn’t save because I wasn’t subscribed. Just have a free wallpaper section and a paid wallpaper section

Y’all advertise that we could change any app icons but after I downloaded the theme I went to my photos and all of the individual app icons were sent there. And I went to your website thinking that maybe I just missed a feature within AppIcons itself but y’all have nothing stated about how to change AppIcons icons under the FAQ’s. And it’s always sketchy when you don’t include the price of your subscriptions in AppIcons info. Way too pricey! Very disappointed.

So I think that AppIcons is awesome but I have a suggestion so when I downloaded the icons some of them did not show up and that wouldn’t be a big deal because they can’t customize every app but these were pre downloaded please fix this please and I will change my review

I just got AppIcons and I can’t even get the wallpaper to be live even though I saved it to my phone I still can’t get it to go live and don’t even know how to make it live from even AppIcons not sure if this is going to be worth the $15 that I’m paying but unless something changes with in the next 24 hours I will be canceling AppIcons out and taking it off my phone because it’s not doing anything that it says it can do that is not a live wallpaper so for now it will be getting one star for me unless something changes

If there was a one-time fee for premium I might (I’d probably) buy it. But I hate reoccurring subscription fees—before you know it you’ve waisted hundreds of dollars on something you don’t often use.
AppIcons throws way too many ads at you way too frequently. It’s annoying and obnoxious and sadly makes you less impressed with wall paper than you might otherwise be if you weren’t frustrated from the ads before seeing them.
:-( There’s several similar apps out there. Keep your head up and keep exploring!

Now look I’m not trying to be rude but AppIcons wasn’t the best I had to delete it and again I’m not trying to be rude but I had to delete it I didnt even have to app for a day, i had it 10 mins then got rid of it yeah the back rounds were cool but there not worth something paying for so I would really get AppIcons again if u update it so that it’s free and u don’t have to pay because it’s not worth paying for, so don’t take this the wrong way like I’m trying to be rude.

How in the world did AppIcons got approved for AppIcons Store? Shame on Apple. Worst app I have ever downloaded. You can’t browse anything. It won’t let you. A pop up screen will keep nagging at you to subscribe. Close that screen and it’ll keep popping up. Never seen an app like this in all my life. It makes you angry at who ever made this. It’s definitely the wrong way to motivate subscribers. I can’t help thinking that they are laughing at everyone who downloads this. I hope you selfish devs get ZERO subscribers. Deleted.

AppIcons does not earn that many stars out of 5 I get it if it would be out of 10 but there’s just too many ads too much money to pay just for a week! It’s $10 for☝️week!? Then, there wallpapers aren’t even moving when you add them to your screen it’s just a picture I didn’t screenshot anything I just put it on my screen and it’s just like any other normal wallpaper. Doesn’t move an inch. Not worth downloading and I just got AppIcons. DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!!👎🏻😠

This does not even deserve one star. I’ve never seen more of a joke of an app, this is so disappointing. There are ads popping up in your face every time you click something. And if you don’t click, it just does it for you. Every two seconds. The subscription is outrageous, not even worth it. I didn’t even get it and I can tell it looks bad. AppIcons is the epitome of disappointment, and even at the price of free it’s too expensive. Jeez.

So I downloaded it thinking it was legit and I was swiping through them and I saw a really cool one I liked and more then half of them have the membership pass and all of the unrealistic ones are free also waaaaay too many ads it seems like after each time I looked at one I got an ad most importantly IT DIDNT EVEN WORK I saved them and put it on and it didn’t move!!! I rate this 2 stars

You will pay for 50$ for 12 mons. Just to change your wall paper not like the other app that if you buy it it will get you the hole app it’s self and you dont need to pay any more and you can use it on your future phone so that means no pay no use u will get the trial for the thousand of pop up ads and the service is very expensive its ok if only 10$ for 6 mons but 50$ for a year it can pay may unlimited internet for 2mons no thx.

When I select a screen saver, the picture starts off like a real screen saver with movement. Then after about 5 seconds it stops. Am I missing something? I thought I was paying for continual motion...or it should at least give you the option for motion. I bought this thinking I could display a cool screen saver with movement on my iPad when entertaining but can’t seem to keep the picture in motion after 5 seconds.

I just got AppIcons! AppIcons is not that great. When you first get on it, it is so slow! And it’s not my phone. My phone it perfectly fine. It’s AppIcons ! It won’t let me load on to the other wallpapers. It loads FOREVER! And I am not kidding. I let my phone sit for ten minutes and it won’t stop loading! The ads pop up ever second. When you try to swipe for a new wallpaper it gets an ad. AppIcons is really killing me. Do not recommend!
