Themify - Widget & Icon Themes Reviews

by Heather Maybe

Really difficult to set up, and impose to customize the icons to the actual apps that you have installed—you can only customize icons for the limited list of apps that they have. Also the custom icons operate as shortcuts, they do not replace the actual app icons on your screen. Setting up Themify generates the custom shortcut icons and does not replace the actual app icons that you already display on your screen. You would have to manually go through and delete the original icons from your screen and then utilize the custom icon shortcut, but be careful not to delete the original icons for whichever apps they don’t have icons for with this app. Ultimately, since it doesn’t work for all apps, you’ll be left with a mix between original app icons and themified shortcut apps, which sortof defeats the whole purpose of the theme to make everything matchy. Not worth the hassle and you could potentially make a mistake and delete apps thst you need but for which they don’t have an icon.

Themify has absolutely no search function so you have to scroll through probably about 100 different themes and wallpapers. First of all there’s not a lot of variety. When you actually go to install it every time you click on one of their icons that is now on your home screen it will reroute you through the Internet into your actual folder. To me that is highly suspicious. Every time you change your theme you have to delete all of your old icons that are on your phone screen of which if you install all of them there are 40. Imagine changing this three times and you have to delete 120 different icons from your home screen. It does not keep anything in the folders it is supposed to be in. After all of that you have to pay $20 for the lifetime membership. $20 is not a big deal if Themify is working well. But for some thing where you can’t even search for a theme that you want it that’s ridiculous. Also the categories are a joke, you end up seeing the same item in multiple different categories making it wonder if they just didn’t want to create that many variations. I will definitely be reporting this to Apple Inc. requesting a refund. It’s not a bad idea but it lacks all functionality and unless you’re a teenage girl it’s just not worth it.

I downloaded Themify because it looks fun. I used the 3 day trial and decided it wasn’t for me. I read the terms and agreements on how to cancel. I used the email option within Themify for cancellation the same day I downloaded Themify (so before my 3 day trial was over) and they still charged my account. Why, when I did this days before the trial ended. Who knows.

As for the the actual features itself. The backgrounds you can just come up with yourself. It’s just saving a picture to your phone then save to wallpaper. The widgets and apps are a nightmare. You need to first download then save to phone, then it brings up a bunch apps that are links first, then takes you to Themify . And don’t get me started on trying to Organize them all ( seeing what downloaded, what didn’t, rearrangement with your current apps)

I’ve never left an apple App Store review until now…. That should tell you a lot.

I thought the content was great. The price was half the cost of some other apps so I went ahead and paid for a year. Now I’m regretting that. I spent a lot of time looking through the options and choosing what I wanted. I changed icons about 3 or 4 times, and every time there were a bunch that didn’t automatically transfer over. They had to be clicked and searched for and then added manually before downloading the profile—and I’m talking about things like Facebook and eBay. That took up a lot of time. Then there were several apps of mine that could not be found. I was going to create my own icon, but I’m not sure it’s even possible to make one that matches a style in the designed themes since there is no gradient or glitter, and as I said, once I tried to create a design, it would not “find” my apps like Hushmail or iPlum. After I spent all that time getting everything rearranged, I went to click on one of my apps and it gave an error message saying the address could not be found 🤦🏻‍♀️. So frustrating after spending all this time. I’ll have to delete it all and go back and download all of the apps again since I erased them. Not worth the time.

It’s a cool idea, definitely reminds me of the themes you can apply to a Samsung galaxy device just not as good. I don’t like that when you have a theme downloaded and try opening any app; for instance, the camera app or Instagram, it first opens safari then transfers you to the correct app you’re trying to use. It’s very annoying and some of the apps you have downloaded might not get changed when the theme is applied so it doesn’t look uniform. All in all the effort was there but the execution just wasn’t. For some these issues could be overlooked, but for me it is a just an extra step that makes opening any app take that much longer and causes me a big headache. I wish apple would give us the option directly to have themes like these though, very cute idea! ( I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and have apple beta 15.4 so not a device issue)

Paid for a subscription but within a few days asked for a refund (emailed support 2x with yet to receive a reply). Themify is not user friendly and is a hassle to download. App icons are downloaded as a short cut and does not replace the previous app icons, so you end up with multiple sets of icons, and have to one by one delete the previous icons. When you click on Themify , it opens safari then opens Themify , so unless less you leave Safari constantly running in the background, you have to close out safari each time you go into the apps. If you download the themed wallpaper or widgets, it does not set it automatically, it will save it under your photos and you have set it manually each time you download a new theme. Also the notifications only alert through the previous icons and not the current ones that were downloaded. The only positive thing I would say is there is a lot of selections to choose from, which is why I have a 2 star, otherwise I’d give a 1 star.

Although this is going in the right direction, it’s not there yet. The way this works is you’re setting up the new icon as a shortcut from safari, so each time you open Themify with the new this app icon it’s redirects you to safari first which then redirects you to Themify . This causes many issues one being that if you want to sign in using Facebook and you e set Facebook using a this app icon, it won’t recognize Facebook and gives an error. Also you won’t see notifications from the apps you set using this app anymore unless your go to your notifications panel and manually look for them. This is not ok, this is not a real theme app it’s an app teaching you how to use links which you can do this all for free on your own from safari by searching an image of good quality and following the same steps then you just have to figure out the redirect address of each app… you definitely need to do better than this!!

Hi! I really like the idea of Themify and the themes offered, they all are really cool! However, there are multiple issues with this.

1. When trying to download multiple selected icons, it asks you to install the mobile configuration to download a profile from the settings. I download it from chrome and nothing happens. I have not tried to use safari yet, but I figured that bug was worth mentioning
2. As someone else mentioned, not all of the apps on my iPhone are showing. Such as there is a replacement for the eBay icon yet it doesn’t see my eBay app on my phone. So the icon replacement doesn’t have a directory. Even when I search for Themify on the search bar, it does not show up. Same thing goes for my McDonald’s app.

These are the only issues I’ve seen thus far, I hope these issues get fixed soon. And in case using safari instead of chrome still doesn’t activate the setting to download a profile, I would suggest checking that too.

Other than this? It’s a great app! It has a great layout and the offered themes are great, I thoroughly enjoy that it doesn’t force you to buy some vip or premium thing to use most of the themes. Please don’t change that!

by Msjsgsksje

I would start off with yes it’s a great app however just like all the others it lets you download the icons then says you need premium so what I don’t understand is why you have to pay just make us watch five add and then we get the the option to use it cause imma be honest the ads is where the money is at nowadays one ad if watched is about equal to an subscription so all you have to do is set it up where every time you want to use the icons it says however many add you’ve watched out of whatever amount now I would go with five but that’s not the point all I would like the creators to do is make it so you don’t have to pay for every little thing ever so if you read this I’m sorry for complaining I just feel that this should be heard to everyone have a blessed life.

I love Themify . I wish there were more themes to choose by. I also wish there was a way to save the icons to our photos so we can use them for other apps that it doesn’t have on the list to download. I had to make my own that don’t match right. I also with there were more widgets to choose from with the theme of choice. And when I download a theme and apply to my phone I click an app it opens safari and then Themify . Which I’m thinking it’s a phone error maybe not Themify ? But I don’t know? One more thing they should add is to where we can “favorite” the themes we like so we don’t have to keep going back to find it. So add more themes, widgets and features such as adding a “favorites” option. Add a way to save the icons for apps so we can use for others that may not be listed to install. (Or put more on your list to install)

by Moon~chan

I honestly downloaded this because I was hoping to change my aesthetic I already made without all the hassle. Yes, the themes are very pretty but it seems like it’s almost required to pay for the themes. Even if you choose one of the “not premium” choices, you can only use 5 widgets otherwise you have to buy the premium. While they aren’t asking for a lot of money, this is something you could do by yourself for free with some extra finger grease and not have to worry about paying the 10 dollars a year or else your widgets disappear. I think Themify could go a long way if it had some more simple designs to just give for free. And not in the way of “oh the crown one you have to pay for but the non-crown one you still have to pay for if you want to really use it.”, you know? Overall, not really terrible, some of the themes could be better, but the marketing seems really sketchy. I almost thought that the premium pop up ad was just Themify demanding I buy premium or else I can’t use anything at all. I’m not saying to get rid of the premium, I understand that people put a lot of work into these widgets and possible drawings, I’m just saying that if you advertise something as the free option, actually be truthful about it.

It’s an ok app, wasn’t expecting anything better but the reason I gave a 3 star review is because I liked this theme of widgets but when I looked at the list it gave me there wasn’t everything to match the widget with, like example when I hit the setting widget the settings app wasn’t on the list they gave me. Another things is that when I wanted to add a big widget for just some photos on my Home Screen I didn’t know how to apply it to my Home Screen, when I hit the help button it didn’t really tell me how to add it to my Home Screen it just simply said to hit “Set” and it’ll be there but it wasn’t. Just wanted to come on here to give you guys some suggestions to change around Themify so myself and others can be happy with there Home Screen and how it looks! Thank you for hearing me out, if anywhere in the review you can help me please do, Thanks You!
A more detailed review I would say is there aren’t enough apps on the list or as the widgets, I want my whole phone to have a widget, if that makes since! And for the picture widgets to add space on my phone is to add more detail to the help button in the corner, so I can apply the larger widgets, Just reply again if you need MORE detail!

I love Themify and all of its themes and aesthetics! My only real request is to bring back the option to save icons as images so that I can just create the shortcuts for them. I’m sure that’s not a popular request, but I liked having the shortcuts. It’s frustrating that bookmarks don’t show notification badges, but the shortcuts do. It’s also frustrating that the installed apps have to redirect through safari. I understand why, and I have reduce motion on, but if my internet is slow, it means it can take time to open Themify . Plus it means safari is always open in the background.

I know asking for shortcuts wouldn’t be very popular. Most people don’t want to take the time to create them. But making in alternate option would be great for me!

Otherwise, great job on Themify . Can’t wait to see what other designs are added :)

by Kaylie🦋💙

It’s a great app and I love using it! There’s a pretty good selection of backgrounds, widgets, and icons but I still think there should be a bigger selection of free ones. One think that I think would be useful, is if you guys added a search bar so that people could search up a color, theme, etc. For example, if you search up “blue”, then any blue icons, backgrounds, and widgets will pop up! This would also make it easier for people who want to find free things because you could just search up “free”. One problem that I had with Themify is that I wasn’t able to add multiple widgets to my phone. I have Themify a four out of five because of the few issues, but overall I give Themify a thumbs up, and I recommend that you should download it!! 👍😁

I was able to add multiple widgets now so just forget about what I said about the widgets lol 😂.

Themify has been the best app i’ve tried so far. Of all of the apps i’ve tried this is the easiest to work with and figure out how to use. If you’re looking for something that you can get good sets without paying, this is Themify for you. All of the sets are so cute including the ones that are free. The icons are also way easier to download than any other app i’ve had. All it does is take you to safari (if your an apple user) and you download it to your home screen from there. They also have separate widgets, icons, and even wallpapers that you can use. (i like to use sets better just to get a glimpse of what it would look like on my screen) In all, pretty nice app. :)

I love Themify !! A LOT!! But will you PLEASE?!?!?! Fix the issue?! Where it tells you what to do which is download the file then go to your settings and it shows you the download is supposed to be on the top under Apple ID thing above the airplane mode!! And it’s not!!! Then it shows where to install it and it’s not even there!!! I picked my theme saved it saved the widgets selected all the icons and still NOTHING!!!! I’ve tried different themes and followed instructions!!! How is it ppl that have Themify?! Had no PROBLEMS?!?!?! With downloading their themes installing them where it’s easy for them to follow instructions it tells you! FIX THIS PROBLEM?!?!?! I WILL NOT USE SHORT CUTS FOR MY ICONS!!! IF YOU SUGGEST THAT APP IT IS A USELESS APP AND ITS ANNOYING!!!

So I love Themify of course, I just have a few minor recommendations! Themify made my Home Screen look amazing and cute, but I saw a few things I kind of wish was in Themify . When you try to download icons you can only download about 5 at a time till they say start a feee trial to download multiple at a time? 😕 when I also download the icons, they open my Safari to take me to the original app I wanted to open. Maybe if you can download the this app icons like you download the widgets, so we can put it in shortcuts and it’ll work more properly! These were only suggestions that I really wish Themify would have, but either way I still think it’s a good one!

Just downloaded Themify today and love it, but ever since I have access to settings my phone started acting strange and glitching a lot. I have done all of my updates so I don’t know if the problem is from Themify . I just found it weird that my phone started acting up after I downloaded Themify .

Also, I feel like there should be more options for other apps especially games. I say this because I’m a gamer (for fun) and don’t really use other apps very often.

I’ve also noticed that whenever I save a widget from Themify it doesn’t save to my photos. Thank you so much for understanding, other than that I have no complaints.☺️

Themify actually works, to my surprise. I love it so much! I’ve been on a quest to find an app that works! I fell in love with ALL the designs quickly. Most of them were FREE, which never happens :l

But, Themify has flaws. I think we should be able to download all of them at the same time without having to pay. Of course, you need to make money, but it’s kind of unfair. On the bright side, you can save multiple and make a TRILLION DIFFERENT ICONS TO GET A... dun dun dun... Rainbow screen! :DD

Anyways, I highly recommend it. There’s so many icons, widgets, and more to choose from. This is probably the best app out of the others I’ve tried, and if you want a cute galaxy screen, a Kawwai anime screen, a aesthetic cottagecore screen, a dark academia screen, or anything else you can imagine, they will have it for you!

I love customizing my screen to fit my personality and to just make it cuter. I would like to say to anyone looking for a better app to use for this, it’s the best one I’ve ever used. It’s easy, adorable themes, not blurry or glitchy like other apps, and it’s good even without premium. Which I love. Most of these apps aren’t as good quality. And in order to get good things or to even download a wallpaper, you have to pay tons of money. As a teenager with not enough money to spare, I love that it’s cheap yet very well done. I recommend that you get Themify. It’s really nice to use and it’s just so adorable 🥰 Thank you, keep up the good work <3

À mon avis c'est vraiment super.
