AMAZING APP!!! RECOMMEND IT 100%!!!

I wanna say, out of all the apps I’ve tried, this one is the best. It has amazing themes and designs and it doesn’t even require a subscription to access some of the better looking themes. In other apps I’ve tried, they have all the good themes behind a subscription fee which is absolutely ridiculous for some icons. There is one thing to note, you do have to watch a 15 second AD to unlock each icon and I had 60 icons so if you time it, it’ll take you approximately 15 minutes to download them all. Which isn’t bad for a free app, I was just watching Netflix on my laptop while downloading the icons (multitasking). Once you do download all the icons, click continue and download them, then click the ok and confirm buttons. After that, you just go to settings and click on profiles and install it from there and all of the icons will be on you’re Home Screen at once. The widgets will also be downloaded. However, you’ll have to go back to the theme in the app again to download the wallpaper but that takes a few seconds. Overall, I highly recommend this theme app above all others, if you have a problem with this (FREE) app then you’re nuts, but that’s my opinion. Hope you guys enjoy!

Great when functional

I love the concept of this app. The themes are vibrant and aesthetic and can really just make your phone look a whole lot nicer and give an upgrade from the boring standard app icons. One thing that really stood out to me was that you can download the icons without paying, which is a feature most other apps don’t have. You do have to watch an ad for each icon, but if you have the time and patience it’s definitely worth it. However, I do have a couple problems. First, the ads only work sometimes. Often whenever I try to watch an ad to download an app icon, it will just load and then say unable to load ad. However, sometimes the ads will work and unlock an icon for me. In fifteen minutes I only managed to download 3 icons because of this problem. Please fix this! The icons are gorgeous and I just want to revamp the look of my phone, but I can’t. My second and final issue is that, while scrolling through themes, I found an inappropriate one showcasing a woman’s nude chest. I found this disturbing, because I was just looking for aesthetic themes and found this. Please be sure to only have safe and appropriate themes, because children are using this app as well. Other than that the app is great, it’s just that it doesn’t function properly sometimes and some themes are inappropriate.

YOU GUYS ARE WRONG, THIS IS A GOOD APO

So this is for everyone who thinks that it only goes in your camera roll! Or it won’t work. Most of them are supposed to be downloaded through the settings. The rest are in the camera roll which you have to add in Shortcuts and nothing else. Those are because they weren’t added to the ones that need downloading. So stop hating on this app! It’s great and it works! Just make sure that all of them have to be downloaded and you don’t have to watch the ads to unlock them to use them. Oh yeah, about the ads. If it shows you the screen where you can pay there is a fine print button where you can go on without paying with ads. You can still you the app but tap on the ones you want to use and press continue, you will have to watch ads to unlock every single one you picked. It was annoying for me because I have a 9 year old daughter who installed this with my permission and had to watch ads for every single one. Still great and works, just too many ads of you don’t pay.

Phone functionality suffers with this app

The way this app achieves an impressive aesthetic is crafty for sure. Instead of actually changing the app icons (something that I assume is impossible in the Apple ecosystem), this app creates shortcuts and bookmarks that link to the actual apps. The idea is that you assign the styluses icons to the bookmarks and shortcuts, then remove the actual apps from your Home Screen. This gives you the visuals you are after, but using your phone this way can be maddening. If you are used to clicking the back button to return to your previous app, you can’t anymore - it will just take you back to the bookmark/shortcut and then bounce back to the app you are already using. Want to grab a quick photo? Be prepared to wait an extra few seconds for the camera shortcut to bounce to the app, then for Siri to remind you that this is a shortcut. Want to reveal all of your open apps? You screen will be polluted with empty black windows… every app you open has a corresponding bookmark/shortcut open with it. I give the creators credit for figuring out how to achieve this kind of visuals in a locked down iOS environment, but unless you really value style over functionality, this is just too wonky to endorse. And if you do decide to go ahead with it, be prepared to spend hours setting up your shortcuts and bookmarks - nothing is automatic here.

Lots of options, but doesn’t work correctly.

Paid for premium so I wouldn’t have to watch 20+ ads just to add one icon, but 1 month in, it says I need to watch ads to install my icons (which I shouldn’t need to do since I’m “premium”). So what exactly did I prepay for? There’s no way to click on “contact us” through the app - it won’t go nowhere. There’s no way to get in touch with any one for help through the App Store either. Frustrating to say the least. Also, there’s no way for you to “uncheck all” for the icons selection. There’s a pre-set amount of icons that are checked for you already when you choose a theme to download. But if you don’t want certain checked icons, you literally have to scroll and “uncheck” the ones you don’t want to install one by one. This is time consuming; not to mention the app will some times freeze and close out on you, making you have to start all over again. So, cool app, lots of customization options…just some stuff needs to be fixed. ESP the bug about buying premium but it doesn’t register that you had, and makes you watch ads anyways. Also, please provide us with a way to reach a human being for help with stuff like this.

Disappointed with current version of the app.

Usually I love this app but with the latest update it won’t let me customize the icon shortcuts in the app. If I’m trying to use an icon for something else or assign it to a different app that it isn’t automatically assigned to, it won’t let me search for the app, and just pops up with an error message that says “The data couldn’t be read because it is missing.” Also the transparent icons are awesome when they do work, and are honestly the main reason I like using this app for my phone backgrounds but honestly recently they only load the correct image about 20% of the time, and the rest of the time it’ll either load the wrong image, or it’ll just stay all black. Without those two features the app loses a lot of its functionality, but I’m still kind of making it work. It’s just frustrating because I used to change my phone background & icons every month or so and Brass USED TO make that process a lot easier & faster. But for almost a month now it’s been really almost impossible to do so using Brass, and at this point I’m questioning whether I really still need this app.

AMAZING Experience!

Okay so I can assure I’m not a bot lol, but this app it literally amazing!! So I’m not one to go off and spend money on all these memberships for little silly apps cause ya gurl like to save her money, but you don’t even have to buy at all to have a great experience on here! So for the app icons if you wanna change it up a little u do have to watch an add for EACH app icon you want which is a little tiring and aggravating but if you do choose to watch all of them, it’s definitely WORTH THE WAIT! Also, with the widget and wallpapers you just have to watch ONE simple ad and it’s done. just like that! They also have this one widget where you can make it like transparent and stuff to match you wallpaper which I was personally looking for and I LOVED it! And keep in mind everything I just told you I didn’t spend one dime on anything! This app will be something I keep for a LONG time and I’m recommending to all my friends and family! Anyways, love y’all have an amazing day <3

Good result if you pay/put in the effort.

So first of all, it costs $25/year to use this app. Then, a good outcome requires more work than I initially expected. You have to change your wallpaper and most icons yourself, Brass just gives you the raw material and instructions. Also, I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but my screen doesn’t show the red notification badges on my new icons. This may actually be a plus for me, we’ll see. All in all I’m very happy, but I can see how it wouldn’t be for everyone. If you decide to do this, here’s my advice: plan the layout of your screen before you try to install, make a list of all your apps, then systematically switch over. Also lots of apps are not in their library of icons, but you can get around that by screenshoting an icon that you like, cropping the image to just the icon, then following their instructions to utilize shortcuts.

Glitchy and no badge notifications

It won’t even let me watch videos to unlock apps, just keeps saying “an error occurred…” (after reading some other reviews, I’m assuming this is because they only allow you a couple of free icons, regardless of the claim to be “free with ads”) Aside from that, they don’t even offer icons for all apps, only select apps. So for the functionality of my phone, I want, for example, Life360 on the first page of my Home Screen. I use it many times per day, but there is no option to change this icon, so I either have to bury it in a folder on another page (no) or few with the bright purple icon (defeats the whole purpose of the app) and that is the case for almost every app I have. Beyond that, since these are shortcuts, there are no badge notifications. So you won’t see the little alert on your messages or mail or anywhere else, informing you that something is going on there. Also takes away from the functionality of my phone. Great in theory, needs work to make it more practical. I would happily pay $ for this same idea with the badge notifications feature and the option for an icon for every single app I would ever want to download.

Just Awful

It kept either closing or glitching when i would try to watch a video to unlock something. When it crashed nothing was saved and i got as far as trying to instal it but the system wasn’t working. I just spent an hour adding the correct apps to the correct skins then took forever to unlock for free because im not interested in paying monthly. Why is nothing just pay for it and be done now? Once the app crashes all my progress was gone. Really glad i didn’t sign up or pay for anything because in the end the set up wasn’t working and was not easy. I kept downloading the profile thing but it wasn’t coming up in my settings like it was meant to. Find a different app that lets you just pay outright instead of giving you anything from 15-60 second adds per skin just to unlock everything. They only give you maybe 5 free skins on some of these and after adds yes its free but if you want fast and easy that works well, this is not it. I don’t think I have ever gone out of my way to leave a bad review online, im not sure if this was just the last straw for me this week or if im right to warn people the app may not work even if you put time or money into it but be warned.

Good but....

Ok so this app is nice I really like how you can choose which apps you want to be on your Home Screen. This app is also nice because it has way more apps that people need that aren’t on any of the other places. The only really annoying thing is you have to watch an add for each app you want to unlock if you don’t want to subscribe or pay money. I personally think that 1 add should unlock at least up to 3 apps instead of having to watch one for each and every app. The other thing that is annoying is that no where in the app does it say if you delete the profiles from settings you will then proceed to delete all of your icons you just set up. I literally just did that and I was honestly really annoyed by that. So a friendly recommendation I have is to have 1 add unlock up to 3 apps and to specify in big bold letters at the beginning of the process that deleting the profiles will delete the icons. Other than that I really like the app with a lot of really cool themes and I will definitely continue to use this app in the future.

PLEASE ADD DE-SELECT ALL OPTION

When choosing icons to download, the app automatically selects all the icons that it finds matches to (in my case it’s usually around 44 apps), but most of the time I only want to download maybe 5 of them. So I have to manually UNCHECK the remaining 39 icons before I download the profile or it floods my home screen with unwanted icons! I wish there was a way to “select all”, “de-select all”, and also manually pick the select few we want. ISSUE #2 - the weather widget has duplicate numbers and degrees with decimal points in them… It looks like a bug or issue….. ISSUE #3 - I wish the widgets could actually be transparent and not have set a screenshot as the background to make it look like it’s transparent. ISSUE #4 - please let us favorite and save themes that we like from the main page. ISSUE #5 - please allow us to download all icons even if they are able to be linked using the quick link option. Otherwise I absolutely love the app.

Have to pay in the end.

I hate writing reviews, but I felt like I had to for this one. Okay so here goes, the app is amazing they have so many different options to choose from and it’s easy to get the icons on your phone. And it’s free and you only have to watch some short ads to get the icons. I’m sure you’re wondering then why only two stars. Well because it only lets you do that five time until you have to pay for the app. NOT COOL. If you’re advertising that it’s for free and all you have to do is watch some ads to get the icons then that’s what it should be. Not here’s a teaser of some cute icons and then boom now you have to pay. The icons where you have to manually add to your phone using shortcuts still work, it’s the ones that are easy install. So if you’re going to do that then make it so I can just use the shortcuts on my phone. I understand people need to make money, but to make it $10 a month is a little crazy. If it was $10 one time purchase I would have just paid it and moved on with my life. If they would fix those little issues I would have given them 5 stars hands down.

I really recommend this app

Unlike other apps, Brass doesn’t require a paying fee. I have looked on all these apps and the good themes for your wallpaper, they all cost money, but Brass doesn’t. All you have to do is watch ads, and for one app you just have to follow them and for that one you don’t need to watch a ad. For me, I don’t like watching ads so I screen shot the pictures and press continue, continue again and add wallpaper. Then I use an app called shortcuts, you can make your wallpaper an original design. And then I use the screenshots and make my wallpaper. And I do use brass for the widgets they get saved in “Your Widgets” So, I recommend this app because it is free, and there is good themes. So if you don’t like this app it’s your loss. But if you don’t like the ads like me, then I would screenshot the pictures and download shortcuts.

Odd Happenings with My Widgets

My widgets have been acting up lately. This app has been good to me for the amount of time I have had it, until recently. It first started with my photos on my widgets going away, and it is now, as of posting this review, showing my widget photos smaller and with a black border. I have tried restarting my phone and changing around my widgets in the app and through the widgets themselves. It worked the first time, but nothing seems to be working this time. The widgets are still smaller than they should be, they have a black border around the images, and are either centered and smaller or moved downward and smaller within the widget. Is there something wrong with the app? My phone? What can I do to fix this? Will it fix itself? I will change my rating once the issue is resolved. I have no complaints from this app, and this is the only issue I have had the entirety of the time I have had this app. So I am curious on what’s going on and how I can fix it.

I had some problems with watching ads to get the app icon

So I don’t know if anyone else has had this problem. But if someone knows how to fix this please tell me. So I created my own theme and then when I went to install it I tried installing all of the icons that I had which was only 21. And when I tried watching an ad to I guess download it a notification popped up saying that there was an error getting an ad or something. And I tried a bit later to see if it was just my phone. But even after closing the app bringing it up again and also creating a whole new theme and updating the app. That same thing still pops up and I haven’t tried restarting my device but I don’t think that would help. Since I’m thinking it has something to do with the actual app. But overall it’s a really good app I just have had that problem so far. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it then please tell me. Because I don’t know what else to do to fix that problem.

It’s ok but I’d make a few changes.

Ok. First of all, this app is super cool, and there are so many different themes to choose from. One of my problems is that when you pick a theme, like for example yesterday I tried to pick a fall theme with pumpkins as the wallpaper. When I clicked on it and tapped setup theme, it told me to select which apps I had that I wanted to change, and not all of the apps that I have were there. I don’t see why there are only 20 apps for you to choose from, when everyone has more apps than that. It doesn’t even have a choice for this app! Brass! And then, when I clicked next, it made me watch a 30 second ad for every single app that I wanted to change. And, it only changes what the apps look like but it is a completely different app. You still have to keep the regular looking app. It only changes the icons but it doesn’t change my wallpaper or anything. No widgets, no wallpapers, I have to keep my regular apps, and I have to watch ads for every single app.

A trick in disguise? You decide.

This showed up in an ad for me, at first I thought “Wow, this is going to improve my screen.” But . . . I was wrong. You see, this app can screw up your apps when you use the new ones instead of the real ones, this can happen by not having the real apps on your phone and instead having the ones you wanted. This happed because some of my apps would not process the icons. So I had to restart, and apparently. All my apps where gone. Thank God I was able to get them back or else I would not be able to write this review. This app also intended to “Track” you, which can raise a red flag to people of privacy and safety. I was tricked into getting this app, and now I know that stuff like this intends to look like it wants to help but really it wants to screw up your screen. If you read all of this, now you are probably blaming me for getting this. Well, yea I looked at the reviews and stuff but then again bots are a thing now, so ya. I kinda blame myself for getting this, but most of all. This intends to “Track”, and screw up your phones apps. Well to me this seems true.

Started out amazing

Loved it in the beginning. But now when you try to customize or request an app symbol, there’s a polio that says “data can’t be read because it is missing”. For example, I use the Weather. Channel app instead of the Apple Weather app, and you used to be able to choose which app opens within the brass app, but now the pop up says no data every time. Even native apps don’t come up to be selected. I’ve tried deleting the Brass app and reinstalling on multiple occasions. There is no support within the app because when you select the “contact us”, nothing happens and their website just directs to the App Store. No way to file a request or contact someone for customer service help. Defeats the purpose if I have to shortcut every single app manually vs choosing a different app within the Brass system. Expensive for the customization portion to not work at all, and to have zero customer service contact capabilities. Guess I’ll cancel my subscription and try a different app.

Cute icons, but I was expecting more

When I just downloaded the app, I was like oh cool, I’m gonna be changing the look of my icons, and my wallpaper wallpaper works fine, but I was expecting a little more from the icons whenever I download in the icons, I accepted the request and I was expecting a little more because all it did was give me a bookmark so that means I had to remove them from my home screen and then I had to remove all of them and I didn’t wanna waste all my time having to remove all of the apps, and then placed all of the bookmarks in the place that I want them to be in so the wallpaper is fine like all you have to do is download a picture and then put it in your wallpaper but when I was doing the apps, I got kind of frustrated. Overall, this is a great app and I know that it can’t like actually change the picture of your app but I wish that I would just say this will give you a bookmark not actually changing your app icon.

Better in Theory Than in Actuality

The app mostly worked the way it was supposed to. I did run into the following issues: -The app frequently crashed or gave me an error. -When I installed the theme, for some reason several of the icons I had selected did not install and I had to download them manually. Apart from the actual issues, the app was kind of a pain to set up. I quickly realized that replacing the icons for ALL of my apps would be impossible, so I decided to do only the ones on my Home Screen. This was still a very time consuming task involving dragging each individual icon to where I wanted it and creating replacements for some icons that didn’t save correctly. I will say the knowledge alone was worth the money I paid for the app. It’s not actually the app icons that are changing; instead you’re creating new bookmarks on your Home Screen that lead to the apps. Since I know how to create icons using Canva, I could create and install my own themes if I wanted to without having to maintain an active subscription. Of course being able to install a bunch of apps in bulk all at once saves a lot of time…but that was the thing that didn’t work right for me. I actually ended up removing the theme for the reason that since the icons are only bookmarks, they don’t show badge notifications, and I need my phone and messaging apps to show badge notifications in order to be practical.

A Waste of Money

Of course this app doesn’t tell you the half a dozen hoops you have to jump through to actually get your background/screens to look like this. Make no mistake, you have to download EVERYTHING, from the background photo to each and every single icon. And then you also have download the configuration profile, and then you also have to install the configuration profile, and then you have to downloads the apps, and set up the icons, and the widgets….. You end up spending two hours just on trying to download everything and set it up. And it messes everything up on your phone - it’s not like it copies how everything is set up on your phone and then replaces it nicely and easily with the background and icons you chose. You basically pay them to do a lot of work yourself and for them to still mess up your phone. And I was actually dumb enough to get the entire year’s subscription. Don’t make the same mistake I did. This is not worth it. It’s a waste of time and waste of money because now I paid for an app I’ll never use.

Great But…

This is a great app, don’t get me wrong. I love it! However, it could use some improvements. First of all, when you open the app, you immediately get an ad for premium. I would have gotten premium, however, I and many other people don’t want to pay 67 cents a week. If it was a one time purchase, or $2 a month, yeah I would do it. There are tons of ads everywhere. I haven’t even gotten a full theme because I would have to watch a ton of ads. I love the feature to make your own widgets and that I use regularly, but I wish there were more wallpapers to choose from, or a feature to upload a picture and it could make it better quality. The reason I say that is because the quality of the wallpapers?! AMAZING! But like I said, it could use tons of improvements.

The App is great

I thought this app would be awesome…looked awesome and I was excited to get it. Then. After I got the app I saw other reviews that said “ Don’t get this app it’s horrible” and that scared me then when I started using it, it was just trash…great app and super neat but watching ads and having to pay…What is up with that?!!? Furthermore, I have a question I read more reviews and they said - “ Have to pay in the end” when is the end exactly?? I love the app and it works great but it’s just not simple to use. I feel like I would like it a lot better if they would just make it less complex…I’m not horrible at technology but I’m a tech person I’m just a person who wants to make their phone look nice with an app that helps me do that not an app that helps me get agitated. Anyway I’m I’m deciding to keep the app and am just going to figure it out. *Shouldn’t have to be that hard!!!😡🙄*-NOW THE ADS AREN’T WORKING AND IT’S NOT LETTING ME CONTINUE TO MAKE THE ICONS CUSTOM!!!!😡😤😡👿😠😡👿

Decent App

I’ve tried a few others and found that they didn’t quite give the same level of control over the icons and which app they would redirect you to as this one. I like how many icons some theme packs come with so you can really get creative with the apps you have and you don’t have to just stick with the few system apps fitting the theme. My biggest issue is that no matter what I do, some apps just don’t work when I click on them. So I’m using the red neon theme and when I use specific apps (i.e. Chase, ECOVACSHOME, Autotask Live) they open to the black screen but don’t redirect to the app. I tried putting them back on multiple times but it still doesn’t work. I wish there was a way to just download the icons as images so I could set them up in the shortcuts app manually. I know that some apps require you to do that already (I.e. the phone app, FaceTime, voice memos) so it’s possible. Just make it an option for all of the icons.

Mistake

The app is so nice I love it this app changes your icons and wallpaper however you want it to be I love this app so much and no gonna lie this is the only one that does not lie like the others the others have the icons/wallpapers/widgets all premium so you always have to pay unlike this one which actually works but there is one problem if I don’t add an app that I forgot I have to restart making it because every time I leave apps they always restart so anyway when I entered the app I wanted there is gonna be thousands of the same apps plus the app I added and at the begging I never got a tutorial but the wallpapers are great just one question if I delete the app will my screen go back to normal?because I can’t delete the icons I’m stuck having them!but anyways if that glitch was gone this would be five stars but originally the app is great!

3 years ago, victoriaswhitmore

overall great app but…

so the way this app works is not by setting up shortcuts that open apps, but by creating a bookmark to a url that opens an app. then, the bookmark is added to the home screen with the icon of your choosing. it’s nice that they’re taking the work out of it for the user, but here’s the thing: it opens the bookmark AND the app when you click an icon. it may seem insignificant, but it drives me nuts. basically it’s like it opens two of the same app. i would rate higher if you were able to manually download ALL the icons as opposed to letting the app set up the weird bookmark profile for you. yeah it’ll take longer to manually create shortcuts, but when you do it manually there’s no extra bookmark “app” that pops up with the app you clicked. if there’s a way to download all the icons from a theme as photos, please let me know! otherwise this would be a great feature to add for picky people like me

Love it

I have searched so many apps and download it so many apps to create a fun theme for my phone and make it look more aesthetic. None of the apps I’ve downloaded have worked. This app is an amazing app if you’re looking for aesthetic wallpapers and themesI love this app because you don’t have to pay for anything. You can create your own same or you could just download a theme. If you don’t wanna pay for the premium then all you have to do if it says download all and you have to get the premium it’ll bring you to another thing if he pranks ex. Then all you have to do is follow them on Pinterest or watch videos to download each and every theme for your apps. I definitely recommend. I love this app but if I were you I would download it right away.✨✨✨

It’s really great!! Just one thing…

I love this app, and use it all the time. I just wish I would have been warned about the naked/nearly naked girls that popped up in some of the themes. As a girl I tolerated is a little more but if I was a guy I’d be horrified! I’d just ask that you not introduce this content to boys who are either very young and don’t know better, or older and have a problem with it anyway. That’s just my recommendation. I also wish there was an easier way to download all the themes! It take a hours to watch an ad for every. Single. Icon. For instance, today as I was making a new theme it took OVER FIVE HOURS to complete because I have sooooo many apps. That’s like, 80 ads I have to watch. It would be better if you had to watch, I don’t know, maybe five or six ads in a row to unlock all of the icons? Anyways I still love this app! Thanks for your time :)

A lot of ads but they are avoidable

Ok so the app itself is good, there are a lot of different themes that you can choose through without having to pay. If you don’t mind watch a ton of ads I recommend this app but there is also another way that I got the icons without watching the ads. All you have to do is screenshot the icons you want then use the shortcuts app and do everything like that. It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s not if you have a lot of apps on you Home Screen then it will take more than an hour because of the ads but if you do it this way it will probably take about 30 minutes. This is also a better way to do stuff because if you use this app it sometime doesn’t take you to the apps that are assigned or it just doesn’t take you to the app period. But I mainly recommend this if you need a matching app icons.

Worth a read

1) Poor customer service (they ignore you if you ask for a refund and don’t even answer back). 2) This app does not actually change the icon for apps. It creates a shortcut, which is what you see in the pictures. What this means is that for each app, there is a shortcut on your Home Screen as well. If you want it to look nice, you will have to take all your apps (not the shortcuts) and put them in a separate folder and hide them somewhere. 3) On top of that, because they are shortcuts, they do not show if you have a notification or not, which is very annoying. 4) not all the apps on your phone have a downloadable “shortcut” to replace the app. I’m not just talking about random downloaded apps, they also do not have ones for apps that are already downloaded to your iPhone (such as FaceTime) so it looks stupid having half normal looking apps and the other half with the changed icons. Do not waste your money on this, cause like I said, they will ignore you if you ask for a refund.

Great - can use improvements.

I’ve been using Brass for a few months now- and here are some things I’ve noticed along with tips. First of all, brass is a great app if your looking for a free, aesthetic home and Lock Screen. The best part is that you can choose whatever theme you want for 100% free and zero needed subscriptions. Yes, it is a long and tedious process if you are a free member. You have to go through a gazzilion ads before actually receiving the pictures or account. Honestly, I didn’t mind because it saves your process if you close the app. Second, for some themes, you must have their account log into yours to add the app themes, which is against the App Store and apple rules. I honestly don’t think you should follow through with this process, but it is a long process to go into shortcuts and match the app to the photo. Would use this option to keep your account safe from hacking. Third, there is no search option. Yes, some of the themes are in sections, but the random ones just go on and on, so it’s a long process to find a theme that suits you. I definitely recommend this app for aesthetic purposes and if you have free time. This is a long process to do if you don’t subscribe, but either way works. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Don’t fall for it

This app is terrible. It walks you through the process of choosing your background and icons with the impression that you can use the free version with ads, but when you go to actually apply your changes, you have to pay $24/year to use it. Fine, I was really looking for a cleaner interface. But then you go to install, and realize that you’re not reskinning your phone at all, you’re creating shortcuts for every app and have to rearrange your entire Home Screen and phone again. Never mind that many of your apps you have to link manually through shortcuts. It takes at least a half hour. The worst is when you go to actually use your apps you are aware of the extra step being taken to open everything through a shortcut and it doubles the number of apps you need to close when you go to close your apps. I bought this because I was looking for a cleaner, less cluttered experience and its made it more cluttered and less user friendly.

I usually don’t write reviews

As the title stated I usually don’t care enough to write a review but this app is disgusting. The amount of ads forcefully shoved into the app is absolutely disgusting. Before I could even get a chance to try out the app, I’m bombarded with subscriptions and different monthly payments to unlock full access to an app I’ve never even tried before. After I clicked the tiny decline button , I was forced to watch a short ads for another free to play game. I’m used to that do that isn’t a problem. Next, i found roughly 30 or so interesting simple themes, quickly picked one and selected a few icons i liked. The problem with this app is that it showed I’ve unlocked two icons out of 100ish APPS. AND IF I WANTED TO UNLOCK THEM, I WOULD HAVE TO WATCH THE ADS OR PAY THE SUBSCRIPTION. So before i got a chance to see the worth of anything this app had to offer, I was bombarded and pressed to make a purchase or give up 30 seconds of my time to unlock one icons for a theme. Do not download until they change this.

Pretty Good

I'd say this app is overall pretty good. It's definitely better than the other apps because it let's you do that what I know of all of then for free. However, if you don't want to pay it makes you watch an app for EVERY SINGLE ICON. And on top of that it only let's you do five at a time, not that you can't do them all, but it takes longer that way, and if you accidentally close the app you have to be able to find it again to do the rest. AND if you accidentally swipe down off the ad icon page you lose all the progress you did with watching ads for the apps. But another good thing is if you download the profile thing it automatically puts all five icons on your home screen and already working. Although the last five apps didn't let me for some reason, so I did it manually. But in the end it looks amazing and I'd say it's definitely worth it.

Brass is Awesome, but has room to improve

Let me start off by saying, it’s easy, it really does help you personalize your phone more then ever before, however the selection is scarce, I love the neon orange, it has almost every app I use, And for the ones it didn’t hAve, there was a selection of generic symbols and shapes and letters that were able to be downloaded to fill the void, however, I’d like to see other colors with as much selection, for me personally the orange is a close second to a neon green, but nevertheless I’d like to do the neon green, the custom widgets are a little harder to figure out, but with perseverance those too became easy to manage overall great app, just needs more selection and better app coverage, the neon orange is perfect, let’s see the green get better

I’m disappointed

I never write reviews because I’m not gonna spend my time taking my anger out on app developers but I love the icons they look really good I thought for most of them I would have to make a custom icon but no, pretty much all my apps were customizable. So then why 1 star? Look no one is going to pay a weekly fee just for your apps to look good. So I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say everyone started out on the free route, they advertise it as free so why pay right? Well at the very end you either pay the stupid amount or you watch a bunch of adds to unlock them all, BUT IT ALWAYS CRASHES AFTER ONE ADD. I have a fairly new phone (the XR) and I have never had crashing problems before. I’m not saying there doing this on purpose but, I mean making people watch 2 or 3 adds and then crash the app and then make them watch another 2 or 3 adds until they get mad and delete the app, I mean it sounds really sketchy. Overall this is just a cash grab app I’m pretty sure most these icons weren’t made by them anyway I’m very disappointed

Brass As a Free Icon App

Hi! I’ve had this app for awhile now and being able to customize apps and make your own backgrounds, leaves you with amazing creativity. I just created an anime one and I’m obsessed. The thing I love the most is that you don’t have to subscribe, you can just watch a bunch of ads. That is the cheapest solution I’ve ever seen to an icon app. Every other icon app costs money or has barely any free options. Also the subscription price is cheaper than any app I’ve seen. It’s crazy how much better this app is compared to others. And believe me I tried multiple apps and none of them were worth it. I love this app! Thank you so much for providing a free customizable icon app! It made me feel so good about my new home screen!

Outstanding App

I would like to start off by saying that this app is literally amazing, with or without purchasing, it works wonderfully and is extremely simple to set up. I wanted so badly to give this 5 stars, but I refrained because of a slight issue I have personally with the app. The only thing that could make the app better for me would be if you could somehow favorite the different themes that you liked, so you don’t have to scroll forever to find them again. Or, if you could search for themes. It would be less time consuming on my end, but that is really my only ‘complaint’. This app is literally the best that I have found in a long time and I really appreciate all of the work that has gone into making sure it runs smoothly and works efficiently! Great job guys! Keep it up!

Overboard

I was looking for a good app to download for customizing my home page. I looked at some other apps but none stood out more than Brass. At first, I thought heck yeah this is so cool! I love each theme and the multitude of choices for custom app icons. Honestly, it is the best widget app out there. Upon downloading the app icons, I discovered that you need to either pay or watch minute long ads to download them. I was frustrated when I found out every icon or theme I wanted to download costed money. I understand that the app creators need a source of revenue from this app, but that doesn’t mean absolutely EVERYTHING has to be paid for. It just seems a little overboard. In the end, I recommend this app for those who are willing to receive bills every now and then for the sake of an iPhone screen aesthetic. I really did love the themes and choices, but I ended up deleting it because paying for something like widgets is just not for me.

The app is free but does not necessarily work

I tried to do what it told me to do especially in my settings but the place did not exist. And when I used shortcuts that didn’t work either. To unlock everything it says something about less than .50 cents per week for a year I think and a little over a $1.20 week every three months (I may be wrong). Which when I tried to get the premium (which I did not), it said about $25 dollars for the yearly thing and 15 dollars for every 3 months. So depending on the kind of person you are, (which I am one of) it can be mildly misleading if you can’t see the grey “billed yearly” or “billed every 3 months”. The app has a great concept and that’s pretty much only the design, but overall DO NOT BUY THESE APPS THEY'RE A WASTE OF YOUR TIME. And depending on the situation a waste of money. Edit: the apps you have also require you to either have the main apps in your App Library or in a separate folder which also adds to the inconvenience.

Mostly great app with a few cons

App is great and has a lot of themes available. I like that it sets up (most) of the icons for you. There are a few cons however. I paid for a year which was like $20 i think. I don't use it that much but they had a promo and I didn't want to keep watching ads everytime I wanted to switch it up. Most icons you need to set up yourself, which is annoying. Another thing is that even though they set up the icons for you, when you click on those apps it opens two windows. So everytime I go through the apps I have open there's like two of everything, when there's a better to way to have your desired icons open the app. I also wish they would add a search bar function for themes, otherwise you're just scrolling and scrolling until you find something you like.

Not very many icons

I may laughed at for buying the premium, but I was not going to watch ad after ad just to unlock icons of certain apps. Also what is the point with saying that it’ll be about 40 something cents a week but then charging me for a full year of a premium subscription? Kind of a waste of money in my opinion, as I found one style that I liked, downloaded it, had a few apps bookmarked then had to search on google for images to bookmark the rest of my apps. Took me hours to do just one style why should I ever do this again. I found out too late that could’ve just used all the images found on google for all of my bookmarks and could’ve gotten the same thing.

BEST Icons app... ish

Seriously... You can do it all for free and add your own sets and there are so many choices because people add their own! This is the only one i would ever spend money on. EDIT: I am noticing some drawbacks as I use this app more. - If you don’t buy premium you have to watch an ad PER ICON you download, which would make sense for the ones the app creators made and that’s fine, idc that much about ads. but... not for ones that other people have uploaded, and an ad an icon is overboard. They’re basically profiting off of other people’s work ? People give permission for them to be public, but it just doesn’t feel right still. -The app makes it super easy for you by doing the work & putting the icons as shortcuts for whichever apps you assign them. But.... There’s no way for you to have the any of images downloaded if you change your mind or want to do it yourself. You’d have to start over which is super annoying. I’m kinda stuck now because I want to use custom pictures for some of my apps but also overlay icons on the pictures so I can know what the app is, and delete the app titles below them (it feels cleaner) But I’m stuck because I have no idea how to do that now without just not using any of this theme.

Amazing, beats all the other competitors

I’ve tried themeify, an aesthetic one and brass. 💯brass is the best out of all the rest. It’s free it’s very informative and helpful, you have lots of customization options and it’s upfront by telling you what you get for watching ads and it doesn’t have them pop up every 10 seconds. You can subscribe to the app as well if you don’t want to deal with ads. Think the price is like $4 a month which is nothing 🖤 Ty for caring devs also a suggestion I’d like to make is being able to customize the backgrounds of apps instead of just colors? This way we can use photos instead of the usual labels. Making widgets couldn’t be more fun or easy

Good app but..

The way that you have to use shortcuts to remove the empty black screens is really annoying. Honestly the only thing you need brass for is it's widgets. Even then you can get them in shortcuts. But the wallpapers are amazing, probably the most high quality I can get for free. Don't waste your time by watching the ads for the aesthetic looking apps. When you can google aesthetic apps to your liking and add them to shortcuts. Plus by using shortcuts, there's no black screens whenever you click on an app. Overall, it's a really good app, for it being free. The instructions are very easy to follow, the wallpapers are high quality, and the widgets are pretty good as well. The only bad thing about it is how annoying the downloaded apps are. With the black screens and all.

This app is okay

When I read the reviews on this app the app sounded ok and so I thought u would get it. But that was a mistake. This app his horrible the only way you can get all the shortcuts to the apps is to either pay and have them for a month or two depending on how much you pay or watch a lot of videos for each shortcut. Then when you do it makes you create a profile to download all the shortcuts which is stupid because the only reason they would do that is to get information from you. And when you finally get all the shortcuts it doesn’t give you all the ones you wanted. I needed 26 and it gave me like 10 out of all the ones I needed to hitch is stupid. Overall this app i my opinion is just a scam and wants to get information from you. And it doesn’t give you all the shortcuts you want. I would highly recommend not getting this app no matter how many high reviews it has it is a scam

Customer Support is Non-Existent

I’ve had this app for a year and it worked great most of the time but recently, it’s started to go downhill. This app sometimes has problems and certain widgets (like the weather widget) have stopped working for me temporarily. Those issues were always fixed within a week or so and there was an area in the app where you could contact the team for help, but not anymore. About 6-9 weeks ago, my widgets started glitching again and my weather and calendar widgets were not centered when I put in a background image on the widget. I tried contacting the team for help again, but their contact page is just non-existent now. There is an “App Support” link on their Apple Store page too, but it just leads you to a page where it just tells you to download the app. They have updated the app a few times since I’ve started having this problem, but the problem is still there. I literally have no way to contact them either and I’m really disappointed that I might have to go looking for another app because I’m getting tired of waiting on them to fix the issue. Sorry for the long rant, but they have no customer support, so I’ve resorted to reaching out through reviews. If you want an app that won’t glitch or gets fixed regularly, don’t download this one.

So glad I found this but one problem

I’m so glad I found this app, I’ve been looking for an app that I can change the app logo and other stuff that actually lets you do it for free for sooo long. I don’t mind the ads or that I have to watch them one by one, the only problem I have is that I don’t get all the app logos downloaded, even when I’ve watched the ad for it. Example: I’d click all the new logos I’d want for my apps, then watch all the adds for them, but I won’t get the Disney+ one or any others, but I will get some. And yes I have done the manual one to but I still don’t get Disney+, calculator, or clock. Other than that one problem the app is amazing and I highly recommend.

Easy, but a bit glitchy

I had a lot of fun picking a theme for my iPhone, and it was pretty easy to use. It seems, however, that the shortcuts created automatically are somehow different from those manually created. Some of my apps don’t work when the shortcuts are created automatically, but if I download the icon (by setting it to open something like the phone or clock) and create the shortcut myself they work fine. The automatically created ones also have a bit of an annoying feature that they open first in another window then switch over. This both causes the app to take a bit longer to load and leaves many more windows to close when closing out of apps.
