What makes us different to other home screen shortcut apps?

Most apps need to send the information for your icon to their servers to generate. Iconical works 100% on your device.
Some apps state that your icons will stop working if you delete their app. Not with Iconical. Everything needed by your icon is embedded within the icon itself (Unless you are using locked icons).

Pros and cons of Iconical app for iPhone and iPad

Iconical app good for

Effectiveness hinges on other apps accommodating it --hope it gains traction.
I had a handful of website shortcuts on my homepage. The icons looked terrible. Downloaded Iconical. In just a few minutes I had replaced them with great looking icons. Very nice app. Well done!
This is one of the rare apps that does exactly what it says its going to do. And that alone makes it really awesome. Give it a try, youll be glad you did!!
Love this app, the only complaint I have is to have more supported apps that a majority of ply would use. Ex:Kik, SC, etc

Some bad moments

I bought this app thinking it could change ANY icon, but it does not recognize web apps (Safari shortcuts saved to the home screen). Those are the apps that need customization!
What Darren Jones, the developer, forgets to tell you in the details is that it is not actually changing the app icon. It is creating a safari bookmark and pointing to the app location. WARNING: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
This app appears to solve all your problems but what they forget to tell you are a few important details: 1- this app dose not change your current icons - it creates new ones that are attached to external browser links. 2 - like I said in #1, these new icons are external links that sling shot you to the app. 3 - you are very limited with how ur app opens and there is no app memory of your last visited location. Dont waist ur time creating new icons like I did!
Its just a waste of money. Cocappa is way better. I would suggest that you should not buy the app.
App doesnt replace icons on your home screen. It just adds your custom icons to it. So you got a lot of garbage on your screen. Not good.
It just creates a shortcut of the app So now you get to have two of the same app!
