    I appreciate the minimalistic design but for the price i really hoped that more icons were included. Example: There is just one icon for stocks, imagine if someone has 3 different stock accounts and 1 for crypto, would be great to modify them a bit or maybe put a small number to indicate which one is what. Also would be great if there was icons for apps that people use as hobbies for example movies (Cinema), Clothing app, Sports etc.

    I may be doing something wrong too, but the Clear Gradient icons are not picking up the chosen icon color. I'm using the correct icons as I've tried this several times. I'm running iOS 17.4.1 so maybe that has something to do with it. The shortcut interface on my phone is completely different than what is shown in the video.

      it’s definitely annoying but if you have the 14 pro or PM, it’s more tolerable as the notification merges with the dynamic island instead of dropping down. so instead of a drop down, you just get a check in the dynamic island.

    Hello! Quick question: After icons are set up on my home screen, how can I make it so I can see if there is a notification? For example my emails. I have an icon made, however if it wasn't for my lock screen notifying me, I would never know I have anything new pop up when my phone is opened. Or at Least remind me. Love these by the way. Definitely changed the feel and experience of my phone!

      Thanks my friend - glad you like them! Unfortunately - shortcut icons / bookmarks don’t offer notifications - so if you would want those, you would have to stick to native options.

      Sorry to hear that - it’s long been the case that adding icons to an iOS / apple device is done like this. I’ve just added lots of options for people to do in this - but the simple version: just add icons and a cover!

      I’m selling the icons / covers / widgets as a pack for iOS or iOS and Notion yes, the rest is spending the time doing the process or customising ! But, if you don’t want to purchase: I recommend using sites like icon finder to find other icons to do this with: they won’t necessarily be as cohesive, but similar effect. :)

    Hi, just purchased the pack, and i was just wondering now with these new added shortcuts for the app replacements do you not get the little notifications up in the corner of the app to say for example 1 message or 2 instagram notifications?

    • @BetterCreating
      @BetterCreating  Год назад +2

      Ah - thank you for downloading. Yes - this has always been the case with iOS bookmarks for icons. There are various solutions to blocking the pop up - but the latest iOS updates seem to mean many don’t work anymore. If you have an iPhone / device with dynamic island there is a new way to do it I believe. But at present - I need to do some research to find a solution :)

      Hi Brandon, I've tried to be as clear as possible - and think this video is pretty clear on the nature of customising on iPad. I also share a disclaimer and this video on my website to make it clear what is involved. I think whether this is worthwhile is very much a matter of perspective, and respect that for you it is not. You are welcome to email me via the receipt email and I will refund you - but I do believe I share significant details that this process involves the use of the shortcuts app to do. Hope to hear from you soon. Very best wishes, Simon

For a 3 years I have had a hope that they will get rid of the notch and hide everything under the screen (I know it might sound silly, but I’ve had a trust in their engineer team, thought that one day they will make some work around to “notch-problem”)
      Dynamic island is some kind of work around and upgrade compare to older models, and I think my dream won’t come true yet, because they will keep pushing this new technology of Dynamic Island for a couple of years in their devices. So I consider to purchase 14 Pro.

      Thanks - and I understand. Whilst you can get many icon packs for $5 or $10 - We believe we are offing something more & great value for the design and thought out into these - purchasers are feeding the same back to us. With the full pack you get 20 folder variations of the icons, 6 themed & customisable widgets, all wallpapers in light and dark mode for iPhone, iPad and Notion. I think there are very few packs that offer this level of coherence across the designs. Here’s a customers feedback:
      “the IOS, iPadOS and Notion design bundle is stunning.
      Just from a visual element it also adds a premium feel and also adds a bit of freshness to my 2 year old iPad Pro which is always a bonus.
      Simon’s minimalist approach always resonates with my own preferences and this is no different. Excellent value for the work and thought that has gone into the product as expected” Rob, Flow Working
