THERE IS NOTHING ELSE LIKE THIS, which is shocking. It does one thing and it does it beautifully — lets you have medium, big and (obviously) gigantic icons on your home screen, so it doesn't look like a boring wall of pics like some low-down iPhone user. I have Android 10, Samsung XCover Pro, and I use Nova Launcher (if that helps anyone) — and this works a treat. Developer is friendly and responsive, too. It's not obvious (to dunderheads like me) how to choose an different icon if you don't like the default for an app, and he kindly showed me how. And now I've written more than 100 words, which Google tells me makes this review more helpful. You're welcome.

Purchased yesterday and sent the developer , Gabe, an email about poor experience installing modern day app icons with processing errors. His response 😄 "Thanks for trying out Giganticon, and I apologize that it's currently broken. I am in the process of fixing it, but it turns out that a lot needs fixing. I've refunded your order so that you don't have to wait. Update....apps works now, after update by developer, with all apps icons. Good job Gabe😀

Exactly what I wanted...almost. It magnified the clock icon but didn't change to show the time passing like the small clock icon. Oh well :(

I would give this app 5 stars... however, some apps get applied with a square white background (chrome, play music, gmail, etc.) instead of the icons themselves with transparent backgrounds like pictured. I was able to get around this by installing icon packs, but still more effort than I would have liked.

About this app

Do you crave bigger icons on your home screen? Are your icons too small to see or touch? Giganticon allows you to personalize your home screen with big huge gigantic giant icons for any app you like.

Just add the Giganticon widget to your home screen and choose your app. You can resize the icon to be tiny, gigantic, or anything in between. Icons for apps available on Google Play will even be in HD!

Giganticon is optimized for phones and tablets running any version of Android.

You can have up to two icons totally free, and then the app will ask you to upgrade. However, there is a secret way to unlock a third free icon. See if you can find it!

For apps that aren't on the play store, Giganticon allows you to substitute any image from your device.

Giganticon is great for kids to make the homescreen simpler, and great at increasing accessibility for people who have poor vision or trouble touching small icons. Kids and grand parents will rejoice! Giganticon supports TalkBack for those who have it enabled.

Special Features for New Versions of Android!
- Giganticon also supports Android 4.2's Lock Screen widget functionality. Access your favorite app straight from your lock screen! (See screenshot)
- A special Giganticon Daydream which allows bouncing icons around your screen while your tablet is idle.

New features

This Release:
1. Fix a bug where Giganticon wouldn't recognize when users had already purchased it.

Previous Release:
1. Add support for pulling the local icon from apps that use Adaptive Icons. This was preventing Giganticon from falling back to local icons.
2. Fix parsing of the Play Store HTML. This was preventing Giganticon from acquiring high res icons.
3. Switch to new in-app billing library.
4. Set target SDK appropriately.
5. Properly request storage permission to store large icons.
