1. 4/5It's ok

   App is really useful, and much faster than using shortcuts app to make app icons. There are some things I don't like about it though. Like a lot of other reviews on here said, you have to be over 13 to actually use this, as apple sign in won't work otherwise. A sign in option other than using apple idea would be helpful. A lot of stuff isn't actually free, either, like how you have to pay for a premium service to get certain things and a lot of stuff costs money, even with premium. The main problem I have with though is when you open up an app, it first takes you to a blank page with the app's picture and name, then that takes you to the app you opened. It kind of gets annoying having to close both out and being redirected every time I open an app. Other than that though, the app is very useful for decorating you're phone, and I recommend it.

2. 1/5iPhone 13 Pro battery drained by Handy background activity

   I just had to offload the Handy app because it was working in the background constantly for hours while I was sleeping and drained my battery from 100% before I went to sleep to completely empty by the time i woke up 4-5 hours later for work. My morning alarms didn't ring because my phone was completely drained. I then went into my settings and turned the "Background App Refresh" option OFF, but it was STILL working nonstop in the background the whole time. The app was closed out completely and my settings said it was working in the background for the past 4-5 hours. My iphone battery life is at 86% and should have no problems. I got this app to buy cute widget and app icon designs from an artist, but it's been nothing but glitchy (constantly saying my session has expired so I have to open the Handy app in order for my widget to display the artist's designed widget). Also, their developer website has no way to contact them, as the email address provided doesn't even work and my email bounced back.

3. 1/5Life time premium

   So upon getting this up I realized I had to upgrade a premium to be able to access the witches, I wanted for instance the digital Pokémon. Well a proceeded to purchase the premium plan because it was discounted and it said that I could get get it for $19 and some change and I would have it for lifetime. Period so I purchased a plan thinking it’s going to be around $19 due to discount, but I soon realized that they charged me $50. I tried to message them in many ways have not heard back from them. Just to see what might’ve happened because I only purchased that one plan that was advertise for around $19. The time limit was still valid and was not expired when I purchased since I just downloaded the app the same day and only purchased within the first hour of getting the app. I actually really enjoyed what the app had to offer. But from that incident and not hearing back from anybody about what had happened it ended up making me not like the app anymore. I just could not justify having to spend $50 when it was advertised for $19. Hopefully someone will read this and get back to me. But just from my experience so far I feel like that’s likely to happen. I highly suggest being careful when you use this app because if you run into any problems, you’re more than likely, not going to get them resolved in a timely matter or at all.

4. 2/5Slightly misleading, not everything works.

   I mainly got this app for the Dynamic Island pokemon. Well they give you a timer with an offer to buy the lifetime access or you have to subscribe yearly or annually. Clearly lifetime is better, but it’s not clear if you can ever buy it again after the timer which is really scummy marketing. So of course I bought it and I as excited to install the cool pokemon stuff… only to realize my phone apparently doesn’t support the Dynamic Island despite running iOS 26. I feel like there should be a warning that the Dynamic Island may not be available on all phones. My phone is apparently one generation too old and I didn’t know apparently it’s model specific not iOS specific. A warning at the top of the description would have been extremely helpful. I went with a plain Pokédex widget instead so I could feel like I didn’t waste my money and then there’s only twenty pokemon and none of them are really ones I want. So overall my experience has been extremely disappointing. I don’t think I could find a single theme on the app that was actually free, you either pay individually or need to get the subscription for the app to get anything.

5. 1/5The pokemon island you probably saw and downloaded this for is nowhere close to free or affordable

   Waste of a download. Only garbage phone themes are free everything else requires severely overpriced subscription based service to use and the reviews saying it drains battery fast make it not even worth it. Not having a free or even single purchase option available for the one thing I’m sure most people downloaded the app for is terrible marketing on your part. And I’m pretty sure not disclosing the price for main feature you’re pushing in your ads for the app or even disclosing that it’s a PAID feature is probably false advertising, not to mention all the pop ups pushing the subscription service the second you launch the app even with the next button at one point wanting to charge you for the subscription without warning that honestly might be illegal especially if people have accidentally bought it because of that. Overall; terrible app. Not worth the time or money.
