Sick of your iPhone’s icons? Iconical enables you to roll your own – to a degree.

How do you feel about those new iOS 7 icons, then? Do you hate them? Do you think they resemble the sort of unnatural boiled sweets that, playground rumours insist, give you cancer? Do you wish you could get rid of them and make your own?

You may be in luck. Iconical’s a crafty little app that, to an extent, enables you to create new app icons. That 'to an extent' bit’s important, since you’re only likely to be able to create new icons for a small proportion of your apps.

Mail, Maps, Messages, Phone and Safari are all supported within Iconical, and if you visit this page you’ll find the special shortcuts you need to create icons for iTunes, App Store, Calendar, Music and other default apps. There’s also support for a number of third-party apps, particularly the bigger-name ones.
