iconStiX (V2.2) is a great big pleasant surprise. It seems like everything I attempt to do—works …and works well.

It's easy to use, not hard to figure out, (although a few features aren't as intuitive as they might be) and has plenty of output options.

I've tried several similar apps but I'm gonna stick with this one. Easily worth $8.99 any day.

What most impressed me about this 'greater-than-great-app' ...

is the enthusiastic double posting by 'some people' giving it 5 ★★★★★‘s

Really, really, great boyz. ✓

I don't see your problem: If you think that iconStiX is not worth five stars, then make your own rating and tell us your reasons. By the way, there's just ONE double posting. Really, really great, Wolfeatsworld!

I've just read a ton of your reviews there, Morannon.

You really are quite 'emotional' - aren't you?

You have a great weekend now, Morannon. ;-)

Still the best in it's class for what it does, with a clean UI and loads of options.

For many years, I've been using Viou for creating my folder icons. Viou did, what I wanted, but I didn't like it because its user interface was complicated and barely intuitional. iconStiX does everything Viou did, but in a more convenient way. Furthermore, iconStiX supports the large icons in MacOS X Snow Leopard (512px x 512px), and you can label your folders with your own text. iconStiX is great, and I recommend it to everyone.

This is a heaven sent. I used to use the program Viou for creating custom folder icons, but it ceased to properly function in 10.6, and even after many e-mails to the author, he has not really done anything to fix it.

IconStiX is clean, loaded with features, and best of all, 64 bit native. More people deserve to find this program and use it.
