Devs - Update your app icons please!!

[stevearm]

I find it amazing how most of the apps that have new updates in the last few weeks carry on with the ugly low-quality icons on the iPhone 4. Does it really take that long to create a new icon file for upload along with your update?

Come on devs, give us high quality app icons asap please 🙂

I'm doing it when I have an upgrade ready for an app (not only the icon I add also the hi-res graphics elements).

But I'm not releasing an upgrade just to update the icon ! 🙂

I'm curious about this too. Two apps I use were updated yesterday to multitask with 4.0 and both kept the same older icons. Not sure why that would be. 😕

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I wish they'd update the icon with the rest of the upgrade for the app.

I think something worth remembering is that most app devs are just that, developers. Most won't know how to make their own icons, and they'll be using outside companys/individuals for their art. I would assume it's not just a five minute job.

Like I say, something to remember.

On the flip side, you need to submit a 512x512 pixel version of the icon into iTunes Connect anyway… in a pinch, reducing that to 114x114 should work.

That's exactly what I'm doing O.O

How come archetype app icon looks super beautiful even when onthe iPad?
I mean. Isn't it suppose to be the same resolution as those for the iPhone 4?
Compare to my app, archetype looks Ike an iPad app. Mine is still a little blurry.
