Absurd battery drain. Over the course of 5 hours, Shadows Free used 18℅ of my battery while the screen, Android system, and play services each used up 6℅. Used to be a huge fan, but there is something very wrong with this app. Also, don't buy the paid version -- maybe just a glitch for me, but only a tiny fraction of the claimed apps were actually available.
First of all, thank you for such beautiful icons. I tried emailing about a problem I am having, but the email address from within the app. just gives me an address error. Problem: About twice a week, I get a message that the Shadow app. is using too much of my Samsung's CPU. When I click to close it, nothing bad happens. The icons and my phone both go on working like normal.
When disabled this, disturbing ads disappeared. This has been happening since last update, also was eating a lot of CPU. BUT I've discovered way to enjoy the theme and avoid ads and battery drain. Use Titanium Backup (or similar) to freeze this theme, then enable the theme in ADW Launcher :-)
DO NOT INSTALL! Adware pop ups all over your phone. This developer should be ashamed of themselves for creating a bad experience for the end users. Ads are a way to make money, but allowing them to draw over my other apps and interrupt my daily flow, is a sure fire way to get your app uninstalled quickly.
This icon pack was fine I liked the design and used it for daily use. But then one day after an update I kept getting constant ads coming on my home screen. Took forever to figure out that it was this app. I had to uninstall.
I'm running Nougat on my Nexus 6P. This app contains some really great artwork but has seriously drained my battery. It consistently uses at least twice the percentage of any other app...and I'm not even using this particular icon pack at the moment! Would be 5 stars but for the above.
After last update, it's just don't allow to do anything smoothly. Ads keep coming in between your work. I don't want to uninstall it as I am addicted to it from long. So if you help to fix the issue that will be great.
I absolutely love the artwork used to create these icons, but the free version contains a VERY aggressive ad program. Prior to uninstalling this, as of 10/31/16 I had banner/full-page ads showing up any-and-everywhere on my phone. Desktop, browser, games, settings. Additionally, the ads are ridiculously persistent (avg 1 every 2 min)
Started getting banner ads across my home screens and even my apps. Traced it back to this one. In order to "opt out" you can either d/l an app or give them your EMI & Phone Info. Might as well wrap it up with a nice bow and mail it to them. What a Shame!! It really is beautiful.
Although I liked the icons and had used them for quite awhile, recently I started getting ads popping up on my home screen, settings page, and anywhere else. Looked at battery stats and this icon pack had caused 54% battery use while sleeping. Uninstalled for good.
Have been using for years but recently this started eating my battery more than anything else and serving up frequent and extremely intrusive ads. Absolutely no reason for this from an icon pack.
This is my favorite, very pleasant looking on the screen. However it kept forcing a close because it was overloading the cpu(or something to that effect, not sure if the exact verbiage) I sadly had to uninstall.
This used to be good. Had it for almost a year on my phone, no problems. With the last update, ads starting popping up on my home screen. Took a factory reset until I finally figured out it was this. Big battery drain as it constantly runs in the background, mining your data. I suspect any 5 star reviews from the last month or so are from the dev trying to pad the ratings. Do NOT download.
I had been using this theme for years without any problems. However, I recently began getting intrusive pop-up ads on my home screen, which were traced back to this app.
My phone was okay before, now it overheats and consumes too much battery power
Even if you paid for it, you will gey annoying amount of ads :(
Same as others here. Since the latest update this uses an insane amount of battery power. Uninstaller until solved.
Love the icons. But had to unwillingly uninstall due to Ads. Single star is for having no option to even buy an ad-free version. Very sad.
App presents an orange "eye" hovering icon on the screen that if pressed will load ads. Also will randomly load ads as well. Don't download.
But unfortunately half the icons aren't centered so they're cut off. - Honor 8
Downloaded this theme for just the icons but holy cow, it's draining my battery something awful. But I love the icons. I think I'll have to look for another icon set. :(
I love how it takes min storage for these icons plus there not to flashy perfect for 80's old school people like me
Was great until the update, now it uses way too much battery probably because it is putting up constant ads on the Home screen making the phone almost unusable. I love the look and would be willing to get the payed version but i can't be doing with those ads! The ads are not mentioned in the paid versions description so I am not willing to risk paying for it! Dev please update us with this info?
The following pages that are available for the best way to go to the next year y. I have a lot more than a few of the best.
I really like the icon pack. The icons look 3D, but are not overstated. Unfortunately, it was a drain on my battery so I uninstalled it.
I've used this app for almost a year and really liked it. The recent update however now has it using almost 40% of my total battery. My phone is always hot and can't keep a charge for most the day. If it's going to render my phone almost useless I can't use this. Please fix! Uninstalling until battery use changes, too bad I can't go back to the old version.
