Comment on Ask HN: How important is the app icon?

Comments

I was working on a developer tool which had a lot of users (~500k) where we were using a stock icon. Not until a much later release we changed the icon that was designed by a professional designer. Few of our users did complain that it didn't look great in their Mac / Linux docks! Story on mobile might be a bit different but from my perspective, unless I don't pin the icon to my dock (in which case I use the app A LOT) I generally don't seem to care about the icon as long as its decent.

EDIT: I guess this is on the cards, but you should first redesign the landing page on octopusapp.com. All the best!
