Your icon competes with millions of apps

In the App Store and Play Store, your icon is often the only thing users see before deciding to tap or scroll past. It's a split-second decision that determines whether you get a chance to show off your app.

A/B testing app icons requires real traffic, App Store Connect experiments take weeks, and by the time you have data, you've already lost potential downloads to a suboptimal icon.

What if you could test app icons before you publish — and know which one wins?

Frequently asked questions

What size should my app icons be?

Upload icons at 1024x1024 pixels for best quality. We'll display them at appropriate sizes for comparison. You can also upload App Store mockups if you want to test in context.

Should I test icons alone or in store mockups?

We recommend testing both. Icons alone show raw preference, while store mockups show how your icon competes for attention among other apps.

How is this different from App Store A/B testing?

App Store experiments require live traffic and weeks of data. TractionWay gives you results in 4 hours, before you publish — so you launch with your best icon from day one.

Can I test icons for games vs. productivity apps differently?

Yes! You can specify your app category and target audience when creating your poll, so feedback comes from relevant users.

What feedback will I get?

Respondents share which icon they'd tap, what each icon communicates about the app, how professional/trustworthy it looks, and detailed explanations for their choices.

How much does app icon testing cost?

App icon testing starts at $29 for 25 real human responses, each with written feedback. Our Validate plan at $49 includes AI analysis to identify patterns in user preferences.
