Oddly designed – 1Touch - Customize your Home Screen with powerful shortcut icons Review

Supports shortcuts for phone calls, text messages, email addresses, web addresses, Skype calls and messaging (if installed), Google maps, Yelp! searches, YouTube searches (artist, song or album), and custom URLs. Persumably other applications that could be started with a parameter could also have shortcuts created for them (I tested my iPhone with and without Skype installed and the application recognized it). The icon editor is funky - clearly designed by an inexperienced UI design/development team - the application would benefit from a wizard/workflow approach to the UI experience, such that the user would be moved through the icon design process in a step-by-step manner, so that they would understand what needed to be done and the order in which it was relevant. Help is extremely limited - you basically have to try everything to figure out how to use it. Fortunately, there are not tons of features, so trying everything isn't overwhelming. Additionally, the application icon looks like a funky joystick (in the small) and like a panda being stabbed between the eyes (in the large)... for an application that is meant to design icons, I would have thought that the application would have a significantly better icon for itself... (this does not instill a lot of confidence in me regarding their professionalism)... I will uninstall the application after submitting this review because ultimately it does not provide for my use case. It would be interesting if they could add a feature to play a sound, ringtone, or song stored on the device from an icon.
