Sinfonia Icon Pack Pure design - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

I started working on Android in early 2017. I created a few icon packs before Sinfonia but it was still the beginning of the adventure.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

To attract new users with uncommon colors and original custom icons. Most Android users installing icon packs are men and those colors are not the obvious ones :-)

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

Bitwarden: Open source password manager. I supported the project since its Kickstarter campaign. It's a very well-known app now. Kudos to Kyle, the founder of Bitwarden.

DAVx5: Tool to synchronize various data from my Nextcloud (contacts, calendar, tasks...).

Firefox: My go-to web browser on all my devices. The Mozilla Foundation does a really good job.

Macrodroid: App to automate many things (similar to Tasker but way easier to use).

How long have you been working on this app?

I work on Sinfonia since May 2017. It's a lot of updates lol :D

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

Creating something original. Too many guys just follow Google's guidelines. It's nice to suggest different styles I think.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

Clearly the management of the icon requests. I work almost every day on my apps since 2017 to handle all icon requests. It's a lot of work but I know that my users appreciate that.

I also try to give the best support I can. I always answer questions/suggestions by email, on Telegram and Mastodon.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

I sometimes create new wallpapers and I can also work on additional bonus icons. Recently a user asked me to include folder bonus icons. They are in the app today :)

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

Of course, shares and good reviews on Google Play are always appreciated. I like reading feedback. I always answer by the way ;-) Icon packs also help me to pay the bills so premium requests/donations are most than welcome.

Thank you to all my users for their support.
