Review summary

I love organization and color. This app combines both. It has so many folder colors it's a bit overwhelming in the best way possible. It really should be a standard MS feature and come installed with... See more

Fun & Efficient To Use

I was running an old version which operated quite differently to this new one. But once I played around & figured it all out, it's just as great as the old version was. I'm thrilled I'm able to assign any picture I want to any folder. It makes it all much easier for me to find what I'm looking for without serious eye strain. And since most of my folders are viewed as large/extra lge icons, folder icons is the only way to go.

Super easy to use interface with lots of options

I've been online looking for a way to change folder color in windows 11 for about an hour and everything is either too difficult or colors are limited to maybe 10 selections. The ease of use and wide variety of colors in folderico is fantastic! The only improvement they could make is to let you add in your own HEX values.

This software used to be good but now…

This software used to be good but now the interface is more clunky and harder to get easy tasks done. The license I used to have was perpetual but was revoked and I must pay a yearly subscription now. This is horrible software and I will be looking for alternatives.

Making my custom icons

Making my own custom icons helps me find what I need to find and customize it exactly how I want it. More personalization never hurt anyone!
