The Edit loads smoother, signing in is more secure, and payment and notification flows are steadier under weak connections. Everything now lives at shotxicon.com, one home for booking, galleries and your photos.

Booking is one tap now. The home screen opens on a card with today's price, so you can call an ICON without hunting for it. Discover is now The Edit, your place for stories, offers and new ways to use ICON. Profiles are cleaner, placement is fairer so more of your local ICONs get seen, and the prices and delivery times we show are the ones you get.

Discover just got a whole lot better. Your feed now weaves live drops, featured moments, and real stories into one endless scroll, so there is always something new to see. Edit and enhance your photos right in the app with ICON Studio, tip your ICON up to five days after a shoot, and long-press any photo to hide it from your galleries. We also added a peak-pricing heads up before you book, a swipe-through photo viewer, and made nearby photographers and search load faster and cleaner. Open the app, call an ICON, and get your moments back fast.

Booking an ICON just got easier. The order screen now fills in your location automatically, walks you to each step as you go, and shows you exactly what is left before you can send your request. We also dropped the essay: pick your shoot type and go. Everything is a little brighter and easier to read at night too. Open the app, call an ICON, and get your moments back fast.

Your photos are made to be shared. A new Share button on every photo opens your share sheet with a Shot by ICON touch, and downloads can carry a clean watermark you can switch off anytime in Preferences. Signing up is smoother too: the birthday picker now works right on every phone, and if your birthday ever saved wrong you can fix it yourself in Edit Profile. Push alerts got a real home as well. Tap any ICON announcement and it opens your new Notifications inbox, where the full message is waiting so you never lose it. Open the app, call an ICON, and get your moments back fast.

Loved your shoot? Now you can tip your ICON right from the app. Pick an amount after your photos arrive and every dollar goes straight to your photographer. ICON takes no cut. Your photographers can also leave you a personal note with your delivered photos now, so keep an eye out for a little message riding along with your gallery.

We fixed a sneaky bug where opening the app from a notification could sign you out for no reason. You stay signed in now, the way it should have always been. Small update, smoother ICON.
1.24 Jul 11
Your shoots screen got smarter. Once you leave a review, the app remembers, so you will only be asked once. Saving a favorite photo to your mood board now works right from the full screen view. Times throughout the app now read the way you actually say them, like 7:30 PM instead of 19:30. We also cleared out some old buttons that no longer belonged and smoothed out sign up. Small stuff, but it all adds up to a cleaner ICON.
1.23 Jul 10
This update is all about your photos. You can now save and favorite the shots you love straight from the full photo view, so building your collection is quick and easy. Shoot times now show in a clean, familiar format so your schedule is easier to read at a glance. We also tightened up a few things behind the scenes to keep everything running smooth. As always, open the app, call an ICON, and get your moments back fast. Toledo, Monroe, and Detroit, we see you.

ICON is growing, and this update helps us grow to you. The app now does a better job of knowing your area, so when you tell us you want ICON where you live, we actually hear you. If you're outside our current cities, joining the waitlist is smoother and more reliable, and you'll be first to know the moment a photographer can pull up to you. Booking in our open cities stays easy: open the app, request an ICON, and get your photos back before the moment fades.
1.21 Jul 7
Notifications now take you exactly where they should. Tap a push about your photos and you land right in your gallery, tap one about a shoot and you're looking at that shoot. We also made things friendlier when you try to book outside our current cities, and we cleaned up plenty of small stuff under the hood. ICON is live in Toledo, Monroe, and Detroit, with more cities on the way.

Smoother bookings, faster photos:
• Pay your way. Choose Credits or Card when you book, and your choice is always honored.
• Clearer waiting. While we find your ICON, you always know exactly where things stand, and your credits are always protected.
• Tap straight in. Notifications and emails now open right to your shoot.
• Photo downloads that just work, plus a little celebration when your gallery lands.
• Honest reviews. Both sides rate independently, and reviews unlock together.

We made getting your photos feel like a moment. Now when your shoot's ready, you'll get a full-screen heads-up and an email — so you're never left wondering when your gallery's coming. Saving your photos is smooth and reliable now, no more download hiccups. And checkout's clearer than ever: you decide how you pay, card or credits, with no surprises. Faster, cleaner, and built to feel good. Update and book your next one.
1.1 Jul 2
Clearer shoots, smoother checkout.
We made it easier to follow your photos from start to finish. Your Shoots tab now shows exactly where things stand — waiting on your photographer,
on the way, or ready to view — and you can preview shots as they arrive, before the full gallery is even done.
Checkout is smoother too: stepping out of the payment screen no longer cancels your booking, and you can jump right back in to finish paying. We
also cleaned up the updates you see if a shoot is cancelled, declined, or times out so you always know what's happening.
1.07 Jun 28
Invite friends — you both win. Share your personal invite link and your friend gets $10 off their first shoot. Refer a few who book, and your next one's on us.
A simpler way to get set up. A clean new checklist shows exactly what's left on your profile so you're ready to book in seconds — just a clear photo of you (so your photographer knows who they're meeting), your name, phone, and birthday.
Smoother sign-in. Signing back in and switching accounts is faster and more reliable.
Polish throughout for an all-around smoother experience.
