Top 10 free icon packs for Android

One of the best things about Android is that it is highly customizable. And one of the most popular ways of customizing your phone’s UI is by using icon packs.

And here is our list of the best free icon packs for Android phones and tablets.

A custom launcher app such as Nova launcher, Apex launcher or Action launcher is required to use the icon packs. Most of these icon packs support dynamic calendar icon, which displays the correct date everyday.

Pros:
