Is The Ick available on the Apple App Store?

No. As of November 2026 there is no official The Ick app on the iOS App Store. The Ick's own site tells iPhone users to open the web app in Safari and add it to the home screen. The native app is Android-only, on Google Play.

How do iPhone users use The Ick then?

Through the browser. You open theick.io in Safari and, if you want an app-like icon, add the page to your home screen. It runs as a web app, so there is no App Store download, no App Store reviews to vet it, and notifications work differently from a native app.

Does The Ick have an Android app?

Yes. The Ick has a native Android app on Google Play. The gap is only on iPhone, where it is web-only.

Is there a recent-follow tracker with a real iOS app?

Yes. Klupt has a native iOS app on the App Store (“Klupt: Katch the ick”) as well as a web tool at klupt.io, so you can check a public profile's recent follows on iPhone either way, newest first.

Is The Ick on the App Store? Why There's No iOS App (2026)

No. As of November 2026, The Ick has no app on the Apple App Store. If you searched the App Store for "The Ick" and found nothing, that's expected — there isn't an official iOS app to find. On its own website, The Ick tells iPhone users to use the web app in Safari: "iPhone users use the web app in Safari and can add it to the home screen. There is currently no official App Store app." The native app is Android-only, on Google Play.

If you just want to see who someone recently followed on iPhone right now, you can do that in any browser — more on that below. But here's the full picture on The Ick's availability.

What iPhone users actually get with The Ick

On iPhone, The Ick is a web app, not a native App Store app. You open theick.io in Safari, and you can "Add to Home Screen" to get an icon that looks like an app. That's a legitimate way to ship a tool, but it comes with trade-offs worth knowing:

No App Store listing, which also means no App Store rating or reviews you can read before trusting it.
No native app — it runs inside the browser, so background behaviour and notifications aren't the same as a real iOS app.
You're relying on the website staying up and current, with no app-update trail.

None of that makes The Ick a bad tool — it simply means, on iPhone, you're using a website, not an app.

Is The Ick on Android?

Yes. The Ick has a genuine native Android app on Google Play. The App Store gap is specific to iPhone; Android users get the full app experience.

Why the App Store matters for a tracker

For a tool that reads Instagram data, an App Store listing is a small but real trust signal: Apple reviews the app, there's a visible developer, a version history, and public ratings. A web-only tool skips all of that. It's not disqualifying — plenty of good tools are web apps — but if you specifically wanted an iPhone app you could download and vet, The Ick doesn't currently offer one.

The alternative: a recent-follow tracker that does have an iOS app

If you're on iPhone and want recent-follow tracking, Klupt covers both bases:

A native iOS app on the App Store — "Klupt: Katch the ick" — so you get a real download, a listing, and updates.
A web tool at klupt.io if you'd rather not install anything: enter a public username and see the accounts they followed most recently, newest first, split into girls and guys. No Instagram login, and the person is never notified.

Klupt also still shows recent follows in real newest-first order after Instagram's September 2026 update, which changed how Following lists are served and left many trackers showing a shuffled list. If you're weighing the two tools directly, we keep an up-to-date The Ick vs Klupt comparison.

The bottom line

The Ick isn't on the iOS App Store — on iPhone it's a Safari web app, with the native app reserved for Android. If that's fine for you, the web app works. If you wanted an actual iPhone app you can download and check recent follows with, Klupt has one, plus a no-install web tracker that works in any browser.
