Most of the features except the application icon can be changed through the system, including the splash screen of the app, All settings will update automatically when you close and open the app.
To get the APK file please follow these steps:
- Enter your app dashboard and go to “Edit Application Details”, and check your icon and splash screen. (the screen that loads when you start the app).
