Hello everyone,
I’m quite new to app development, and I’m currently working on an Android app using App Inventor/Kodular.
I’m looking for some advice regarding icons and fonts for commercial apps. I want to make sure that the resources I use are properly licensed and compatible with Google Play policies.
At the moment, I’m using Google Material Icons and Google Fonts, but they are somewhat limited for the type of UI/design I’m trying to create.
I recently came across websites such as UXWing, which provide SVG/PNG icons, but as a beginner I’m not completely sure how to evaluate the licenses and whether the resources are safe for use in a commercial/monetized Android app.
So I would like to ask experienced developers:
Which websites do you personally use for icons and fonts that are suitable for commercial Android apps and have clear, developer-friendly licenses?
I’m particularly interested in resources that allow:
Commercial use
Use in Android apps published on Google Play
Modification/customization
SVG/PNG icons
Fonts that can be embedded in an app
No attribution, if the license allows it
Clear and easy-to-understand licensing terms
Also, if there are any websites/resources that you recommend avoiding because their licensing is unclear, please mention them as well.
I’m trying to be extra careful because I’m still new to this and I want to follow copyright and Google Play requirements correctly from the beginning.
What websites/resources have you been using successfully for your own apps?
Thank you for your advice!
The best websites for copyright-safe icons and fonts in commercial apps include Google Fonts for open-source typography and The Noun Project for clearly licensed commercial icons.

But it doesn't have many options, and you can't experiment, you have to think outside the box to make the app more advanced, I need more options for this.
you can try to make them by yourself.
