Default Is it a good idea to change the app icon?

My app has been on the store with the same icon for about a year. Is it a good idea to change the icon to a better one for the next update?

Depends on your icon, my app was top 10 for a long time then started to drop out and competitors started to come out, my app then dropped as low as 40 and at that point I decided to get a professional meaningful icon made.

After this my position went back up and I am back in the top 10 its hard to say if the icon change really helped but it seemed to certainly help.

I think there may be chances to get listed in the "New&Noteworthy" section if you com up with a version update and changing the icon. The icon should be perfect that tells about your app. Design and looks also matters. I am not pretty sure on this but can go for a try

your icon is your business card so you better have a pretty good reason to change the whole design dramatically. To polish it more and add more details that's perfectly fine.
