Agree with the other commenter. Change out that icon ASAP. I definitely wouldn't click on that if I hadn't seen this on HN. The existing is actually blurry on retina/hidpi screens.

Personally (given the name of the tool) I recommend something turtle themed.

Since the App Store shows icons at a large size, it's blurry on non-retina screens too:

Seeing that icon, I would assume the quality of app I'm getting is not the quality I expect for $30.

Per Apple's documentation, you need icon sizes up to 1024x1024. This represents a 512x512 size at 2x DPI.

At the very least for the short term you could hire someone at an online freelancing site to trace the existing icon into vectors and make larger versions of it.
