### 3/5 — Darling, want more!

*2019-09-25*

These are such sweet stickers, but I thought there would be many more in this package.

### 1/5 — It’s ok but

*2019-07-18*

It’s good stickers but it’s just 11 of them that is a ripoff. I’m soo upsetting.

**Developer response:** That number is incorrect. This app has 16 stickers, all of them animated. We suggest to update your app to its Version 3.0, we added five new animated stickers in that version and we will keep adding more.

### 1/5 — Not enough stickers

*2019-03-24*

I paid 99 cents for 11 stickers. Just 11. It’s a total rip off

**Developer response:** Thanks for buying our sticker app and for sharing your review. We're working on more stickers as I write this reply we will be adding them on our next update.
EDIT (Mar 26): We have updated this app to its Version 3.0. We have added five more animated stickers. There are 16 stickers (all animated) in total.
