Adds were kind of annoying but overall good ### 3/5 — Good app but lots of ads *2018-07-23, version 2.0.5* This app is super awesome with great fonts and characters symbols but you get interrupted with multiple ads each time you come on the app. ### 5/5 — Very good *2018-07-10, version 2.0.5* This is very good it helped me a lot with making a new bio on instagram and a new caption. it took me a while to be able to create the perfect caption but that’s because instagram sometimes doesn’t let me “return” down but i managed to make it work. It took me a long time to find an app with all of the free symbols and when i saw that this worked i was so happy! i rated this 5 stars! 😄👍 ### 2/5 — The app *2018-06-29, version 2.0.5* So I downloaded the upgrade if the character app and now that I switched phones it no longer exist and I paid for the app. What am I supposed to do now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The app isn’t working *2020-07-25, version 2.0.6* I press the things to go to the texts and emojis but it won’t let me get on them at all ### 1/5 — horrible... *2020-05-18, version 2.0.6* Je regrette tellement de l’avoir installé! Je suis incapable d’utiliser le clavier de base de l’iPhone. Je ne peux pas non plus faire une désinstallation. C’est horrible. Si vous avez des trucs pour moi, ce serait très apprécié. 🪐 ### 1/5 — Pls help *2020-03-24, version 2.0.5* HOW DO YOU COPY IT ON TO ROBLOX? Help is needed pls ### 1/5 — do not recommend. 1/5 *2020-02-28, version 2.0.5* the first thing it showed me when i downloaded this app was an ad. it was really annoying. then, when i wanted to type something, the airdrop thing came up and i wasn't done so i tried to click the x at the top. the airdrop box didn't go away. then, it started glitching out and you could see the letters pop up as if you were typing on the keyboard but the airdrop thing was still there. sorry if that's confusing, but i do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Ads and outdated. *2019-12-22, version 2.0.5* You can get the same with other apps for free with less ads and actually fills the whole modern screen. ### 1/5 — ? *2019-11-11, version 2.0.5* I have tried so many times but I don’t get how to get other Characters it only gives me like 10 and they are all boring! ### 1/5 — Descusted *2019-07-07, version 2.0.5* When I opened the app for the first time it came up with an advertisement 😡 then it was really laggy and wouldn’t work well 😡 NEVER GET THIS APP ### 1/5 — Crap app with annoying adverts *2018-06-16, version 2.0.5* You literally have to close down the full screen adverts after every single action. It is annoying and slows you down when you really just want to grab a symbol to insert into your Word document. Waste of time! ### 1/5 — To many ads not a real keyboard app *2017-11-12, version 2.0.5* There’s too many ads to be useful and also it’s a separate browser app meaning you can’t add it to your keyboards por easy use in other app it just opens a browser within the app to look and copy symbols useless. ### 1/5 — Constant ads ... DELETED *2017-10-08, version 2.0.5* How do you guys figure you'll retain users while inundating your app with ads? You lost me. See ya. Better luck with your next app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Buena *2021-12-26, version 2.0.6* Es buenísima me encanto ### 5/5 — It works perfectly *2021-07-31, version 2.0.6* Overall this is very helpful and easy, but I must say a few things. You are meant to write your words/symbols and then copy. Then go to messages/bio, whatever your using it for and then paste. :)) ### 5/5 — Haven’t used yet *2020-08-10, version 2.0.6* I haven’t used this yet but imma say one thing, I’m not annoyed by ads and it will probably be a good app for me to use :3 ### 5/5 — ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! *2020-02-23, version 2.0.5* i have been wanting the aesthetics for my instagram and pinterest! and i have it! they are so cute!! there are no ads and in all just a very good app! definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-01-12, version 2.0.5* I’ve used it for years and there are tons of unique symbols to use. I’m glad it hasn’t changed at all and I like the simple, easy to use layout. I don’t mind the ads at all because it’s worth it. ### 5/5 — Funny *2019-05-08, version 2.0.5* 😂😂😂 The Messages app says “Tim Cook” 😂😂😂 ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2019-04-15, version 2.0.5* This is my opinion so don’t act mean about it this app is really good for me it does not crash 1. Type out the things you want 2. Copy it 3. Paste it 4.There you go! :D ### 5/5 — it’s hella good *2019-04-06, version 2.0.5* i love this app. i don’t know why people complain. i don’t get any adds am i supposed to? there’s adds on the top and bottom but they don’t interrupt me in anyway and i don’t notice them majority of the time. all you do is copy and paste the character of you’re choice. it annoys me that the letters are in alphabetical order and not like a normal keyboard but that’s fine. also can there be backwards letters please not just upside down ### 5/5 — Wow *2019-01-10, version 2.0.5* I like it alot♥️ ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-08-09, version 2.0.5* This app is awesome! Even though I do wish it was a keyboard option it’s still a lot of fun! I’ve been searching everywhere to find a black and white heart and this app had it.
