### 4/5 — Neat app but…

*2024-01-08*

I think it’d be nice if you made an option for it to always be on your “custom keyboard” by default. And for us to be able to enter layered(?) kaomojis. For example I can’t add this
 ᘏ ⑅ ᘏ   ഒ    zᶻ
꒰˶  - ˕ -꒱ ⌒)ᦱ
•*¨*•.¸¸♪✧•*¨*•.¸¸♪✧•*¨*•.¸¸♪✧
 it will look like~
 ᘏ ⑅ ᘏ   ഒ    zᶻ ꒰˶  - ˕ -꒱ ⌒)ᦱ
.｡.:*☆♡*.+.｡.:*☆♡*.+.｡.:*☆♡*.+
I hope that makes sense! Overall I love the app and would be willing to pay for full version if these were accommodated, keep up the gud work!(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ (ps, the sparkles r just borders)

### 5/5 — (⌐■-■)👍

*2023-05-07*

This app is the best! I highly reccomend this app! ( •́▽•̀)

### 4/5 — This app got me laid

*2022-07-29*

I love this app, worth the price and very helpful for sending silly emoticons on mobile. Here’s some things I would love to see added in the future: 

1. The current IOS space bar, you know the one that lets you scroll through text when you hold it. That would be amazing on dongers keyboard!

2. Folders, instead of just one menu for custom stuff, I’d love to see the ability to create more custom folders for stuff. On my pc, I have an autohotkey setup with different folders based on emotion.

3. More unicode characters and better organization for creating custom emotes. There are alot right now but you are missing some, and it’s a little weird that noses and mouths are kinda combined.

4. This is just a little bug I noticed. I paid for the upgrade, but the upgrade menu is still there and still tells me I’m limited to 5 emotes. I can add an unlimited amount of emoticons, but can also still buy the upgrade. Restoring the purchase doesn’t seem to change anything.

### 2/5 — Gute

*2021-02-22*

Gute

### 5/5 — It’s really good! シ ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

*2020-10-26*

I love the game! And I like how there was instructions bc I did’t know how to do it at first some times it puts it in tags idk why but that was in different game so ty for makeing this game! 𒊹︎ᴥ︎𒊹︎ ꧁ ꧂

### 5/5 — ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

*2020-06-22*

Okay ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

### 4/5 — App is super fun BUT... ╮(￣▽￣)╭

*2020-03-10*

App is super fun and easy to use, and I adore the custom emoticons category BUT it would be MORE amazing if we could make and rename different custom categories for our emoticons, as well as add to or delete the preexisting categories. Would love to talk to developer about implementing these features, which would make it easier to organize and access the emoticons and make full use of the app’s potential. Otherwise it’s the best emoticon keyboard available.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2019-03-31*

This app works perfectly! You can use it in texts and diary notes. It’s everything you could ever imagine. It has tones of already-made memes that you can use or you can make your own! All of the faces that you can make or that are pre-made are the most beautiful faces ever! If you want to troll or just express yourself in any way, this app would be the app I would tell you to get. Again, it’s amazing!!!

### 5/5 — I love it! Please get this app!

*2017-08-08*

I love this app because it has Lenny faces, emo cons, and more! I use them all the time to describe what I am feeling or sometimes to be funny and troll other people! I also like how you have the ability to make you're own emocon and paste it on the keyboard! This app is just plain beautiful, I can't wait to see what else you update in the game!

### 4/5 — Great app, good functionality. Simple, but it works.

*2017-07-10*

UPDATE: Developer response has fixed my previous issue with the app. Thank you for the quick response and the quick fix. 
App doesn't have any major flaws, it's simple and limited in functionality but it works fine. Free upgrade is a nice touch. Keyboard works perfectly, custom feature is nice as well. Decent selection right off the bat, however there are plenty more Dongers I'd love to see included.

**Developer response:** Hey, really sorry about that. I made the mistake of trying to convert a float to an integer and that caused the code to interpret 0.99 as 0 meaning, "Free".
Thanks for pointing that out, I've made the in app purchase free ($0.00) now if you want to "buy" it. I've pushed a new build out to Apple and a update to fix this will be out within the next two weeks. Thanks
