Great giphy alternative for quick reactions. How about favorites so I can quickly jump to common words/phrases I’ve used in the past? ### 5/5 — Retro joy *2024-09-04, version 1.0* Life is too short not to put effort into important things, and figgling has made me more aware of how casually I used type in the past. Now, if I have an important message to send, it will be by figgle. The message is important, so it will also carry the weight of the enduring, painstaking art of crafting ascii graphics. Thanks for coming to my WWIV powered bbs. ### 5/5 — Praise + suggestions *2024-09-03, version 1.0* I love this app!! It’s great for titles, text messages, fun, or just experimentation. My favorite fonts are slant, shimrod, chunky, and doh. (Seriously! Having letters within the letters is really cool!) For my suggestions: I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to copy as text, so I think it would be good to have a tutorial when you open the app for the first time, or instead of putting the manual in the little menu, put a ? Mark in the top leftcorner, and it will repeat the tutorial if you missed it. A cool (but ambitious) new feature would be a custom font. You would make each letter, in a 32 by 32 pixel grid. You would have a pencil and eraser, and when you went through all the characters, you would have your own font! The pixels could be represented by ⬛️, or any of these color boxes: 🟩🟥🟪🟨🟦🟧🟫. Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I love it!! I’m super excited to send it to my friends!! Ps: I think you are onto something with the ice cream idea in the about section in the info menu. ### 5/5 — Fun and unique *2024-09-03, version 1.0* I really like the font styles available. Just a really simple app but overall quite enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Figgles review *2024-09-03, version 1.0* Great App, cool fonts. Would love to see even more in the future. ### 5/5 — Figgles Review *2024-09-03* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Figgle me silly *2024-09-03, version 1.0* Once you figgle you’ll never diddle! ### 5/5 — Super Fun! *2024-09-02* Love this app. Works great in iMessage even with Android users. Lots of great style options and the yearly subscription is totally reasonable. ### 5/5 — Fun tool to have in Messages *2024-09-02, version 1.0* Nice, simple, does one thing well. I use it mostly from Messages to send a quick greeting. ## Frequently asked questions about Figgles ### What is Figgles?
