Needs some technical updates and needs emojis for people of color

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2020-06-30*

Keeps crashing after I send emoji from app

### 4/5 — Cool ap but needs and update

*2020-04-03*

Suspect it needs an update for ios 13 but for the most part it works just freezes alot

### 1/5 — Waste money

*2019-11-30, version 1.1.2*

Waste money because you can not use emoji. Always write “copied” and I can not use any emoji. I want return my money

### 2/5 — Ehh

*2019-05-26, version 1.1.2*

Don’t love the characters.

### 1/5 — Ugh!  I should have listened

*2019-05-10, version 1.1.2*

I paid to unlock the extra emoji pack and it hasn’t unlocked.  Now their help link can’t be found.  WTH??!!!

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2019-03-24*

Wont let you download, waist of money!

### 1/5 — Look elsewhere

*2019-03-02*

Extremely disappointed with this app. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste an emoji into my messenger or instagram. It wants me to “allow full access” but that includes potential my credit card information and home address. If there was a way to have my money refunded I would.

### 1/5 — DON’T DOWNLOAD

*2019-01-19, version 1.1.2*

MOST USELESS APP EVER AND IT DOESN’T EVEN WORK, IT JUST LETS YOU COPY THE PICTURE AND PASTE IT, DOES NOT WORK IN TEXTS OR SOCIAL MEDIA 😡😡😡

### 1/5 — MISLEADING

*2019-01-14, version 1.1.2*

This app is very misleading - the images are cool but nothing more than copy and paste. I would not recommend this at all!! Money wasted!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-01-13, version 1.1.2*

I want just the emoji not the icon plus a huge white box that won’t allow me to put it next to a regular emoji I get with the iPhone. Terrible

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-10-16*

Don’t waste your $.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work as stated

*2018-09-25*

You can’t use it as a keyboard as they state. You can’t even copy & paste it. Every time I copy nothing happens so you can’t even paste it. A rip off!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2018-08-12, version 1.1.2*

Paid to have unlocked and never unlocked!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it !!!!

*2018-07-26*

Do not buy this app!!!!! Doesn’t work keeps crashing and only shows ONE EMOJI and you can’t even use it !!!! I WANT A REFUND !!!!!

### 4/5 — Love this app but....

*2018-06-23*

Unable to use with Instagram :(. Hopefully soon?

### 4/5 — Not enough women

*2018-03-16*

Wish there were more women in the still images but it works ok

### 1/5 — Letters and numbers only

*2018-03-09, version 1.1.2*

Unfortunately the copy and paste function only pastes the code which doesn’t change very I to the image 

Not worth the 99p

### 1/5 — Rubbish App

*2018-01-18*

The worst app I have EVER downloaded.
I just got fleeced $1.49.
How do I get my money back?
The icon you select must be copied and then pasted into the message...rubbish.
Secondly, the icon you select isn’t the one that copied, how do apps like this get approved for sale by Apple.
I will be taking this further.

### 1/5 — Misleading App

*2018-01-17*

January 2018 

Hi guys! 

This is not a “gymoji” it is a PICMOJI. 

So I tried the app to give it the benefit of the doubt and yup. These negative reviews below are true. 

So the app is really a keyboard with PICTURES of fitness equipment. 

You click on the PICTURE and it automatically says “COPIED” 
THEN, 
You have to paste it on iMessage or whatever text you're trying to send. 

It’s a hassle. 
Takes up phone memory. 
Also you are accepting the developers full access to your phone information by “allowing access” they mention it in the “?” Help icon. 

No you can’t use it on social media apps. (Its literally a picture you are copying) 
No it’s not worth it. 
(Easy as going on google and copying & pasting a pic *smh*)
No I wouldn’t download it.

### 1/5 — Waste of 0.99 can’t use inline with messages

*2024-02-19*

Even if you turn on size and scale the icon it pastes using an entire line! No way to place alongside any text . Utter waste

### 1/5 — Not a true text emoji

*2023-09-08, version 1.1.2*

Can’t use as a normal text emoji. Rip off enough people and get rich

### 1/5 — Not in message

*2023-01-19, version 1.1.2*

Thought it would add to the message but only in a new message

### 1/5 — Not an emoji keyboard

*2021-03-11, version 1.1.2*

You can copy and paste but it adds it as a picture so it’s not an emoji keyboard as advertised a complete waste of 99p and I’d like my money back!

### 1/5 — Terrible performance

*2020-12-23, version 1.1.2*

would not recommend

### 1/5 — Should be free

*2020-06-21, version 1.1.2*

It’s not worth the $1

### 1/5 — Less than 1 star

*2020-06-09, version 1.1.2*

Want a refund

### 1/5 — No Start

*2020-06-02*

Wasted Money 💰...
Doesn’t work!

### 1/5 — Dissapointed

*2020-05-11*

Paid for this app just to find out that you can onky use the emojis in text messages. I bought this to use on social media but it doesn’t work. Don’t waste your money!

### 1/5 — Dumb!

*2019-12-04, version 1.1.2*

Great, useful app. Love all of the emojis which are bodybuilding!

### 5/5 — How to use in iMessage

*2017-03-26*

The instructions are on the app but I'll add them here bc of all the negative reviews. I'm glad I didn't listen to the reviews and listened to my gut bc it works just like it should and it's awesome! 

1. Go to settings 
2. Go to General
3. Select Keyboard
4. Select Keyboards again
5. Add new keyboard 'Gymoji'
6. Now go back to keyboard list and select 'Gymoji'
7. Toggle switch to "Allow Full Access"

You can now use the emojis in your iMessages & texts.

You're welcome.

Now get to the gym and stop whining like a girly man!
