Nothing is there when I hit the app ### 1/5 — Garbage. *2018-05-17* This is so bum. It needs to be free. I tested it and it isn’t even operable. **Developer response:** Hi and sorry to hear. It is working and it is kind of a trick: When you select the sticker, you will only see a blank space. The sticker itself is in the upper left corner (as suggested in the screenshots). Click and hold on that upper left corner and drag the sticker over a message (you can and sometimes need to do that several times to fully hide the message). I hope this helps and if so: please consider adjusting your rating! Thank you very much! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-09-07* I cannot get this sticker to work. **Developer response:** Hi and sorry to hear.

How do I find a white strip to cover a text message? Update: After numerous email messages with app support, I still can't get this app to work. **Developer response:** Hi and sorry to hear.

Thank you very much! ### 4/5 — bigger box *2019-01-29* i love the app but i think the box should be a little bit bigger incase of bigger messages.. dragging the box lots of times takes time ### 5/5 — Yes. It works. *2020-06-27* It is a bit of a trick, because you are taking a white box (which is what you want to cover the offending text/pic/gif/whatever!!) and moving it to iMessage. Follow the instructions, you WILL find it and it will work. Also you can pinch and expand it to cover larger spaces. Be aware that if the other iPhone is using the Dark Theme.... it will indeed appear as a white box and they will be curious as to what was covered up. 🤪 ### 5/5 — I loved it *2019-08-12* Thanku so much for whoever invented it I love, you saved my life cuz I accidentally sent someone a message that wasn’t supposed to go to them and it was a serious matter and this app saved me. Thanks Once again keep up worth the good work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
