I found out about it because I wanted to know how to put emojis on pictures. I texted my friend and he looked it up, found out I needed an app to do it. I went to the App Store and looked up "emojis on pictures." I found Insta emoji and downloaded it, because out of all the other apps that did it, this was the only one with 5.8 stars in ratings. Loved it! I love how you can draw with emojis, and put emojis on photos and edit photos and make memes and more! Love love love! All I wanted was emojis on photos, and I got that and more. I’m supporting it fully! If you want to do the same thing I wanted to do, get Insta emojis. #instaemoji #loveit #gettheapp 😍😘❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome amazing no cool no I can't think of it *2017-09-14, version 2.2* What a great game you guys made up I wish I could send you guys the pictures that I just did.

It's AMAZING!!!😂😂😂😎😄😍😜 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 1st *2022-10-24, version 3.0* This game is stupid but if you want to get it then that’s OK bye wrecker means you don’t know yeah and don’t ever ever ever I mean you can get it but I don’t recommend you get it because it’s really boring I don’t even know how to work this it’s stupid and I don’t understand and it doesn’t really have enough stuff in it you won’t even understand it how to work it it doesn’t make sense it just changes the color of the background and thing of the picture of your pet and you can get it but you don’t have to and this is our report me and his sister Hannah but really stupid then you can get it and if you write the same thing that I righted you’re good and we like you ### 3/5 — Ok for free *2018-12-08, version 3.0* Useful and easy to use for a quick silly add to photos. iOS 12 seems to have caused a glitch when adding text to pics. The keyboard covers the bottom of the screen and you cannot see or access the active text box or font controls. The only way I found to retract the keyboard was to enter multiple empty lines with return key after text to show a bit of the top of the bottom pane to tap on. Using iphone 10 XS Max w/ iOS 12. ### 3/5 — Wow but.... *2018-05-26, version 3.0* I really like this app. I never really use the emoji or stickers section because I do photography and I do the effects to make my pics better and more cool. But it keeps kicking me out of the app in the middle of an editing and when I get back in it I have to start that pic over again 😤🙄😵this is very stressful and it is very necessary that you fix it. Other wise its a great app and has some really awesome features. Please fix it and have a great day. 💜✌️⭐️😜😬👱🏻‍♀️ ### 3/5 — Multi racial stickers *2018-02-19, version 3.0* When I first download this app I could put little kid sticker faces over my Foster child’s face and I could choose between white, black, mixed but now when I go to apply a sticker it will only give me the option for a white child. We get kids of all races in our home and it would be nice to use a sticker appropriate with the child color. ### 4/5 — This app is sooo cool *2021-12-08, version 3.0* I got this app for a specific reason and thought that it would probably be some stupid app where you have to pay money for like everything and have a bunch of adds. It’s not like that at all. It’s free and it’s works amazingly. It can do some funny things and I just think this is one of the best apps that I’ve ever had. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2022-07-26, version 3.0* This game is really good i love how you can whiten up everything that’s white it’s really useful i usually use these photos as my wallpaper or profile pics. So if you want new wallpaper or profile pics this is the app you need you can also blur things and i love how it’s COMPLETELY FREE i swear it 100% free. ### 5/5 — 100% Love *2022-07-24, version 3.0* Hello, if your someone like me that does not have a proper photo editing app this app is for you. It’s not a scam and it free it has any emoji you can think of and you don’t have to have social media to edit or instal. I’m looking forward to using this app more . It,s not a waste of Time from mkayla b ### 5/5 — I love it! *2022-04-01, version 3.0* Please download this app. It is amazing and there is nothing I would change about it. You can edit your pictures very easily and it looks so cool! ### 5/5 — Poorly designed app *2021-10-31, version 3.0* This app is terrible. You got them several times consuming steps to alter and edit photos and most times it ends up freezing. Specially after using text on the photos. Do not recommend. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-11-01, version 3.0* This app is for free and no stupid cash grab or ads. I really recommend this to ppl who can’t edit photos well because the control are easy and lets you do lots of things with emoji. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow, just wow *2020-09-20, version 3.0* When I downloaded this, I was expecting like ads everywhere and watermarks when you save it and having to pay for every emoji, but this app is the opposite of every single app nowadays on this App Store. This app is really good and should have a perfect 5 stars. It’s really good at put emojis on people and had every function that I wanted for a app that puts an emoji on people. Once again, I strongly recommend you get this app if you want to put emojis on people and should have a perfect 5 stars on here. ### 5/5 — Really Good! Just one thing... *2020-08-06, version 3.0* When I got it, I expect watermarks everywhere, you having to pay for every feature, and ads every 3 seconds. But, it surprised me! It’s REALLY good, you can also add effects to your photos, and they give you so many options on how to edit it, I’m actually shocked. Also, I totally expected me to have to screenshot the photo because if I export it, there would be a watermark, but no watermarks in sight. And, I LOVE the way they make you move the emojis, it makes it easy to line them up perfectly, and it’s very unique. My only complaint is that I don’t think they update their emojis so newer ones aren’t there. But overall, 10/10, definitely not just some cash grab ### 5/5 — Awesome and so inspiring *2020-05-21, version 3.0* Insta Emoji is great. It is great for someone like me who is creative. Have fun with it just like I did.😀👍 If you are also a person who is inspired by something you see go for it and maybe you’ll be famous one day for it. This app is perfect for you. ### 5/5 — I say great app *2020-03-27, version 3.0* This is a really good app I think all the people that dot have phones or this app is really missing out I feel bad that not every person alive as this app because they should have it because this is an amazing funny app gag you can play with all day. Also if you ha e PicsArt you can post this son it and lots of people on there will want to know your secret. So to all the people without a phone or this app you should 1. Get a phone and download this app. Or 2. If have a phone just go to the App Store and download this app!!! ### 5/5 — Really great. Not greedy with permissions. *2019-01-14, version 3.0* Does exactly what you’d want it to — it lets you add the built in emojis as stickers to photos. It also has an alternate emoji set and some nice extra stickers as well. Easy to use and very fun. Controls and tools are well designed and a pleasure to use. Doesn’t ask for permissions to use your whole photo library which I thought was a nice touch. I assume that means the app only has access to the photo that you choose and not the whole library. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
